Topic: HW Mute

When i hit the Mute button on a HW input channel the signal is still present in the Phones output & Main outs.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks everyone

Re: HW Mute

Is a DAW involved where monitoring the input signal is active ?

I guess, waedi has a previous post in mind…:

Hi
The mute button in the hardware input channel doesn’t affect the signal which goes over USB to the computer / DAW, but only the direct signal which can be routed to (and monitored on) hardware outputs. If you have software monitoring activated in the DAW, the signal comes back to the 'software playback' and from there - depending on the routing within TotalMix- also to main out and headphone out.

Re: HW Mute

Thanks for your responses...Feeling relieved but stupid after solving my issue. (Been using Total Mix for a long time and love it)

I didn't realise the role of the master mute over on the far right (M S F)..hitting this Master Mute disengages the function of all the input channel Mutes
