Audition + Soundcraft Notepad12fx + 3-4 Mics. Please Help.

Alright so boom, I'm planning on recording a podcast with 3 host and sometimes a guest. I'm using a soundcraft notepad 12fx with adobe audition on windows. My issue is I can't figure out how to manipulate all 3 microphones. So I've tried ASIO, MME, and Wasapi, but most tutorials lead me to believe I should be on ASIO so cool. So while on ASIO the only options I see when I select inputs for my tracks before I arm the record button are [01M] Analogue 1, [02M] Analogue 2, [03M] In3, and [04M] In4. When I put Mic 1 on analogue 1, Mic 2 on analogue 2, and Mic 3 on In3. The first 2 seem just fine, but In3 picks up the first 2 mics audio and I'm stuck. Theres probably a step beforehand I should've done and I reaaaaally hope somebody that sees this can show me. Also, I have no idea what to set my audio channel mapping on because I don't know what all of those abbreviations are. Attached I'll have some pictures from my screen and setting I have which may help.

The mixer you are using only outputs to "stereo", i.e. two channels.  IOW, all your inputs are automatically sent, by the mixer, to either the Stereo Left (your "Analogue 01M") or Stereo Right (your "Analogue 02M").  

 

To be able to have 3 discrete mic imputs recorded to three separate tracks in Audition you need a mixer or, more likely, an audio interface which can output at least three discrete channels to your computer.

Unfortunately that's not quite true - I've just read the manual. With the 12fx you can have four output channels but you have to set this up the way you want it routed in the mixer itself - it's the last thing in section 7 of the manual. I suspect that once you've done this, the other mics will show up as available on IN3 and IN4.
