Sync Two Macs Ableton Player
I've done this before, and I can figure it out - just hoping someone here can save me a few hours.
I want to SLAVE my Mac Pro tower running PTLE 003R (with Logic, Live, Reason) from my PC running Sonar w/ a RME 9652 card and various USB to Midi interfaces. Currently from inside Sonar on the PC I am transmitting MTC/MMC via USB Midi to a Novation SL-Zero which then transmits the midi via a standard midi cable into the PT 003R where I can see the clocking sync on the front panel. From there, getting the software on the Mac Pro Tower to recognize and respond to the incoming midi sync is the issue. I'll take feedback on Pro-Tools 8, Logic 9, Live 8 and Reason 4. I feel like I'm overlooking one obvious sub menu dialog check box to get it all to work... thanks

Hi!Several years ago I tried syncing two PC's using System Link which was introduced by Steinberg ages ago. Before that I tried every available sync protocol to make this work without success. Systemlink (PC's connected via SPDIF) kept stable for about 45 mins and there was no way to get it back working after that. Those 45 mins were awesome. I did beats while my friend was doing basslines etc. So there is lots of sense in having two machines running Live in Sync. Now my question is if there is any way to make this happen with Ableton Live (about 100 years later after Steinberg introduced the very unsuccessful system link)? Help is appreciated. How To Sync Two MacsI have got another question regarding syncing. I have a mac at home for music and one in my office. The office one has several partitions (one for office work and one for music). Does anyone know if it is possible to keep my music partition and the mac at home in sync using a time machine backup on a nas which both machines have access to? So that I could open the music system in my office and have the stuff on it i did the last day on my mac at home. Sync Two Macs Ableton 10CheersComments are closed.
