    The end result is networking 2 ilive systems together. I/O from any where I run cabling for I/O. But running multiple systems with their own dedicated I/O off of pl 10s. I can run multiple audio systems off of 1 mix rack with a laptop. Now I want to be able to put everything on network. So the Dante card will do what I reedit too. I don’t need to control multiple systems only routing of I/O. I need the larger mix racks because the amount of inputs and outputs I need between the 2 mixradks to run multiple systems.

    The xdr16 system is super sweet and I want it for the FOH but it isn’t large enough for this application. I’ll be pulling cat5, that’s no big deal. It’s about 200ft between the 2nd potential system.

    7 completely individual audio systems ran simultaneously using dedicated DCA outs, 6 of them ran by PL devises from one iDR48 and a computer and the other has it’s own iDR 48 and T112. Ok so now… Network all inputs and outputs via cat5 between the two mix racks. The ace card will do that but the Dante seems much better in that it just creates it’s own network that I can route from. Remember I don’t need control over two mix racks just I/O.

    Yeah the audio sync is internal and it happens so quickly that I don’t have a chance to PFL it because it happens and is done so quickly. It hasn’t happened for a couple weeks now. We record pretty much everything so I’ll hopefully capture it the next time it happens.

    Thanks, i’ve read about Dante with the Brooklyn card and overlooked the virtual sound card and it never clicked. But that’s incredible! I feel like such a noob. That makes it so amazingly cheap for that much i/o! Exciting!!!

    Wait… Are you saying that you plug into your computers network port? Holy crap. Is that true???

    As far as getting from Dante into his iMac wouldn’t he need to have a a pcie slot to go from his mix rack then into his daw? Is there a FireWire based Dante option?

    With the ace card in both would it allow up to 16 pl devises on each mix rack? I think it’s 16 normally. I can’t recall for certain.

    No external clocking and currently the inputs to the system processor are analog. [?]

    Do you currently have any recording interfaces? I don’t think Dante has a way of getting into a imac directly because it doesn’t have card slots only USB & FireWire. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    that’s pretty sweet I must say. Just trying to configure some volunteer safe “mini consoles” with some basic presets and control.
