![]() Here's an old post with a screen grab of my older, 24-output setup, showing how the Auxes for stem sub masters and individual per-stem reverbs and delays are set up. But if you plan wisely you might only need 8-16 stereo stems or even less. Pro Tools non HD has an input limit of 32 channels. Otherwise there are plenty of well tested solutions available like adat/madi/analog etc. You can also use this approach to set up sample playback computers to stream samples in realtime without VEP plugin in daws. Pretty revolutionary if you don't need to involve output gear and don't need separate multi channel audio interfaces on all computers. You can add as many computers via network as needed and stream audio between them. In your composing daw route tracks or aux tracks to DVS channels and on your stem DAW set the inputs of tracks or aux tracks to DVS channels. Open the DAW on the stem recording mac and set its input audio interface to that newly created aggregate device. Set its output to the new aggregate device. On your composing Mac open your DAW like Logic. (put the audio interface monitoring outputs first, followed by DVS)Īlso in AudioMidi setup create network midi devices to send and receive midi between both computers if you need. ![]() 32x32, open AudioMidi Setup and create a new aggregate device with your audio interface and DVS on each system. On both Macs start DVS, set its audio channel count to a number of choice i.e. Install DVS and if needed Dante Controller on both systems. You could purchase a copy of Dante Virtual Soundcard (download the trial first to see how it works!). You could also print from logic on one mac to logic on another mac.Īnyways. So you own pro Tools already? Does it need to be pro tools? Do you have a multi channel audio interface on both macs? Most people use pro tools to be compatible with their surroundings like scoring and mixing stages. Now I'm using a MOTU 112d on Logic and an Avid MADI interface on the PT machine so I have up to 64 channels going across, but the principle is the same. This is from my older rig, where I used 24 channels of ADAT outs from Logic to get to my old ProTools HD3 rig. Still, the old way has worked for 20+ years so why change? I don't use MIDI timecode from PT to Logic, but I probably could. I send actual LTC timecode on an XLR mic cable from the Avid Sync HD peripheral to the timecode input on a Unitor midi interface and Logic locks up in less than a second. I only run Protools when actually printing, and only hit play in Protools when I need to hear the end of one cue playing from PT while it overlaps with the beginning of the next cue that I'm working on in Logic. I only fire up ProTools when it's time to begin printing mixes. This way I don't need to have ProTools running and in input monitoring mode just to hear sound. So basically, each Bus/Aux goes to a hardware output in order to get it over to ProTools, and ALSO they all combine via sends to create a composite mix right inside Logic - it's this composite mix that goes to my speakers. (All of my busses and Auxes are in groups of six because I'm in surround). Sends on those Aux objects are set to unity gain and route to busses 1-6 these represent the composite mix. Then I have a bunch of Aux objects whose inputs are those busses, and whose outputs are hardware outs 7 through 48. This solution is fast, elegant, and means I don't have to import movies into Logic.įor printing over to ProTools, each instrument or audio track in Logic gets routed to a bus - each bus represents a stem. I believe it will also slave to MMC commands so that you can scrub and single-frame in Logic and VideoSlave will scrub alongside, but I've never needed this so I can't confirm. It receives MTC over Apple's Network MIDI and locks up in less than a second - basically instantly. ![]() I host the video on a third machine, a 2012 Mac Mini with i7 and internal SSD, running VideoSlave software from non-lethal-applications. You can also host the video on a standalone software. One thing that drove me crazy was that the start stop of the slave DAW was slow. Its pretty easy in terms of setting it up once you have the hardware. in pro tools you select the input to be 3-4 and name it string stem. so in logic you group the strings output to a bus and on that bus you select the output to go to channel 3-4 of your hardware. then you have to sync the playback with mmt/mmc. I know there is dante via which is audio Ethernet but I haven't tried it yet.Īs to how to do it, you have your DAW (logic) audio hardware to have outputs being routed to the audio hardware of pro tools in another computer. M audio Lightbridge with adat ins outs worked fine but its not as many inputs as madi.
