MTRX Studio and Dante Virtual Soundcard

You could do this, remember though that latency is very high with DVS and you're limited to 32 channels when accessing hardware via CoreAudio.

Greetings,

We are always working on new videos and workflow discussions. For now, check out the following playlist on YouTube which has nearly 30 videos specific to MTRX. A few of them show the exact patching you mentioned.

Also, Dante Controller doesn't need to be running - it's merely used to interrogate, edit or create Dante patches.

best,


Jeff

I also wish DAD and Dante would modernise their GUI for DADman and Dante Controller.

Indeed, the latency is a show-stopper for workflows requiring re-recording. As of Pro Tools 2021.6, you now have access to the full 64x64 IO with Dante Virtual Soundcard and Pro Tools via CoreAudio.

IMHO Dante Virtual Soundcard is a waste of time for recording.

I'm a fan of the Focusrite Rednet PCIEr card for getting native audio in and out of the computer.
