Topic: Question about RME mixer Totalmix

hello.
I'm using RME HDSP mixer to mix my tracks which I'm producing in Cubase.
I was thinking how is this mixer diferent form Cubase mixer?
I mean diference lies in different summing algoritm or it mixes analog signals?

I have noticed that tracks sound diferent (i'm not sure it's better or not)...

Have you tried a null test between total mix and cubase?

No eq or plug ins, just either summing in Totalmix or Cubase. Use global record to record the results

I would imagine that they would null perfectly.

p.s. having said that now I'm keen to try that myself! :-)

Re: Question about RME mixer Totalmix

Hello.
I did a null test and it looks like totalmix somehow expands signal... After comparing it  to cubase mixer it looks like some drums in totalmix have more high end and seem little louder than in cubase. From what I understand it's probably because of 48 bit resolution on totalmix?
heres how test was done:

https://soundcloud.com/acider/result-1- … 2-cubase-3

This is a null test of RME HDSP 9632 Mixer compare to Cubase 5.1 mixer.
1 part of test it's a track mixed throung totalmix and recorder back to cubase
2 part of test it's flipped part of track mixed on cubase mixer togather with first part and recorder by cubase back to itself.
3 part of test it's second part and part of track mixed throungh cubase mixer and exported through cubase export dialog.
Resolution of everything 32bit 44100 khz. Basically flipped was only second part and first and third were not flipped.
During second part of test part 1 and part 2 gets summed and during third part part 3 and part 2 gest summed.

The only thing I dont understand why korg m1 perc organ never cancels out...

Anybody can comment on this?

Totalmix does not alter signal in any way whatsoever.
