Input and output patching

Reference Manual

6. Press the DIRECT OUT ON/OFF button to turn it ON.

In this state, direct output is enabled. Adjust the input level of your external device as necessary.

NOTE

With the factory settings, all are turned off.

7. If you want to change the position of the direct output, access the one-channel

INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup button, and press one of the DIRECT OUT fields.

The DIRECT OUT field you pressed will be enabled.

8. If you want to adjust the level of the direct output, access either the one-channel

or the eight-channel INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup window, and operate the DIRECT

OUT LEVEL knob.

9. When you have finished making all settings, click the “x” symbol located in the

upper right to close the window.

You will return to the OVERVIEW screen.

10. As desired, make direct output settings for other channels as well.

Recording or playing back using DAW on a

computer

If you plan to add DAW software, such as Steinberg Nuendo, to an audio network that includes a CL

console and I/O devices, you must use Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) driver software. DVS works as

an audio interface, making it possible to transmit signals between a DAW and an audio network (that

includes a CL series console and I/O devices). In this way, you will be able to make multi-track

recordings of live performances or use live recordings that were made a day earlier for a virtual sound

check.

This section explains how to perform the setup to add DAW software to an audio network.

Required devices and software

• CL series console; I/O device

• A computer (Windows or Mac) equipped with an Ethernet port that supports a Giga-bit Ethernet

(GbE) network; DAW software

• A GbE-compatible network switch

• CAT5e cable

• Dante Virtual Soundcard driver software

• Dante Controller control software

NOTE

You must have a license ID to use Dante Virtual Soundcard. The license ID is included in the CL

unit package.

The latest information about the Dante Virtual Soundcard and the Dante Controller is available at

the following website:

Using Nuendo Live

Steinberg’s Nuendo Live DAW software can be used with the CL series console, taking advantage of

functionality that makes them work well together. For details, refer to “Using the CL console with

Nuendo Live” on page 188.
