15. TotalMix: Routing and Monitoring
The Hammerfall DSP system includes a powerful digital real-time mixer. RME’s unique
TotalMix technology allows for nearly unlimited mixing and routing with all inputs and playback
channels simultaneously. Here are some typical applications for TotalMix:
•
setting up delay-free submixes (headphone mixes)
•
unlimited routing of inputs and outputs (free utilisation, patchbay function)
•
distributing signals to several outputs at a time
•
simultaneous playback of different programs over only one stereo channel
•
mixing of the input signal to the playback signal (complete ASIO Direct Monitoring)
•
integration of external devices (effects etc). in real-time
The block diagram of the TotalMix mixer of the RPM shows that the record signal always stays
un-altered, but can be passed on as often as desired, even with different levels. The level
meter of inputs and playback channels are connected pre-fader (due to the enormous routing
capabilities). The level meters of the hardware’s outputs are connected post-fader.
