All my recording is overdubbed. First rhythm, then lead, then vocals. Problem: when I play back the recorded tracks through headphones they sound very faint. My "live" track drowns them out and I get off rhythm. When I play everything back through my powered monitors, levels are okay, but...

Hi everybody: When I hook up my board to monitors I notice a big difference in the volume of the 'control room' outputs compared to the volume of the 'main mix' outputs. Is there an obvious reason these outputs would deliver a varying voltage to the monitors? I mean, it's a very noticeable...
