Re: Using VEP6 with two Macs to offload CPU ??
I just noticed on the VEP website that if you prefer order VEP7 it will give you access to download and install VEP6.
Does this mean that I can use VEP6 until VEP7 becomes available? That is good! |

I'd like to know more of what's in version 7 but think I'll take a leap of faith and jump on it at the reduced upgrade price. And thanks for the birthday well-wishes. |

Re: Using VEP6 with two Macs to offload CPU ??
I was on the phone with Apple this morning and they say I can update to Sierra but my machine will go no higher.
I am happy with this as it gets me away from El Capitan and is only 2 behind current OS. Great introduction price for VEP7 so going to go with that. I emailed them and they say they do not have a release date yet but I will be able to install VEP6 in the meantime. I also explained to them the setup I am hoping to have and they responded with this: Regarding the question about the licenses: This depends on your setup. If you use VE Pro 7 on one computer only, you will only need one license. If you want to use VE Pro in a network, you will need additional licenses which you can purchase at a reduced price. For a network setup: Every computer that runs a VE Pro SERVER (and lets you load plug-ins in that server) will need one license and one ViennaKey or other USB eLicenser (you can also use a Steinberg Key, if you already have one or can get it faster). You will NOT need a ViennaKey on your master computer if you don’t plan to use the VE Pro Server on the master computer. The VE Pro plug-in that connects from your sequencer to the available servers in your network does not need a license to run. Any further thoughts? |

The latter is something I don't think we touched on - which screen is going to be easier for you to work on long-term? |

Re: Using VEP6 with two Macs to offload CPU ??
I was thinking of running the iMac as the main computer and the MBP as the sever.
iMac with Pro Tools on it. MPB with all the EWQL on it as PLAY is a bit of a sucker for the CPU and load them all through VEP7. iMac with NI Komplete and all Waves on it. Unless you think the MPB could handle EWQL & NI?? I was going to do screen share so I could quickly switch between them. |

Do when I am loading and NI plugin, I load it through VEP7 even though it is on the iMac? Just trying to fully understand! Yeah, two licences and two keys. |

What about all the Waves plugins?
Where are they best sitting? |

Something we haven't talked about is if VEPro works okay with offline bounce/freeze/commit and I do not know the answer to that one. |

Although, my main reason for doing this is to save CPU so hopefully with this new setup, it will not be needed as much. |
