Personally, i think the color's do not translate well with the different options of the 'Light' mode.
Comparing the different settings looks like this:

Light-Normal

Light-Dark

Light-High-Contrast.

Light-Normal = pastel color's
Light-Dark = would be fine as 'light' setting
Light-High-Contrast = pastel color's with less saturation

Is it just me, or is not saturated enough?
Instead of different settings which might not work for everyone, two sliders for SATURATION and BRIGHTNESS would do the job from my point of view.
+ a color palette for defining e.g. 16 user color's
++ setting to colorise the channelstrip background or not (would result in channel header and text color only)
+++ setting for the meter color. (But the green is ledendary and worked fine for 25 years..)

But that might be really too late for a release.candidate...

Hi,
TM-RC1 and DigiCheck running fine here so far.

Only little Glitch i could found is this:

The 'High Cont' string wraps to:
High
Cont
;-) i guess a few pixels are missing...

Thanks a lot for this nice update!

We love the mic icon at the top of input channels, showing gain and +48V at a glance. Out first instinct was to click on it to adjust the auxiliary device settings.

How about making it clickable to open and close the settings just like the settings icon?

I created an example with some changes in channels UI for better readability to eliminate the «grey spot visibility», if you don't mind!

Hello.

Currently, the low-cut filters in TotalMix2 are hardly useful, for they have a very high bottom cutoff limit at 20Hz, which creates massive overshooting regardless of the filter order, hence causing clipping if the digital levels are close to unity dBFS.

Please lower the minimum cutoff to 1Hz so that it can be used as a gentle DC-blocker.

If quantisation noise in float-precision is an issue with higher-order HP filters due to a biquad-based implementation, I'd suggest using topology-reserving filters such as the ones in Zavalishin's book.

Best,
Dario

Hmm ?
Doesn't look like

Also the color no longer is on the channel field, only the channel name is in color ?

Please compare to post 192

Is this feature cancelled ? Did I miss something ?

I can confirm that with Babyface Pro fs.

Thank you for working out this good PDF !
I have to agree, you are right.
I did reproduce this with Babyface Pro offline device.
It needs to ON/OFF the submix mixer layout to bring it into correct order.
I think this is a bug, in Totalmix, not only your interface Madiface Xt ll

Let RME check this out. May be we have wrong expectations...?

Edit : Did check with TM 1.99 same behavior

The snapshot does not memorize the selected output, it saves the mix for all outputs regardless which output is active.

Yes, snapshots store a complete mix and not the selected output channel.

In our test, the source channels shown do not change when a snapshot is activated without changing the selected output channel or leaving submix layout mode, even when the activated mix changes which source channels are present in the selected output channel.

The problem is easily reproduced, as illustrated in http://littlemountainmusic.org/download … submix.pdf
