audio over network

On the mac connected to your audio interface you would use NetReceive and on the mac you are transmitting your audio from you run NetSend. NetSend is a Audio FX under AU Generators Apple and NetReceive is a software instrument plugin.

I am running Mojave on both macs - ethernet wired together and it works perfectly. You can play and audio file on Mac 2 which actually plays and can be recorded on Mac 1 as well as on Mac 2 having a Software instrument track and playing midi for which the audio is sent to Mac 1.

Edit - I also tested this on a wireless network - works fine!

So you want to send midi data from the master to the slave and have the slave generate the audio based on the instrument selection on the receiving track to then be routed out an audio interface connected to the slave..... Is that correct ?

If not, be very specific what you want to do so I can give you an accurate answer..... If you are now sending midi data instead of audio over the network the answer is different than the above which is for the transmission of audio from one computer to another

in that case you will need to use the midi network setup found in the audio midi setup application.

on the slave in the bottom left corner select "allow anyone to connect" and in the right - give it a bonjour name.

on the host.... create a session ( this name will be the midi port name to send the output to).

then in the directory box you should see the bonjour name of the other computer - select it.

and press connect.... if all works you will see it in the list of participants.

The host machine will then have a midi port named ( what you defined for the session) in logic select this as the output port in the track inspector... record enable that track now. How play and you should see the midi events arrive on the slave computer...

You keep saying audio but it is midi we are routing - so on the slave keyboard create and external midi track (no I/o plugin) and in the track inspector under port select the network sessions name as the output of the track. Select and record enable that track. Now when you play data will be sent over to the master. Make sure on the master you have a track selected that Has a software instrument on it and I believe it is record enabled as well.

confirm the following...

Slave computer has a midi keyboard or controller connected to it.

Master computer has an audio interface/speakers connect to it.

When you play something on the master you hear it out the speakers connected to it

all above correct.

Now open a new logic project on the slave ( add one external midi track only) assign the output port to the network session.

Open a new logic project on the master - create one software instrument track on it - make it a sax.

Record enable both tracks - now when you play on the midi keyboard connected to the slave to you hear the sax on the master?

So, if I understand what you're trying to achieve correctly, all you need to do is connect audio outputs of iMac running Logic in slave mode to an audio input on the interface connected to the iMac running Logic as master. Quite a simple fix indeed. No need to overcomplicate things here.

Hi

On solution is to use Vienna Ensemble Pro
