The frequency graphics give a precise overview of the filter results. Overlapping filters influence
each other. This can be used to achieve more than 20 dB amplitude, or to generate difficult
frequency response optimizations.
Note: TotalMix has an internal headroom of 24 dB. Extreme boosts with overlapping filters can
therefore cause an internal overload. In any case such an overload is displayed by the Over
LED of the channel’s level meter.

Notes on the EQ Presets
Copy between channels:
The EQ Preset menu of all channels is identical. If an EQ setup is
stored via
Save to
on one of the 16 storage places, it is then also available in any other channel
via Recall.
Copy between Snapshots:
The Presets are not saved in Snapshots, therefore do not change
when a different Snapshot is loaded. Presets are saved in Workspaces and also loaded with
these.
Copy between Workspaces:
is done by the export and import function of the Preset menu.
Important and useful Presets should always be saved as TM EQ file, so that they can not get
lost even on accidental overwrite.
Factory Presets:
loaded like all Presets the settings of both Low Cut and EQ simultaneously.
The current state, On or Off, is neither saved nor activated on load. With this a preset can be
loaded anytime, but will not become active before the user decides to switch the EQ and/or LC
on – except they had been active already before the load process. For this reason some Fac-
tory Presets have special names. For example Telephone (LC+EQ) will sound much better
when the LC has been activated additionally to the EQ, as the LC is set to an unusual high fre-
quency of 500 Hz here.
