The dialog Preferences can be opened via the
Options menu or directly via F2.
Level Meters
 Full scale samples for OVR. Number
of consecutive samples to trigger an
over detection (1 to 10).
 Peak Hold Time. Hold time of the peak
value. Adjustable from 0.1 up to 9.9 s.
 RMS +3 dB. Shifts the RMS value by +3
dB, so that full scale level is identical for
Peak and RMS at 0 dBFS.
Mixer Views
 FX Send follows highest Submix.
Locks the FX Send knob to the channel
fader. As TotalMix supports multiple
routings per channel, a definition is
needed which fader (only one is visible)
is the one that FX Send will follow. This
is always the one with the highest fader
position, means the highest gain.
 FX Send follows Main Out. Locks the
FX Send knob to the channel fader only
for the Main Out submix. This is a typical
Live feature, where the FX Send is al-
ways tied to the fader for the most im-
portant output - the Main Out. When ad-
justing other submixes the FX send will
not follow the fader movement.
 Center Balance/Pan when changing
Mono/Stereo.
When switching a stereo
channel into two mono channels the
pan-pots are set fully left and right. This
option will set them to center instead.
 Disable mouse wheel operation. Pre-
vents unintentional changes when using
the mouse wheel.
 Disable double click fader action.
Prevents unintentional gain settings, for
example when using sensitive touch-
pads.
 Store channel open/close in Layout
Preset.
Also loads the state of the
channel panels (Settings/EQ Panel).
Dynamic Meters
 Compressor/Expander. Activates the display of the Compressor/Expander’s gain reduction
as thin blue line in the level meters of the corresponding channel.
 Include Gain setting. The currently set fixed amplification value (by the Gain knob) is in-
cluded in the display. This can lead to positive values, with the display limited to +6 dB. In
case the option Compressor/Expander is deactivated this option is also not available, there-
fore grayed out.
 Auto Level. Activates the display of the variable amplification of the Auto Leveler. As Auto
Level can both amplify and attenuate the audio signal, depending on its configuration, the
display can show negative (typical gain reduction) as well as positive (above 0 dB, amplifica-
tion) values.
