At Life.Church, we use Dante to transmit audio throughout the auditorium. This article will focus on some best practices that can be applied on the ProTools computer to help make sure that audio keeps flowing smoothly.
1. Always make sure WiFi is turned OFF
Click on the WiFi signal sign in the top toolbar on the computer and select Turn WiFi Off.
If the WiFi signal sign is not present in the toolbar, turn it off using System Preferences
Open System Preferences
Open Network Preferences
Select Wifi and turn it off
2. Quit Dropbox COMPLETELY before rehearsal starts
Click on the Dropbox logo in the desktop toolbar
Click on the gear and select Quit Dropbox
3. NEVER perform an update without instruction to do so from a Central Tech Team member or a member of IT.
Updating prematurely can cause potentially fatal errors and Dante crashes.
We hold off on updating until we have tested and can ensure that the new update is compatible with all of our devices and the bugs have been worked out. As soon as a new update has been tested and verified, we will communicate that it is safe to update.
