Setting up Dante ControllerConnect the network port of the computer to a GbE-compatible network switch. Configure the 
computer to obtain an IP address automatically (this is the default setting).
You must make the following settings for Dante Controller.
• For multi-track recording, patch audio signals from the I/O device to DVS or the Dante 
Accelerator card.
• 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.
(page 155).
The following example shows Dante Controller settings for when channels 1-16 of an I/O 
device are patched to DVS.
In this case, you'll need to switch the DANTE INPUT PATCH settings of the CL series console 
depending on whether you're performing multitrack recording or multitrack playback. If you've 
saved these different sets of settings in the DANTE INPUT PATCH LIBRARY (page 155), 
you'll be able to switch between them conveniently.
NOTE
Please refer to the Dante Controller manual for more information about operations and settings 
of the Dante Controller.
Setting up DAW softwareYou must make driver settings in your DAW software. You must make driver settings in your 
DAW software. In the device setting window, select “Dante Virtual Sound Card-ASIO” (“Dante” 
for Mac) or “Yamaha AIC128-D” as the sound card (or audio driver) used for input/output.
Some DAW software may require internal patching for the driver and the DAW software. For 
more information, refer to the DAW software manual.Setting up Nuendo LiveIf you install the “Yamaha Console Extension” software for linking Nuendo Live to a console, 
and then start up Nuendo Live and create a new project, tracks corresponding to the number 
of channels specified in DVS will be created automatically, and the channel names and colors 
from the CL series console will automatically be assigned as each track name.Audio recording and playbackAfter you have made driver settings in your DAW software, you can record and play back 
audio.
For multi-track recording, set the input ports for the tracks of the DAW software to the ports 
that receive audio signals from the I/O devices.
For a virtual sound check, you must route recorded audio signals to the input channels on the 
CL console. To do so, use Dante Controller 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 devices, 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.

Using the CL console with Nuendo LiveThe CL series consoles can operate in an integrated manner with Steinberg's Nuendo Live 
DAW software.
The “Yamaha Console Extension” software which integrates the CL series and Nuendo Live 
can be installed in your computer, allowing you to operate Nuendo Live from the CL series 
console to easily perform multi-track recording operations.
Here we explain how to operate Nuendo Live from the CL series console.Preparing the projectRefer to “Recording or playing back using a computer DAW” (page 179) to make the following 
settings.
• Setting up Dante Virtual Soundcard

Settings for each user can be stored as a “user authentication key” inside the console or 
together on a USB flash drive, allowing users to be switched easily. This can be convenient in 
the following situations.
• Unintended or mistaken operation can be prevented.
• The range of functionality operable by an outside engineer (guest engineer) can be 
limited.
• In situations in which multiple operators alternate with each other, output settings etc. 
can be locked to prevent unintended operations.
• Preferences of each operator can easily be switched.

User types and user authentication keysThere are three types of user, as follows. To operate the CL series console, you must log-in 
as a user.
• Administrator ...... The administrator of the CL console can use all of its functionality. 
Only one set of Administrator settings is internally maintained in the 
console. The Administrator can create user authentication keys for 
other users.
•Guest
...... A Guest can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. 
Only one set of Guest settings is maintained inside the console.
•User........ A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the 
Administrator. User settings are saved internally or on a USB flash drive as 
user authentication keys. Multiple sets of user settings (up to ten in internal 
memory) can be saved, each with the desired user name.
A User who has Power User privileges can create or edit user 
authentication keys with a specified user level.
When a user logs in, the user settings for that user are applied. User settings include the 
following information.
• Password (except for Guest)
• User Level settings (except for Administrator)
•Preferences
• USER DEFINED keys
• USER DEFINED knobs
• Assignable encoders
• Custom fader bank
• MASTER fader
Privileges for each user are as follows.
Setting the Administrator passwordWith the factory settings, the Administrator password is not set, meaning that anyone can log 
in with Administrator privileges and perform all operations. If you want to restrict the 
operations of other users, you must specify an Administrator password.
NOTE
• The password can be up to eight characters. If the two passwords that were entered match, the 
Administrator password will be set.
• For details on entering a password, refer to “Entering names” in the separate Owner's Manual.
Creating a user authentication keyYou can create a user authentication key and save it on a USB flash drive or in the console's 
internal memory. A user authentication key can be created only by an Administrator or Power 
User. The user level can be specified when the authentication key is created, but the USER 
DEFINED key settings and preference settings will be carried over from the user who is 
currently logged-in.
NOTE
• You can store ten keys in the console's internal memory.
• The file name of the user authentication key will be specified as the current user name, and its 
location will be specified as the root directory.
