    Hi, I Begin to change my studio config. I see you advice this PC: http://www.xi-machines.com/xi_de/xi_systeme_vsl_x1_de.html For your products and I am very interress but I dont live in Germany.... Can I find something similar in South Africa??? I am not Familiar with PC. But I see you can have the Window(Vepro) of the PC(Slave) on the Mac(Master). It is Truth??? Do we need a screen connect to the PC???? Or we can do all the manipulation on a Mac screen???? In a Live config (I use DP7 on the Master Mac): Drummer TD9 connect to the Macpro with SD2 Buffer 64. (Actually I work like that with the drummer 128 he feel the latency). Keyboards connect to the Macpro via VEpro to the PC for Komplete 6 and Omnisphere. What is the best buffer size??? Thanks

    You can indeed connect VE Pro from Mac to Windows and vice versa. You will either need a second screen for your VE Pro slave or else use screen connect indeed. The buffer size depends entirely on performance needs. Basically you can try to go as low as possible until performance problems start to occur. This depends mostly on the quality of your network connection and the CPU power of your master and slave systems.

    Hi, That is correct - you just need to set up screen sharing. It is very cool!
