18.2 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 Digiface Ravenna provides 128 input
channels, 128 software playback channels, and 130 hardware output channels:
TotalMix can be used in the above view (View Options
2 Rows ). However, the default is a vertical
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
field, 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 field, any playback
channel can be routed and mixed to any hardware output
(third row).

Bottom row (third row): Hardware outputs. Here, the total
level of the output can be adjusted. This may be the level
of connected loudspeakers, or the necessity to reduce
the level of an overloaded submix.
Usage in mode Submix View (Default)
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.
