Bump

Thanks and i hope it is possible, because that would make the ARC a lifesaver!

Any updates in this RME People?

Hi guys
i'm also with you in that: You should have the possibillity to decide which output(s) has the TB signal.
In the Headphone busses you have it. But sometimes 4 pieces of that are not enough.

But another question on that: why does the dim function dim the headphones. Never heard of such a behaviour. In stead of that the Main (Control Room) should have the DIM. And it has not. So this bus is useless for me.

Don't know what you expect. For my main application  (classical recording)  I have to DIM the Control Room speaker to avoid feedback every time I press the talkback button. 
So as a workaround I take one of the headphone busses for the control room. But then I hear my own talkback in the speakers. What for?

Opinions?

> why does the dim function dim the headphones.

When I want to talk to the musicians that have headphones on, then it is most logical as well as useful to dim the current signal that they get on their cans except for the talkback signal, so they have no problem to understand me.

> I have to DIM the Control Room speaker to avoid feedback every time I press the talkback button.

I have no clue why there should be feedback, as talkback is not routed to the main speakers. But if you want to lower the main signal as well all you have to do is to assign a listenback channel, even if you don't use it. That simple.

OK I can see that. Maybe it is of some use. But in the moment I talk to the talent, there is no playback except the input signal from the musician playing or fiddeling around. So taht was never a problem to me.

> I have to DIM the Control Room speaker to avoid feedback every time I press the talkback button.

That is a bit more complex. In classical recording they dont use headphones but there is always a speaker only for talkback and maybe occasionally playing back previously recorded takes. When I talk to them signal goes to the talkback speaker, to the open microphones, to the control room monitors and back in the talk back mic. A perfect feedback chain unless you dim the control room speakers during tankback. Like most old desks do.

So I only ask for having the choice what busses are dimmed. The entire funktion of DIM is OK but I would like to have it also for the main bus which I cannot use in the moment. Sorry.

BTW often pro gear is more or less aimed at the jazzrockpop recording market. Sometimes there is need for special features used in classic recording environments. Please be open to that. We will be very greatful to that.

Will try the listenback routing. You say that talkback will switch dim to the main path when listenback is configured? OK. Good to hear. Didn't find that detail in the manual.

All the best

Manual chapter 27.8.1 page 71:

Listenback
Input. Selects the input channel of the Listenback signal (microphone in recording room). Default: None.
Dim. Amount of attenuation of the signals routed to the Main Out in dB.

Please don't tell me that I have to blow up the manual by describing a function in detail with a daily usage example that before you 50,000 costumers never asked for. For specific questions like this we have this forum (and it works...).

You got that answer earlier already - it is planned in version 0.99.

June - really? Ok, then our time table got screwed up heavily, sorry.

Soon. Sorry for the delay, but it is still on our list.

Exibit A for RME beeing a sustainable company. MC - you where not lieing! Found the Talkback-Feature in all outpupts with the new Total Mix Version. Great guys!

TM FX would sink into a completely unusable and confusing settings mania state if we add specialized requests like this (and many others). Please look for a workaround like mute groups or similar if you must dim channels that are not talked to.
