Dante is one of the most powerful tools in live audio right now and understanding how to use it can make playback during gigs and soundchecks so much easier.
In this video, we'll connect a Yamaha QL1 mixer to a DAW using the built-in Dante card. I'm using Reaper but this should work with any DAW. If you have a different mixer with a Dante card inserted then the process should be similar.

SUPER helpful! I have used Dante to do multitrack recordings from our Allen & Heath GLD-80 mixer (with Dante card) into a DAW, but I wanted to reverse the flow to be able to do trainings to teach folks in our church how to mix music in our auditorium without having a live band on stage. I hoped it could be done, and this video showed me how (with a few tweaks specific to our GLD mixer). Thank you!

Great to hear! Glad you managed to tweak it to the GLD as well. I was trying to keep the info as general as possible so that people could make it work on other mixer, great to hear it worked :)

You know what I was looking for the reverse process tutorial as to how to multitrack record to the DAW. I also use Reaper (which I hate rofl) and need to know what I'm doing wrong as all my Dante seems properly setup. I also use a Yamaha DM2000 V2 which is way more complex it seems.

Hi Andrew, great tutorial. After watching I started wondering if you could offer me some suggestions as to where I might be going wrong in my set up. I have a Dante card in my Allen & Heath GLD-112 mixer a laptop with the DVS drivers installed and I am using Reaper as my DAW. I'm using the Dante Controller software as well. My mixer and laptop are both connected to a switch so my audio is networked. I can get all of the channels into reaper but I'm unable to monitor the audio at the laptop witch is not near the mixer and I cannot get the audio back into the mixer from the laptop so that I can preform virtual sound checks. I have configured the I/Os for Direct and I am using a 1 to 1 patch throughout. Forgive me for the long-winded explanation but wanted to be as detailed as possible just in case you would want to offer some advice.

Hey Kevin, interesting situation and thanks for the detail. My first thought reading it is that you would probably need separate return channels for the sound coming back from the laptop, though perhaps I'm reading too much into the situation. Are you recording the audio and then trying to play it back afterwards with reaper or are you trying to monitor it in real-time? If you've got the tracks coming into reaper then you've won half the battle and you know that you have communication between your dante card and DVS, and it's set up correctly in reaper. My list of things to check would be are: Are the reaper outs set to individual DVS outs? Are the subscriptions in Dante controller set up correctly? Is the card on the GLD subscribed to sound from DVS? Are the input channels on the GLD then set to receive sound from those dante inputs? Are there any inserts or anything that could prevent the incoming sound reaching the fader? These are just the things I can think of off the top of my head but please let me know how you get on!

Hey, Glad, you liked it! It should work more or less exactly the same on all DAWs (maybe easiersince reaper is a little weird). You would just select Dante Virtual Soundcard as your soundcard in Nuendo instead of whatever audio interface you're currently using. Hope that helps

Thanks for this video. I want to get a completely isolated mix for my live streaming systems without using the mix from the FOH mixer. I want to get a separate mixer for this purpose. What options do I have with Hardware audio mixer over DAW? Which is a better recommendation for Hardware mixer between Behringer X32 and Midas M32? What DAW works very well on Dante networked audio?
@OffshoreAudio
@OffshoreAudio 2 жыл бұрын
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment. It depends a little on what you're using for your FOH mixer and you would need a dante card for both FOH and streaming mixers to do it. If you had an M32 at both FOH and streaming then you would connect your mics and gain them up as normal. You could then send the gained up mic signals to the streaming mixer using dante and mix the stream completely separately. Though if you were using two X32s/M32s then you wouldn't actually need dante. I could do a video demonstrating that if you'd like? As far as recommendations, both mixers are very similar and capable, if money is no object then get the M32, and the buttons are nicer. For a DAW use whatever you're used to. As long as you know how to route inputs then it'll get the job done just fine. Hope this helped, let me know how you get on.

Geht doch auch mit einem Mischpult. Über Matrix und Stereo Aux je nach Mischpult. Bleiben wir mal beim X32. Wenn du eine 2. Benutzeroberfläche zum Mischen brauchst. Mixing Station App. Habe die A&H Avantis, da kannst du die Inputs doppelt auf die Kanäle Routen. Ist aber eine andere Preisklasse. Aber für Kirchen und Gemeinden Ideal. Da du 2 Arbeitsflächen hast auch 2 PFL Pfade. Oder alternativ mit eine DAW wie Reaper arbeiten

Great information and timely for me. I am trying to figure a way to use my PC Laptop (running Studio One) into my analog mixer. The sound card I am considering uses DANTE and MADI and I did not know how i can connect the PC Laptop with the 32 I/O sound card until I saw your video. (I am still on the fence which sound card to buy until I figure out the best way to do this on cost). Question Please: Does anyone make an external device to run DANTE with a PC Laptop? Also, if you have any recommendations on a sound card that will give me 32 channels Out (for analog console mixdown) I would appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance. Philip NYC Area

Hey Philip, I get you. Hard to say without knowing the exact mixer. If you have an analogue mixer then I think the only way to do it is to get 32 channels of I/o with a couple of sound cards linked together. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/16A--motu-16a-32x32-thunderbolt-usb-2.0-audio-interface-with-avb You can link these with toslink cables. Then you'd need 32 Jack cables... It would be easier and cheaper to get a digital mixer like an x32 with the usb card installed and then just use that as your soundcard. Using Dante isn't viable unless you're going from digital to digital. Hope that helps. NYC is a cool place. Hopefully I'll get a chance to visit it again soon

@@OffshoreAudio Hello and thanks for your reply. I have a digital mixer (Presonus 32S model) but don't like using it. It's great for a Control surface using Studio One, but very tedious if you have a lot of vintage out-board gear you would like to use during a mix down. I have an Allen Heath 32 channel analog mixer with Line level Balanced TRS Inputs and TRS direct outputs which i want to use for mix down I am on the fence whether to get a FrrroFish A32 (I would need to use Dante for this) or The Antelope Orion Gen 4 interface which i could use USB. (I could buy the discontinued Orion Gen 3 model as well if I use Thunderbolt for 32 I/O. The Gen 4 model can do 32 I/O using it's USB connection.

Kommt auf die Kanäle an. Muss man im Dante Controller unter Latenz kontrollieren. Bei 32 Kanal Recording muss ich 10ms einstellen in der DVD. Kommt auf den Rechner an.usw. Ab besten mit Switch betreiben. Wenn du mehr mit Dante arbeitest, mache die Kurse Dante Level 1-3. Dann hast du alle Informationen, wie du die Latenz minimieren kannst. Könnte auch mit 4 bis 5 ms funktionieren, wenn du gewisse Regeln einhältst.

I got a question if you don't mind, I am trying to run Reaper with Dante Virutal Sound Card, but when I am going to select Dante on Reaper nothig is going on play, so I can not test nothing (I got same configuration in your video) You think could be a License problem (I got trial for now) or any tips?

Hey, I erally don't think it is a license problem, I've recorded a show using both Reaper and DVS on a trial license. Is the playhead not moving in reaper? I've managed to ge the same issue when I just opened it up now. Probably a driver or routing issue, Pro tools does this weird stuff all the time. I'll have a look and let you know if I work it out on my machine. Do you have it connected to a dante device? That would be what I would check next.

Had a similar issue, turns out Avast antivirus was blocking everything because I was connecting directly and there was no DHCP server so the network is considered a public network. A fix is to turn off antivirus, add in a router that gives DHCP, or manually go through PowerShell and manually set your Ethernet to private

Habe auch Avast, man muss in der Firewall eine Ein- und Ausgangsregel erstellen. für Windows. Dann kann man es mit Virenschutzprogramm betreiben. Zudem beim Installieren des Dante Controllers darauf achten, dass der Virenschutz deaktiviert ist, und man als Administrator das Packet installiert. Verwende auch Reaper. Du musst schauen, dass in Reaper die Kanäle mit Dante verknüpft sind. Meine ist rechte Maustaste am Kanaleingang. In der Einstellungen von Reaper muss Dante als Asio Treiber eingestellt sein. Hatte dasselbe Problem. In Cubase relativ schnell konfiguriert. In Reaper habe ich etwas gebraucht bis ich diese fehlende Verknüpfung gefunden habe. Wenn du es in Cubase hinbekommen hast, hast du schon einige Erfahrung. Thema bei mir, war, dass beim Recording Cubase teilweise ausgestiegen ist. Hatte die Empfehlung, dass Reaper stabiler läuft. Routing im Controller muss natürlich vorhanden sein.

At the end of the day it will work in the sense that your signals wll go where they need to go, but you and the artist will have to decide what an acceptable latency is. I can't recommend it because I've not used it for tuning and I don't know any pros who do. But if you have access to the SQ and dante card why not try it out and let me know what kind of latency you come across.

Dante has an international Format, to transfer Audio an Video over internet, it is possible With other Internet Protocols. You can make an audio priority, with a primary and Secundary connection.automatic Clock, and Dante would be an international Standard. All Olympic streams, run not over Satellite, they steam over internet with Dante. You can create an international Network with minimal Latenz and clock synchronisation. Dante can read the Broadcast standard AES50. You can give rights for streaming, and organising your Steaming. And in modern Concert Halls all Equipment can go with Dante. It is a standard witch run with many Equipment from different Manufacturer. I think it was the future for the next year. If you want to knowing more, make the Dante course level 1-3.

A good question. Potentially you could use dante controller to route DVS to the console dante inputs, so you could avoid roughly 8:00 to 10:00 in the video. I'd say that knowing how to do it with the console is a valuable skill though. I've not tried with dante controller and the QL stuff in a while so give it a go and let me know.
