Hi there,
because every configuration is at least a bit different, and most threads according this issue are master (Mac) and slave (PC), I'm starting this new thread: I want to setup a network with the 2 machines as mentioned above. My Macs:
1. MacPro 3.1: OS X 12.5 - 2x Quadcore@3.2Ghz - 28 GB Ram - 2x 480 GB SSD (1. System...; 2. Samples)... Logic X 4.4 - Finale 2014.5
2. MacPro 2.1: OS X "El Capitan" - 2x Quadcore@3.0Ghz - 32 GB Ram - HD with MacOS
Til today I was only using machine#1 for producing mostly scores and playalongs for my students (drummer) and percussionists) and from time to time "bigger" ones.
Back in 2008 - or so - I bought from VSL the Horizon "Mallets", which was my first contact to VSL. For the actual task I needed some "orchestral sounds" and so I "came back" to VSL and ordered VEP 7, Epic&Smart Orchestra, the Jazz Drumset and "The Vienna Whistler"
The MacPro 2.1 was offered to me -for free - from a friend about one year ago. I upgraded it - change of CPU's et cet....originally it was a MacPro 1.1, - (i thought using it for worst case szenario, that the 3.1 one day could "give up" - but (knock on wood) is a long distance runner.
Back to the topic: does it make sense to you with that 2 warhorses? Do I only need a ethernet cable for connecting? Can I remote control the slave from the master, or need I a second monitor? Is there a tutorial describing the whole process- with setting the IP addresseset cet...?
many questions.... Reiner
