Maybe mine is defective cause i have my mic plugged into the mic 1 input and i can turn that fader all the way down in the mixer software the interfae comes with and i still get a signal.....hot as hell i am running a at4040 into a chameleon labs into a dbx comp and i have to turn my mic input on my labs all the way down to like -50db and then turn the out put way down almost off to avoid gainstaging. the output on the dbx is by passed to i know its not it there. i just want to bypass the pres on the firebox with out using a 1/4'th input. so i tryed to turn down the fader in the presonus mixer and it did not effect the signal at all. i have tryed this with the mixer out bypassed as well as the software fade turned down. am i just not routing it right or applying something right. or does it sound like my box is not working right cause the only big thing i have to say about the quality is that it kinda drys out some forms of speach or hip hop but not too bad i mean , its not a motu or rme. but hey.
