26.4 Delete a Submix
The easiest and quickest way to delete complex routings is by selection of the according output
channel in the mixer view by a right mouse click, and selection of the menu entry
Clear Submix .
As TotalMix FX includes an unlimited undo the delete process can be undone without any prob-
lem.
26.5 Copy and Paste everywhere
The above three tips use functions found in the right click context menu available on all channels
of the mixer view. These menus are also available in the Matrix, but only directly on the channel
labels. They are self-explanatory and automatically adjust to where the click is performed. The
input channels offer
Clear, Copy input, Paste the input mix and Paste its FX . On a playback
channel Copy, Paste and Clear the playback mix are available. On an output channel Copy and
Mirror functionality for the current submix and copying of the FX settings is offered.
These options are very advanced and mighty tools to quickly do the impossible. Still there is no
need to fear breaking something, as a simple click (or several) on the Undo button will get you
back to where you started!
26.6 Recording a Submix - Loopback
TotalMix includes an internal loopback function, from the Hardware Outputs to the recording soft-
ware. Instead of the signal at the hardware input, the signal at the hardware output is sent to the
record software. This way, submixes can be recorded without an external loopback cable. Also
the playback from a software can be recorded by another software.
The function is activated by the
Loopback button in the Settings panel of the Hardware Outputs.
In loopback mode, the signal at the hardware input of the corresponding channel is no longer sent
to the recording software, but still passed through to TotalMix. Therefore TotalMix can be used to
route this input signal to any hardware output. Using the subgroup recording, the input can still
be recorded on a different channel.
