Ok, the connection now works. On the slave laptop I have loaded three VI matrices:
Bass Flute artic. combi
C Flute artic. combi
Alto Flute artic. combi
When Finale plays back the file I am working on, using only the bass flute on the slave, I get continuous (at least once every measure) audio drop-outs.
The slave is a 1.5 gHz powerbook G4 with 2GB of RAM, much more than those three matrices need.
Any idea why am I getting these drop-outs?
When I stop all playback and just play a single note on the slave using the VE keyboard interface, that note also cuts out regularly, The VE cpu meter reads between 7 and 30% to sustain that single note. If I quit everything on both computers and just launch VE standalone on the slave machine, that sustained bass flute note plays back with no cut outs.
