    Hi There,
    First time poster here on the forum.  Any help y'all can offer would be most appreciated!  

    I'm attempting to put together a composing rig for my assistant that mirrors my own.  I currently run Logic 10.2 on an iMac, connecting with a PC slave via VE Pro 5.

    I have never attempted to open a Logic session created with one master/slave set-up on second master/slave set-up.  (My assistant's PC slave is still being built, so I haven't been able to test this yet).  So here's my question:

    Let's call my system the A system and call my assistant's parallel system the B system.  And let's assume that the A and B systems are running the same version of Logic, VE Pro, and all plugins.

    In order to take a Logic project with VE Pro created on the A system and open it on the B system, is it necessary for the slaves on the A and B systems to have the same IP address?

    If so, I'm guessing that would make it impossible (or at least difficult) for the A and B systems to exist on the same LAN?

    My ideal set-up would be to have the A & B systems (2 master computers and 2 slave computer) exist on the same network so that all 4 computers can share a wired internet connection and swap files freely.  But I don't see how that would work if the 2 slaves need to have the same fixed IP address.

    Thanks!

    Hi Andy, 

    Yes, that would be trouble, with identical IP addresses. 

    If you want the computers to be on the same network, I´m afraid you´ll have to reassign each VE PRO plug-in each time you open it on the A or B system (after having saved it on the corresponding other system)...

    Best, 
    Paul

    Thanks for the help, Paul.  I'm glad I checked before sinking any time into trying to make it work!
