Volume faders/mute in mixer panel[Resolved]

[combo.glc]

Hello everyone.
I have a question on the volumes faders and mutes in AT4 mixer panel.
I was trying to isolate the sound of the various mic sources, room sound, DI, in order to distinguish the various contributions to the overall result.
I thought when I lower to -infinity all the faders (mic 1, mic 2, room, DI) or mute them, the output should be silent.
This seems not to be the case, I still hear some sound.
Where does this sound come from? Which source?
Of course, when I lower the master, everything gets silent.
Still, I wonder, besides mics e DI, what other sources of sound does AT4 provide?
Thank you in advance for any contribution.
Best
Giovanni

Hello Giovanni

You are correct, when all faders are lowered or all mutes are on you should not be hearing anything. I have just tested this on my setup and that's exactly as it should be. All mutes on - no sound.

What interface are you using? Could it be that you are hearing some direct sound from the input, rather than what is coming through your software?

Thank you for confirming that
I will double check tonight if I am missing something

I am using iRig HD2 in post FX mode

Ok, I managed to understand what happened
It was my own fault
I forgot to consider that many presets have two amps (or just two cabs), so two mixers and two sets of faders/mutes to activate/deactivate
Hope this helps some naive guys like me
Thank you

Ahhhhhh. Hadn't thought of that - well spotted. Glad it's all sorted and thanks for coming back with the solution, this may help other users in the future.
