Give your cofiguration

do you have fixed ethernet adress ?

did you check memory usage ? value of swap used ?

[ddk]

My mac slave is a 2x 2.66 Dual core  20GB ram

OS 10.6.8 VEPRO 5.0.10370

I have fixed ethernet, 

when I load my slave mac template it says I am using 15GB ram 

I don't know what value of swap is?

thanks for the help,

thanks for the help,

it is in Activity monitor/system memory/ 

[ddk]

swap used is 1.0 mb

[Cyril Blanc]

This show that you dont have enough memory

[ddk]

So how do I know how much I can load into ram??

I thought I was okay because it says I have 5GB ram free

thanks,

Dave

did you also look at CPU load ?

Do you have hanging notes on the master or on the slave or on both, do you have them without symphobia

can you narrow down you problem using the master only ?

Can you send me a PM with the screen copy :

- of the activity monitor while you are getting hanging notes (cb dot pub at numericable dot com)

- of the ethernet configuration on the master and the slave

Your problem is a bottle neck either in disk i/o, Ethernet, Midi or CPU usage

Using the Swap is normally a sign of "not enough memory" in some apps like office it does not matter as you can wait a few milisec,  but with music it is no good (Using the swap show that there is no more place in memory and some of the memory is save to disk)

Event input, is having more problems than IAC, I had also hanging notes, I solve this by using IAC  !

Could it be also because of 10.6, is 10.6 full 64 bit !

why did you not go for 10.7 ?

[ddk]

Okay when I get stuck notes I will send you my screen shots.

How would I use IAC i don't understand? Would that not be if you were using

VE-PRO on 1 mac?

thanks

You have the "IAC Network"  in the Network of the Midi section of Audio Midi setup app this if you use 2 Mac

[ddk]

I don't get it because I am not using external midi between macs. 

So would I still use IAC???

[Cyril Blanc]

You have a Master and a slave Mac ???

please give all details of Master Mac and software 

[ddk]

I have a master Mac and a slave mac and a slave PC

My master mac I am using Cubase OSX 10.6.8

2x 3.2 quad core 24GB ram
