possible to control pro tools from a remote desktop?

[Dan.TweekStudios]

I've done some research, but haven't been able to find much info on this subject. I have a recording studio a few miles from my house, and just got a brand new Sony Vail laptop. I was trying to find the easiest way to get pro tools on my laptop just so I could work on mixes at home and on the road, I have no need to record on the laptop. I was wondering if instead of installing pro tools on my laptop, and buying a seperate audio interface and having to copy sessions back and forth from laptop to studio computer, if it would he possible to set up a remote desktop program on the studies system, and access it from my laptop at home to run pro tools and do mixes. That way I could access all the sessions on my studio system, all the plug ins, and when I save a session it will save right to the studio system. Does anyone have any experience with remote desktops? Do they react fast enough to run sessions from? Do they have limitations as far as what programs I can run on the host computer? Basically I was hoping that I could open the remote desktop program on my laptop, see the host computer, and use everything exactly how I would if I were at the studio. Is this even possible? Thanks in advance for any help or info. I'm sorry if this topic has been covered before but I wasn't able to locate it.

You could try LogMein Pro and see if the audio works well enough for you. It's about $70 a year.

If you install the free version (LogMein Free) I believe it will ask you if you want a 14 day trial of the Pro version, so this shouldn't cost you anything to see if it works. I'm a little skeptical... but you never know.

I use LogMein Free a lot to support family and friends computer systems, great product.

I think your biggest problem is getting your studio PC on the internet and working correctly with Pro Tools. Unless you're planning to have a non-internet dedicated line from home to the studio I wouldnt attempt it. Just my 2c.

I already have my studio system on the internet. I know its not a greasy idea but I'm extremely careful with downloads. I've got a router with my internet and control 24 plugged in and everything works great. My main concern i guess would be finding a program that can tender the graphics fast enough to rum a remote session.

There's a ton of remote desktop apps out there. I was just wondering if anyone had any experienced running pro tools on one. Ill try out a few and let you guys know how they work. Are they all pretty much the same? Or is there anything spicific I should look for.

What I suggest is to have on premise remote support appliance installed such as Bomgar or RHUB appliances in order to enable remote desktop access and sharing between laptop and studio computer. It works on both, Windows and MAC computers.
