File Sync/Management Tool for XP

Post by Live-Life » Fri Sep 23, 2005 2:59 am

Hi
For those of you that have a lappy and desktop (Windows XP), I have found a fantastic intelligent file sync tool from Microsoft called SyncToy.

Even better it is FREE.

SyncToy is one of the most useful utilities I have tried.

I use it to sync music, projects, VSTs, software installation
packages, etc. between main hard drives and external
drives.

problem / synctoy

Post by -Maark- » Fri May 18, 2007 12:52 pm

hi..

I've a big problem with my Ableton Live 6.0.1 (and with the 6.0 too). I use it for djiing, so i use tracks.
I've the same track in the 2 pc and i play djing with 2 pc.
I've a problem with the syncronitation with 2 pc. I've two pc and 2 M-audio Audiophile USB.
I connect toghether with midi cable. and i start ableton.
I go in the preferencs and in audio device i use ASIO in driver tipe and Audiophile usb for the audio output device.
so i go in MIdi Sync and in (control surface i use Evolution uc-33) in input and output i use the two audiophile usb.
In midi port in input e output i mark on track, sync and remote ON.
The last in the general windows i mark EXT and i start the live.
The problem is taht than 1 hour it's not in sync, but if i use only 1 pc this two track it's ok.
There is any note or preferences that i've forgot?


i've read your topic where you hav used synctoy. you think that if i install this sync toy i will not have any problem??

I'm sorry for my english so "poor". I hope you can halp me.

Thank you so much

SyncToy is for synchronizing files and folders, not MIDI or anything audio related. You should start a new thread with this problem.
