14. TotalMix: Routing and Monitoring
The Nuendo Audiolink 96 system includes a powerful digital real-time
mixer. The unique TotalMix technology allows for nearly unlimited mix-
ing 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 Moni-
toring)
• Integration of external devices (effects etc). in real-time
• Mixdown of three ADAT inputs to one (realizing two additional inputs)
On page 67 you’ll find a block diagram of the TotalMix mixer of the
Digiset. It can help to understand the basic signal flow and routing. It
shows that the record signal always stays un-altered, but can be passed
on as often as desired, even with different levels. The level meters of in-
puts and playback channels are connected pre-fader (due to the enor-
mous routing capabilities). The level meters of the hardware’s outputs
are connected post-fader.

To call up the mixer start the program Nuendo Audiolink 96 TotalMix.
14.1 Interface Elements
The visible design of the mixer is mainly determined by the architec-
ture of the Audiolink 96 system:
• Upper row: hardware inputs. The level shown is that of the input signal, i.e.
Fader independent. Per fader and routing window, any input channel can be
routed and mixed to any hardware output (third row).
• Middle row: playback channels (playback tracks of the software). Per fader and
routing window, any playback channel can be routed and mixed to any hard-
ware output (third row).
• Lower row: hardware outputs. Because they refer to the output of a subgroup,
the level can only be attenuated here (in order to avoid overloads), routing is
not possible. This row has two additional channels, the analog outputs.
