Topic: Creating Default Mixer for All Users

I work in a Windows 7 multi user environment with a Fireface UC

It would help us if we could set up a default mixer/snapshot that would be loaded for all users.

I've found the xml files in :C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\TotalMixFX
But for a new user - how are these created ?
Or where are they copied from ?

I can't find any global default in the usual "all users" areas.

Thanks

Re: Creating Default Mixer for All Users

And how do I create a suitable default so that all users will inherit it without any input by them.

I have a large number of broadly non-technical people who will use the PC and my intention is to have it set up appropriately for them.

And each will logon to Windows as a different user.

Store a workspace, as file and directly via hotkey W.

Edit: I see. Still not sure what you mean exactly. You could just copy your favorite settings (file) into all the user directories.

Re: Creating Default Mixer for All Users

My problem is managing the numbers - there are actually 6 PCs with Firefaces in them and 50-60 users who each have their own windows 7 login.
Each user won't have logged in to every computer so the profiles have not been created on every machine.
And I can't predict which PC they will use next.

So I would like a global default snapshot or workspace that I can create which will automatically be applied to every current and new user.

Is this possible ?

Sorry, I am no specialist for that. Maybe by copying a suitable default file into the All Users path will do so. But I am not even sure when Windows (and TM FX) would use that path.

Re: Creating Default Mixer for All Users

Ok, I realise that it is a bit of an obscure request.

One final question: can I load a snapshot or workspace via the Windows "command line" ?
So that I could write a batch file that loaded on login.

ie something like
d:\rme_loadworkspace_command.exe /mypreset.tmws

Thanks for your help

Basically yes. TMWS files are registered in the system, double clicking on them will start TM FX and load the file.

Re: Creating Default Mixer for All Users

That probably is the solution.
Although annoyingly the files aren't already associated - and associating them myself only works in my "user" account.
Maybe whoever installed the device didn't have all the admin rights ??


Anyway, the vagaries of corporate Windows 7 aren't your fault so thanks for the help.

Re: Creating Default Mixer for All Users

A simple batch file placed in the startup folder like this:
c:\windows\system32\TotalMixFX.exe D:TotalMix_init.tmws,

will load the workspace totalmix_init.tmws (found in the root of the D drive) on login of the PC. So far so good.  However because TotalMixFx is changing workspaces, it then throws up an error asking "discard changes". This could be alarming in a multi-user environment where most are non technical.  Is there a way of supressing the error message - say with a command line switch?  Any help would be much appreciated
