  • VEPro 5: Can I slave two Macs to a rMBP using a Thunderbolt dock?

    (Cross post from Hardware and General) I'm using VEPro 5 with a Mac Mini slave connected to my DAW computer, a MacBook Pro Retina 2015, using Thunderbolt Bridge. Which seems to work fine. I want to add my older MacBook Pro as a second slave, but my audio interface also uses Thunderbolt only (UAD Apollo Twin Solo), so that would require 3 TB ports while my DAW computer has only 2. Neither MBP has an Ethernet port. So is it possible to connect both my slave computers to my DAW computer through, say, a OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock? Would my DAW computer recognize the slaves? Would that hurt the speed? And I'm assuming my audio interface would have to skip the dock and go directly into my master computer's second TB2 port?

  • Does anyone care to help him out? lol


  • Hi, 

    Sorry, I already answered this in a mail to support. 

    We have heard of quite some troubles with Thunderbolt Docks and Network Connections, so I´d always choose the "classic" Router option to connect a network. 

    Best,
    Paul
