26.6 Preferences 
The dialog Preferences can be opened via the Options menu or directly via F2. 
Level Meters 
¾  Full scale samples for OVR. Number 
of consecutive samples to trigger an 
over detection (1 to 10). 
¾  Peak Hold Time. Hold time of the peak 
value. Adjustable from 0.1 up to 9.9 s. 
¾  RMS +3 dB. Shifts the RMS value by 
+3 dB, so that full scale level is identical 
for Peak and RMS at 0 dBFS. 
Mixer Views 
¾  FX Send follows highest Submix. 
Not available for the Fireface UC. 
¾  Center Balance/Pan when changing 
Mono/Stereo. When switching a stereo 
channel into two mono channels the 
pan-pots are set fully left and right. This 
option will set them to center instead. 
¾  Disable double click fader action. 
Prevents unintentional gain settings, for 
example when using sensitive touch-
pads. 
Dynamic Meters 
Not available for the Fireface UC. 
Snapshots 
¾  Do not load Main volume/balance. 
The values stored in the Snapshot are 
not loaded for the Main Out, so the 
current setting is not changed. 
Device Handling 
¾  Always init DSP devices with 
TotalMix FX settings. For the Fireface 
UC: always on. When connecting to a 
computer TotalMix FX will immediately 
load its settings into the UC, overwriting 
the current ones in the unit. 
¾  Count MADI Channels per port. Not 
available for the Fireface UCX. 
¾  Disable ASIO Direct Monitoring. Disables ASIO Direct Monitoring (ADM) for the Fireface 
UCX within TotalMix FX. 
Graphics 
¾  Use D2D (Change requires restart). Default on. Can be deactivated to use a compatible 
but CPU-taxing graphics mode, in case graphics problems show up. 
Store Setting for (Windows only) 
¾  All Users (Restart required). See next chapter. 
Special Options 
¾  Lock User Interface. Default off. Can be activated to freeze the current mix state. Faders, 
buttons and knobs relating to the mix state can not be moved anymore.
