Word Clock Settings - Yamaha CL1 Reference Manual

Word clock settings

In a Dante network, the master device supplies accurate word clock to other devices on the network. If
the master device is removed from the network or breaks down, another device will automatically take
over as the clock master.
To make this setting, in the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button, then WORD CLOCK/
SLOT button to access the WORD CLOCK/SLOT popup window.
Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard
Install a Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) and the
Dante Controller in a computer that you want to
use for audio recording.
Then, connect the GbE-compatible network port
on the computer to a GbE-compatible network
switch. Configure the computer to obtain an IP
address automatically (this is the default setting).
Before you start DVS, select the desired audio
format (e.g., 48kHz, 24-bit) and Dante latency.
(Select a higher latency value to maintain network
stability during the use of many channels.) For
Advanced settings, select the number of channels
to be used for recording and playback (the default is 8 x 8). Please refer to the Dante Virtual Soundcard
User's Guide for more information on the ASIO setting (Windows).
Setting up Dante Controller
Connect the network port on the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the
computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting).
The following settings can be made via Dante Controller.
• For multi-track recording: Patch audio signals from the I/O device to DVS for multi-track recording.
• For virtual sound check: Patch audio signals in such a way that they will be output from the computer
to the Dante audio network, then routed to the channels on the CL console.
Please refer to the Dante Controller manual for more information about operations and settings of the
Dante Controller.
Setting up DAW software
You must make driver settings in your DAW software. In the device setting window, select "Dante
Virtual Soundcard-ASIO" (for Windows PC) or "Dante" (for Mac).
Some DAW software may require internal patching with the driver. For more information, refer to the
DAW software manual.
If you're using Nuendo Live DAW software, see also
page 188.
Audio recording and playback
After you have made the driver settings in your DAW software, you can record and play back audio.
For multi-track recording, set the input ports for tracks in DAW software to the ports that receive audio
signals from the I/O device.
For a virtual sound check, you must route recorded audio signals to the input channels on the CL
console. To do so, to patch the signals so that the signals will be output from the DAW software to
DANTE 1–64 on the CL console. It may be convenient for you later if you store two sets of the DANTE
INPUT PATCH settings in the library: one set for routing audio signals from the I/O device, and
another set for routing audio signals from DAW software. In this way, you will be able to switch between
patch settings without starting Dante Controller. In addition, you will be able to patch a specific channel
(such as a vocal) to the I/O device to monitor during a virtual sound check.
