    Looking at a total overhaul of my setup.

    Currently using Cubae 9.5 on Win 7 machine. All my VIs and plugs are on this machine.
    Looking at getting a Mac mini as my DAW machine and to network with the Win machine for all VIs.
    Been hearing mixed reviews about success using Mojave, a little apprehensive.

    My VEP question is: I need to demo VEP before I go this route and have my license key for Cubase.
    1) Do I need a 2nd key to host (on my iMac for the test)
    2) Will my 2011 iMac running 10.9.5 suffice to do this test as a host?

    Hi Slinky 005,

    1) Do I need a 2nd key to host (on my iMac for the test)
    => Yes.

    2) Will my 2011 iMac running 10.9.5 suffice to do this test as a host?
    => You will need to use macOS 10.10 or higher for the current VE PRO 6 version.

    Best,

    Thx for the reply.

    Ok so doing my test is out.
    Judging from my research the app is very solid in general. 
    I was really trying to see if I personally encountered any issues in general.

    Can you tell me if there's anything I will need to be aware of in this setup:

    Mac mini 2018 running Mojave as host with Cubase 9.5 with Apollo Twin interface. (this is potentially what I will be aquiring).
    Win 7 PC running all my VI's with RME Multiface II.
    I would be using the UA plugins for tracking and mixing on the Mac.

    Thx.

    Hi, 

    Sounds like a good setup to me. 

    You could also consider mixing in VE PRO on the PC directly, but that's a question of how you like your workflow. 

    Best,
