It looks like I might be able to get a very cheap PC from a housemate who's upgrading his.
AMD 1.3 ghz
256ram
I have a laptop
P4 2.4
512mb ram
40gig HDD
firewire audiophile sound card
and I use Live4, with vsti's, two external synths and a groovebox and every so often reason in rewire.
I really need more HDD space, so I was thinking of putting a one gigabit lan card in both machines and networking them with a 200gih 7200rpm HDD in the desktop. Do you think that would be fast enough to use for audio if it was in an older 1.3Ghz PC and accessed over a lan?
What else or what is the best way of using it? It'd be great if it could be used to take some of the vsti's I use of my laptops cpu. Can you rewire over lan?
ways of combining two PC's in studio
Check out fxteleport.
Windows XP, Live 5.2, Pro Tools LE 7.1cs7, Reason 3.0.4, M-Audio Delta 410, MBOX, Synthmaker
You can't rewire over LAN, but fxteleport is as close as you can get.
I would actually start out by using it for rompler stuff that really taxes your harddrive. Using some of those vsti-synth racks for your computer would obviously save you loads of cpu cycles compared to using live as a host as well.
