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 QL console, you must use Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) software. DVS works as an audio

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

includes a QL 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

•

QL series

•

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 or Dante Accelerator card

•

Dante Controller control software

NOTE

•
