Digi001 input gain does nothing...Why?

[Blind Dog]

When I try to direct input a bass guitar to input 3 on the Digi001, I get input but it's clipping the 001. So I tried to lower the input gain with the software, but it doesn't work.

The input comes in Hotter than hell, and the input gain software under "hardware settings" has no affect on the signal. Any ideas on how to control the input gain on the 3-8 on the Digi001?

Don't shoot me for asking this...but, are you sure you're completely plugged in? I've had one jack partially plugged in before, and have it uncontrollably loud as hell...
Just a first suggestion...

Yeah, I checked it. It appears to be inserted all the way. The "input gain" sliders in the Hardware settings dialog have NO effect on any of the inputs at all...

I found the answer in the answerbase at Digi. It appears that there is a bug in 5.3.1 LE for XP. The input gain faders work backwards! If you increase the slider control, that in fact decreases the input gain. If you decrease the slider control, that will increase the input gain.

All during the reheasal session last night I had the slider all the way down, due to the high input...little did I know that was cranking the input up and the cause of the problem.

Digi says they'll fix it in the next release. I can live with it.

Thanks Blind Dog. Do you by chance have the link or know the search word to find this in the answerbase?

Search on:
001 input gain

a search on Digi001 won't find much, since the name is actually Digi 001. That's a common spelling mistake, like using protools instead of the correct Pro Tools. (2 words)

Anyway, the Abase item is here:
