Topic: TotalMix Question - Can always hear my mic
I know this is a really simple question, but I still have so much trouble understanding TotalMix and can use some help.
I basically have everything setup in a way that works for my DAW, sending audio out to my monitors and headphones, recording from my mic and guitar, and it all works and sounds great, EXCEPT, the only way to silence my mic is turn the gain all the way down on its input (AN1).
I'm sure that's not correct. But muting it does nothing, turning the fader down does nothing. But I'm sitting here with my headphones on and I hear myself typing coming through the headphones. If I turn the gain knob all the way down on that input I don't hear it anymore (although no doubt I'd imagine it's probably still there, just totally silent from no gain). Isn't there a way to just mute it when I'm not using it?
What am I doing wrong with the routing of everything?
