Hi, so I have a Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK which I am working on learning to use. I have it connected to my Windows computer, drivers installed, etc. The 12 audio channels are working and I can record multiple channels at the same time. One thing is happening which is confusing to me, though. On each channel, the volume into the DAW appears to only be controlled by the gain knob. The fader slider does not make any difference, in fact I can have it completely down and the DAW (I have tried multiple ones, and the behaviour is the same) will still recognize audio input from the channel, controlled by the gain knob.
Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? It seems really odd to me.
Update: Found this in the manual... "Console channels always send their post-gain, pre-EQ signal to their respective USB channel to be picked up and recorded by the PC/MAC Via USB. The 2-track (Master Left/Right) output uses the last 2 USB channels on each console and is always actively sending post fader level down the USB stream."
Does this mean the behaviour is expected? Can I get a translation...? Thanks.
