VST system link...

[kristofason]

Has anyone had any experiences with doin it?? it seems like its a waste to just discard my old desktops...

[thomasjaldemark]

exactly what do you mean?

[kristofason]

linking 2 soundcards through cubase sx (for example),one master,one or more as slaves.

Unless you chaining them for I/O i just cant understand what you can benefit from 2 soundcards.

[re.vise]

2 times better sound!!!

[kristofason]

chaining 2 different machines together through SDIF,ADAT or whatever.
here look...

VST System Link has been designed to be simple to set up and operate,
yet give enormous flexibility and performance gains in use. It is capable
of linking computers in a “ring” network (the System Link signal
is passed from one machine to the next, and eventually returns to the
first machine). VST System Link can send its networking signal over
any type of digital audio cable, including S/PDIF, ADAT, TDIF, or AES,
as long as each computer in the system is equipped with a suitable
ASIO compatible audio interface.
So, why would you want to link up two or more computers? Well, the
added computer power gives you vast possibilities:
• Dedicate one computer to running VST instruments while recording audio
tracks on another.
• If you need lots of audio tracks, you may simply add tracks on another computer.
• You could have one computer serve as a “virtual effect rack”, running CPUintensive
send effect plug-ins only.
• Since you can use VST System Link to connect different VST System Link applications
on different platforms, you can take advantage of effect plug-ins
and VST instruments that are specific to certain programs or platforms.

I know this would be good and why not try it if ive got a spare machine and soundcard? I just wondered if anyone had tried it or knew anyone that had
