Use Your LAN to Beef Up Your DAW
May 19, 2003
FX Teleport.com has announced the forthcoming release of FX Teleport, a DAW networking solution.
With FX Teleport it's not only possible, but very easy to setup a
DAW on multiple computers connected via a TCP/IP LAN. Working with FXTeleport is
as easy as launching a VST host on one machine and VST instruments and FX on the
others and enjoying the newly configured audio processing farm. You can even
dedicate a whole computer to favorite VST synth. Any effect can now be "teleported" from computer to computer.
Why may one need FX Teleport
- If CPU resource on the main DAW machine is insufficient, one may want to use another machine for the heaviest FX.
- Even if CPU horsepower is sufficient, adding an extra machine will eliminate the peaks of CPU, HD and RAM usage, increasing the reliability of the system.
- Convenience reasons: a dedicated machine means dedicated keyboard, mouse and monitor just for control over FX.
- Overall stability: in case FX plug-in crashes the machine, the host machine with song/the project will remain stable and project won't be lost.
