Audition not responding to mixing board

Question

Hi,

I've recently purchased a mixing board for some audio work. I am probably somewhere south of beginner with regards to my expertise here.

I've plugged a mic into my mixing board through an XLR, which is subsequently connected to my Mac through USB. I'm recording voice through the mic into Adobe Audition no problem, and I can record multiple inputs onto different tracks no problem as well.

However, Audition is not responding to my mixing board as I am recording. For example, even if I press mute on my mic input on the mixing board while I'm recording, the audio going into the recording on Audition is unaffected. It is as if the mic is playing directly into the laptop.

Is there any obvious solution to this? I have only just downloaded Audition, so the settings are pretty much untouched.

Thanks

I think that there's a fairly good chance that if you have a mixer that can provide you with the facility to provide individual feeds per channel, then that's exactly what it's doing - taking the individual feeds from the outputs of the mic pres in the mixer, and feeding them directly to Audition. If that's the case, then none of the controls on the mixer really have any say in the channel outputs at all. But like Richard says - what is the mixer?
