It is possible to coexist on the same network with different sample and bit rates
control of the X32 can be achieved through the Ethernet switch built into the unit

Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use waves multirack on one laptop and record on a second laptop at the same time? What's the best way to connect to a switch or can I utilize a direct connection?

Thank you, Gabriel. In a nutshell, Dante is a network protocol. On the Dante card for the X32, there are two Cat5 connectors It consists of 2 primary grades and 2 secondary grades. One laptop can be plugged into each connector, or a gigabit switch can be plugged into one of the connectors and the laptops can then be fed Having Dante enabled machines allows you to route any input or output to/from any device. *For this purpose, I plug in 2 laptops to the Dante card and record two copies of the live show. Keeping one on hand is a good idea. must install the Virtual Dante Soundcard applications on each machine in order to make them A laptop's output can also be routed to a Dante network. The Dante network is really just software that routes audio from one system to another. Here is my attempt at helping you. I've seen a lot of improvement on this account. I wish you the best of luck, Tim

Are you able to use M32 with this?

I believe so.

The following is true, but read this first AES50 is the protocol used on the Behringer X32 mixer
5/5

The mixer provides 32 channels of I/O over Ethernet. A- has an effect on the Aviom system, where it is not an effect. NET protocol.

A network bridge capable of converting AES50 into A-NET In order to use the X32 with an Aviom system, you need to have Net.

Adding this to an already top-notch system is a great idea! I was a little hesitant to purchase this card, as it costs $400, and if you want to use it with a computer, you need to purchase the $30 Dante Virtual Sound Card, which cost me another $40
5/5

In my experience, I feel that the X-ray is not as effective as I had hoped Bundling the Dante card with the x32 would be a good idea. As a result, I am now able to send the Audio signal to as many systems as I need, and the best part is the latency is just 4ms on average, versus an ASIO max of 2ms. A 6ms interval. How likely is it that you will purchase The answer is, yes, if you need the low latency and the versatility of being able to utilize standard IP networks to push audio to the X32. X-ray, if you have one As long as you don't do any more than track the 32ch from the x32, it may work. AES50 and Dante capabilities turn the X32 into a hybrid console that can be instantly dropped into a Yamaha environment, and I would say it does make tracking a whole lot easier, with the only requirement being a good Ethernet port in order to record all 32 tracks.

The card allowed me to use all my Waves plugins with Waves Multirack, which made my mixes in church sound so much better
5/5

I was very happy with the card. To run Virtual Sound on each computer you will need $30 worth of software, or you can get a PCI card. If you want to have very low latency, you should buy a graphics card for your desktop PC for about $1000. In my current setup, I use two laptops with Virtual Sound Cards. The Cisco SG300 is a decent switch you can use to get Dante to work, but its not all that you need Buy a low-cost Gigabit Managed Switch (under $200) and disable the Energy Management setting It is especially important to make sure that Ethernet is efficient since it can cause problems for Dante Networks. It was possible to get away with a cheaper switch for under $60, the NETGEAR ProSAFE GS108E Switch with Ethernet ports multirack on a low budget, while the Cisco is still a preferred option and that is the switch Yamaha tests and recommends for Dante audio. It is Yamaha's responsibility to provide all documentation for configuring the Cisco Switch for maximum efficiency. In my experience, even when Dante documentation states that it works with auto IP address assignment, I have run into latency/clock issues with it, and I needed to also connect an old router that had DHCP set up to assign IP addresses to devices in the Dante network. Also, if you don't have a MAC, but use a PC, like me, for instance I started out using Windows 7 and now I use Windows 10, you will have to customize the operating system to get the lowest possible latency, case, the laptops I'm using are over three years old, so I had to do a lot of tweaking to get them down to the right latency. Here is a link that might be helpful. Then [br>

The expansion fit perfectly into the slot where the old one was, and the laptop ran like a charm once it was plugged in

The X32 has reached the age of Ethernet Audio
5/5

In terms of performance, it beats USB, but it loses half the battery life There are some great solutions for ethernet sound, such as Dante, which are becoming affordable for small and medium-sized businesses Now is the time to enter the pro markets. Using this card, you can enter a Dante network, and it works as expected. It enables me to record live theater, and the low latency and large channel handling are perfect for this type of recording. In order to route audio, the Dante controller is necessary - it is needed because it assigns locations to the audio. You will need to download it from the audinate site. Dante Virtual Soundcard must also be purchased if you want to play the audio on your computer. This add-on costs $30. Based on the cost of this card, I would have liked to have seen at least one copy provided.

Tip Be sure to activate DVS by pressing the virtual button before getting started! My attention was distracted for a while before I realized I had to do this and the software wouldn't appear on.

It is my favorite! Dante is my favorite
5/5

It's almost always connected to my studio setup, and I'm always very pleased with the sound it produces. In the beginning, Firewire was my fav, but now DANTE is my new favorite.
