Pro Tools Answers #54 | Syncing Multiple Pro Tools Systems

An email from one of our channel subscribers caught the attention of the PTA in this week's episode. In a question sparked by a previous episode's discussion on syncing two Pro Tools systems (many thanks Don!), David asks how we can use a separate PC to host Virtual Instruments. It's not too complicated when you think about the signals involved but the PTA talk through the complexities of it.
And, to paraphrase the famous mathematician Ian Malcolm - just because we can do a thing, should we stop to consider whether we should do the thing!
The PTA get into it....
