2 pc linked togheter,I have this crazy idee?!!!!

Well I have 2 pc's:A pentium 3 500 with a pulsar 1 card,a pentium 850 with boath a pulsar 1 and an xtc card.Ilinked them togheter with the adat outs and ins,works great specialy when i use the p 500 as a sampler and synth machine and thep 850 with the pulsar mixer and effects.
the negative side is that i have to make 2 projects,one on each machine.
I can live with that,but sometimes it is a bit confusing.
So I had this crazy idea:A special kind of stdm cable or link-board.So I only have to make one project or make of the 2+1 card behave like one 14 dsp card on 2 pc's with the scope software. YOu get the point? Crazy???

Doubt that will work... why don't you just put them in one single machine?

No offence, but.. it's Poco Loco.

yes, it's a bit crazy. You got a nearly perfect setup and want make it more complicated. You treat one machine as a recorder/mixer and the other as midi equipped synth/sampler. This couldn't be more straight forward.

Actually I wish it were possible to link two computers together, not just for audio but for everything. It would be the cheapest way to dramatically and significantly improve performance. A newer computer is faster but never doubles the performance unless your computer is 10 years old.

sync midi and he's got that.(of course,that means two sequencers.)

Don't know if it's available yet but Steinberg's VST System Link will be interesting.

I have 2 Pc's, each with Creamware cards. They're connected via ADAT. I use ONE pc for sequencing, the other (dual PIII & most DSP) is my sounds machine and mixer. It's controlled via midi.

I tried to sync for a while, but sync is never tight enough. Now, all those problems are gone... Rebirth and Reason do sync alright, but Cubase doesn't follow the Master Cubase so well.
