The signal is going through only one preamp, and by preamp I am referring to the analog bit of circuitry that takes a balanced signal and simply amplifies it up to a level that is compatible with the inputs of the AD-converter. If one thinks of a preamp that does anything else, like a free-standing "preamp" that also have filters etc., than one have a notion of a preamp that doesn't fit this scenario. The "A/D-gain" (whatever that means) is the analog gain of the signal in the preamp before the signal reaches the digital stage. After the signal is converted into digital it is possible to record it thru' the interface, and if what you are actually saying is that you want to record the signal before the gain is "corrected" by the digital part of the gain, then I both understand what you want and agree with your desire. I don't think it makes a difference wether the input is assigned to a channel or not, I haven't noticed a difference in the gain (but it's clearly easy to miss since it would never be more than 2dB unless you are far miking with an insensitive studio microphone).
