Re: MTRX hookup question, Dante vs Digilink
Quote:
However clocking in-built digital audio becomes an issue and so system sounds becomes the master (though the MTRX has a clever "adapt to" function so it can still run on its internal clock but reference an input for what clock it should be at.) The bigger problem is applications like RX7 which will go by the sample rate of the file it is playing and will do the different pitch thing for a few seconds before it switches to the correct sample rate of the digital output (so it starts to actively sample rate convert.) And this will happen every single time the transport goes into play (it's fairly annoying) and makes shuttling around near impossible while cleaning up a file.

Re: MTRX hookup question, Dante vs Digilink
I should also add that Pro Tools does not like if the MTRX sample rate clock changes while a Pro Tools session is open. If you do it, Pro Tools will complain that the audio hardware has changed (it reads the sample rate changing as the whole physical hardware interface changing) and will ask to shutdown which you have to do and then reopen Pro Tools. I have been stung by this more than once when I allowed "adapt to" to be set to something other than one of the digilink/Pro Tools inputs. Now I leave it with Pro Tools always in charge of the MTRX clock.
(You can, though, open different sample rate sessions as a session isn't open when the change happens) If you work at one sample rate almost all the time, a lot of these idiosyncrasies will never show up.

Re: MTRX hookup question, Dante vs Digilink
Thanks, I didn't know how the iTunes engine works. Most of the time all I'll need to do is play iTunes and Quicktime movies, and Safari audio. There also may be times when I'll want to use something like Ircam Lab Timestretch. I only work at 48K, so I hope I can find a way where this is all manageable. With Apogee hardware, it's been a non-issue.

Re: MTRX hookup question, Dante vs Digilink
Thanks, how do you set the Mac as the slave (in DVS?).

Re: MTRX hookup question, Dante vs Digilink
It’s not in DVS, but once DVS is running, you can set up master and slave options in the Dante Controller software. The controller software doesn’t have to be running all the time. You use it to change settings and routing, then each Dante device remembers their settings after you close the software.
