Audinate announced that its Dante Virtual Soundcard is now available for online purchase at the company website.
Dante Virtual Soundcard acts like a physical sound card or audio interface, including the ability to play and record audio using any Windows audio application with standard ASIO multichannel audio support, or any Core Audio Mac application. This includes applications such as Cubase, Nuendo and Logic, and additionally for Mac, more general audio applications such as iTunes.
The Dante Virtual Soundcard may be purchased as a 7-day, 30-day, or permanent license which can be downloaded directly from the Audinate website (direct link here). The Dante Virtual Soundcard is a software solution which turns a PC or Mac into a Dante enabled device which uses the Ethernet port on the computer to communicate with a network of other Dante enabled devices.
No special hardware is required; the Dante Virtual Soundcard is installed on a conventional PC or laptop. As long as there is another hardware Dante device in a network to act as clock master, the Dante Virtual Soundcard can enable the PC or Mac to be a source or a destination on the network.
The Dante Virtual Sounds offers the ability to record and playback up to 64×64 channels from a standard computer without the need for a hardware soundcard.
