  • using fixed Ethernet adresses normaly fixes the problem

    set your slave using DHCP, note down all the values

    then set it with Fixed Ethernet and fill the fields with the value you just add


  • I've used Logic as my DAW and connected to a PC slave using gigabit ethernet. Generally, I find it slow, so my guess is, this is normal. 19 →Instances← of 16 channels each... 5 + minutes may not be bad at all. But Cyril is probably right.
