Re: New Mac Studios AND an AS Mac Pro!

Best advice so far, punch in your required gear and do the math!

In my case, the Mac Pro actually worked out over €1,000 cheaper than the same setup with a Mac Studio! I would save on a HDX...

Re: New Mac Studios AND an AS Mac Pro!

If it were PCIe3 then it wouldn’t have worked in any Mac Pro available at the time, which only had PCIe2 slots. The HDX was only PCIe 1.1 if I remember correctly and still didn’t use all the...

Re: New Mac Studios AND an AS Mac Pro!

Even 1 lane of PCIe4 would be massive overkill for HDX3. I can’t see where the 12GB/s came from?

A HDX card is capable of a maximum 256 voiceable channels at 48k/32bit which is 49 MB/s, so about...

Re: New Mac Studios AND an AS Mac Pro!

I’ve seen a lot of nonsense reviews bashing the new Mac Pro by ignorant YouTubers and those who should know better but apparently don’t.

They’re “ignorant” either because they simply don’t know...

Re: New Mac Studios AND an AS Mac Pro!

There’s no external GPU support, other than the GPU available on the M2 chip and so no support for PCIe graphics cards but I’m not doing any picture editing, just a bit of transcoding occasionally...

Re: New Mac Studios AND an AS Mac Pro!

I could just as easily reverse this assertion, the “Mac Studio is silly”, the Mac Pro “is the way to go”. Of course I wouldn’t say that because different people have different use case scenarios. In...

Re: Advice on setup please

1. I don’t know exactly what they mean by that either. Best I can gather is that it’s effectively genlocked at the output from PT but what happens at the input of the Renderer PT doesn’t know about...

Re: Finishing set-up: 5.1 / LFE question...

The only workaround would be to send your mic to a calibration lab to measure and create a calibration file. TBH, it probably wouldn’t be worth it, not when there are cheap alternatives that already...

Re: Advice on setup please

Ah, but now I am confused :)

Can’t you run PT with the playback engine set as HDX/Hybrid Engine and then choose the DAB as an Aux I/O for output, rather than the other way around? That way you...

Re: Advice on setup please

Thanks for the info but this is where I find it a bit confusing, as Avid also states in regard to using Aux I/O: “The Dolby Atmos® Production Suite includes the Dolby Audio Bridge, which also can...

Re: Advice on setup please

The issue isn’t latency, it variable latency. So if the Trinnov has say 24ms once you’ve set it up, then you just account for that with the video off-set and it’s always the same and in sync....

Re: Advice on setup please

Thanks for this info. I don’t suppose you know what/how much variable degrees of latency we’re talking about, just a few milliseconds or 20 or more?

Thanks, G

Re: Advice on setup please

I realise it doesn’t make much sense to you but to me it does because there are circumstances you’re not aware of.



1. Yes, I realise I’ll be wasting the SPQ features of either option if I use...

Re: Advice on setup please

They don’t have the same room tuning features though. The Trinnov has a tetrahedral measuring mic, so can automatically measure and compensate not only for tuning/EQ but position, delay, crossovers...

Thanks for the advice. I’m in an unusual situation as far as my room is concerned. It was very well built, with a double shell construction but well over 40 years ago as a mono film dubbing theatre....

Re: Finishing set-up: 5.1 / LFE question...

Bchrismar,

The room calibration “sticky” should answer all your questions, the 2nd post contains a link specifically about LFE calibration. In short, you really need a measurement mic, which can...

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your response!

I believe my Sync HD will only provide frame edge sync with the HDX/MTRX Studio (Option #1) with the playback engine set to HDX Classic or with the Hybrid...

First off, yes thanks, it does help! At least I now know that both options could work, it’s just working out which is more advantageous. Thanks for the third option but for roughly the same money,...

Advice on setup please

I’m looking to cost a system to be used for Atmos (HT, 7.1.4). Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with the Dolby Renderer, which will run on the same Mac Studio Ultra, nor with Dante, which...

Re: Catchin' SYNC iOS app now with high fps

No, as I understand it, +-8ms (roughly 1/4 of a frame) was the error margin for the iPhone 5, that figure was published on their website some time ago and hasn't been updated since this new version...

Re: Catchin' SYNC iOS app now with high fps

You state that the app has an error window of +-8ms, does running a 5S at 120fps with Catchin' Sync improve that error window and if so do you have any figures?

I'm so good at ProTools that I can finish a mix before PT can scan for an iLok.

I'm so good at ProTools I overloaded the NSA with metadata.
