The frequency graphics give a precise overview of the filter results. Overlapping filters influence
each other. This can be used to achieve more than 20 dB amplitude, or to generate difficult fre-
quency response optimizations.

Note: TotalMix has an internal headroom of 24 dB. Extreme boosts with overlapping filters can
therefore cause an internal overload. In any case such an overload is displayed by the Over LED
of the channel’s level meter.

Preset.

Settings of the EQ and the Low Cut

can be stored, loaded, and copied between
channels at any time. A click on Preset opens
a menu with several entries:

Recall:

Presets stored before by the user

can be selected and loaded

Save to:

There are 16 storage places

available (EQ Preset 1 to 16)

Import:

Loads a previously stored TM EQ

file (.tmeq)

Export:

Stores the current state as TM

EQ file (.tmeq)

Factory:

Includes 14 examples for the

creative use of Low Cut and Equalizer

Reset:

Resets the Low Cut and EQ to

have zero influence (Gain 0 dB)

Rename:

The EQ Presets 1 to 16 can be renamed. The changes will be shown in both lists

Recall and Save to.


Notes on the EQ Presets

Copy between channels:

The EQ Preset menu of all channels is identical. If an EQ setup is

stored via

Save to

on one of the 16 storage places, it is then also available in any other channel

via Recall.

Copy between Snapshots:

The Presets are not saved in Snapshots, therefore do not change

when a different Snapshot is loaded. Presets are saved in Workspaces and also loaded with
these.

Copy between Workspaces:

is done by the export and import function of the Preset menu.

Important and useful Presets should always be saved as TM EQ file, so that they can not get
lost even on accidental overwrite.

Factory Presets:

loaded like all Presets the settings of both Low Cut and EQ simultaneously.

The current state, On or Off, is neither saved nor activated on load. With this a preset can be
loaded anytime, but will not become active before the user decides to switch the EQ and/or LC
on

– except they had been active already before the load process. For this reason some Factory

Presets have special names. For example Telephone (LC+EQ) will sound much better when the
LC has been activated additionally to the EQ, as the LC is set to an unusual high frequency of
500 Hz here.
