Configuring a Main Mix Computer
Configuring one computer as a main mix computer that receives the audio from your other computers allows you to mix internally in the computer.
In the following example, we assume you are using 2 computers: computer 1 as your main mix computer and computer 2 for 2 additional stereo audio tracks, an FX channel track with a reverb plug-in and a VST instrument plug-in with stereo outputs.
Procedure
Result
If you now start playback, the audio from computer 2 will be sent live to the new tracks on computer 1, allowing you to hear them together with any tracks you play back on computer 1.
After Completing This Task
If you notice a processing delay while you listen to signals coming from your other computers while monitoring, try the following to compensate for latency issues:
-
If your audio hardware supports this, activate ASIO Direct Monitoring on the VST Audio System device panel for your hardware.
-
Alternatively, open the Studio Setup dialog, and on the VST System Link page, change the Offset Samples value.
