Hey guys - I've just joined the board after I've read some really cool topics/questions on this board - and I'm absolutely fresh to home recording so I've run into this thing after I bought my mixer couple of days ago. So I've recorded all instrumental tracks for my album and when it came time to record vocals - I thought just my BR-600 multitrack wouldn't be enough, so I've decided to buy a mixer, and an AKG condenser mike in addition. So the sound is crystal clear, I love the equalizer controls on the mixer and everything.
The problem is this - I can't record just a vocal track while sending instrumental tracks to the headphones. As far as my home recording knowledge goes here's what I get -
A) I plug the speakers out of my laptop into mixer's CD in. I can hear intrumental track, I can hear myself singing BUT - my multitrack picks up both vocals and instumental tracks.
B) Same connection - but now there is this "CD/tape to CONTROL" button on the mixer, that if pressed does NOT send the instrumental track to the recorder, BUT - I can't hear myself singing in the headphones. It does send the vocals track though - no problems there, but not being able to hear your voice is a huge drawback.
Here's my setup -
And here're two clear images of my Xenyx -

I guess it's a long shot, but I'm sure there is some way to solve this thing and I hope someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
