First steps with MTRX Studio

It's tricky because Pro Tools does not know the routing patched in DADman, and indeed DADman could be running on a different machine (even one a different network to the Pro Tools computer). So implementing a robust solution is likely non-trivial.

What would be a nice interim step would be being able to enter the offsets in samples rather than ms.

It doesnt seem to do anything in Ms. No matter what I do I cant get the delay below 46 samples.

Greetings,

Let's start a fresh new thread for 2021 to discuss Delay Comp on MTRX devices. This will be a work in progress. Completely agree with Luke that sample values for hardware insert delay is a good idea.

Please give us some more detail on the exact workflow you are trying to solve. Is this a multi workstation scenario where you are printing from a source machine into a recorder? Are you using multiple MTRX devices on your rig? Are you using Pro | Mon, and what is your Digi Delay set to? Thanks.

To MTRX / MRTX Studio Users,


A detailed thread just posting to keep in the loop as a new MTRX Studio owner.

I just got this rack, and it seems like an unfinished baked cake. 1 - The meters are in consistent between Pro Tools, DADman and MTRX; so trying to make sure you are at exact levels is kind of difficult. 2 - I am shocked Avid relied on a 3rd party software to even allow this box to work at all. When you turn it on, it is dead, does nothing. You must configure it with DADman software. And finding info on configuring, troubleshooting, etc, is pretty difficult. 3 - The output meters do not even function on a basic stereo set up, so you have no clue on levels. I like the intent of this box, but for $5,000, you would think they would have a better explanation on configuration and that the unit could function without the need of the DADman for basic IO.

Greetings,

Thanks, I love cake! But seriously, we're here to help.

DADman does in fact add some extra complexity to the system, however once you wrap you head around it - the possibilities are endless.

All of the monitor profiles (including the stereo basic) should be showing metering - on the right side. The LED meters on the left toggle between light blue - analog, blue - ADAT, and Orange for Dante.

Here's a playlist that covers a lot of ground in digging into DADman and MTRX family interfaces:

I would start with this one:

Also - current Monitor Profiles for MTRX Studio can be found here:

If you want to PM me about your specific monitor / metering questions that's fine also.
