[Atahualpa]

Hi,
I am collaborating with a friend on an electronic music project, now, he works on a PC and Cubase, I work on DP4.52 and Mac. If we decided to use only one computer on a live performance (to have a unique internal clock), could we keep separated audio track versions of his and my tunes so that we could mix them in real time (mixing within each tune and against eachother for continuity)? In this case what kind of platform would be use to montage his and my material (which I guess would be an array of audio tracks)? The other only possiblility I see is creating MP3s of his and my stuff, but in this case we would have a much smaller maneouver margin, since we could mix the tunes against eachother using a virtual mixer like Traktor DJ, but we could not manipulate induividual tracks within each tune during the gig.

I hope my above description is clear enough and hopefully some of you have already experience on this topic.

Thanx in advance and groove on!!!

I have been doing sort of the same thing with a friend of mine. He is running a PC with Cubase and I'm running Pro Tools LE. We haven't really tried it in a live situation yet but here are some things we encountered. We were either using the usb midi output of my oxgen 8 into him to sync. I don't know much about Cubase but I know when he started to add more synths and FX we sometimes had to slide things around to make them sync. Most of what we did was audio that we were placing on the fly so we both had some stuff beforehand and a little playing synths. I know I need to get more ram and he may need to as well. There is also another program from musiclab called midioverlan cp that would let you send midi on both the mac and pc over a network to each other through ethernet. I don't know if that would be a more reliable source for midi. We haven't tried that yet and it seems that Tiger now has that option integrated into the OS. When it worked it was kind of cool having a little laptop jam session and we've come up with some good stuff we were thinking about trying to keep most of it as audio files and save a little room for shows and certain synths and sounds. We still have some bugs to work out but us putting it together live was also kind of cool and maybe could be part of the situation live. Let me know if you stumble upon any miracle software or ideas.
