Hi there, has anyone set up networked Macs using AUNetSend, AUNetReceive and network MIDI to use a second Mac as a "sound-module"? I can get it to work no problem, but Logic becomes _extremely_ unstable using it and crashes very very soon (> 5 minutes of working, well... trying out) I was using the built-in audio interfaces on both Macs just to make sure it's not a third-party driver problem. Any thoughts? Cheers Hans Sytem: Logic 7.2.2 Dual G5 2.0 / 2.5 GB RAM OS X 10.4.7 MetricHalo MobileIO 2882 Unitor8

Hi Hans, The guys over at the Vienna forums have talked about this in great detail. Start with this topic: http://vsl.co.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t‰43 You could search there for more too.... Hope this helps Colin

I've done it but not for any big length of time. I do know that others have reported that audio drifts a bit after a while. You need to have digital word clock sync going as well to get around this. If both Mac's have toslink ports this would do it or you would have to have an audio interface with digital I/O on both machines to get it. I find network midi to be fine though. I run Melodyne on a second machine using midi clock sync to get it to play along while editing but when I'm done I bounce the audio in Melodyne and copy it back into logic across the network and add it back into the song that way. When I work this way I simply monitor the second mac via audio return to my main interface.
