The iLive is 48K and the Dante card is also fixed 48k. Even if you could change it you would only be resampling (upsampling) the 48k iLive signal so there will be no quality advantage.

I’ve had the same issue before, it’s a sync issue.

Make sure that in Dante Controller under device view that the brklyn module is set as slave to external word clock.

(Hopefully I have that the right way round – I’m not in front of the console at the moment, but either way try changing that value!!)

Preferred master works. thx.

I still get some ‘static’ on playback or it sounds like the Dante card is clipping, with no clipping on the desk — is that possible… will poke around some more.

It’s a clock issue. Double check in your dante controller software that its preferred master (which you’ve done) and that the sync to external clock box is checked too. It needs to get its clock from the desk. Also your desk should get its clock from internal not port B.

[] good luck

Maybe a little off topic, but what if you have a GLD connected to iLive as a MON desk.

Just to confim, should the GLD clock in the mixer be set to internal or Option card?

I have used that kind of set once, and I set GLD clock sync via option card and that works great.

GLD + AR2412 + Dante

Great Discussion and more Dante/GLD Issues:

Setup is MacBook Pro, Dante Controller and Virtual Soundcard, Reaper 64 and 32 bit versions (makes no difference to the problem). Cisco switch with Qos services (problem below makes no difference whether I use the switch or not).

I want to multitrack record and also monitor the recording now and then by using the monitor capability of each track in Reaper.

I set up an aggregate audio device that has the Dante Virtual Soundcard and the Mac line out.

All of this works SORTA:

I also found through experimentation that the preferred master and external clock settings as mentioned before eliminates the random clicking issue.

However, when I listen to the sound of a track, at times it slowly starts distorting over time and eventually goes completely silent. Then it comes back. Now this sounds like another clock issue.

My plan is to not aggregate the Dante and line out and route the monitor output back into the GLD on an unused track. Of course while recording I will be interrupting the live audio guy a bit. But it will help determine where the problem is. If that works, I may try a different audio device for monitoring. I have an MBox2 available.

One other interesting note: when you unplug the headphones from the line out jack on the Mac, all sound is list for several seconds. The Mac must be re-configuring itself as it senses the change. I got around that with the use of a short 1/8″ extension cable.

Any other ideas?

Try to increase latency settings for DVS and also buffer size in DAW.
