26. TotalMix Remote

TotalMix Remote is a remote control for TotalMix FX v1.50 and up, to control the hardware

mixer and effects in RME audio interfaces. TotalMix Remote mirrors the current state of the

host system on the iPad and Windows/Mac computers - the entire mixing state, the complete

routing, all FX settings, up to the level meters, and everything in real-time. TotalMix Remote

supports up to three hosts with multiple interfaces each, allowing Apple's popular iPad and

Windows/Mac computers to adjust all the mixer and FX settings from a distance, via Ethernet

and WiFi.

Supported Hardware

TotalMix Remote communicates with TotalMix FX 1.50 or up. Any RME hardware that can be

used with TotalMix FX is supported automatically.

Quick Start

On the host (the computer with the connected audio interface) go to the TotalMix FX menu Op-

tions, Network Remote Settings. Click Enable TotalMix Remote Server to start this service.

Under Windows a Firewall warning will come up. Allow TotalMix FX or it won't work. This dialog

also shows the host's IP, like 192.168.1.45.

Make sure both host and remote computer /

iPad reside in the same network. Start

TotalMix Remote on the remote computer /

iPad (not on the host!). On the iPad, tap on

the gear symbol in the upper right corner,

then on Host Connection Settings. On

Windows / Mac either the dialog comes up

automatically or can be called from the

Search Connected Hosts dialog. Type in the

host's IP address (like 192.168.1.45) into

the IP field of Host Connection 1, and make

sure it is activated. The port defaults to

7009 and usually must not be changed. In

case this port is unexpectedly occupied a

warning message will be issued. Choose a

different port then. Under Windows a

Firewall warning will come up. Allow

TotalMix Remote or it won't work.

Tap Done on top or click Ok. In the mixer view the state should change from offline to con-

nected within a few seconds.

The Add button provides access to

the user-management that can be

configured in detail. Here users can

be defined, with and without a

password, and the rights can be

assigned to viewing only, changing

a specific sub-mix, or full access.

For example, using Total-Mix FX as

a monitor controller for all band

members, user-management

prevents the bassist from changing

the guitarist's monitor mix. Or the

drummer making himself too loud.

Etc.
