Digi 001 on a network setup?
 

Can anyone tell me if Pro Tools LE will work as part of a network? I have asked my local tech shops and have been told yes and no. My problem, I have one setup with a 001 in my home studio for recording and another with Tool Box XP in my home office. I want to be able to record on one setup and mix/edit on the other but I don't want to deal with burning session files to disk and transfer them via CDR. It would be easier to add the 001 system to the existing network. Can this be done? Please help. as of now I'm quickly running out of CDRWs.

Chris,
If by 'network' you mean ethernet (my assumption) then I've got networking enabled in my machine and am having no problems if I do one important thing - UNPLUG MY ETHERNET CABLE WHEN RECORDING! This simple operation allowed my to get from a lot of PCI and interrupt problems to very few.

Obviously you won't be doing a lot of netwoking while doing the work, so you can plug things back in when you need to move files or do other things.

Go for it.

I run my system on a network and I just toggle the enable/disable on the network card in my Windows system device manager. There are no interrupts once it is disabled.

I also disable my ethernet card when I use PTLE. I don't even have to restart when I disable or enable the card to get an IP address.
If you unplug the cable you are still using the same system resources that you were using when the cable was plugged in.
