Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK (multitrack usb mixer)

I tested here, not at all this kind of problem on the individual tracks,
on the groups or the master …
Return in warranty, certainly a defective fader.

My Soundcraft is sending signal out of all Aux Sends simultaneously, despite having all the knobs but one (the one i want the signal to send to) turned down.

Don’t know if its user error but it seems super weird to me…

Additionally Channel 7 is noisy.

Does anyone experienced this/knows how to fix this/knows if that’s kind of normal with analog mixers?

Edit: I need to clarify: The signal “spreads out” to the outher Aux Outs, it is not sent equally to all of them - so it is sent to the Aux i want it to, but there’s going some very quiet signal sent to the others as well…

Also the PreAmps seem to “pan” the signal… Can’t be normal i think, i must have a faulty unit… :frowning:

My 12MTK unit started acting up* after a year of light use. It has been the single worse investment i have made in gear in my 10 years of building my studio. Send it back if you can.

  • channels with noise, pots crackling while turning, buttons not coming back up, effects knobs resetting on rotate to the first effect, not my selected one. Just a mess.

I returned two of them and eventually got a full refund even after 6 months. Bad quality control unfortunately.

Bought mine about 2 years ago, no worries, maybe bad production runs.
Whether on Thomann or Audiofanzinne, a very good overall rating.
Sorry for those who have worries but do not generalize.

I’ve got some crackle on some of my faders after ~3 years but it doesn’t bother me. It’s probably treatable with e.g. DeoxIT. Also the built-in effects often do not light up properly.

Hi peeps, a bit of resurrection on this topic :stuck_out_tongue:
I got this mixer a month ago, very happy with it although I’d like to figure out the best way to record post EQ. I was thinking of simply “self patching” with the aux’es back to an available channel and then recording on the computer, or just recording straight into my Octatrack, but I’m open to suggestions. Sounds amazing and if like to improve my sound quality with fine tuning EQ

This is my very first decent mixer (goodbye forever Behringer) so I’m learning my way in.
Thanks in advance <3

I work with a zoom directly on the phones output, it works well and does not require blocking a track or using adapters. To save on pc simply the general or the separate tracks on usb.
