Chapter 6: DADman Software
Use DADman software on an Avid-qualified computer (macOS or Windows) to configure and control one or more MTRX II and/or
Pro Tools | MTRX II Studio units over Ethernet. DADman is a channel strip–oriented, software control interface for MTRX II and
MTRX Studio units on your system’s network. It shows all connected units in the Device List from left to right. Connected units
are shown in sequence according to the unit ID number. Each unit has a colored border surrounding the functions of the unit.
The settings of a MTRX II are always stored in the unit itself as well as saved on your computer (.dms file). DADman shows the
current status of all settings on each connected MTRX II or MTRX Studio. DADman lets you save Configuration files on your
computer to backup and store all MTRX II and MTRX Studio settings and network configurations. Settings include naming, unit
preferences, and routing, but do not include Monitor Profile settings (for more information on Monitor Profiles, see Monitor Pro-
files).
DADman can be set to automatically load the last used settings on launch. If no Configuration file is loaded on launch, connections
to MTRX II and MTRX Studio units in the Device List must be reestablished after launch.
DADman can also be controlled remotely from various external sources. DADman can be connected by MIDI to Pro Tools so that
MTRX II units can emulate Pro Tools | PRE hardware. Configure the PRE settings in Pro Tools to control MTRX II pre amps from
Pro Tools software. For more information, see Controlling MTRX II Preamps from Pro Tools (Mac Only).
