Okay, I am sold to what Frank and you recommend.
But since these mini PC's are quite basic machines with only 2-4 MB of RAM, are any specific models that are guaranty to work with DVS and PA?
Also Flux Pure Analyzer says:
Minimum requirements
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 1.6 GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i5 or newer)
GPU: OpenGL 2.0 or superior compatible, with pixel-shader support

Are you running Pure Analyzer as stand alone?

Thanks!

I am. Pure Analyzer is running as stand alone on my 2010 MBP (i7) though I haven't investigated which of these small PC solutions are the best option. I will say that the graphics are pretty intense and it does light up the fans on my MBP when running. Not loud but I do hear them spin up. However, I feel newer processors (graphics and GPU) would handle the load a better than my 10 year old i7. I mean, Core 2 Duo fell off in 2012. If it'll still run on that then I feel most of these smaller units will probably be fine. And given the quick reply from Flux I'm sure they'd be able to confirm any questions you have about a PC relatively quickly.

Interesting thread guys!
Having a Mac mini already there as a Video Slave player, and Dante DVS in there too, I thought it's good praktice using the Mac mini as a metering option as well!

Just downloaded a trial version of Pure Analyzer. Looks good. However, it does see the Dante Virtual Soundcard, but it's impossible to select. It switches back immediately after selection.

Nugen Vislm also works standalone. This could be working with a DVS input as well. No spectrum analyser though..

Why do I need another Dante interface for metering when I already have one (MTRX Studio)? Not sure I follow your idea ;-)

Default Re: 7.1.4 hardware metering option

I'm interested in looking at this myself for Atmos metering.
Dante from MTRX Studio to DVS and then Ethernet to a second machine and DVS to the meter app.

Would the latency of going through 2 instances of DVS be noticeable?
I'm guessing it probably wouldn't for metering?
The Flux meter does look very cool, but pretty expensive once you get all the options for multichannel and loudness.

Hi Cheesehead,

Flux are currently running a deal where all the add ons are free if you buy an essential license!

Not sure how long the offer is on for.

Best,

Ayush

It's actually just one instance of DVS on the second computer. My previous mention of the signal flow as incorrect. You setup the routing directly from MTRX Studio Dante outputs via the meters option in DADman. It should've read "MTRX -> DVS on MacBook Pro". See post #2 of this thread with the link to the YouTube video showing a walk through of the configuration. You'd only need one license of DVS for the second machine. And latency isn't an issue at all.

As mentioned, there's a great deal running now promoting an update to the software with the additions of multichannel and metering options at no charge.

It's not the answer you are looking for but I am really happy with my DK PT0760 meters doing the 7.1 leg work. The room is calibrated, I know it very well and I am a "use your ears mostly anyhow". Nugen's VisLM 2 is on the master at all times, as the TC integration is invaluable.


Having typed that, I will soon be working a few days a week in a room with the RTW Dante one, but it is not me paying for that.

Default Re: 7.1.4 hardware metering option

After reading this thread, I’ve been trialling Pure Analyser running on a second machine (Mac mini 2014 which I just use as a server normally).

Very impressed so far with the displays and options and absolutely no glitches on the main Pro Tools or the mac mini doing the metering. Runs fine over the network with 5.1 metering and the Avid control app. Impressed so far, I’ll see if it stumbles while copying big multiple files over the network next.
