I made the comment about lashing mac and pc together in all seriousness, and a picture (at least for me) is starting to develop.
3 computers (Mac, Pc, take your pick.)
computer 1. Samples only (optional computer 4, splitting the samples)
computer 2. Sequencer and red hot notation program. [H]
computer 3. Mir, and effects.
Given the price of boxes is coming down, the specs are going up, and soon we'll all be in slavery to intel, i have some more questions with optimism for the future.
How will this effect latency?
Will Midioverlan (for Midi) and good audio cards between three (or 4) boxes get the latency down to under three days?
The sequencer machine has to deal with signal out and in for the other two (or 3).
I wonder what minimum spec will be for the 'workhorse' in the herd, given the multitasking it will have to do? (We'll call this computer 'shirley', because women can multitask allegedly)
Given Dietz words about Mir being a Mixer of sorts (this has got me excited. Samples/Notation/Sequencer/Mir. Easy) Shirley will only have to take hold of the samples computers, and can shovel the signal out to MIR, satisfied with a job well done, and not complaining about overwork.
So once the siganl gets to MIR, do we then have to route the signal back to Shirley to record? (She's not going to like that, getting it both ways. Too much to do at once.)
Although i've injected some humour in this (because it's more civilised than complaining), i'm asking if this is possible, and if any of you currently use more than two computers at once, and importantly, what the effect of adding a third will do, in terms of setup, and performance.
May as well think about the future instead of today, then i'm not surprised, and ready to go, when everything comes together.
Regards to you all,
Alex.
