21.2 The User Interface
The visual design of the TotalMix mixer is a result of its capability to route hardware inputs and
software playback channels to any hardware output. The Babyface Pro has 12 input channels,
12 software playback channels, and 12 hardware output channels:
TotalMix can be used in the above view (View Options
2 Rows
). However, the default is a verti-
cal alignment in three rows as known from an Inline desk, so that the row
Software Playback
equals the
Tape Return
of a real mixing desk:
•
Top row: Hardware inputs. The level shown is that of
the input signal, i.e. fader independent. Via fader and
routing menu, any input channel can be routed and
mixed to any hardware output (bottom row).
•
Middle row: Playback channels (playback tracks of the
audio software). Via fader and routing menu, any
playback channel can be routed and mixed to any
hardware output (bottom row).
•
Bottom row: Hardware outputs. Here, the total level of
the output can be adjusted. This may be the level of
connected loudspeakers, or the level of any submix.
Usage in mode Submix View (Default)
Using TotalMix FX is really easy. Thanks to the Submix View (default) all you have to do is click
on the Hardware Output channel in the third row where the audio signal is supposed to show
up. This channel turns brighter, means it is selected as current submix. Now move the faders up
from all sources – these are the input and playback channels, in the first and second row. That’s
it. The input (monitoring) and playback (DAW software) audio signals are now available at that
very output, which can be verified immediately from the level meters reacting accordingly.
The following chapters explain step by step all functions of the user interface.
