I have an Alesis Mulitmix 16 firewire and use Adobe audition 3.0. I have drums miced up and have the mixer firewired to computer. I have a very weak signal to the program. You know if anyone could link me or email me or something a good diagram that shows the path of the signal through the mixer that would help me greatly.

According to your documentation on page 27 all of the individual channels are sent out post fader into the DAW. That means your levels will be controlled from the gain/trim pot at the top and that the fader should be set for unity gain. On page 12 of your manual is a guide to setting levels. Documentation is a good thing.

You never want to record with peaks higher than about -6db.

what documentation are you looking at? i got the reference manual from the alesis website and the page numbers you indicated do not match what you say they should say. here is what i have as far as docs go

Well, that is the same manual I downloaded from the website to check out for you. The page number at the bottom of the pdf doc is 12 or 27. The Adobe number in the ribbon bar at the top is 14 or 29. In either case it is right there for god and everyone to read. The rest is simple signal flow.

Really. Read the manual. Cover to cover. Then it all breaks down to gozinta and gozouta. I promise.

I better stop because I'm starting to break into the same speech I give my 14 yo. And I just made him try to keep up with me while in the front leaning rest position (pushups for you civilians out there).
