MTRX Studio questions
Greetings Guru gal and guys,
I am brand new to Dante, bear with me. Just got the brand new MTRX Studio, and I am running Pro Tools Ultimate (2020.5.0) on a Mac Pro. Communication is good when plugged in the interface via Ethernet (Dante). But Pro Tools does not "see" it, am I missing something? Also, after downloading the MTRX_Studio_Profiles, Dadman is giving me an error message that it cannot find the unit. The unit is there, but the serial number does not match. Any hints and ideas would be greatly appreciated. R

Re: MTRX Studio questions
Are you using a switch?

I would highly recommend starting with the following video which should answer many of your questions.

Re: MTRX Studio questions
Thanks for your quick responds guys (quicker than me ;-)
To furthermore the troubleshooting: - No, I am not using a switch (going from MacPro Ethernet out to MTRX Dante 1) - Thanks for the Youtube link (I listened to it many times), but it doesn't answer my questions. First it agrees with me that the different serial number affects using the presets, then nothing. Secondly, it assumes an HDX interface, which I don't have. Is the Dante Virtual Soundcard an avenue for a solution? Cheers, R

Re: MTRX Studio questions
Dont you need an HD Native or HDX card to connect this?

Re: MTRX Studio questions
Yes, the recommended way to connect a MTRX Studio interface is with an HDX or HD Native engine. In doing so, it is recommended to connect both 32-channel DigiLink ports for 64 channels and the most flexibility of bidirectional analog and digital interfacing. If expanding beyond a single HDX card, multiple sets of 64 channel IO connections can be made when adding a 2nd MTRX Studio. This can also facilitate Dolby Atmos workflows when interconnecting a Dante based renderer running DAMS.
Alternative means of connectivity include IP Audio with Dante. The best way to connect (lowest latency for example) would be with a PCIe based interface from Focusrite or Yamaha: https://pro.focusrite.com/category/a...m/rednet-pcier https://usa.yamaha.com/products/proa...8-d/index.html It is also possible to use a virtual audio driver with Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS). If using DVS, you should try and minimize the buffer setting (Dante Latency) - which spans from 4 ms -> 10 ms. https://www.audinate.com/products/so...tual-soundcard Regarding loading existing or preset monitor profiles (.dmprof files), after choosing the profile to open you will indeed get an error message if the monitor profile was created on a device with a different serial number. Simply hit Cancel, go to Settings > Monitor Profile, choose your unit from the menu (Select unit) then tick Enable monitor. Regarding networking for DADman management and IP Audio, it is highly recommended to have at least a Gigabit switch if not a router to connect MTRX Studio, workstations and any other Dante devices. Here's a knowledge base document from Audinate on best practices for networks with Dante: https://www.audinate.com/support/networks-and-switches Here's an expanding collection of Monitor Profiles for MTRX Studio: MTRX Studio Monitor Profiles Additionally, an expanding playlist of MTRX and MTRX Studio specific videos can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...QDeRgOaJw_FSI1 best, Jeff Last edited by creativecontrol; 08-16-2020 at 02:31 PM.

Re: MTRX Studio questions
Greetings folks,
good news I got it to work, downloaded Audinate's Dante Virtual Soundcard (and the controller). No HDX hardware. Thanks for your inspiring responds. R

The MTRX Studio will work without HD Native or a HDX card but you aren't getting the most out of it, or getting particularly low latency.

this may come across as a stupid question but what would be the purpose of connection both digilink ports to the mtrx studio? assuming that the adat connects are sub par to other digital connections what advantages does this provide above and beyond it being a 16x16 io box? also I'm assuming that the lowest latency is thru digi link. does this box report delay compensation figures accurately during tracking? can this be done via pcie dante card as well? what are the latency figures lets say at 48k of mtrx studio vs omni /hd oi using digilink? what is latency of mtrx studio using pcie card? thanks, ej |
