That's good to know. Now a FF UFX is on my wish-list, as my FF400 has no DSP.

But still, a sensible default surround setup would be nice to have. I don't know how much work this is, but I still hope for it to be included one day...

I do all of this in Reaper, but having it in Totalmix would enable more applications, I think.

BTW. Youtube just enabled ambisonic audio a couple of days ago...

Apologies for the delay, the website wouldn't let me log in (from multiple computers, seems fixed now).

If I'm doing surround bass management there is no way I'm going to want to craft that together with EQ's that aren't optimised for that purpose, e.g. I want the crossovers to be aligned so there's no 'whole in the middle' or frequency asymmetry. This would effect everything you hear, it should be custom designed for this purpose as well as making it 'idiot proof'.

Totalmix does have the capacity to do all this, I really hope you guys reconsider doing a proper implementation. RME makes professional equipment; this is a feature professionals need.

Just wanted to state that before letting this thread disappear.

Thanks and enjoy your weekend.

Your suggestion requires redirecting sound from the mains to the sub channel, this then requires filtering of the low end from the satellite channels and filtering the high end from the sub channel that is being received from the satellite channels. As a result, this filtering must be correctly aligned, if the high and low filter frequencies are asymetrical in slope/shape or cutoff frequency (and I dont know if they are) then you'll indeed get a hole in the middle or frequency bump around the crossover point.

I imagine that the above probably would NOT cause an issue in Total Mix as it seems to be built for transparency rather than 'color', but again, as I stated before, without a task-specific bass management crossover system, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending all my signals through a user assembled system. It's a bit like asking people to crossfade two signals together but not guaranteeing them an equal-power crossfade curve.

If this process wasn't important then bass management systems wouldn't cost THOUSANDS of dollars. This process can be easily achieved by total mix, but I doubt many professionals are going to trust it if it's not built for purpose.

My point was that it's an important part of the signal chain and therefore people aren't going to want to cobble together something themselves... not that it can't be done or that people wouldn't trust a system built into TotalMix at all. Urgh, you obviously just dont have any interest in this and that's fine, I was just trying to have a dialog about it, no need to be curt.

And the reason it should be relevant to RME is because other companies WILL do this and you'll use customers to them. But whatever, I think we're done here.
