Topic: TotalMix - Gain freeze?
Is it possible to freeze the Gain knob in TotalMix, so that it doesn't auto-adjust the volume of my mic?
I'm using a Babyface, with a mic connected to XLR "Line in L" (what it says on the XLR breakout cable), and can control the mic volume on the AN 1 channel strip, with 48V on, and gain set to 42.0 which sounds fine. Problem is, when I begin to record a conversation over Skype (via Cubase or Garageband - I'm on a Mac), the Gain knob keeps auto-adjusting itself, and either makes my voice or the other persons voice extremely loud (60) or very quite (drops to 20 or lower - Skype call test drops the gain down to 0). Why is this auto-adjusting the volume? Can I freeze it somehow so that it stays at 42?
Here's a screenshot of my settings -
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*EDIT*
I managed to fix the problem somehow - or maybe it was a software glitch, but it seems to be working at the moment.
