Recording or playing back using a computer DAW

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 the steps required when adding DAW software to an audio network.

Required devices and software

• CL series console and I/O devices

• 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. A sheet with the DVS token needed

to acquire 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:
