Mtrx talkback latch and momentary

[Markk]

Hi Folks!

Subject line speaks for itself. Are there options for different setups for talkback functionality?

[BScout]

Talkback is latch when clicked (short tap).
Talkback is momentary with clicked and held (long hold.)

Pretty standard functionality.
This is via Eucon or DAD MOM controller.

I believe (don't have it in front of me right now) but the S6 has a menu option to make the talkback "always latch" or "always momentary" in addition to the standard hybrid mode.

And you can use a foot trigger with Eucon to control talkback.
It's pretty much up to what is doing the controlling rather than the MTRX itself.
(or if you are only doing it via a mouse on DADman clicking on the "Talk" button, then it is always latch -- if that's what you mean)

I prefer to have it automated(it doesn't take long for people to remember the TB mics are hot as long as transport is stopped). But I was doing 5-6 HP mixes from the PT session(TB mics feeding AUX tracks with Sound Radix Mute-o-Matic plugin).

Thanks! Yup I have an ICON and S6's in our rooms and this all works as expected. This is for a new system where I just have the MTRX Studio + a footswitch. It *appears* to me to be the case that with a momentary switch - clicking and holding or not produce the same result - on and then it must be clicked again to go off. Any guidance on just a footswitch with MTRX would be great.

Greetings,

I just double checked this one on MTRX + MOM and MTRX Studio with an old school Tascam RC-30P switch, and it works as advertised for both. Quick tap and you latch TB. Tap again to turn it off. Press and hold the footswitch to engage - then on release the TB shuts off.


best,


Jeff

Thank you!! I’ll check first thing tomorrow back at the studio. Problem is I have some directors who will want to click quickly. Is there anyway to set it to permanent momentary?

[Markk]

This is confirmed behavior. But I still have folks who click too quick. Can this be adjusted in the dock app?

[Rich Breen]

Yeah, somewhere along the way someone decided that this should be "standard" behavior, but zero large format analog music consoles behave this way. Honestly I really wish we could turn OFF the latching behavior. Go into *any* scoring stage or large recording studio and you'll see that all talkbacks (and there's often a half dozen around the room) are momentary only - latching talkback is a disaster in those rooms and it's a huge annoyance here. I don't know anyone that I work with who actually uses the latching behavior except by accident.

[Markk]

Correct. This is the behavior all my clients are used to. bummer.

[BScout]

Agreed.
The only time I use latch is during setup when I need to talk to people on the scoring stage moving things around. But most (all?) of the scoring stages have a way to do that.
