3 laptop Performance

Post by G-lay » Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:46 pm

Hey there,

Is there a wat to synch three laptops with Live, use one for beats, and the other two for everything else?
There will be one guy behind each laptop

The Laptops will be the latest MacBook Pro 15''

hope to hear some feedback!

cheers,

I tried this two years ago with a project and the final answer I arrived at was NO. However, we discovered that as long as we all had the same tempo it came out sounding pretty good. We were doing drum and bass type stuff with 4 laptops between 160 and 180 bpm.
