S/PDIF is missing for some reason, and I feel like there’s a bit of unused space left above the digilink ports. That’s about as much connectivity AVID could fit in 1U. From left to right, we get a footswitch input, Word Clock in/out, Loop Sync in/out, Dante RJ45 primary/secondary, a pair of DigiLink Mini ports for interfacing with HDX cards, 16 channels of ADAT I/O, stereo monitor outputs, 16 line outs on DB25, two mic inputs on XLR, and 16 line inputs on DB25. Instead of a menu system, you rely on the buttons and visual feedback as your guide. There’s 16 channels of LED metering available on the front panel, along with nine buttons, rotary controller, two instrument inputs and two headphone outs. MTRX Studio interfaceĪVID is condensing its MTRX behemoth of an audio interface/installation piece down to a 1U rackmount unit with tons of I/O. AVID definitely spent time figuring this feature out for its user base, so good job there.
Opening 2020 projects in earlier Pro Tools versions, basic folders are expanded into separate tracks (nesting is flattened), and Routing Folders become AUX tracks. There’s also a Track Presets feature to let you save and import entire folders and their settings, arrangements and whatnot as track presets. Selected tracks can be automatically routed when moved into a new Routing Folder, which sounds like a big time and confusion saver.
Additionally, audio can be routed through Routing Folders (think bus) with inserts, sends, and automation. Folders can be easily dragged and dropped, color-coded, and edited – with changes reflected on all of the folder’s content. The newest Pro Tools lets you organize tracks into visual folders with up to 8 layers. AVID is taking Pro Tools 2020 for a spin at NAMM, demonstrating its macOS Catalina compabitility and a big user-requested feature – Folder Tracks.
