A big thanks to Mathias and the Totalmix developers for creating and SUPPORTING their product. It is extremely satisfying knowing that RME choose to listen to and work with the growing user group to make their products better. Every time new features are added to totalmix i feel I get to unbox my UFX all over again.
I know I will enjoy the new features. Many thanks again.:-)

Hi,

how do I install this ?
When I doubleclick on the exe, only the existing TotalmixFX Window opens.

I did that already, but after restart, it actually loaded tho old version.

First of all, THANKS for an awesome update.
You are really paving the way to something wonderful here.

One thing right off the bat.

Z does nothing on my system (OS 10.8.3) is there something i'm missing?

Could You please try "Y" instead of "Z"?

Y seems to work. It toggles between 100% and 135%.
Is this related to my keyboard layout (language)?

Hurrah!  Thanks for finally implementing this. 

I had actually thought that hitting the trim button in the respective submix to toggle exclusion might be a possible way of doing this, but this implementation seems to make more sense.  Look forward to trying it on the job ... and (one day) with the next iPad.

Hi,

thanks.

I did that already.
As I like the new version very much I wanted to use it as default...

Alex

He uses Windows 7/64 where it can be quite complicated to gain access to that directory. Maybe that is the problem here. For example you need to use the 64 bit version of Total Commander if you want to copy/move/delete files in this directory. The 32 bit version has no real access to it. Using the Windows Explorer might require to do everything as admin and also to configure the Explorer first to gain access to these dirs. Not quite sure as I normally don't use it :-)

You don't need software to get to the system32 directory in Win7 x64. I just copied in the new totalmixfx.exe over the old one yesterday. (yes, I am admin on my machine).
If for some odd reason you cant see the system32 folder (which by default you can) then there is options in the control panel/folder options to let you see system files.

Was the Reverb updated in one of the TotalMixFX updates ?
When I bought my UFX I was really dissapointed with the reverb and continued to monitor with my outboard Mixer and reverb. Today with the new beta I tried again monitoring completely itb with TotalMixFX and am blown away with the quality of the reverb and tes compressor...

a little feedback after testing with respect to multiple MIDI controllers;

The new TM works beautifully if one wants to use 4 individual MIDI controllers to control 4 separate submixes. This is one such application in totalmix.
however if one wants to combine the use of x2 units of 8 faders to control a total of x16 input faders in the one submix, the only way to do this is to 'hide' the first 8 input channels in the channel layout for MIDI controller #2 etc. This is fine but it doesn't allow for banking through excess channels as the two units are treated by totalmix as completely separate units. The result is if one switches to the playback row using MIDI controller #1 then MIDI controller #2 does not follow to the playback row it stays set to input channels row.
Ideally x2, x3 or x4 midi controllers of the same family such as Mackie control universal and its extensions would behave as they do in Pro tools and the other DAW. Which is as one unit... any thoughts?

Any thoughts on my suggestion?

I suppose the work around for this problem currently is to adjust each musician's submix in relation to the global talkback gain level.
ie: if musician #1 finds TB too loud in his cans then increase levels of all his other mix channels and then adjust headphone amp master level down accordingly. Thus, you are not constantly changing TB level across the board.

hindsight:
In the old school days of analogue recording consoles and headphone mixes, one could not individually adjust talback level. It was always a global level across all aux buses. However, now that we are all making use of different A/D converters I can perhaps see a need for individual TB level.

That might work but It's so time consuming, in addition that it seems that the level is Software locked, which I think shouldn't be a huge effort to just (unlock) it.

The reason I'm asking for this is because I think it's an essential part of the recently added Talkback feature that I believe is missing. I thought that you may have overlooked unlocking the level control with the Talkback update, which also (in my opinion) makes much sense now since we have all kinds of different impedance/levels for headphone amps/headphones or monitors. It was a Practical problem for my last session with multiple headphone mixes. I don't think that you have to add anything to the menu, if you made it that the Talkback level can normally be adjusted per output. Users who want to adjust it for all outputs at once can easily use TRIM GAIN to do that.  Doesn't that make more sense? No pressure on RME, I really appreciate your hard work, but I'd love to see the feature that I requested and waited almost a year for it to be as useful and efficient as I hoped.

Great, and new features work as described - but User Names are not visible atop strips?!  Looking fwd to full release for iPad - and to OctaMicXT augmenting UFX.

Thanks.

This is only valid for the temporary fader groups. Use one of the 4 permanent fader groups and you don't need shift at all.

Indeed, the best solution for a grouped fader is to use the fader groups (another great feature). However, my main interest is in fine adjustment of faders, which isn't, to my knowledge, accessible without using Shift - hence the suggestion for a Shift button.

Maybe a neater alternative is to teach TotalMix FX some multitouch gestures - my Tablet PC has four point multitouch. If there is any multitouch supprt, I've yet to find it.

Thanks for adding the disable asio direct monitoring option

Maybe an issue:
when PFL mode is engaged, solo buttons on an attached midi controller do not engage the PFL on the corresponding channel. They do nothing...Is this intended?

Yes there is, don't worry.

I had a chance to try out the new TM using multiple OSC remotes last weekend in a gig setting.  My band played a show in which I ran three independent monitor mixes from the stage using an iPad and our FOH engineer ran the mix entirely from an iPhone.  Both ran Touch OSC.  Everything worked great!  I did not find any technical problems at all using the new TM for this purpose.  Although what I really want is a second iPad, or an iPad mini, for the FOH as the iPhone is a bit too small to be ideal. 

One thing I noticed is that battery life on both the iPad and iPhone was very short compared to the many times I used the previous TM with a single version of Touch OSC.  This is likely due to some network issue at this particular venue and not a TM issue, but I wanted to share this in case others have noticed anything similar that may indicate a TM issue.

While everything worked well technically, I still would like to see some changes in the next version of TM:

1) the ability to directly control all outputs similar to the mastervolume OSC command.  Ideally one could control them either as stereo outputs or mono (more common for live work FOH and stage wedges)
2) more intuitive interface and/or visual feedback from the EQ and compressor in either Touch OSC or Lemur, similar to what is available in TM itself
3) I agree with the other poster who said including a "shift" button OSC command to allow fine adjustments of faders would be helpful

Even in its current form, this is an amazing update of TM.   I am looking forward to trying it using 4 OSC controllers with each musician controlling his/her own mix from stage.
