integrate pc and mac

tvsky · 20th August 2011

Ok I am going over to the darkside and getting a 2nd hand 2.4ghz macbook pro for my live rig

what is the best way to integrate the MBP and my existing PC rig . I don't mind changing DAWS although I currently run cubase 5 and live 8 and both are cross platform

both setups run independant analog mixers , outboard synths and processing . I really need both setups to run in sync with each other while composing and recording as I can route audio from 1 system to the other via analog

Cubase has system link , would MTC/Midiclock be sufficient? I don't need sample accurate sync across them as they operate independantly but they need to have solid and accurate timing sync

Vienna Ensemble Pro is the best way to make multiple computer DAW systems. You can mix PC's and Macs. The software comes with three licenses.

Use system link. The easiest way.

I just use cross-platform session files (.ptf) and universal plugz (RTAS)
