I have a slave and a master setup using ethernet, with VE Pro 5 on the slave and Cubase 8.5 Pro (both 64-bit) on the master. I started up VE Pro Server 64-bit on the slave, Cubase connects to it just fine, and I added Berlin Strings legato patch to the slave's VE Pro. When I play my keyboard, I get a sound, but it's very distorted and no cracks.
I updated the ethernet card drivers, and changed buffer settings, but no success. It doesn't seem like buffer problem, because the sound is distorted very heavily, but actually doesn't crack. I disabled Antivirus and firewalls for both machines, but didn't help. Also tested with Asio Guard and without, no success.
I don't know, what to do check next. Any ideas?
Systems specs:
- Master: i7 5820k, 32gb RAM, Windows 7 64-bit, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
- Slave: i7 4970k, 32gb RAM, Windows 7 64-bit
