Topic: Output 3/4 comes through to Output 1/2 even though volume turned down?

I am trying to use the Phones 3/4 as CV signals for synthesizers.
I have turned down the volume faders on 3/4 in totalmix so that I should not hear them.
Yet the sounds seems to come through on Output 1/2 whatever I seem to do.

I am sure there is something in the routing of totalmix that I do not understand.

Can someone help me?

Here is a screenshot of AN 1/2

And here is PH 3/4.   Everything on PH3/4 is turned down... why do I hear the signal on AN1/2?

Sounds like the signal is also being sent to the master stereo output in your DAW.

You are right. The problem is that Bitwig is outputting the signal to mains.

lightbox's right, every single physical output (bottom row) in TotalMix has it's separate mix, that's a sum of all the hardware inputs (mics, line ins.. the top row) and all the software outputs (middle row) that you want it to be. Nothing can directly send anything to any hardware output, it all goes through the sub-mixes.

This means that even if you have a ASIO software sending it's output to "Out 1/2" it doesn't actually go directly to the physical output 1/2, it goes to the middle row of faders to the channel "1/2". Then when you've set all our signal to the software outputs you want, THEN you create a mix to your desired physical output by clicking the hardware output channel on TotalMix to choose it, and then using the faders on the middle and top row to choose what signals you want to mix into that physical output. EACH output has it's separate mix.

It's really, really powerful. You just need to understand how it works. smile
