This section includes additional options, further improving the handling of TotalMix. The Master 
buttons for Mute and Solo have already been described, they allow for group-based working 
with these functions. 
 
In the View section the single mixer rows can be made visible or invisible. If the inputs are not 
needed for a pristine playback mix, the whole upper row falls out of the picture after a click on 
the Input button. If the hardware outputs don't interest you either, the window can thus be re-
duced to the playback channels to save space. All combinations are possible and allowed. 
 
As described earlier, Submix sets all routing windows to the same selection. Deactivating 
Submix automatically recalls the previous view. The mixer can be made smaller horizontally 
and vertically. This way TotalMix can be made substantially smaller and space-saving on the 
desktop/screen, if you have to monitor or set only a few channels or level meters. 
 
The Presets are one of the mightiest and most useful features of TotalMix. Be-
hind the eight buttons, eight files are hidden (see next chapter). These contain 
the complete mixer state. All faders and other settings follow the changing of 
preset(s) in real-time, just by a single mouse click. The Save button allows for 
storing the present settings in any preset. You can change back and forth be-
tween a signal distribution, complete input monitoring, a stereo and mono mix, 
and various submixes without any problem. 
 
Also here, RME's love for details can be seen. If any parameter is being altered 
after loading a preset (e. g. moving a fader), the preset display flashes in order 
to announce that something has been changed, still showing which state the 
present mix is based on. 
 
If no preset button is lit, another preset had been loaded via the File menu and 
Open file. Mixer settings can of course be saved the usual way, and have long 
file names. 
 
Instead of single presets a complete bank of (8) presets can be loaded at once. Advantage: The 
names defined for the preset buttons will be stored and loaded automatically. 
 
Up to three HDSP MADI and AES-32 can be used simultaneously. The Unit buttons switch 
between the cards. Holding down Ctrl while clicking on button Unit 2 or Unit 3 will open another 
TotalMix window. 
 
 

 
TotalMix includes eight factory presets, stored within the program. The user presets can be 
changed at any time, because TotalMix stores and reads the changed presets from the files 
preset11.mad to preset81.mad, located in Windows' hidden directory Documents and Set-
tings, <Username>, Local Settings, Application Data, RME TotalMix. On the Mac the location is 
in the folder User, <Username>, Library / Preferences / Hammerfall DSP. The first number indi-
cates the current preset, the second number the current unit. 
 
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 any time.
