30. TotalMix Remote
TotalMix Remote is a remote control for TotalMix FX v1.50 and up, to control the hardware mix-
er and effects in RME audio interfaces. TotalMix Remote mirrors the current state of the host
system on the iPad and Windows/Mac computers - the entire mixing state, the complete routing,
all FX settings, up to the level meters, and everything in real-time. TotalMix Remote supports up
to three hosts with multiple interfaces each, allowing Apple's popular iPad and Windows/Mac
computers to adjust all the mixer and FX settings from a distance, via Ethernet and WiFi.
Supported Hardware
TotalMix Remote communicates with TotalMix FX 1.50 or up. Any RME hardware that can be
used with TotalMix FX is supported automatically.
Quick Start
On the host (the computer with the connected audio interface) go to the TotalMix FX menu
Op-
tions, Network Remote Settings . Click Enable TotalMix Remote Server to start this service. Un-
der Windows a Firewall warning will come up. Allow TotalMix FX or it won't work. This dialog
also shows the host's IP, like 192.168.1.45.
Make sure both host and remote computer /
iPad reside in the same network. Start TotalMix
Remote on the remote computer / iPad (not on
the host!). On the iPad, tap on the gear symbol
in the upper right corner, then on
Host Connec-
tion Settings . On Windows / Mac either the
dialog comes up automatically or can be called
from the
Search Connected Hosts dialog. Type
in the host's IP address (like 192.168.1.45) into
the IP field of Host Connection 1 , and make
sure it is activated. The port defaults to 7009
and usually must not be changed. In case this
port is unexpectedly occupied a warning mes-
sage will be issued. Choose a different port
then. Under Windows a Firewall warning will
come up. Allow TotalMix Remote or it won't
work.
Tap Done on top or click Ok. In the mixer view the state should change from
offline to connected
within a few seconds.
The Add button provides access to the
user-management that can be config-
ured in detail. Here users can be de-
fined, with and without a password, and
the rights can be assigned to viewing
only, changing a specific sub-mix, or
full access. For example, using Total-
Mix FX as a monitor controller for all
band
members, user-management
prevents the bassist from changing the
guitarist's monitor mix. Or the drummer
making himself too loud. Etc.
