I just bought the new Focusrite Dante NX card. first time setting up Dante.
I installed the Focusrite drivers and Dante Controller. But Nuendo doesn’t see the PCIe card. I should not have to use virtual sound card as I have a real Dante card yes? That limits me to 64 channels and the card has 128 in/out per port. I dont want to lose the channels.
what other piece of software do I need to get Nuendo to see the pie card?
Can you see the Dante NX card in device manager (windows)? Nuendo should see it if you have loaded the correct drivers for it. Try reloading the driver and re-starting.
" Audio Routing in your DAW with RedNet Control 2
Your DAW allows you to select which RedNet audio channel feeds each track. Please refer to your DAW’s documentation or Help files if you are unsure about this.
The RedNet PCIeNX card will be detected by your DAW and added to the list of available audio sources. Select PCIeNX (macOS) or Focusrite Thunderbolt ASIO (Windows)."
From their manual. Also, which Dante audio converter are you using with the card? How about any Gigabit ethernet switches? Is the card installed in a full length PCIe slot, which is also version 2.1 or above?
Here is a link to the manual:
Simpler than all of that!
I forgot about system extension security! Apple M1 Mac Studio.
works great in a Sonnet TB chassis. And yes you can buy an older TB2 chassis and upgrade the card and get 2.1 PCie from that and the card works!
Dante here I come!
Glad you sorted it out, Dante is an amazing and solid protocol.
I love the idea of running Cat6 instead of long audio cables!
And the idea to have theater playback rooms separate from a control room
Here at Casa Sevilla, I have CAT cables running to my different rooms to breakout boxes for mic inputs and monitoring outputs. It works a charm, and the cables are in the walls.
I have flat cables for just such a thing. I already run a network midi setup hosted via an iConnect MioXL.
My VSL machines are running on an overkill 10gig sfp network.
Im a nerd.
What I want to add:
The Mac Studio is running Sonoma ( latest)
Sonnet Three slot PCIe chassis originally had a Thunderbolt 2 card and was a PCIe 2.0 “chassis”
I updgraded the thunderbolt card to TB 3 from Sonnet, and the chassis is 2.1 compliant now.
The card works, but remember to go into recovery mode and lower the system protection settings to allow 3rd party developers.
Seeing 128 inputs and outputs in Nuendo is just stupid sick.
