  • VI Using 2 Macs

    I am looking for the best way to use the VI Collection on 2 Macs.

    1. 2.0 GHz Dual Processors (Logic already loaded) Four 250 GB SATA HD's
    connected

    2. Mac Pro 3.0 (Logic already loaded) Four 500 GB internal SATA HD's

    Do I need 2 monitors, one for each computer?

    Should I ditch one of the Logic's and use Plogue Bidule on one of the machines?

    Do I connect the computers via Ethernet or MIDI, or both?

    I am looking for an effective solution, after reading a number of posts on this forum and others. I have even read the (Studio Farms) article in the April/May 2006 edition of "Virtual Instruments" and still, I ask these questions, as I do not have a server, nor do I use PC's. I will be using Logic in my host DAW, and I want to use the second Mac in the most effective way; weather it be hosting a number of VI's or that a much more.

    I need suggestions and perhaps some definitive guidance.

    Peace,
    GF
