MIR needs to be installed on the Slave
On the Master you put Logic
You use the best computer as a slave as Logic does not need many resources to run
Thanks for the answer Cyril. That makes sense in that case.
Let's compare these setups:
Setup 1 (my current setup): Master i the best computer and has Logic for composition and mixing, MIR (the reverb plugin loaded on each track in Logic), lots of non-VSL stuff, no multiport; 1 VEP-plugin for each 16 channels. Slave 1 has Dimension strings on 2 VEP instances (2x 16 instruments) and slave 2 has woodwinds and dimension brass on 2 VEP instances. So there are a total of 4 multitimbral VEP-plugins loaded in Logic. VSL Percussion and other instruments are loaded on master computer.
Setup 2: Master is the second best computer. Logic for composition and summing, multiportsetup for 2 slaves (2 VEP-plugins loaded in Logic). Best computer is slave 1 and has all VSL, non-VSL (like kontakt) and MIR loaded. Slave 2 for instruments that do not require MIR, like synths, else mostly a useless slave.
So I'm trying to understand why setup 2 would be better. Is the performance in VEP better than in Logic Pro X? Are there other reasons? The only one I can see for certain is that I would get the dry/wet audio from MIR on separate audio returns.
