Depending on the size of the monitor and the current reso-
lution TotalMix FX might be much too small and the controls too tiny to easily operate them.
Together with the 2 Row mode these options give a lot of different window sizes that suit all
monitors and resolutions currently existing.

22. The Matrix
22.1 Overview
The mixer window of TotalMix looks and operates similar to mixing desks, as it is based on a
conventional stereo design. The matrix display presents a different method of assigning and
routing channels, based on a single channel or monaural design. The matrix view of the Baby-
face Pro has the look and works like a conventional patchbay, adding functionality way beyond
comparable hardware and software solutions. While most patchbays will allow you to connect
inputs to outputs with just the original level (1:1, or 0 dB, as known from mechanical patchbays),
TotalMix allows you to use a freely definable gain value per crosspoint.
Matrix and TotalMix are different ways of displaying the same processes. Because of this both
views are always fully synchronized. Each change in one view is immediately reflected in the
other view as well.
22.2 Elements of the Matrix View
The visual design of the TotalMix Matrix is mainly determined by the architecture of the Baby-
face Pro system:

To maintain overview when the window size has been reduced, the labels are floating. They
won't leave the visible area when scrolling.
A right mouse click on the labels brings up the context menu with the exact same options as in
the mixer view: Copy / Mirror / Paste /Clear input channels, submixes and FX settings.
