Connecting a CD player to Hercules RMX

[rhetski]

I wasnt sure where to post this, hope here is ok??

So, I have a Denon DNS700 I want to connect to my Hercules RMX in case my computer shits itself or I wanna play CD's etc etc

Anyhoo. I have connected it all up got it all working but I have no control over the sound volume coming out of it? It literally blasts out so freaking loud...I am pretty new to this all this and am sure it is set up right? Anyone else using a Hercules able to give a clue? Ta

I have the RMX and im pretty sure you plug your CD players into the master input on the RMX, then run leads from master out to the master in on whatever mixer your using

ok i just re-read your post and your saying you want to actually use it as the mixer?

I just cant work out why it is at least 5 times louder than my normal channels?

I have it hooked into the 1&2 input.

So I can get it to play ok by pressing the source 1 button on the RMX but it seriously blasts out so loud its insane??

I found when switching from my RMX yo my CDJ's that the gain had to be way up on the RMX where as my 400's only have to be about half way to pump, just check your gain 1st, then eq's, then volume faders
