Send it to a pro. Usually happens when things warm up
though. Odd.

Is the Alesis Studio 32 one of the Alesis mixers with the carbon pot and
fader elements fabricated on the PC board? If so, it's due to one of the
deposited resistors failing and there isn't much to be done about it.

They screened pot tracks onto the pcb ?

What cheapskates ! The ultimate unrepairable mixer.

Done right it can work well - I've not seen any complaints about the
switches on the Revox B77.

Cheers.
