I am attempting to record my drum set using 3 dynamic mics. I have them plugged into a Behringer mono analog minimix box which has no markers on it besides 0 and 10 on the gain knobs. I then have the box's output going to the line in jack on my pc. I'm trying to figure out the relationship between this preamp gain and the recording slider in Audacity.

Hey guys, :)

What is the difference between the gain and fader on a mixer?

This may sound like a really basic question but I had difficulty the other day trying to explain to a friend? I started to mention that the gain is a ratio and then got lost!
