Topic: Can Totalmix FX+ ARC replace my Avocet II monitoring controller
I would like to try and replace my AVOCET II monitoring controller with a combination of Totalmix FX (TMFX) and ARC.
I need to be able to simultaneously (and seamlessly) switch between two sources (DAW MIX and a reference mix on another O/P of the DAW) so I can compare my current mix against a previous version or an artist's reference mix.
Is the EXT INPUT function what I am looking for? Can it be assigned to any outputs of my RME Soundcard?
I know that ARC allows me to control Volume, DIM and MUTE as well as EXT IN. Can I also control MONO, and mute (solo) only one speaker at a time?
My current setup is 2x HDSPe MADI FX and I am using the built in AES Outputs for my AVOCET II.
I understand the above may not be possible utilising these same outputs as they are on two different cards. However, I have other AES output options available which can be addressed from a single HDSPE MADI Fx card.
