Let me ask first... what exactly do you need or think you need? Just more CPU?
Well, I'll just take your studio, that should take care of things...

No, really, though... that's truly amazing. (I remain astounded at the level of folks around on these boards)

More CPU, sure, but somehow to edit audio on pro tools and still use vsts (I used RTAS softsynths in LE four or five years ago and I came close to doing violence to the computer many times from this... who knows, maybe it works now) in cubase... or Kore, that's an interesting idea. I had a friend tell me Kore was super-unstable but he was a Mac person; you find it works well on PC? I have yet to get PT8 running so I don't know what's new, but I really do like sequencing in Cubase (doing it right now, in fact!)... and, although I use it only occasionally the logical edit window sometimes has saved my a** in a way that PT's MIDI could only dream of.

I guess my question, when I really think about it, comes down to this: If you have multiple computers, do they have to really all talk to each other through audio interfaces? I feel like I would run out of 16 outs for my vst computer pretty quickly. Is there some way of freezing tracks on a slave computer or something like that? Or do you just have to use a bunch of optical connections? I guess your other post about your system answers that; you hear about these film composer studios with like five or six computers... just wondering how that is made to work.

can't they (hah! I love it when people say "they") make some kind of thing where it just transmits over ethernet?

Thanks...
