Thanks for that. I hope to do it soon.

musos.....
All celli and basses from the 2nd G5 pipe back to 1 AUX Stem on Main G5
That isn't a big deal though.....even though I would prefer a stereo stem for for basses and another for celli.

No latency if you use a cross-over cable ...None....it's digital lite-pipe..
perfect

Dude-- do you have any idea how incredibly simple this is? There are so many people tossing wads of cash at hardware and software to get this done-- and in some cases to disappointing results. It really makes me wonder why this method isn't more popular or discovered sooner.
Thanks, SvK. Your generosity of info is greatly appreciated!

O.K. A dumb question ("Oh no!", I can hear you all say... :lol[:)]
I have a G4 PowerMac (1.25 Dual) at present. If I were to purchase (and that's a BIG if) another G5 would I be able to make use of this at all? And would it have to be a PowerMac or would an iMac or something similar be acceptable?

I suspect that it probably has more to do with running the same OS on both units than anything else. Does your G4 have optical I/O's? That would be another consideration. SvK might have a clearer answer for you...
I'm not sure the iMac would work, but again I'm not sure if any iMac has dual optical I/O's. My suspicion would be it would have to be at least a pair of G5 towers running Tiger- unless I'm mistaken.

You need optical outs, on the computers.
BTW,
If you are in the market for another computer, I would wait for the new Mac Intel Towers....(novemberish)
Maya recently sent me the stress test results of a MacBookPro, and they are insane...imagine how crazy the new Mac Towers will be.....
BTW here is the comparison...it is unbelievable. Note that the MacBookPro has a much higher polyphony count then the G5 QUAD!!!! wow.

svonkampen,
Just a question as silly as it may sound but how long have you been working with this particular installation? I'm asking because sometimes things are too good to be true, and in the long run we end up with complicated situations and who knows if that could harm your computer. But maybe I'm completely out to left field, I just like to be cautious with these things.

Guy,
3 12 hour days
yould be investing in (2 optical cables, and a cross-over cable) 20 bucks maybe [;)]

ps: Also this sytem isn't some crazy-hack job......Aggregate Device and Network MIDI are embedded into Tiger OSX!
There is no crazy shareware stuff needed..
It just works.

SvK,
Very exciting what you have figured out here! Thanks for sharing the good news.
If one were to use audio interfaces could they use more than two G5's? Of course this means you're buying extra hardware but then you would also have multiple audio channels...
