Hey guys, for some reason, the gain knob on my Fast-Track Pro seems to be doing fuck all.
My guitar is going into a phantom powered Countryman DI, XLR input into the pre, but adjusting the gain knob is not reducing the input when monitored in Reaper (mix knob @ 100%). It's too hot for my liking and engaging the pad reduces the signal far more than I desire. I adjust the gain knob so the red peak light on the Fast-Track doesn't light up, but even if I turn it all the way down, I'm still getting the same input volume in Reaper. Has anyone had any similar problems? Am I missing something simple?
