While I know the technology, the configuration as a whole can be a daunting task. There are many specialized components in that system. Thank you for your time on this matter, it is greatly appreciated. Therefore we could just take a direct cable from the VSC to the iMac to reduce the number of possible complications? However due to our lockdown, I will not be able to test all your suggestions for some time. We don't currently need to have the network switch running into so much as we are not currently using midi from the iPad (hence the purchasing of the Play Audio 12 and it not being used).
Logic Pro files are saved onto the computers hard drive. I have 700Gb free on the hard drive and I upgraded the memory to 16Gb when purchased in November.
The iMac (2019) is not running any other software at the time of recording. Into a separate computer for our presentation software to enable midiĤ. We run a CAT6 from the VSC to the ethernet network switch and it is then split 4 ways:Ģ. You're correct in your assumption that it is a Dante Virtual Soundcard (version 4.0.1.8) and this has been updated from the initial trail licence. I have a very clean mix with just the smallest of background noise and nothing that I am concerned about. I am using a DBX Splitter and Hill Pro Audio amps and speakers for front of house. This is connected through a CAT7 ethernet cable to our A&H GLD80 mixer. The maximum number of tracks I have on a Sunday is 19. All this runs into a A&H Digital Audio Rack (AR2412) on the stage. We generally have 4 singers (Wireless Shure mics) and we have 6 mics on our drum kit (we do not use condenser microphones). All instruments (5) are run through passive DI's. This was purchased to help us enable midi for our presentation software and lighting in the future. I do have an iConnectivity Play Audio 12 (Digital Audio Interface) which the iPad will be set up on at some point. The only piece of digital equipment on the stage is an iPad running our click and tracks () but we have taken an analogue feed via the headphone socket and split R/L into two passive DI's. I have a drawing attached which I hope will help (the picture States a router but it is a network switch). Thank you for you responses and I've tried to add clarification.
