I have 2 ultralite mk4 (8 ch) connected to one Radial SW8 (A 1st MK4, B 2nd MK4) with 2 macminis (2014 i7, 16GB)with Dp8 on Yosemite. I start and stop playback with JLCooper MCS2 controller. Years ago I had a similar system where MIDI signal (note signal) from MCS2 was split through MIDI THRU box to Ultralites MIDI INs. It as working before but was not perfect. Playback is not continuous throughout the show. Its song based. Some songs don't have playback others do so I start every song and when it finishes stop it and start times and pauses are not always the same.
1. What solution for playback sync would you recommend? I need two machines to start perfectly in time and run simultaneously. I will do manual switching on sw8 if one machine fails. Simply put when I press play on MCS2 I want both computers to start playing in perfect sync.
2. Considering I just use DP to playback tracks, I don't need on the fly editing or FX, what is the best MacOS and DP version? I was working 11 years with DP 5.13 on Snow Leo and it was rock solid.
Thanks
Sync playback 2 macminis, sw8, 2 ultralite
