MTRX Studio I/O Setup is Confusing
Can anyone else tell me or post a screenshot to their I/O Setup when using a MTRX Studio? I find the fact that you have two mic inputs as 1-2 and two TRS monitor outputs as 1-2 breaks up the usual way of thinking about I/O, which we've all trained ourselves to do, which is in groups of 8/16/24.
Is the move to make an I/O Setup where you ignore the hard channels numbers and just number them how you want to see them? for example: INPUTS: TB Mic 1 INST 2 LINE 1-2 LINE 3-4 LINE 5-6 LINE 7-8 LINE 9-10 LINE 11-12 LINE 13-14 LINE 15-16 DIG 1-2 DIG 3-4 DIG 5-6 DIG 7-8 DIG 9-10 DIG 11-12 DIG 13-14 Last edited by Picture Start; 12-29-2023 at 01:38 PM. |

You can map any physical channel to any place in DADman.
The digilink ins and outs seen in Pro Tools are independently configurable inside DADman to the physical actual connections. If you want the mic pres and monitor outs in a different location, you can. So you can keep your sets of 8. It is not a "fixed" set up -- it's up to the user. (also, you should have 64 channels not 32 unless for some reason you aren't using both digilink ports on your HDX card and your MTRX Studio.)

Re: MTRX Studio I/O Setup is Confusing
Indeed, the double edged sword that is MTRX + Pro Tools is -> anything is possible! So, documentation is critical.
Figure out how you want to allocate and organize patches and monitors in DADman, then in Pro Tools, create the appropriate IO Setup and save templates, PIOs and everything else that will help you avoid reinventing the wheel. best, Jeff |

Yes, I think I'm finding the patchability will allow me to make I/O look how I want. Like everything in DADMan, you have to come around to ITS way of thinking. But already possibilities are revealing themselves. |

The DAD/MTRX stuff is quite divergent from the previous decades of integrated Avid interfaces where the I/O page directly reflected the physical inputs and outputs on the digilink interfaces, but it is very flexible & powerful stuff. For DAD/MTRX stuff, I always found it helpful to compartmentalise the various I/O routing pages. - The Pro Tools I/O menu only handles the routing of the digilink ports directly on your HD native or HDX card. - DADman handles the I/O routing of all the physical inputs and outputs on your MTRX Studio, including its digilink ports. In so many way, DADman becomes the epicentre of everything happening in your studio. It handles the talkback. It handles the monitoring. It handles the routing of analogue and digital I/O. The Pro Tools I/O page becomes something much simpler, as it is just there to send digilink audio between Pro Tools and DADman.

Re: MTRX Studio I/O Setup is Confusing
I have connected both Digilink cables from MTRX Studio to HDX card = 32 hardware device I/Os. Most are outboard preamps, plus several compressors.
