20.5 Copy and Paste everywhere
The above three tips use functions found in the right click context menu available on all channels
of the TotalMix FX mixer view. These menus are also available in the Matrix, but only directly on
the channel labels. They are self-explanatory and automatically adjust to where the click is per-
formed. The input channels offer
Clear, Copy input and Paste the input mix . On a playback chan-
nel Copy, Paste and Clear the playback mix are available. On an output channel Copy and Mirror
functionality for the current submix is offered.
These options are very advanced and mighty tools to quickly do the impossible. Still there is no
need to fear breaking something, as a simple click (or several) on the Undo button will get you
back to where you started!
20.6 Recording a Submix - Loopback
TotalMix includes an internal loopback function, from the Hardware Outputs to the recording soft-
ware. Instead of the signal at the hardware input, the signal at the hardware output is sent to the
record software. This way, submixes can be recorded without an external loopback cable. Also
the playback from a software can be recorded by another software.
The function is activated by the
Loopback button in the Settings panel of the Hardware Outputs.
In loopback mode, the signal at the hardware input of the corresponding channel is no longer sent
to the recording software, but still passed through to TotalMix. Therefore TotalMix can be used to
route this input signal to any hardware output. Using the subgroup recording, the input can still
be recorded on a different channel.
As each of the 64 stereo hardware outputs can be routed to the record software, and none of
these hardware inputs get lost, TotalMix offers an overall flexibility and performance not rivalled
by any other solution.
The risk of feedbacks, a basic problem of loopback methods, is low, because the feedback can
not happen within the mixer, only when the audio software is switched into monitoring mode.
