7. Open the Sends rack for the track in the Inspector or the MixConsole.
8. Open the Send Routing pop-up menu for one of the sends and select the VST System
Link bus assigned to the effect.
9. Use the Send slider to adjust the amount of effect as usual.
RESULT
The signal will be sent to the track on computer 2 and processed through its insert effect,
without using any processor power on computer 1.
You can repeat the steps above to add more effects to the virtual effect rack. The number of
effects available this way is only limited by the number of ports used in the VST System Link
connection, and by the performance of computer 2.
Recording Tracks on Other Computers
You can record tracks on another computer. This is useful if the hard drive on one computer is
not fast enough to run as many audio tracks as you need.
PROCEDURE
Add tracks on another computer and record on them.
RESULT
This creates a virtual RAID system, with several disks all operating together. All tracks will remain
locked together just as tightly as if they were all running on the same machine.
Playing Back Video on Other Computers
You can play back video on another computer to free up resources for audio and MIDI
processing on your main CPU. This is useful as playback of high-resolution video can be quite
demanding on the CPU.
PROCEDURE
Move video tracks to another computer.
RESULT
Since all transport commands respond on the VST System Link computers, scrubbing video is
possible even when it is coming from another computer.
When scrubbing, the playback on the linked systems may not be perfectly in sync. Also, there are
some further restrictions when scrubbing via VST System Link:
Always use the system where you started scrubbing to control the scrubbing.
Changing the scrub speed on a remote system will only change the speed on the local
system.
You can start playback on all systems.
This stops scrubbing and enters playback on all systems in sync.
