Level Meters
¾ Full scale samples for OVR. Number
of consecutive samples to trigger an
over detection (1 to 10).
¾ Peak Hold Time. Hold time of the peak
value. Adjustable from 0.1 up to 9.9 s.
¾ RMS +3 dB. Shifts the RMS value by
+3 dB, so that full scale level is identical
for Peak and RMS at 0 dBFS.
Mixer Views
¾ FX Send follows highest Submix.
Not available for the Fireface 400.
¾ Center Balance/Pan when changing
Mono/Stereo. When switching a stereo
channel into two mono channels the
pan-pots are set fully left and right. This
option will set them to center instead.
¾ Disable double click fader action.
Prevents unintentional gain settings, for
example when using sensitive touch-
pads.
Dynamic Meters
Not available for the Fireface 400.
Snapshots
¾ Do not load Main volume/balance.
The values stored in the Snapshot are
not loaded for the Main Out, so the
current setting is not changed.
Device Handling
¾ Always init DSP devices with
TotalMix FX settings. For the Fireface
400: always on. When connecting to a
computer TotalMix FX will immediately
load its settings into the unit, overwriting
the current ones in the unit.
¾ Count MADI Channels per port. Not
available for the Fireface 400.
¾ Disable ASIO Direct Monitoring. Disables ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM) for the Fireface
400 within TotalMix FX.
Graphics
¾ Use D2D (Change requires restart). Default on. Can be deactivated to use a compatible
but CPU-taxing graphics mode, in case graphics problems show up.
Store Setting for (Windows only)
¾ All Users (Restart required). See next chapter.
Special Options
¾ Lock User Interface. Default off. Can be activated to freeze the current mix state. Faders,
buttons and knobs relating to the mix state can not be moved anymore.
