    Default Question about DJM 900 headphone volume

    I’ve noticed that while mixing with the DJM 900 with headphones on, the master channel always sound significantly louder than the channel I’m attempting to mix in despite adjusting the headphone volume. Actually noticed it on all the 900s I’ve mixed on. Is there a setting I’m missing or is this something I need to get used to?

    master volume is probably turned up.

    use master/cue knob, that should solve your problem

    Make sure your Master Output and Channel VU meters are level. Otherwise they won't sound balanced.

    After messing with the headphone volume last night, it seemed like I had everything set properly and both channels were equal in volume. But one thing I wasn’t able to do was lower the master channel in the headphones so that I could hear the channel being cued well enough to beatmatch. Coming from a DJM 350, I was able to adjust the master channel in the headphones without altering the gain/highs/mids/lows.

    you can do that by using the cue/master knob, that sets the ratio at which the cued channels and master cue are mixed in the headphones

    it's right above the volume knob

    Tried that, but didn't hear any difference which way I turned it.

    There should be an obvious change in Cue/Master mix when you turn the dial. Make sure you only have one channel's Cue activated, as well as the Master Cue.

    I know it's obvs... But do you have only the buttons pressed for the master and the deck you want to cue ? You dont have both tracks and the master cued?
