Here's some suggestions using this model if you're recording as many as 19 tracks. Still, even a 5400rpm system drive may be a problem, Catalina OS accesses the drive almost continuously under normal operation. Some models used a fusion drive, I don't if the model with the specs you've posted uses the fusion drive or not, do you know? Fusion drives have been known to cause static/crackling under stress.

The 2019 iMac uses a 5400rpm 1TB drive, plus a retina 4K display and a fairly low end i3 processor. Just had a thought now that you've posted the computer specs, it may (or may not) remove the Dante network as the cause of the problem. I still have to figure out what exactly this means for Logic to the GLD-80 through the Dante network. The GLD-80 is set to internal Audio sync. The Dante option card is setup as a slave for audio clock (Sync) on the GLD-80. The VSC is always a slave in the Dante network. The Dante option card is the master clock for the Dante network.

The iMac runs the Dante VSC software in order to participate in the Dante network. The ethernet cable is plugged in the Primary port of the Dante card. Since you get a clean mix from the GLD, I assume that part is OK.įrom the Dante option card (M-Dante or M-DL-ADAPT) in the GLD-80 an ethernet cable is run to a switch and eventually directly to an ethernet port on the iMac. The AR2412 is connected to the GLD-80 through dSnake ports. I'll let aside sampling rate as this is not related to the issue in my opinion. Here in a nutshell is my understanding so far:Ĭlocking and synchronization work within two layers: Audio across the whole system and the Dante network itself (and specialized connections between A&H hardware).
I need to dig more in the documentation for the details. 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).

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.
