18.7 Presets
TotalMix includes 8 factory presets, stored within the program. But the presets can be changed
at any time, because TotalMix stores and reads the changed presets form the files pre-
set11.mix to preset81.mix. These files are found in the hidden directory Documents and Set-
tings, <Username>, Local Settings, Application Data, RME TotalMix. The first number indicates
the current preset, the second number the current card/system.
This method offers two major advantages:
• Presets modified by the user will not be overwritten when reinstalling or updating the driver
• The factory presets remain unchanged, and can be reloaded anytime.
Mouse: The original factory presets can be reloaded by holding down the Ctrl-key and clicking
on any preset button. Alternatively the files described above can be renamed, moved to a dif-
ferent directory, or being deleted.
Keyboard: Using Ctrl and any number between 1 and 8 (not on the numeric keypad!) will load
the corresponding factory default preset (Alt loads the user presets)
The 8 factory presets offer not only a useful functionality for TotalMix, but also a pretty good
base to modify them to your personal needs.
