Main Monitor
Dim: Amount of attenuation of the Monitor Main output in dB. Activated by the Dim button in the
Monitor panel.
Stereo Pan Law
The Pan Law can be set to -6 dB, -4.5 dB, -3 dB and 0 dB. The value chosen defines the level
attenuation in pan center position. This setting is useful because the ASIO host often supports
different pan laws too. Selecting the same value here and in the ASIO host, ASIO Direct Moni-
toring works perfectly, as both ASIO host and TotalMix use the same pan law. Of course, when
not using ADM it can be changed to a setting different from the factory preset of –6 dB as well.
You will most probably find that -3 dB gives a much more stable loudness when moving an ob-
ject between left and right.
31.11 Editing the Names
The channel names shown in the white label area can be
edited. A right mouse click on the white name field brings up
the dialog box
Enter Name . Any name can be entered in this
dialog. Enter/Return closes the dialog box, the white label
now shows the first letters of the new name. ESC cancels
the process and closes the dialog box.
Moving the mouse above the label brings
up a tool tip with the complete name.
The hardware outputs (third row) can be edited in the same
way. In this case, the names in the routing drop down menus
will change automatically. Additionally the names in the drop
down menus of the Monitor section will change as well.
The preset buttons can get meaningful
names in the same way. Move the mouse
above a preset button, a right mouse click
will bring up the dialog box. Note that the
name shows up as tool tip only, as soon as
the mouse stays above the preset button.
The preset button names are not stored in the preset files, but globally in the registry, so won't
change when loading any file or saving any state as preset. But loading a preset bank (see
chapter 31.8) the names will be updated.
