This is true for nearly any analog mixer. If the fader is post input, you should control your input gain at the input (mic pre or line in level). The block diagram shows the fader completely after the ADC/DAC stage so you will have to control your gain at the input. (i'm still waiting on my Zed-R so someone correct me if i'm wrong)

I've always viewed the Zed-R16 as more of an analog mixer with awesome converter and a "nice to have" midi add-on, not a control surface that also has conversion.
It sounds like you might be better off with something like the M-Audio ProjectMix or Mackie's Mackie Control Universal. Those are far more robust in terms of hands on control of your mixes. The ProjectMix also has audio input but my impressions of it (based on opinions on this board) is that the conversion quality is not the #1 strong suit of the ProjectMix. Many people still like it as a control surface though.
