Logic as a sound module for a PC/Neko

[Dante310]

So...no judgements here please, we all have our reasons, but with WWDC keynote done and no mention of logic i'm almost positive about switching to Nuendo on a Neko PC keyboard/workstation within the next month or so. The only thing I will miss about logic in particular is its softsynths...sculpture is fantastic for film work and if i can, i'd like to keep these sounds in my arsenal.

 

What I'd be interested to know is if its possible to use logic with a midi or audio interface (or both) as a sound module for my pc DAW- triggering midi notes on logic's softsynths from a keyboard and tracking the audio (or whatever the best way to do it would be) into nuendo on my pc. can anyone help me out with this? it would be really appreciated.

You don't want to use Logic as a MIDI or Audio interface for the PC. You want to use Logic as a synth.

 

To track audio from Logic into the PC, you need two audio interfaces, one for each machine. For a MIDI Connection you can use MIDI over LAN (a simple ethernet cable and either Audio MIDI Setup's MDI over LAN, or MOLcp).

 

The best situation is to have your main machine (the PC?) be the master, sequence on the master, and then record the audio from the slave (Logic).
