Topic: Fireface UFX as a standalone mixer

Hi. I'm trying to use UFX as as a standalone small (four channel) mixer. Everything seems to be easy: gains, sends, mute, pan are under control...but I can't find the way to control Volume of each channel separately in sandalone mode. Using TotalMix it is very simple because there are faders on 9-11 channels, but how to do it in standalone mode?

Re: Fireface UFX as a standalone mixer

You click the Channel button and go to the output channel (e. g. Analog Out 1/2). Volume (Out) is the first setting in the list. For mixes to this bus you switch to Mix Analog/ADAT/AES In and set the volume for every input channel. This is a little bit tricky because of the many inputs to every output (=submix), but it?s possible. Or you mix in TotaMix and store up to six mix setups in the UFX. You can recall them later in stand-alone mode.

best regards
Knut

Looks like Spiker is the first poster here with an UFX - congratulations!

Yes, You are right :-) but I would be much more happy if this UFX was mine. Meanwhile I'm only testing this unit for Polish magazine "Estrada i Studio". Nevertheless UFX is great !
Admin Knut, thanks for Your advise. Now I know I couldn't find a way: channels volume controls are unavailable (LCD grey marked) untill UFX is connected to the computer. Everything works well, now.
Best regards :-)

Hello,

Don't know if this has been answered.
Reading the manual it appears the "monitor" output is 2-channel only, not selectable to six outputs for 5.1.  Is that correct?
If not, a great feature to add.
Thanks
Hugh

You just set up your 5/6/7/8 channels as fader group, where the Main Out is channel 1/2 of that group.

so, if i would put the adat outputs into that group as well (and the phones) i could adjust the volumes of all the outputs using the big knob (volume control knob) at the front of the device, right?

To get back to the first post - there is no bug, but a misunderstanding. So everything works as expected.

Hello,
Thanks MC, that works.  Does that fader group hold through power cycles and through grouping other faders?
