Conguring a Main Mix Computer
Conguring one computer as a main mix computer that receives the audio from your other
computers allows you to mix internally in the computer.
In the following example, we assume you are using 2 computers: computer 1 as your main mix
computer and computer 2 for 2 additional stereo audio tracks, an FX channel track with a reverb
plug-in and a VST instrument plug-in with stereo outputs.
PROCEDURE

On computer 1, use an unused set of outputs, such as an analog stereo output, connected to
your monitoring equipment to listen to the audio playback.
