To change the gain (equals the use of a different fader position, see simultaneous display of
the mixer view), drag the mouse up or down, starting from the gain field. The value within
the field changes accordingly. The corresponding fader in the mixer view is moving simulta-
neously, in case the currently modified routing is visible.
On the right side is the Control Strip from the mixer window, adapted to the Matrix. The but-
ton for the temporary fader group is missing as well as all View options, as they don't make
sense here. Instead the button Mono Mode lets you decide whether all the actions per-
formed in the Matrix are valid for two channels or just one.
The Matrix not always replaces the mixer view, but it significantly enhances the routing capabili-
ties and - more important - is a brilliant way to get a fast overview of all active routings. It shows
you in a glance what's going on. And since the Matrix operates monaural if desired, it is very
easy to set up specific routings with specific gains.
23. Tips and Tricks
23.1 ASIO Direct Monitoring (Windows)
Programs that support ADM (ASIO Direct Monitoring - Samplitude, Sequoia, Cubase, Nuendo
etc.) send control commands to TotalMix. This is directly shown by TotalMix. When a fader is
moved in the ASIO host the corresponding fader in TotalMix will move too. TotalMix reflects all
ADM gain and pan changes in real-time.
But: the faders only move when the currently activated routing (the selected submix) corre-
sponds to the routing in the ASIO host. The Matrix on the other hand will show any change, as it
shows all possible routings in one view. For best ADM compatibility use mono inputs and stereo
outputs. This setup can be activated globally under Options, Reset Mix.
23.2 Copy a Submix
TotalMix allows you to copy complete submixes to other outputs. In case a complex submix is
needed with only a few changes on a different output, the whole submix can be copied to that
output. Right click with the mouse on the original submix output, means Hardware Output. In
the context menu select Copy Submix. Then right click on the new submix output, choose Paste
Submix in the context menu. Now fine tune the submix.
23.3 Doubling the Output Signal (Mirror)
If a mix should be sent out via two (or more) different hardware outputs simply mirror that mix to
any number of other outputs. A right click on the original output brings up the option to
Copy/Mirror <name>. Another right click on the new output, then selecting Mirror of Output
<name> will paste the whole submix and then synchronize it automatically to any future
changes. The outputs now always send out the same signals, but their main volume (faders)
stay fully independent.
23.4 Delete a Submix
The easiest and quickest way to delete complex routings is by selection of the according output
channel in the mixer view by a right mouse click, and selection of the menu entry Clear Submix.
As TotalMix FX includes an unlimited undo the delete process can be undone easily.
