The field

combines different functions of routing, the level meters and the mixer view.
Routing Mode
Submix.
The Submix view (default) is the preferred view and delivers the
quickest overview, operation and understanding of TotalMix. The click on
one of the Hardware Output channels selects the respective submix, all
other outputs are darkened. At the same time all routing fields are set to
this channel. With Submix view, it is very easy to generate a submix for
any output: select the output channel, adjust the fader and pans of first
and second row
– finished.
Free.
The Free view is for advanced users. It is used to edit several sub-
mixes simultaneously, without the need to change between them. Here
one works with the routings fields of the input and playback channels only,
which then show different routing destinations.
Level Meters
Post FX.
Switches all level meters before (pre) or after (post) the effects. Level changes by
these can be easily checked using this feature. Additionally the input signal can be checked
for overloads. It is recommended to use Post FX as default setting, as the extreme reduction
of a signal by LC/EQ is very seldom. Also all OVR displays of all level meters operate both
pre and post, efficiently preventing overloads going unnoticed.
RMS.
The numerical level display in the channels displays peak or RMS.
Show
FX.
Opens the window to set up the effects Reverb and Echo.
Trim.
Activates all Trim buttons on all channels. TotalMix thus behaves like a conventional,
simple mixing desk. Each fader affects all active routings of the channel simultaneously, as
if the fader were a trim-pot in the hardware input.
2 Row.
Switches the mixer view to 2 rows. Hardware Inputs and Software Playbacks are
placed side by side. This view saves a lot of space, especially in height.
Names.
Display of the original names of channels when they had been renamed by the us-
er.
