Hi
I'm using Cubase 5 as main DAW. I want to use a 2nd pc for hosting VSTs intruments and effects to reduce the pay load on the daw, but be able to easily save my projects and not run a 2nd sequencer on the 2nd PC. Both PCs have XP.
I dont want to spend much (if anything) on this. Any recommendations of free applications that will do this seemlessly.
Bascially :
PC 1 running Daw Cubase 5
PC 2 running VSTs in an appropriate host.
Stream Audio to PC2 from PC1 and return to PC 1 recording in Cubase
Send MIDI from PC1 Cubase 5 to 2nd PC.
Im after the best solution with minimal latency.
To help advice here is what Im using
PC 1 Cubase 5 Audio Interface Mackie 1620 firewire using Emagic unitor 8 Midi interface.
PC 2 Savi Host (Or anything else people can recommend) with Echo Gina 24
Other kit Synths with Access Virus (I understand the virus has midi and can be used as a sound card and I tend to use the USB inputs direct into Cubase 5 on PC1 rather than 1/4'' Jack stereo outs. If I use the Virus on P2 I am guessing when saving projects Cubase 5 wont save the settings etc from PC2.
Im open to suggestions and hope Ive made this clear. I am wondering if its theres a better way to configure the existing set up buit my heads spinning at the moment.
Any more information needed please ask.
Many thanks
