Hi Matty:

I never use the speakers on my old Yamaha PSR-2000. Headphones let you hear your vocals much better. I would advise experimenting with your machine to find the best setting for your vocal volume versus the style volume... and on some styles, you'll need to adjust the individual volume of drums, bass, etc. to get the entire mix cooking just right.

Best of luck. Glad to have you here at the Zone.
