DADmom question
I have PT Ultimate Native with a MTRX + DADmom. Recently a problem cropped up with my monitoring using the DADmom.
In the DADmom setup I have ProTools Main Out mapped to Source A, and Mac Audio Out via Dante Virtual Soundcard mapped to Source B. I usually set this setup to SUM rather than SWITCH so I can listen to Pro Tools and Mac audio at the same time (e.g., listening to QT mov files while auditioning audio via PT). A new issue has appeared however. If I have both Source A and Source B buttons lit to hear both SUM sources, and listening to Apple Music on the Mac, if I deselect PT Source A, the volume drops by about 6 db on Apple Music. Same as if I'm listening to Pro Tools Source A and deselect Mac Audio Source B, the Pro Tools level drops by about 6 db. This only happens about 50% of the time, and in fact while writing this the problem has temporarily disappeared. I'd like to solve this because it affects my meter levels in Pro Tools. For that reason I set the DADmom to SWITCH as often as I can, but I'd prefer to leave it in SUM. Pic of my DADmom setup attached. Any advice appreciated...thanks.

Re: DADmom question
Greetings,
Are you engaging any fold downs ever? Are you driving DADman from just the software or also EUCON with or without MOM? The monitor section of MTRX / DADman should have absolutely no bearing on the metering in Pro Tools. Pro Tools is simply a source input via DigiLink into the summing of additional sources contained within your primary Monitor in the DADman monitor profile. Are you then using a meter output perhaps to send -> back into Pro Tools with an AAX metering plug-in? Let us know a few versions if you don't mind: DADman MTRX Firmware mainboard cpufw DVS & Dante Controller macOS Version Any other relevant details. Thanks! Jeff |

Re: DADmom question
Thanks Jeff-
I'm not using EUCON; just a DADmom configured through its software. I see there is a newer version of the DADman software and MTRX firmware. Here is the version I'm currently on: MTRX. cpufw: 2.3.1.3, matrix 1.1.23.2, recovery 1.2.1.1 DADman ver. 5.4.2.1 (5.4.2 build 1) Dante Controller ver. 4.2.3 (4.2.3.1) Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 I have a single FOLD DOWN to Mono. I am not using a meter output back into Pro Tools with an AAX metering plug-in. I may be describing the signal flow incorrectly, but I do hear these volume drops when 2 Sources are engaged on the DADmom. Looks like I should update everything first to see if the problem goes away... Thanks--

Re: DADmom question
Good plan. It is also recommended to click "Remove Unused Groups" from the Monitor Profile window - if you've never done this in the process of building or revising your primary monitor profile.

Re: DADmom question
I see the DAD site has version 5.4.5 while Avid's version is 5.4.4.
Is it advisable to go with Avid's older version, or okay to use DAD's?
