Right now I have the clock grand master set to the A&H internal clock - I will double-check that flag in DC as well to make sure. Hey! I will double-check that clock sync is holding the next time I go in, tomorrow - I'll set up a dummy recording session and let it run for a while and see if DC spits out any errors. I don't believe the ethernet cable is shielded, though I've recorded via DVS without a shielded cable before without issues.Īny thoughts or starting points from the Dante-savvy on this board? Thanks everyone! Other Dante devices on the network are 5 headphone boxes - they are subscribed to the Allen & Heath via Dante Controller as well.Ĭould it be a power issue? Or a hard drive issue? I'm recording direct to a Samsung external SSD. One thought I had is that I just kept Logic tracking without stopping for more than an hour, without saving or starting a new session.but that doesn't sound like it would be the problem. I started getting clicks and pops occasionally (once every 3-4 min) at about hour two of the recording. I did a long session last night, tracking a band. I'm also running Dante Controller on the same Macbook. My question: does anyone have any good or bad experiences to report with particular laptop models (especially Lenovo), for DVS multitracking?īefore I really dive in and spend a bunch of time, I want to see how cheaply I can solve the problem by throwing a little money at it.Hey folks - I'm using Dante Virtual Soundcard with the Allen & Heath SQ-6 and Dante expansion card to multitrack on my 2015 Macbook Pro. Still, it's possible I may end up replacing this laptop to just sidestep the issue.

I am just getting started digging in, and I'm pretty a pretty damn patient and persistent problem solver. Using LatencyMonitor and a test with a USB NIC, and tons of google hits confirming what I've found, I now know that the integrated NIC driver (Intel 82579LM) is the source of about 100ms of delayed procedure call (DPC) latency, which results in frequent drops in the audio signal. Its an older machine, but still an 'upgrade' from the newer but lower-spec machine which has now been given to my favorite non-sound-human. I bought a refurb Lenovo T420 laptop with the singular intention of using it for multitrack recording / playback using Dante Virtual Soundcard.
