21.3.1 Settings

A click on the tool symbol opens the channel's Settings panel with
differing elements.
Stereo. Switches the channel to mono or stereo mode.
Width. Setting the stereo width. 1.00 equals full stereo, 0.00 mono, -1.00
swapped channels.
MS Proc. Activates M/S processing within the stereo channel. Monaural
information is sent to the left channel, stereo information to the right.
Phase L. Inverts the phase of the left channel by 180°.
Phase R. Inverts the phase of the right channel by 180°.
Note: the functions Width, MS Proc, Phase L and Phase R affect all
routings of the respective channel.
Besides Stereo/Mono, Phase L und Phase R the settings of the Hardware Outputs have three
more options:
Talkback. Activates this channel as receiver and output of the Talkback signal. This way Talk-
back can be sent to any outputs, not only the Phones in the Control Room section. Another
application could be to send a certain signal to specific outputs by the push of a button.
No Trim. Sometimes channels need to have a fixed routing and level,
which should not be changed in any case. An example is the stereo
mixdown for recording of a live show. With No Trim active, the routing to
this output channel is excluded from the Trim Gains function, therefore is
not changed unintentionally.
Loopback. Sends the output data to the driver as record data. The cor-
responding submix can be recorded then. This channel's hardware input
sends its data only to TotalMix, no longer to the recording software.
Another difference to the input and playback channels is the Cue button
instead of Solo. A click on Cue sends the respective Hardware Output's
audio to the Main Out. With this any hardware output can be controlled
and listened to through the monitoring output very conveniently. Using
the option Assign / Cue to in the Control Room section, Cue can also be
used with any of the Phones outputs.
