So like the title says, I'm having an issue with just a particular draft when connecting multiple devices to any form of a mixer, be it a minimixer, kobolt, or centroid.
Having just one synth connected is fine and it plays, but right when I connect another one the sound stops immediately.

Might be a dumb question, but your mixer is firmly plugged into the master output device, right?
Yea, it is "firmly" plugged in. Everything is plugged in the right place, as far as I can tell.
Alright ... thanks for clarifying ;)
Sorry, I just saw this really was a dumb question - you already stated that a single device works.
@chordofdestruction okay so it turns out that the thing that was messing everything up was one synth and it's effects, there was a choras, crusher and a eq, so I just deleted all the effects and re-did them and plugging it back into a centroid seemed to make it work.
What a weird bug lol. But thanks for taking your time though, cheers :)
Thanks for reporting - that's the second "one-device-behaves-wrong"-issue within the recent hours/days. The other issue was about presets not being applied to the right device.
Enlighten us ...
You seem to be way too smart so I don't think I should.
But in short every component has it's dynamic range when signal is way too owerpovering which it was in OP's case with way too much of an eq abuse + crusher, the components dynamic range is breached and there starts the distortion, after distortion, quietness because portions of signal are cutt off.
That doesn't make any sense to me and I couldn't verify anything you said. Even with 4 maxed TinyGains in a row, everything runs fine (as expected).
I've actually seen certain signal chains distorting and clipping the signal to the point that they would become silent, even muting audio at normal levels. It hasn't happened to me but in drafts I've opened from others. I can't reproduce it and I also can't explain what specific state causes it, but I know it's possible.
Thanks for confirmation. I still don't understand how this can happen (without being a bug at the same time).
I would like to see such a draft. Maybe it produces a high level DC-signal - that could (in theory) produce silence when clipping but should be observable by the VU-meters on the mixer.
Edit: a computation error produces a so-called NaN-value which "poisons" all following computations. But this would be a bug. Someone recently posted a bug where resetting some controls to their default values (on curve) resulted in NaN-Values - maybe a hint.
