From: Neil Rutman on 28 Nov 2009 00:11 I have CH Horns Vol 1 & 2. IMHO it's a PITA to use on the same machine as host program. It loads slow and is a cpu hog. I installed on another machine and it works fine. The samples are very good and there are plenty of articulations to help make for realistic sounding parts. Horns are always a lot of work if it's going to be a pretty upfront part. It's tough to do with midi but it can be done if you put in the time to craft the part properly. Don't know mojo but CH horns will get the job done.

Can I ask, how are you connecting the second machine to your primary workstation? I know there's more than one way to do this, but I've never had to do it before. And, before you say it, I know . . . the first step is to format a drive in NTFS and install Windows . . . 8-) bzb -- THE SONG FACTORY Words and Music, made to order(TM) WWW: http://www.thesongfactory.com

Glennbo, is this something that needs to be networked with software, or do the machines simply 'see' each other over the ethernet connection. My home network is set up so that no machines can see other machines so my kid doesn't get too far ahead of me . . . (not hard to do) Sorry for the newbie questions, but this is an(other) area I'm not knowledgable in. Thanks for your patience. bzb -- THE SONG FACTORY Words and Music, made to order(TM) WWW: http://www.thesongfactory.com
From: Tom B on 28 Nov 2009 21:21 This is the entire text from the manual.. I'm not sure if they mean DXi and VSTi or simply regular effects. I might give this a shot and see if it would allow me to run S2 as a slave so my Laptop could be freed up for the basics. There's still the issue of WiFi though. Ben, I'm thinking you would not have to make your PC's any more "visible". They are still able to see each other at a level outside Windows and ReaMote probably communicates on that level. 22.1ReaMote ReaMote is REAPER's network FX functionality. It allows you to have any FX chain in your project processed on a remote machine on your local network. This is very useful if you have a lot of CPU consuming effects and want to add more CPU power to your project without upgrading your main host's CPU. To set up ReaMote, simply install REAPER and whatever plug-ins you need on the slave machines. Run the ReaMote slave on the slave machines, then enable ReaMote in the REAPER Preferences on the master, and you're ready to go!
