I'm not saying people shouldn't use DVS, just that IMHO it is less than a fully realised solution to the problem.įWIW I now also use HDX with Focusrite Red/Rednet devices. Tracking a live gig or off a console (where you can give the talent a cue mix before it hits the DAW) works fine but form my data most of the people using DVS aren't doing this. I've never had the latency low enough to get it to work. Were the band monitoring off DVS after it hitting the DAW? I've not had any problems using actual real Dante hardware units, but DVS seems to be presenting some randoms errors with Mac OS X on too regular a basis for me to be comfortable these days. My problem lately with DVS is that there seems to be some odd and unexplainable errors where the sample rate seems to change without warning and without actually indicating a change. Now we're using our Focusrite units and an HDX system so I don't have a need for DVS in our main recording rig any more. I don't give a rat's ass if the latency is 1 nano second or 10 seconds, as long as the tracks get written every time. Doing recordings of live performances I've tracked as many as 40+ channels at a time (using something other than Protools of course). I absolutely wouldn't use it for tracking- the lowest latency value achievable is:Ĥms (for DVS) + 32 samples (for audio buffer) + 150us (for Dante converters). I work for a gear manufacturer and we use Dante Virtual Soundcard all the time for easily getting audio out of a computer for demo purposes.
