20.2 The User Interface
The visual design of the TotalMix mixer is a result of its capability to route hardware inputs and
software playback channels to any hardware output. The HDSPe MADI provides up to 14 input
channels, 16 software playback channels, and 16 hardware output channels:
TotalMix can be used in the above view (View Options 2 Rows). However, the default is a verti-
cal alignment in three rows as known from an Inline desk, so that the row Software Playback
equals the Tape Return of a real mixing desk:
Top row: Hardware inputs. The level shown is that of
the input signal, i. e. fader independent. Via fader and
routing field, any input channel can be routed and mixed
to any hardware output (bottom row).
Middle row: Playback channels (playback tracks of the
audio software). Via fader and routing field, any play-
back channel can be routed and mixed to any hardware
output (third row).
Bottom row (third row): Hardware outputs. Here, the
total level of the output can be adjusted. This may be
the level of connected loudspeakers, or the necessity to
reduce the level of an overloaded submix.
Usage in mode Submix View (Default)
Click on the Hardware Output channel in the third row where the audio signal is supposed to
show up. This channel turns brighter, means it is selected as current submix. Now move the
faders up from all sources – these are the input and playback channels, in the first and second
row. That's it. The input (monitoring) and playback (DAW software) audio signals are now avail-
able at that very output, which can be verified immediately from the level meters reacting accord-
ingly.
The following chapters explain step by step all functions of the user interface.
