Not a big deal, but it's nice to be able to hone in on a fader level without having to type it in...Otherwise it looks great!!

as I use my UFX+ home in production studio, I've chosen to change the behaviour of the ARC USB "Talkback" switch to "Toggle Totalmix Windows". And it works great, except one tiny detail - can we ask to bring the window to the front when it is showing? At the moment the Totalmix window shows somewhere below all the currently opened windows.

I hope all of us agree that it should behave like that

Thanks.

Once you flip it on, every REAPER track that has input monitoring active drives the matching TotalMix input fader live. Move your REAPER fader, the TotalMix routing follows. Pan, width, even stereo-pan — all mirrored. Headphone mixes work the same way: any track send that ends up routed to a hardware output (your Phones 1, Phones 2, etc.) opens its own routing in the TotalMix matrix, with the right level applied. So your cue mix in REAPER is the cue mix on the headphones, no manual TotalMix fiddling.

Five extra REAPER actions handle the per-channel hardware controls: gain ±1 dB, 48V phantom, pad, phase invert. They work on however many tracks you have selected at once. The pad action briefly mutes the channel around the switch so the relay click is hidden. Output volumes in TotalMix are deliberately *not* touched.

While the mirror is on, REAPER's own software monitor for those tracks is silenced automatically. One toggle and you're back to whatever you had before.

Tested: UFX+ on macOS arm64 with TotalMix FX 2.1 Alpha 4. Should work on Windows and other RME devices that support Global OSC. Free, MIT-licensed.

Download: https://github.com/acklin83/totalreaper/releases

Install:

- macOS (Apple Silicon): drop `reaper_totalreaper-arm64.dylib` into `~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/UserPlugins/`. Restart REAPER.
- Windows: drop `reaper_totalreaper.dll` into `%APPDATA%\REAPER\UserPlugins\`. Restart REAPER.

TotalMix setup: Settings → OSC → Compatibility Mode → **Global OSC**. In the OSC details, set **Receive Port to 7001** and the **Send target to 127.0.0.1:7002**. TotalReaper uses these ports (hardcoded for now).

In REAPER: Action List, search "TotalReaper", run "Toggle Routing Mirror". That's it. Bind the gain/48V/pad/phase actions to keyboard shortcuts if you want quick access.

Big thanks to RME for shipping Global OSC!

Best,

First things first: love the new TotalMix look & feel, though there is probably nothing more personal than that. Can't wait to have the TotalMix remote apps on iPad en OSx look the same.

My issue at hand is that I prepared a workspace on an offline device (chose UFX3) that I can't seem to load properly into my actual UFX3.
1. The first situation is that the TotalMix window just jumps back to the offline device in stead of loading it onto the physical one.
2. To work around this I edited the device name in the workspace file. After that it will load, but lots of stuf is not loaded like channel names or layout and color settings.

Is there something I missed or misunderstood, is there a workaround or is it something to be fixed?
Thanks,
Erik

I just installed TMFX 2.01 on my Mac Studio and whatever I try to do, the Control Strip section of the TMFX window is really tiny, impossible to see or operate. All the rest of the sections scale properly when I enlarge the window, but the control strip just stays tiny.
I have 3 monitors on this Mac, two are 2k and one is 5 k, but the same behaviour applies to all of them.
Can anyone advise?

I'll post a link to a screenshot below.

Thank you

I have a BBF Pro FS and use a third party ADAT expander. Right now my workflow consists of having 2 snapshots that I load via the A and B buttons to switch between 5.1 and stereo. Both snapshots are setup with the main out being PH3/4 (Headphones) and speaker B being the AN 1/2 output (currently nothing attached, but in future will be used for a dedicated stereo speaker pair), toggled via BBF output button. A fader group is active in both snapshots, linking the main out (PH3/4 and AN 1/2) and the ADAT 1-6 faders.

The difference between the snapshots is that in the 5.1 snapshot all software playback channels going into the main out are at -inf and each ADAT submix receives audio at an equally set dBFS level from the relevant software playback channel. In the stereo snapshot it is the other way around and all software playback channels send -inf to the ADAT outputs while the main out basically receives a normal stereo via playback channels 1/2 and a 5.1 folddown with ADAT 1-6 panned as required.

The only thing I am missing for this to be an entirely workable surround setup is a way to solo surround channels. Most of the time I don't need to solo individual speakers and can live with soloing L+R, LS+RS, C, LFE and combinations thereof. I have tested this idea by setting the four solo groups to solo the respective software playback channels as described and came to the conclusion that within a single snapshot that could work nicely if I had an ARC with physical buttons to control the solos.

The only problem is, that I regularly switch between the 5.1 setup and stereo and that the soloed channels unsolo themselves when I switch snapshot (or more precisely switch to the state they were in when saving the snapshot).

I just found out about the release of TM2 and got excited about the feature for loading groups/snapshots independently. However after trying out TM2 I realized that it is not about decoupling the on/off state of existing groups from snapshots but about loading entirely different configurations of groups. So this doesn't solve my issue.

So I am wondering if an option to maintain the on/off state of existing groups across snapshots is maybe a feature that you (RME) could add to TM2, or if there is a wiser way to achieve what I want with my existing gear (and potentially an ARC USB) without shelling out big bucks and needing physical space for an actual surround monitor controller?

Thanks
John

The softsynths are in the DAW and are not connected to ADAT inputs or outputs in any way that I know of.

Everything works great, it's just a question about how the Channel Layout Playback softsynths are labeled. 

Thanks,

I have an RME Fireface UFX III connected to a Mac M4. My speakers are connected to the Main Out (XLR), and I have a microphone connected to the Mic 9 input with phantom power (+48V).

I use macOS Dictation for speech-to-text. I want to be able to use dictation while the speakers are active, without feedback, via a TotalMix snapshot.

Can't find I solution.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks.

I’ve attached a video showing the issue (available for 24 hours).

- HDR mode enabled (text readability becomes noticeably worse due to a lack of contrast.)

Kind regards.
