USE
Launch the DNS Control System, which is an RTAS plug-in, in the usual fashion. Remember that
the Control System software is precisely what it claims to be: a control system. It performs no
audio processing. To process an audio stream you must route it via the DNS2000 rackmount
unit. You can do this, for example, by using an insert point within the Pro Tools mixer.
Selecting a DNS2000 Processor
You can launch the DNS Control System (DNS CS) on your Pro Tools system, but until you tell it
which processor to use, it will do nothing.
The drop-down list on the DNS Control System displays any DNS2000 units plus all other
available processors (DNS One, DNS3000) connected to your system. If there is a DNS2000
serial number shown in the list, it is available for use on your system.
OS X users:
The following error message (or similar) indicates that - perhaps because of a power failure, or
because the USB connection has been severed - there is an error communicating with the
DNS2000 processor that you have requested.
PC Users:
The following error message (or similar) indicates that - perhaps because of a power failure, or
because the USB connection has been severed - there is an error communicating with the
DNS2000 processor that you have requested.
Range Selector
With a DNS2000 unit correctly connected and recognised by the Control System, you should
identify the frequency range or ranges in which the unwanted noise lies, and select any of six
possible processing ranges by clicking on the appropriate buttons.
With practise, you will be able to identify the range by ear. Until then, you may prefer to use the
methods described in the following case studies.
