External MIDI Clock with no good syncing.

Post by z3ro » Mon Nov 15, 2010 12:58 pm

Hi guys,
I'm trying to sync two Mac laptops via Ethernet/WiFi. I already read discussions on this forum and other website and I have only a question:

If i sync the two laptops via WiFI, on the "slave" computer the BPM is boucing around (es. if the master is set to 120 bpm, the slave will bounce between 118/119 and 121/122 bpm).

If i connect the laptops via Ethernet through a router the BPM is more accurate but it still bounce.

Is there a solution or i have to use MIDI cables?

In the Ableton's FAQ i saw this: http://www.ableton.com/pages/faq/midi_sync#faq_6_link but even with the lowest buffer size on both laptops the sync isn't correct at all...

Thank you very much!
