Totalmix: Routing And Monitoring - RME Audio Hammerfall HDSP 9632 User Manual

15. TotalMix: Routing and Monitoring

The Hammerfall DSP system includes a powerful digital real-time mixer. RME's unique
TotalMix technology allows for nearly unlimited mixing and routing with all inputs and playback
channels simultaneously.
Here are some typical applications for TotalMix:
setting up delay-free submixes (headphone mixes)
unlimited routing of inputs and outputs (free utilisation, patchbay function)
distributing signals to several outputs at a time
simultaneous playback of different programs over only one stereo channel
mixing of the input signal to the playback signal (complete ASIO Direct Monitoring)
integration of external devices (effects etc). in real-time
The block diagram of the TotalMix mixer of the HDSP 9632 shows that the record signal always
stays un-altered, but can be passed on as often as desired, even with different levels. The level
meter of inputs and playback channels are connected pre-fader (due to the enormous routing
capabilities). The level meters of the hardware's outputs are connected post-fader.
