Joel Hazard Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hello all, I am curious about hooking up my computers using Ethernet; interested in whether Logic 10.6 can work alongside 9.1.8? 2011 iMac i5, 2012 Mac mini i7, Motu 8pre, Kurzweil K2000, Logic 10.6.2, 9.1.8, Spitfire libraries, etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I never tried that. But both are so different in many aspects that at best you can expect to sync them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Hazard Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Yes, as I have been reading more about this, the idea is to be able to send MTC and midi information between computers so to lessen the workload of the main cpu while using large sample based instruments.

ValliSoftware Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hello all, I am curious about hooking up my computers using Ethernet; interested in whether Logic 10.6 can work alongside 9.1.8? 2011 iMac i5, 2012 Mac mini i7, Motu 8pre, Kurzweil K2000, Logic 10.6.2, 9.1.8, Spitfire libraries, etc My setup is to two MacMinis using this iConnectMIDI2+ So the audio goes Digital, not Analog, but Digital between the two MacMinis. Also, I just use the iConnectMIDI2+ Midi ports to talk MIDI between the two. There's no Ethernet used in fact, Ethernet was never meant to support audio, too much data. Copy a WAV file from one computer to another over Ethernet to see why you shouldn't use audio over Ethernet. This is a single track. If you copy 10 WAV files, that's 10 tracks you're sending over Ethernet. I think the iConnectMIDI2+ is discontinued, so you'd probably want to look for an similar audio interface but stay away from audio over Ethernet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Hazard Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hi all, I appreciate the info! Yes, have heard of VEPro, thinking it’s probably out of my cash range, but will check it out , thanks. Plus the iconnectMIDI stuff looks pretty great. My thought is to hook my rigs together being able to distribute the sample libraries throughout so I don’t max out any individual cpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I wonder why the iConnectMIDI2+ has been discontinued and why the other products aren't supporting the audio (inter CPU) interface it had... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midi Network Setup at your mac gives you possibility to connect MIDI over LAN. For Win use rtp MIDI. 2. For Audio Connections I thing there is a native support from mac. However I use Sonobus: https://sonobus.net/ Nothing more to say from my side. Thats it! Happy producing! Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried Audiogridder and while it works fairly well, it's like 80ms or something...kinda unusable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
