    How does one create an orchestral templet using MIR Pro and instruments split between two computers in a Master/Slave configuration?

    DP 8 is the DAW that I am currently using (although I do own and use Logic Pro X at times). I also own VEPro and have it placed on my two computers (noted in my signature line).  I am in the process of creating a 60 to 70 instrument orchestral templet which are currently split between the two computers. I am using the Mac Pro has Master Computer which also houses MIR Pro.  In using a mixture of VSL and non-VSL instruments, I have the strings and brass instruments coming from the Mac Pro (the master computer with DP 8 and MIR PRo). The wood-winds and and percussion are coming from the MacMini (and slave computer).  If possible, I would like to have the VEPro handle MIR Pro. . . but I have it only on the Mac Pro (master computer).  Is it possible to do this? If so, how? If not, what is the best CPU-sparing configuration within the master computer so that each of the 60 to 70 instruments split between the two computer can be assigned a "stage presence" using MIR Pro?

    Thank you for your time and thoughtful comments.

    One way to acheive this is to have every instrument having its own output and use the MIR Pro AU plugin inside DP.

    But all the MIR processing will be done by your master computer. And you will loose the ease of use of VEP and MIR (naming MIR icons, guess instruments, master dry-wet fader...).

    Another solution would be to buy a second MIR pro licence (Or MIR pro 24). I think there is a special discount for that situation.

    Fred -

    Thank you for your time and thoughtful reply. Yes. I thought of that too. Because of a new set of orchestral instruments that I recently purchased, I am NEEDING to use two computers to help share CPU strain. I am actually thinking about purchasing a 3rd computer to serve as another "slave". Certainly, having each instrument with its own output from the one "slave" computer (my MacMini) will tax my happy yet aging Early 2009 Mac Pro.  Certainly purchasing a second MIR Pro license is a possibility, too.  (Right now, I'm working to save $$$ and purchase a newer Mac Pro.)
