Given the increasing production demands placed on us as professionals, along with immersive surround formats, the XMON is definitely showing its age. Now don’t get me wrong, unlike many I have no major issues with XMON, it is just that it is somewhat limited in functionality even as a basic monitoring controller. When purchasing the S6 a couple of years ago I, like many, was somewhat disappointed to learn that the monitoring controller solution of the time was the XMON, repurposed from the ICON system that went before. It is from this angle, as a studio owner and end user, that I am approaching this article. Here I carry out a large proportion of my work mixing both Music, and Film and Television productions. However, I am also a studio owner with a commercial grade private studio based around a Pro Tools|HDX2 system with a Pro Tools|S6. As a freelance contractor for Avid, I deliver certified training courses to instructors and end users for the Avid Learning Partner program, as well as writing elements of their official curriculum and delivering Professional Services consultancy. One of my major clients over the past 10 years has been Avid, a relationship that has grown through my professional use of Pro Tools and Avid solutions. I am a freelance Audio Engineer of over 20 years professional experience, initially primarily in music, graduating from analogue tape to the digital technology of the time and to Pro Tools when very much in its infancy, increasingly over the course of my career applying my skill-set to audio post-production for film and television. So when asked by good friends and long time professional colleagues Tim Hurrell and Ben Nemes if I would be interested in writing an article on the unit for Resurface, I jumped at the chance of spending some quality time seeing just how much the MTRX could do for me.Īt this point I should disclose my relationship with Avid, for the sake of hopefully being impartial in this review. However, Avid announced their partnership with DAD with the Pro Tools|MTRX at the 114 th AES Convention in LA in October 2016. I have to admit that these days rarely do I get overly excited about a new piece of gear, but the Pro Tools|MTRX (and the DAD AX32 that went before it) have been of interest for quite some time, to the point where I solicited quotes for an AX32 a while back.
