Rewire (or sync) between two laptops

[Machinate]

have you tried musiclab's "midi over lan CP" ?
it works with any software / platform
I use it and it is brilliant.

it's also 129$....

Ive tried the trial version.

Works great with two PCs on XP PRO SP1.

I CANT get it to work with PC & MAC OS10.3.2

So , so far i wont be purchasing the full version, until i can get MAC to PC Ableton LIVE sync working.

would you seriously pay 129$?!?!? You could buy four midi interfaces and sync up the whole world with that kind of money!

Okay, i got the mac/pc sync working.
Heres how:

I had to put the midioverlan CP program in the mac OS startup folder, so the program starts with the computer (like hardware). SORTED.


Yeah $129 is a bit steep, i wonder if i could just download another 14 day trial when this one runs out - until i can find a more economical solution?

Hope this helps someone.

has anyone done this with Live 4 (powerbook and ibook sync)?
how does it work? any tricks?

rewire via firewire would be handy. especially considering that any mac that can run OSX has a firewire port.

I synced noisetonepause's ibook to my IBM using a *standard* usb midi interface. You can buy those used for a tenner...
