MIDI Epiphany

2007-10-11 by pete_buchwald

Hey All,

    I just had an idea, so simple, but never thought before to try it.

    Has anybody ever used MIDI to connect one Logic computer to another?   It seems like, it 
could quickly and easily give you more CPU to deal with some heavy stuff (instruments, 
reverbs, etc.)

    I know you can do CAT 5 between some models of Macs, but thought the MIDI 
interconnection might be worth a try.  I'm maxing out my old dual G4 on every project, and 
any way I can beg, borrow, or steal some more power (without freezing/unfreezing/
freezing ... takes a long time) I'll do it.

    Just do the work on separate computers, and bounce tracks down and move to the single 
computer whenever you're ready.  Or use an external mixer to sum.

   I could probably find uses for my old G3 even with MIDI connectivity, make it earn it's keep 
beyond educational video games for my toddlers.

    Pete
