but then no signal is being sent to the efx unit and thus nothing is being put out from it which results in no sound at all. or have i understood the fx loop thing totally wrong?

like...if you use the headphone jack for sends...then you still have signal even if the fader is down...
yes, but my problem here is that the signal is not being sent when the fader is down. and i'm asking if that is normal. also using the headphone output doesn't seem to work very well as the output from the soundbite is way too silent then (i'm saying this after just quickly trying to use it with the headphone out).

I bet it should work...maybe if you are using the headphone jack you need to press cue on the channel? because if you cue you should hear the track even when the fader is down...and be able to control volume with headphones volume knob...

using the headphone out the soundbite works, it's just that i have to crank it up so much that i can't listen thru the headphones anymore if i want the sampled signal to be loud enough.
using the efx loop i haven't got it to work at all.
also i haven't got the vu meter to work how i want. i'd want it to measure the amplitude of the signals coming to each channel after the gain and before the fader (or rotary knob) and that seems to work only on the headphone cue and the signal from that isn't loud enough for the vu meter.
and if anyone knows how fx loops work and if i can get rid of my problem with a new mixer (xone:92 rotary most likely would be the only one i'd be willing to invest in) then i'd like to hear it.
