Help : Multitrack Recording + Audio Splliter

hil. i currently have a aleses multimix usb 8fx which i use for recording and stuff. the qn here, i have a band and i would like the band to play and here all the sound through headphones via the multimix itself.


drums > miced > cables > mixer
2 guitars > cables > mixer
bass > cables > mixer
vocals > cables > mixer

so most prolly i would have around 5 or 6 inputs through the mixer.
for the guitar and bass is not miced from an amp as i would like to make it like a "silent-headphones" session.

from what i understand, to let all the band mates here through headphones,

audio out > multiple output splitter > earpiece > BOOM!

the problem about using too much splitter is that so call the output power has to be shared and i dont want this.

SO THE QN IS,

1. is there any way that the band can hear without using a splitter, maybe through some designated hardware?

2. if there is no designated hardware other than a splitter, is there a splitter that is powered so that it wont divide the power from the mixer?

3. is there any way to record using my ALESIS as a multitrack output instead of a single stereo file ( i doubt it can be done)

4. the place that sells this stuff.

Thanks guys!
 
I have done something similar
I use an infra red wireless transmitter and headphone
Buy tha same brand ,you need only one transmitter,
All 3 or 4 headphone will received the same signal
 
I bought at cash converter abt $30 per set,
If you use wired headphone ,it get all tangle up
You could try using a Bluetooth transmitter and the guy can hear over their earphone from their smartphone
 
1) Headphone amp. they come in 4 or 8 channels usually. anything behringer or if you want something better build for on-the-go, I'm using Rolls for my location recordings. bought from hungbros.com . Use head/earphones with long cables (I'm using Audio Technica ATHM30). Extenders may break the connection.

2) read 1

3) nope. only Stereo. from what I saw on the specs. You would have to have something like Zoom R16/24 and have everything in and out as you like it.

Refer to this live multitrack recording video I did - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzmDL9JR7XM
The un-mixed version was what I heard in the headphones. Guitar/Bass/Vocal/Keyboard+4 drum mics SNR/Kick/LRTom/FTom
so if you get to record individual tracks you can manipulate the tracks to sound much better than a direct stereo feed.
