18. 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.
