Hello Simon. thanks for the reply… the mute button next to the virtual monitor fader in the lower right hand corner mutes both, the headphone and speaker (monitor output 1-2)…. Ive had to create an aggregate device and run another interface out of the DAW outputs in order to use the headphone and monitors simultaneously, without haven't to fiddle with knob each time..
here's a screenshot of my set up...

Hi Lee,
Apologies, you're correct, the Mute button for the 6i6 in Mix Control is global, is this slightly different to some of our other units.
However this doesn't negate the fact that you should simply be able to turn down the main volume of the unit and control each of headphone outputs independently of the main volume.
That said, it seems that you have your output routing going to your main outs and headphones as your two Mixes, but in each of those Mixes you do not have DAW 1 & 2 present in the Mix, this will mean that DAW 1 & 2 are not being routed to your outputs as its not part of the mix.
If you add in DAW 1 & 2 to each of your two mixes (see below screenshot), this should resolve that.
Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.
Best regards

If im correctly you like to hear your daw over your headphones and your self when doing a voice over. At that time you like to mute your main speakers.
When done you like to switch back to monitors.... Right?
I bed your headphones output is linked to the outputs 1/2 just like any other focuarite product.
What if you copy the output in your daw/ program?
One daw output to 1/2 ( your headphones) and one output to 2/4 ( monitors)
With perhaps with a solo setting on your headphones ouput channel you could kill your monitors while recording.
I'm not shure if your program provides this option but it is nice to check this.

Btw i'm not familiar with the program twisted Wave....
