2 laptops live+reason not synchron?!

Post by farbrauschen » Wed Oct 15, 2003 8:55 am

we are playing with 2 laptops, live and reason 2.5.
when the master stops to restart (1.1.1), the slave is at 1.1.3.
and after some seconds the 2 laptops are not synchron anymore...

the master has a good soundcard, the slave just the original soundcard, maby that´s the problem?

has anybody an idea for that problem?

you should try with no synchro, that's what we do, it works fine, sometimes after a while it starts loosing the synch, but you easily get back in!!! once we did that during a two hour live act and one of us just had to stop and start 2 or 3 times...

What OS and what Live Version are you using?
We run two Powerbooks (867MHz, X10.2.5 and 667MHz, X10.2.5, 768MB Ram each, Live 2.1.2) in MIDI Sync and starting with Live 2.something it was OK, it didn´t work with 1.5, though.

We wouldn´t want to perform with two hand-synced machines, but if it works for you it should be OK.

We did it on os9 and osx, using live 2.02 then 2.1.2, but i haven't tried with live 3, there shouldn't be any problem, should there?
we did it for almost 2 hours with a little start and from one of us from time to time (3 times or something)
At the mutek this years they were 6 jamming this way, it was called NAROD NIKI, check out the website of mutek:

http://www.mutek.ca/fest2003/index_en.html

Narod Niki is the brainchild of a group of artists feverish with inspiration, an insanely inspired idea that was undoubtedly conceived in the wee hours of the morning…. The premise is simple: there are many talented artists who love to gather to collaborate but the occasions to do so are rare. Therefore they conspired to envision a fluid structure allowing the involvement of various artists in a variety of production, remixing, and performance projects. Narod Niki crystallizes this intent by gathering an indefinite and open collective of musicians who share the same taste for a rhythmic and playful style of music perfect for night’s deepest hour. They also share a collective expertise (as well as audio files) in a combined effort where each artist’s individual identity dissolves to benefit the collective. The name Narod Niki references the students and professors who traveled Russia teaching the peasants to read and to understand the basis of the revolution. For their first public appearance, Narod Niki brings together Ricardo, Thomas, Martin, Daniel, Jean-Guillaume, Marc, Lucien, and Richie. (So much for the clues!)[/url]
