I got my Dante card today. I’ve installed it, the Dante Controller and Virtual Sound Card. Things mostly seem to be working, but there are some odd things. I’m playing back some multitrack recordings.
My configuration is:
-
Dante Virtual Sound Card is set for 16 x 16 channels, 48K, 6ms latency.
-
Source recordings are 44.1K, being played back in Mackie Tracktion
-
Tracktion shows the Dante outputs as outputs Dante tx 0 through Dante tx 15.
-
Mix-Rack (iDR-32) set with Inputs 1 - 16 having sources Port B Dante channels 1-16.
The following (in italics) seems to be fixed now. I reset the latency to 10ms and the DVC said I needed to reset all of the subscriptions. I did so and then noticed that about half of the channels were not making it through. I shut down Tracktion, reset all the subscriptions, and then restarted Tracktion. Now all of the channels are flowing.
The track that is assigned to Dante tx 0, which should be on Port B Dante Channel 1, is not registering signal. I tried routing it to a different strip, still no signal. If I route the track to Dante tx 15, it shows up correctly on Port B channel 16.
-
There’s a significant amount of crackles. I’ve listened to the tracks directly on the computer and there are no dropouts in the recordings. I’m listening via the PAFL headphone output on the mixrack directly.
-
Is there a simple way to switch all of the Port B channels to the appropriate strips? Going through one at a time is painful.
