thanks for your answer brian. sry, for that writing on the top. i had no 
idea...

i have devices like synthies and samplers plugged in. so normal 
line-in-stuff. and even if i plug in a mic, i cant get enough input to 
let the cliping-lights work. but its just on the channels 3 - 8 like 
this. so its maybe a broken pre-amp?
