The dialog Preferences can be opened via 
the Options menu or directly via F2. 
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. 
Locks the FX Send knob to the channel 
fader. As TotalMix supports multiple 
routings per channel, a definition is 
needed which fader (only one is visible) 
is the one that FX Send will follow. This 
is always the one with the highest fader 
position, means the highest gain. 
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 
¾  Compressor/Expander. Activates the 
display of the Compressor/Expander’s 
gain reduction as thin blue line in the 
level meters of the corresponding 
channel. 
¾  Include Gain setting. The currently set 
fixed amplification value (by the Gain knob) is included in the display. This can lead to posi-
tive values, with the display limited to +6 dB. In case the option Compressor/Expander is 
deactivated this option is also not available, therefore grayed out. 
¾  Auto Level. Activates the display of the variable amplification of the Auto Leveler. As Auto 
Level can both amplify and attenuate the audio signal, depending on its configuration, the 
display can show negative (typical gain reduction) as well as positive (above 0 dB, amplifi-
cation) values. 
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. Not supported by the hardware. 
¾  Count MADI Channels per port. Channels shown in TotalMix are counted 1 to 64 three 
times. 
¾  Disable ASIO Direct Monitoring. Disables ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM) for the HDSPe 
MADI FX within TotalMix FX.
