The dialog Preferences can be opened via the
Options
menu or directly via F2.
Level Meters
¾
Full scale samples for OVR.
Number
of consecutive samples to trigger an
over detection (1 to 10).
¾
Peak Hold Time.
Hold time of the
peak value. Adjustable from 0.1 up to
9.9 s.
¾
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
¾
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.
¾
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 always tied to the fader for the
most important output - the Main Out.
When adjusting other submixes the FX
send will not follow the fader
movement.
¾
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.
¾
Disable double click fader action.
Prevents unintentional gain settings,
for example when using sensitive
touchpads.
Dynamic Meters
¾
Compressor/Expander.
Activates the display of the Compressor/Expander’s gain reduc-
tion as thin blue line in the level meters of the corresponding channel.
¾
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.
¾
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, amplifi-
cation) values.
