I'm building out a new control/project studio room and I have an opportunity to use a machine room that is about 30' from my room. I use an Apollo 16 firewire which I need to keep in my room because it's hooked up to my outboard and my modular synth. In order to move the computer it looks like I will need to use two 15' firewire repeater cables.
I'm also starting to get more in to mastering and 95% of the time I only am using a stereo output from the Apollo for monitoring. I'm considering maybe getting a smaller i/o interface that is a "mastering" quality AD/DA that could also give me a few line level inputs for my outboard. I'm thinking of using Dante because then I can just feed the computer with a cat6 cable in to the machine room.
Anyone here using a Dante system-maybe specifically so you can have your computer out of your control room? Any favorites?
