Does anyone know about how the AU nodes are implemented? Is it only Logic instruments and plugs, or can you run instances of 3rd party instruments and plugs and things like the UAudio board? And if so, which machine do you install on? ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

In the downloadable manual it explains it. Nodes can process Logic plugs ( with a few exceptions such as exs-24) and can also process 3rd party AU effects plugins (not instruments though). You need your AU plugins installed on the main machine as well as *all* node machines. Also, the AU plugin must be the exact same version in all cases. I'm not sure how the UAD-1 and Powercore plugins will operate in this regard. It does not explicitly say anything about the dsp- based AU plugins. If I had to hazard a guess, I would think that you would need the same plugin versions installed on all machines but also that all node machines would require a DSP card installed with the appropriate plugins licenses authorized too. That's just a guess though. It's not like you're going to get the power of 3 UAD's when you only have one card in your main machine. I can't recall now if it is in the effects manual or the main Logic Studio manual but I believe it was in one of those two that I read it. HTH, Fernstudio

The Logic plugs have already been node-friendly since 7.x. Whats new in L8 in this regard? If you need to install the same plug on two computers, hopefully its serial number - rather than authorization or ilok. With UAudio - I have the PCI version on my G5 but not the PCI express version. So the upgrade is the difference. > In the downloadable manual it explains it.

However, even in 7.x, the exs-24 was not available on a node. > If you need to install the same plug on two computers, hopefully > its serial > number - rather than authorization or ilok. This is up to the plugin manufacturer and not up to Apple since the copy protection scheme is tied to the plugin and not to the host nor the node software. ie, if the plugin is iLok normally, you'll need an iLok on the node machine. > With UAudio - I have the PCI version on my G5 but not the PCI express > version. So the upgrade is the difference. I'm not sure what you're getting at here. It won't matter if you have a PCI version or a PCI Express version. What I think will matter (and I don't know for sure - this is just speculation) is whether you have a UAD card in your host and your node or not. I think that you will need a UAD on each node as well as your host in order for node processing to work. Fernstudio

I also reckon you will need the paid UAD-1 plugins authorised on both cards and because they'll be in separate machines this will mean paying for them twice. Just to be clear this is only my speculation but I would take a small bet on this being the case.
