ah...the magic smoke that makes electronics work has escaped or leaked out. if you ever see the magic smoke, your electronics device stops working. you need to either replace the part or have a technician re-inject the magic smoke for things to be back to normal.

I had this happen once on a fostex digital multitrack recorder. Somehow a dime had fallen down into the slit along one of the vertical faders. When the volume of that fader got turned up, I saw a puff smoke appear. The dime was shorting out the fader by acting as a conductor, bridging the electrical contacts along the rails. -maybe check if some metal debris made it's way into your fader?

wtf...skinnyguy tried to help you and entertained us at the same time. Contact Rane, get a repair code and send the unit in for service. New 57 faders need calibration when build into the mixer. BTW get some sense for irony....

I'm not sure if you received a reply to your email.

We'll be glad to service your mixer here at the factory. To send the unit in for repair you will need to be issued an RA# (return authorization number). To request an RA, please e-mail me your serial number, full name, shipping address and telephone number.

Once we receive the unit, our turnaround time is typically 2-3 days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Rane contact -->> rane.com

They're prolly still on their smoke break. Give them another 10 min to finish up their cigs and they should be good to go. Unless they're hookahing, in which case you could be out for a couple of hours.
O.B.1 4:53 PM - 28 July, 2009
