Question

As stated, I would like to record multitrack to two separate devices simultaneously.  There have been some times where the recording was corrupt, and the musicians had to be brought back into the studio for a second take.  Hopefully paralleling recorders would minimize that type of callback.

The console is Studiolive 32 with Dante, both MAC OSX Sierra and Windows 10 computers available, both with firewire and ethernet ports.  What else would be necessary?

There was an interesting thread in the Forum (Live Sound/Dante) about recording and more details:

I would recommend to ask the question again in the Forum, because there are some experienced Dante users answering. I am no specialist for Dante (AVB is ok for me), but as far as I have understood it you can do multiple recordings with Dante and use Firewire recording at the same time. But you have to be aware of control and clock conflicts.

If recordings have been corrupt, did you figure out why? Dante and any network system is never "plug & play". It may be that your problems continue or even get bigger.

Answer 2

Just came across this question and the answer is yes. You can have as many computers connected to a Dante network but you need a Giga-switch to allow more CAT5/6 connections.
