(Under the CLOCK STATUS tab the ‘Slave To External Word Clock’ option for the M-Dante card needs to be ticked YES as the M-Dante module clocks from the iLive)

Thanks guys for this info. It was source of the clicks and pops in my system.
(The wording of the “slave to external clock” had fooled me into thinking it was for an external clock source outside of Dante and iLive)

I now have 32 tracks recording cleanly and returning nicely for a virtual mix. Thanks johnse and biggsoundsounds.

Now I plan to use Drumagog drum replacement software to trigger sounds through Dante VS at a live gig! (It works so well on the recordings)
I’ll let you know how I go.

Hey Biggsounds, please send through your settings when you can, it would be very handy. I am having trouble with my Dante recording. I am recording 32 channels to a quad core XP32bit desktop with reaper. I rebuilt the machine from scratch and did all the usual tweaks. I am going direct to Dante (no switch). I don’t get peaks of over 700 on the latency checker so I am reasonably confident that the PC is in good shape (it’s faster then my studio PC and I do twice as many tracks with that setup). The issue I am having is random clicks and pops on the all the channels. It doesn’t seems rythmical but I do notice a strange thing happening. Every 3 or 4 pops, two channel pop at exactly the same time. I have checked that I am recording in 48k 24bit and the iLive 32 is the master. I’m really happy with it (Dante) but I’m keen to get rid of the spikes. I may try to update the network drivers and see if that helps. Any clues anyone. Has everyone else got it working. It seems to have gone quiet on the topic.
