now if you work in audio production at all you very likely have heard of audinate's
dante and this is used for the most part to connect like digital snakes to mixing board
but it's called an av over ip solution because now it does video as well uh i use it quite a bit in
my church setting to connect um digital snakes and other things to my yamaha mixing boards so
i'm going to try to get their certification today they have three levels of certification
and i think they go up in incremental steps and i thought maybe you might be interested in doing
that yourself and you might want to see how the steps are uh how it goes so i'm just going to
walk you through it and maybe you'll see if you want to do it so the first thing we got
to do is go to autonate.com here you can go to the learning and dante certification program or
you can scroll down to this become a dante pro section and go to dante certification
it has a little description about what the program is for why you might want it
and uh the different levels so level one level two level three then you go to enroll now
this is get your first course then it has the 2021 edition they just updated this after the last nam
and you can take a look at it here what's all involved it's got a video that goes over all
the main basics of what's dante basics of ip uh virtual sound card controller basics
all that kind of stuff then it gives a whole list of exactly what's all in there so once
you're ready to go hit the get this course and start a resume course let's just jump right in
i'm going to watch this in double speed hello and welcome to our dante certification level one of
the new 2021 edition my name is augusto marcondes but you can so what next now it's time for you
to take the mini tests and complete the dante certification level one all right let's do this
certified all right well that was actually a lot more intense than i thought i actually thought
this would read us an absolute breeze level one i feel like i've actually learned quite a bit
so i'm gonna do this complete and continue i've made copious notes
hopefully that helps hmm do you wanna do a survey in between sure why not
yeah it was actually really nice that they provided the slides to review
all right went through all their slides now we're actually at the test it says
it has 10 questions and it'll take me half an hour to complete and i need eighty percent or
better on this one and there's three more tests after this let's see how it goes
let's see dang 90 ding ding ding ding on to the next test
all right submitting the video test hope i did just as well or better let's see yes 100
ding ding ding ding i should have got 100 of the audio but hey whatever let's keep
going test number three all right submitting the third test on networking let's see how it goes
93.3 all right last test number four let's get her done
here we go let's go test four yes course complete level one baby got it done funny
all this testing and stuff i learned a lot all the training and stuff but the actual testing
didn't feel overly hard i gotta download my certificate nice let's see what that looks like
fancy yeah looks like dante level two is much the same well there you have it i got my dante
level one and this is mostly just to see if you guys were interested at all in looking into
what it takes to get dante certified now you can see the process first hand
the training was helpful and actually beneficial that i actually did learn a fair bit about
networking that i didn't know i didn't realize how little i actually knew about networking
and i could refresh her on a few other things and get a few extra little details in there
and that's just level one i'm actually quite surprised how much i learned for level one so
i'm going to go on to level two and level three and um i think i can nail those two so hope this
helped if you guys are interested in doing this go for i think it's worth your time okay God bless
