Digital Audio Denmark Announces DADman and Control|Pack Trainings for AES Live Sound Training Expo Digital Audio Denmark, the maker of high-resolution AD/DA converters, mic preamps, and monitoring solutions, will present a full program of professional training sessions at the AES Live Sound Training Expo in Nashville, Tennessee on February 24-25. The sessions will demonstrate the capabilities and versatility of DAD's Dante audio network control application DADman and playback management software Control|Pack for a wide variety of live audio applications. The sessions will also include a special workshop on Plug-in Processing and Redundancy in live audio with monitor engineer Salim Akram (Billie Eilish, Finneas, Dijon). The DADman / Dante Workflow Session, presented by Jon Schumann and Kurt Howell, will offer an in-depth discussion on working with Dante audio networks inside the DADman control environment. Topics will include system setup and network configuration; routing workflows between Dante devices and DAD hardware; monitor control, speaker management, and cue workflows; practical applications for live sound, studio, and broadcast environments; and tips for efficient system design and troubleshooting. The session on redundant playback and system control, presented by Jon Schumann, will be a live demo and a workflow deep dive into Control | Pack, the redundancy and playback management software from DAD. It will explain key features and show practical examples of how Control | Pack increases reliability and flexibility in modern production systems, including redundant playback systems for tours and live production; effects processing/hardware inserts integrated with native DAW systems' playback of virtual instruments and plug-in effects from host computers; show control and scene change management for live performances and installations; and automatic backup source switching, such as microphone or input failover. A final session, presented by Salim Akram and Jon Schumann, will explore the practice of plug-in processing for front-of-house and monitor engineers in live audio environments. This workshop will demonstrate how to utilize DAD hardware to create robust redundancy systems to add an extra layer of security to live audio workflows and will offer helpful tips and tricks for navigating these processes.
