I hope this article will help anyone looking at the Pro Tools MTRX that its modular form factor makes it a versatile and flexible Pro Tools HD interface, audio matrix and monitor controller especially with the new SPQ card. PTE: Thank you Iwan for taking the time to answer our questions about how and why we went for a Pro Tools MTRX. Iwan: Yes, we use S6 to control the monitor section.

PTE: Using the Monitor Controller part of the MTRX, do you use the S6 to control the the MTRX monitor control functionality or something else like the free Pro Tools Control app be used to control the MTRX monitor control section? We have our set configuration which works for our usual workflow. Iwan: We don’t usually need to make changes to the setup on a job to job basis.

DCOMMAND XMON 5.1 OUTPURS SOFTWARE

PTE: Do you find yourself going into the software and changing things from job to job or do you have a pretty static configuration that covers your usual workflows? We can do all the setup and routing on DADman and save it as a DADman setup file. Iwan: We use DADman software to configure the MTRX. But we tend to do everything from the DADman software as our MTRX is held in a rack room next to the Audio Suite. Iwan: A few things like Sample Rate conversion and Sync Source can be changed from the front panel. PTE: What can be done from the front panel on the MTRX? It was important for us to separate the interfaces PTE: Do you use one MTRX with 2 Pro Tools systems? It has all the options to set up for monitoring, talkback, cues and fold down as per our needs and we can save it as a monitor profile in DADman. The ProMon that is included is a very flexible monitoring solution that integrates well with the S6. Iwan: We use MTRX for our monitor control with S6. PTE: Do you use the MTRX for Monitor Control? If so how? Apart from these, we have wired up a few Dante network ports in our control rooms and the voice booth so we could plug up any Dante supported hardware and easily integrate it into the system. We also use a Yamaha Tio 1608-D interface for our talkback and headphone cues over Dante.

We can use the Dante network to connect a PC with Dante Virtual Soundcard to the MRTX and record remote voice overs using IPDTL. We can easily route audio between devices. Iwan: Dante gives us a lot of flexibility. PTE: The MTRX has a lot of Dante support how are you using the Dante and Audio Over IP features of the Avid MTRX? Iwan: No, we currently do not have a Dolby Atmos workflow over here, but it certainly prepares us for Atmos integration as and when we need it. Do you plan to, or are you already using the MTRX to fit into the Dolby Atmos workflow and monitoring? PTE: It seems that the MTRX is becoming a popular choice for users working in Dolby Atmos. Also it has much more capabilities than the XMON. ProMon has also been very useful as we could eliminate the need of having an extra interface in the rack. For example, we could use the Dante connection between a PC and the MTRX to record a remote voice using IPDTL.īeing fully modular, we were able to choose the I/O that we require and customise it just according to our needs. It allows us to easily route audio between devices. Iwan: The main feature is the Dante capability. PTE: What does MTRX offer that HD IO and XMON didn’t and how does that help your workflow? It comes with ProMon included, which gives us a fully featured monitor control from the S6 and the MTRX has extensive routing capabilities using DADMAN software.

Iwan: The MTRX can be fully customised according to our I/O requirements and allows for a Dante I/O option which has been very useful for us. PTE: For you what is difference about using the MTRX compared the HD IO or HD Omni interfaces?
