Ok I've got two computers and I wanna use them both. The G5 will run the basic Tracktion mix and it will send the output of an Aux return track to an ADAT lightpipe. The G4 running a second copy of Tracktion will receive this Aux audio on an ADAT input and process it through a few Altiverbs (you can use up to 8 channels of ADAT on one pipe). Then the G4 will use the same procedure to send the reverbed audio back to the G5. My question is: will track "advance" be able to compensate for the rather long latency the audio will suffer in this round trip? In other words, does the advance funtion work by delaying all other Tracktion tracks so that the advanced track appears to advance? This seems like the only way you could have a track advance function that actually works. So I'm thinking that I can use "advance" to compensate for the inherent delay of sending audio from one computer to the other. Has anybody run external reverb units in Tracktion and used this method to compensate for latency? Any thoughts?

Gee I think I answered my own goofy question. If "advance" delays the original tracks that are feeding the reverb send in the first place, then you can't ever catch up by using "advance." I guess the only thing that might work is to create an actual copy of the audio track you want to put reverb on and then advance that audio by the amount of latency incurred during the round trip between computers. Or you could just not worry about the latency and let it serve as a predelay for the reverb. What's a reverb without a little predelay anyway?
