15.8 Monitor

The Monitor section of the Quick Access Panel is only valid for our Windows MME driver, i.e.
when using programs like WaveLab, Soundforge, Sonar or Samplitude.
Monitor offers two advanced automated monitoring solutions. Monitoring will be controlled
either by special
(Samplitude/Sequoia/SAWStudio, mode ZLM), or by the recording state itself (mode
Mix/Replace).
The basic method used is as simple as it is clever: ZLM and record are controlling the Mute
buttons of the corresponding channels. For this to work, Mute must be activated on the
record's Input channel. The fader must not be set to m.a..
A click on Load Def. will load a template (factory preset 4), which
can be used to verify and test this functionality. But it is also possible
to use any other mixer state, as long as the recording channels are
muted manually.
As soon as a recording starts, the corresponding channels will be
unmuted, i.e. the input signal will be processed according to the
current mixer settings. TotalMix lets you check the whole process
visually, as the Mute buttons in TotalMix will be switched on and off
automatically.
In Mix mode the input signal will be mixed on the outputs when
record is active. In Replace mode the Mute button of the
corresponding playback channel will be activated, so that the input
signal replaces the playback signal.
ZLM is a special function for tape machine style monitoring when
doing punch-ins and outs. For this to work the option 'Hardware
monitoring during punch' has to be activated in Samplitude/Sequoia.
Then at each punch-in the corresponding Mute buttons will be
deactivated, at punch-out they will be re-activated.
All settings can be changed and configured in real-time.

15.9 Menu Options

Always on Top: When active (checked) the window of TotalMix will always be on top of the
Windows desktop.
Note: This function may result in problems with windows containing help text, as the TotalMix
window will even be on top of those windows, so the help text isn't readable.
Deactivate Screensaver: When active (checked) any activated Windows screensaver will be
disabled temporarily.
Ignore Position: When active, the windows size and position stored in a file or prest will not be
used. The routing will be activated, but the window will not change
ASIO Direct Monitoring: When de-activated any ADM commands will be ignored by TotalMix.
In other words, ASIO Direct Monitoring is globally de-activated.
