[size=100]Good day,

I devised the following, which is created using Nirmcd: [[url=https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html][B]Click_Me[/B][/URL]].

Following is the script I devised:

@echo off
:: -----------------------------------------------
:: Objective: To launch TotalMixFX on log-in
:: -----------------------------------------------
:: First...wait a moment...
nircmd wait 500
:: -----------------------------------------------
:: ...next...launch TotalMixFX...
nircmd exec max C:\Windows\System32\TotalMixFX.exe
:: -----------------------------------------------
:: ...finally...exit...
exit

Notes
1. The "[size=100]nircmd wait 500" command is required so as to allow time for the [/size]auto-start TotalMixFX to complete launching.
2. TotalMixFX must be auto-started for this script to function properly
3. The "exec" command takes note that the original executable has already been subsequently launched and then the command simply makes the UI visible.
[LIST]
[*]This usage is more preferable than the use of the "start" command.

Works perfectly!

[size=100]Philip,

I figur'd so...

I am running numerous tests to ensure that I do NOT screw things up...as much as this is humanly possible, that is!

Thanks for the response, Philip...I always appreciate you and your ever-helpful knowledge!

PS: Any thoughts about my second query?

Power amps on last and off first.

Total control, nor any other software based control, has zero effect on spikes occurring when a system is powered on. That can only be handled through physical hardware. On better audio gear that is managed through output relays that don’t engage until after the power supply has stabilized.

[size=100]Good day one and all!

[size=100][size=100]I am not really too sure how to go about asking this question, but I recently [/size][/size]purchased an audio interface that, as with the ADA800/ADA8200, does not have a "master output control".

The audio interface is an ART TubeOpto 8: [[url=https://artproaudio.com/product/tubeopto-8-eight-channel-mic-preamp-with-adat/][B]Click_Me[/B][/URL]]

What I am always concerned about - [I]"paranoid" would be more appropriate here[/I], is booting the system with the subsequent end result being excessive output coming from the speakers.

I do not have the space nor the luxury of an external device, so the only "solution" is to "rely-and-trust" the RML Total Mix application for controlling such output levels.

If I do have a question, it would be this, "[I]How many of you are in a similar situation and are not at all concerned about the sole use of [/I][size=100][I]RML's Total Mix application [/I][size=100][I]for controlling output levels?[/I]"

And I guess my second question would be, "[I]Is there a way to have the [/I][size=100][I]Total Mix application be displayed 'on screen' on initial boot of the system?[/I]"
