Track “bleed”

[PeterL]

Hi all,
I haven’t used my DP24 in a while but have recently hooked it up again.
When playing back through monitor outputs I’m getting a track/tracks that are audible on play back even when the track fader is down…
I remember coming across this before but for the life of me can’t remember I’d fixed it.. any help greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Pete

Welcome to the community @PeterL.
Could be several things.

Easiest solution, IMO: Export/Import your current tracks to a new song created with a factory default template (see Phil Tipping's video #2 in the Video Tutorial sticky for reference).

That will eliminate whatever setting is causing the current problem without needing to troubleshoot numerous possibilities.

Hi Mark,
Thanks very much for the reply.
Will give this a go. I remember coming across the problem before when I was using this machine much more regularly… eventually fixed it..but I just couldn’t remember what the solution was - and I certainly wasn’t going to find it in the less than useless user’s manual,
Cheers

As Mark says, finding the exact cause is time-consuming, but the usual culprit is having a send level turned up, so a quick way of proving this is to turn down the master send-1 level. It's only 1 knob and you don't need to select anything first, so it's worth a shot before delving deeper.

Thanks Phil,
Much appreciated,

Agreed! What you also should consider though, is to buy Phil's EXCELLENT how-to guide! It puts the "useless manual" to shame... And yes, his videos are awesome and very helpful, but at times, it is really handy to have THE book right at hand to help you out.

Thanks for that mate, I didn’t know such a thing existed though I did watch lots of Phil’s videos when I was first learning to use the thing
Cheers!
