Might seem like a stupid question: I know some people (Especially film composers) have master and slave set ups with Mac as master and PC as the slave machine. Im upgrading to a i7 4930k PC soon and I'm thinking if I should use my current system i5 2310 as a slave PC. So essentially it is a PC to PC master/slave set up. Is it ok and common to have a PC to PC slave set up?
Will My Old Pc Work As A Slave For Machine
Thinking of doing this becoz I read somewhere such set ups can help spread the CPU/RAM load of big projects (lotsa tracks) to the slave PC, thus increasing track count. And since I already have the current PC might as well make full use of it after getting the 4930k PC. Yes it's a pretty easy thing to do and yes,it's a common thing to do via. Pc to mac/ mac to pc/ pc to pc/ mac to mac/etc. Especially after you buy a new faster computer and still have your old working computer, which worked for you and audio work before you bought your new machine. The old saying is 'Two heads are better then one', yes it will help you by splitting your cpu load between each machine.
To do it you will need to connect the midi out from the master to the midi in of the slave computer, so the master comp. Can tell the slave comp. When to start and stop etc. If you don't have any midi devices you can use, m-audio/ edirol have usb to midi converters which is pretty cheap and will do what you need them to do for your operation.
