ProTools Computer: Checking/Changing Dante Interface Setting

Updated on

There are 2 places to check or change the Dante NIC(Network Interface Card). One in the Dante Virtual Soundcard application and the other in the Dante Controller application. Please click on both Dante Virtual Soundcard and Dante Controller below to walk through checking/changing the NIC settings.

 

We use a "link local" address for Dante at all locations. This means that all dante interface IP addresses are "169.254.xxx.xxx". This info will come in handy later if you have to change your dante interface at all!

DANTE CONTROLLER
DANTE VIRTUAL SOUNDCARD

The Dante Virtual Soundcard(DVS) application should be on the dock of the protools computer. The logo looks like a speaker. If it is not on the dock, search the computer for "Dante Virtual Soundcard" and it the application should come up in the search results.

In the rare case that there is not a network interface that has an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx, please reboot the computer and try again. 

You are done. Great job!
