- How to Use Vep 7 with a slave computer and connect the 2 computer via ethernet.
Cubase 10 is used along with screen sharing in the Mac OS environment. RJ45 cables are shown at the cable modem and the slave computer which is a Macbook Pro in this illustration. - Hudba
Hi Bill I did the setup using a switch and I got some pop and click from PC slave to MacBook Pro M1? Thank you very much for your tutorial.
Make sure your DAW buffer size is large enough.
I assume you have the VSL license(s) on the laptop host, but do you also need a license to run specifically the VSL plugin in the DAW on the piloting computer as well?
Yes, you need a license on the host and any slave computers as well.
Excellent video, William. Thank you for sharing and showing all the steps in quite well detail, really appreciate it. What type of router are you using? Is that a specific brand/model? Thank you!
Also, do you need two Vienna Keys and licenses (one for the master and one for the Slave?) or just the one key and license in the master computer?
Glad it was helpful! Router came with Time Warner.
Yes, you need two licenses.
Bill Great video. I'm still trying to work out how the kontakt library pick up the signal from my DAW, do need to the have the software on both machines ? Or cubase on both machines ?. How do you send the Library, is it just to the slave ? and the directories just to the master ? ,bit confused myself Bill, please could shine a light for please. I have 2 computers win 10 plus 2 dongles Cheers
How do you setup the Cubase audio I/O tracks to route a Kontakt multi setup with instruments sent to several output pairs in an instance of VEP?
hello i wanna ask
what if my master computer is macbook pro m1 8gb ram
and slave is my pc (i7 12700 64 gb)
for the master, which onee do u prefer (mac/pc - asumming on that condition)
I'd use the mac for the master and the pc for the slave. You'll need the 64 gb to host your samples.
so vienna would be a kind of router that uses the kontakt instruments ... and what advantages does this have for an already armed staff?
Vienna Ensemble Pro is the software that links the master computer to the slave computer and enables you to play samples on the slave computer thereby taking the strain of the master computer and allowing you to have larger tracks if needed.
THANKS WILLIAM@@BillMcFadden
Can the two computers be connected and accessed via internet from different locations? Tx
Not sure about that. You should contact support@vsl.co.at
A little confused about the cable hookup,the slave machine is hooked up via rj45 to a router fine what about the master machine? What is the master doing to access the slave is another rj45 involved?
Each machine has an rj45 socket which can go through rj45 hubs as well.
Yes, master computer needs to be also connected via RJ45 cable into switcher hub.
Thanks for the video :). Would you mind telling me the specs of your two computers?
The desktop at the time was a 12 core mac pro 64 gigs mem with 3.2 ghz cpus the other was a laptop i7 mac with 16gb mem.
@@BillMcFadden Thank you so very much!
Is there a reason why a switch is needed and an ethernet cable can't simply be passed from the 10 gig port on my Mac to the 10 gig port on my PC? This is the bit that confuses me. Networking is a total noob area for me unfortunately. Also, it doesn't need internet access, right? Cause my house was built without a single ethernet port, it's all wi-fi, and the structure of the house made it too big a job to even add one port retrofit.
You need an ethernet (RJ45) port on your wireless router which then connects to your computer(s) via the ethernet cable. If you only have one ethernet port on your router, you would need an ethernet switch. Hope this helps.
@@BillMcFadden Well I am out then, I can not run an ethernet cable around the entire house from studio room to router downstairs. That's just the way this house was constructed and I don't live alone, if I did I would do it.
@@teddym2808 Drill a hole? Ethernet cables can be over 100 feet long.
@@BillMcFadden I have had 2 electricians look at it, the job is huge, the house is on concrete slab and it's a big job to add ethernet ports upstairs. Anyway, it's not needed, you don't need internet at all, I have spoken to others since this. Since I am using only one slave, I can connect the Mac to the PC directly via ethernet cable and their in built ports, they are sitting right next to one another, and both have at *least* gigabit ethernet or higher, and I can continue to access internet via wi-fi. No problem at all. I have seen a video of someone doing exactly how I want to and it works perfectly, so I think you may be over complicating things. No ethernet switch, no connection to main router required, nada.
Let me know when you get working
What is the fastest Network speed which Vienna Ensemble Pro will support?
Around a gigabit, or even ten gigabit depending on your hardware.
@@BillMcFadden Really? Wow!
A.) What governs the VEPro Bandwidth in the software?
B.)Do you by any chance know of any videos where they show 10Gbps operation? I've not been able to find any (not doubting you, simply part of my Pre-Sales due diligence research.)
@@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios A. The computer you're using, the software will go to at least 10 gbps. B. My videos on VEP 7 and 6 use 10gbps bandwidth.
