A click on the tool symbol opens the channel’s Settings panel.
Stereo. Switches the channel to mono or stereo mode.
Width. Setting the stereo width. 1.00 equals full stereo, 0.00 mono, -
1.00 swapped channels.
MS Proc. Activates M/S processing within the stereo channel. Monaural
information is sent to the left channel, stereo information to the right.
Phase L. Inverts the phase of the left channel by 180°.
Phase R. Inverts the phase of the right channel by 180°.
Note
: the functions Width, MS Proc, Phase L and Phase R affect all
routings of the respective channel.
Besides Stereo/Mono, Phase L und Phase R the settings of the
Hardware Outputs have further options:
Talkback. Activates this channel as receiver and output of the Talkback
signal. This way Talkback can be sent to any outputs, not only the
Phones in the Control Room section. Another application could be to
send a certain signal to specific outputs by the push of a button.
No Trim. Sometimes channels need to have a fixed routing and level,
which should not be changed in any case. An example is the stereo
mixdown for recording of a live show. With No Trim active, the routing to
this output channel is excluded from the Trim Gains function, therefore is
not changed unintentionally.
Loopback. Sends the output data to the driver as record data. The cor-
responding submix can be recorded then. This channel’s hardware input
sends its data only to TotalMix, no longer to the recording software.
Another difference to the input and playback channels is the Cue button instead of Solo. A click
on Cue sends the respective Hardware Output’s audio to the Main Out, or any of the Phones
outputs (option Assign / Cue to in the Control Room section). With this any hardware output can
be controlled and listened to through the monitoring output very conveniently.
