Most USB mixers only send the stereo output to your DAW. You need either a multi channel audio interface or a mixer than sends individual channels over USB.

Are you sure you have the audio inputs set correctly in your DAW when recording?

I've tried changing all the outputs inputs configurations but its really limited to 1/2 or 1 or 2 ,

I could handle it recording everything at once from the mixer, but its re recording all the former tracks onto each next one,

Found a workaround , say I put my kickdrums on channel 1 , then I'll pan that left and record channel 2 , (so it doesn't bleed in) then after I've recorded , I put the channel 2 on a 1 then pan that left and record again then when I'm done recording bring everything back to centre , it's a bit annoying anyone think of a better way?

Sounds like how the old 4 track cassette recorders used to work. Fine if you're recording in mono ...
Is there no way on the mixer to stop the computer sending audio back to itself? Assuming I am understanding the problem correctly.

There is mate if you un press the send ext to usb button , problem then is all I can only hear is something very very faint , only through headphones nothing else.
