Mic in the mains

[King Burton]

Using Behringer UMC1820 Interface - sends 1+2=Main - 3+4=Mon1 - 5+6=Mon2 - 7+8 =Mon3 - 9+10=Mon4

All outputs muted and volumes to zero.

Have a mic that is hot in the mains no matter what I do. I have changed every setting I know - including deleting the channel. there is just no way I should be getting audio.

What could I have missed?

Thx for your assist.

Sounds like direct-monitoring is enabled on the interface, bypassing the DAW altogether.

Are you seeing level on the virtual hardware bus in CbB's console?

Hi Dave.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. 

"Sounds like direct-monitoring is enabled on the interface, bypassing the DAW altogether."

That sounds exactly like the situation. All mics hot no matter what. Didn't even know that was an option. Found it. Move vol knob to full PB1-2. Solved that.

"Are you seeing level on the virtual hardware bus in CbB's console?"

Cakewalk acting weird. Can't turn off effects in monitors. A little reverb on snare, now all sends have reverb on all track sends. There is a Bass track somewhere roaring in Mon. Have muted+gain off+volume off+routing to "NONE". No signal on the meters. Looked for hidden tracks. No idea where it's coming from.

Got me baffled

As I'm writing this it looks like a grenade we3nt off in my tracks. Things moved and renamed. Had to go thru and fix. NOW - still have bass track blaring in mon sends and no control.

sigh

There's no substitute for getting hands-on with a project to sort out things like this. PM me if you want to share a copy of the project somewhere.

But it could still be involving the Behringer's internal routing if it has a mixer app.
