Using a USB connected sound board
Our high school broadcast team is using Wirecast 15.1 to live stream sporting events. We have cameras connected to a Decklink Duo video card via SDI connections and our commentators' mics connected to a sound board which is connected to the computer through usb. We recently noticed that changing the Main volume level on the sound board had no affect on the audio levels in Wirecast. We can adjust the volume of individual channels on the sound board just not the master level. Is this due to a setting in Wirecast? Also, are there any suggestions about how to mix the sound board audio with the camera audio (sideline and crowd noise) in Wirecast? Or good resources/tutorials that we could reference?

You can put all audio sources in a single shot or you can have them in separate Main Layer Shots and layer them.
