| I use MIDIoverLAN on a gigabit LAN to sync a Nuendo rig (master) with a Logic rig (slave) via MTC and it's been solid (I reserve a port strictly for the MTC). There is an inherent offset between the two that has to be adjusted so the metronomes line up, but the sync seems tight after that and the audio hardware is locked to the same clock. I use a Mackie Control on the Nuendo rig as master transport controller and that eliminates any control confusion (the master is the only one that can control transport). If you don't have a "quiet" LAN, then using hardware MIDI is a better option and anyway, you wouldn't be able to supply MTC to your console unless you physically connected MIDI to it.
BTW: if you have the same licence on both machines and they're both connected to the same network, your second instance of Logic 8 won't run! I was surprised by this when I tried to run Logic on both my Macbook and my Pro. You can use one instance at a time or you need a second license. I didn't try to see if this was true running Logic 8 alongside Logic 7 though. |
