Linking computers

[sunsetsoneuropa]

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to link two computer to basically record through one and it sends the information to the other one in real time? OR Can anyone tell me how to export a project in separate tracks. Everytime we copy the project and send it to a flash drive when i open it in my computer it is missing the wav files to the project so there is no sound. I owuld rather the second since it would be easier and less stressful on one pc.

Network the two computers together and share the folders.

If you are trying to export an entire session, the simplest way is probably an OMF export. Another route is to save an archive in a new folder. Then you can simply move that folder to another computer. When you open the Cubase file you'll have to tell Cubase where the new audio folder is but that's no big deal.

The issue of combining computers is one we get here often and to my knowledge no one has made any ground with it.

Yeah i just moved the complete file over to a flash drive.

Here is a link that shows how to configure filesharing.

Share the folder on the file server and map the share on the recording computer.

Then configure your recording program to use the mapped share for the project files.

not sure if my setup would have any relevance for what your trying to do but i actually do run two computers one for tracking and one for an effects rack the second is basically set up like outboard gear via adat connection between two seperate layla 3g's connected independantly to the two computers ie one to each. works excessively well for me. keep in mind that this is my big studio set up and not my home recording setup (just a pc and a firestudio) but through that set up i can do any number of things such as creating aux sends to the effects rack group channels ect as well as sending individual wavs to the second computer for processing in say melodyne or through that machine through my outboard gear and back into the primary computer say for a group drum track to fatten them up. lots of ideas possible with that set up. perhaps this will help you or someone else.
