Topic: Low Latency RealTime

Hello i heard from friend that there is way to hear yourself without latency
and without change the latency so hear yourself in real time and not use a lot of CPU
no i recorded without touch the faders of the inputs ( they always down) i thoght thier job its exactly that, to let me hear RealTime
but its not work

why its matter if the faders on zero or shutdown? its not volume faders

what are they rule?

Re: Low Latency RealTime

First don’t be in DAW mode. In TotalMix click on to select the output you want to monitor on and then push the slider up you want to monitor.

What is daw mode? and its help me to recored with high buffersize?

Re: Low Latency RealTime

DAW-mode is a special functionality option in Totalmix where you send audio directly from the DAW  to the hardware outputs.
What Mkok probably meant was FREE-mode.

No worry, regarding buffer and latency just let Totalmix in default state. Totalmix has no influence on the latency.

you can use any buffersize for recording, you can monitor input signals directly thru Totalmix in zero-latency.

DAW mode is another operation mode for TM FX for all the people who are lost with the concept of TotalMix FX to have the middle row (audio from pc) and the patch bay character.

With DAW mode you only have 2 rows in TM FX: HW inputs and HW outputs (no sw playbacks).
Then you need to route fully in the DAW with the typical RTL (round trip latency) which can be big when using large buffers.

The very practical thing of TM FX is, that audio from the PC is not directly played out at the HW outputs.
Instead of this you see audio from PC in the middle row as so called sw playback channels.
They carry the same name as the physical outputs, but are "not yet" the physical outputs.

It is more like a patch bay. Because now you can choose for every physical HW output (bottom row) from which audio source you want to route audio, either from the HW inputs (top row) or from the SW playbacks (middle row) which has to go over the transport between PC and recording interface which needs a bit more time depending on buffersizes in use.

If you want you can get the routing of DAW mode in Full-mode with only one mouse click:
- TM FX -> Options -> Reset Mix -> Straight playback
