two audio interfaces at the same time with MachFive 2?????
Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:06 pm
Hi folks
I'm a newby so I am seeking some info on a setup I did.
On page 35 of the owners manual of the Motu MachFive 2, they are talking about a "satellite setup".
Since my first setup didn't work out(Cubase5 and MachFive2 as a plugin on the same computer) I decided to try this satellite setup and it worked out fine.
Gear setup:
-Cubase 5 on a Mac mini
-M-audio midisport 2x2
-Motu Ultralite
-Motu 828MkII
-MachFive 2 on a Imac G5
The two interfaces are hooked on the Imac G5
The only problem I'm having is that I want to use my two audio Interfaces (Motu Ultralite & Motu828MKII)so I can have more analog outputs (16 total)at the same time on the MachFive2.
But I noticed that MachFive2 as a stand alone can only be assigned to one audio interface at the time(see page 37) and there is no way to open a second MachFive application so I can assign the other interface to it.
My question is:
-Is there a way to open a second MachFive2 application on one computer?
-If not is there a way around it or do I have to install MachFive2 on a third computer with the second audio interface on it?
-if so will the ilok allow me to use MachFive as a stand alone on both computers in this setup?
Thanks for any given advice and keep up the good work in here!
