Does anyone now of any alternatives to fxteleport, something that works, hardware / software, that makes one able to run more vst plugins, and i am not considering v-stack, or fxfreeze, as alternatives.

Hi i Am Drinelli
Does anyone now of any alternatives to fxteleport, something that works, hardware / software, that makes one able to run more vst plugins, and i am not considering v-stack, or fxfreeze, as alternatives.

The only other alternative would be a DSP card like the Powercore or UAD-1, but they wont help you run your existing VSTs, just the ones written specifically for them.
Or upgrade your system.
Apart from that FXTeleport, to me, seems the best way to do it...

There's MidiOverLan. You'll need a second PC with soundcard, and VST(i) host.drinelli wrote:Hi i Am Drinelli

Yikes, how right you are flugel'; I'd completely forgotten 'bout that sort of thing.
There's also one that MusicLab do, and I think both TobyBear and someone at SmartElectronix have experimental free proggies that do this as well.
As flugel points out the other PC(s) will need soundcards...

Well that gives me some clue
But midi over lan what kind of host would i need? would v stack do the job, and could i get away using a AC 93 built in sound card in the second pc. I guess when no one asks why i can`t use FX Teleport, that means others also having big problems with it or what? I know this is not a hardware site/forum but are there not any hardware solutions that might do the job, fully integratable to host (vst plugins Not powercore, etc.) maybe something that doesn`t Need High db to function, i once read of some device that use something called a lightpibe, or lightpibe technologi but can`t recall where i read it, and what the company whas called, but it was slightly cheaper than a new pc, and did not need any screen. But i also know it was not explained that much, that i could find out what it all was about, do any of you know something.

drinelli quoth Well that gives me some clue

Another PC running something like Chainer or energyXT would do it, as long as its got ethernet.
would v stack do the job
I thought you said 'no' to v-stack?
and could i get away using a AC 93 built in sound card in the second pc.
Possibly, but I'd suspect latency was shit in comparison to a decent card. The audiophile 24/96 just dropped in price about 40% (to £70) I'd say that was a decent low-latency, high-quality choice.
I guess when no one asks why i can`t use FX Teleport, that means others also having big problems with it or what?
Nope, I hadnt even wondered why you said that.
]i] I know this is not a hardware site/forum but are there not any hardware solutions that might do the job, fully integratable to host (vst plugins Not powercore, etc.)[/i]
The only thing that will run PC VST plugins is a PC. The Muse Receptor (and things like it) are clever PC things that pretend not to be PC's, but actually they are. There's no non-PC solution.
maybe something that doesn`t Need High db to function
dB = decibels which is a measure of sound pressure. That has no actual meaning in this context, so whatever you think you mean, Im sorry I dont understand what it is.
i once read of some device that use something called a lightpibe, or lightpibe technologi but can`t recall where i read it, and what the company whas called, but it was slightly cheaper than a new pc,
Lightpipe, AFAIK, is just another word for an ADAT optical audio interface. It doesnt replace a PC, it'd be an interface in another PC.
The fact that its digital and optical, though, means the signal between systems doesnt go through two unnecessary stage of digital-to-analog then analog-to-digital conversion - its digital-to-difital.
and did not need any screen.
No, thats not lightpipe.
But i also know it was not explained that much, that i could find out what it all was about, do any of you know something.
I think there's some confusion here. Lightpipe would basically be a means of sending audio between two PC's; it doesnt replace the PC.

When speaking of something that is not a pc, i mean something like a pc but without the interface of an pc, like an external cpu box, if that is possible, with some kind of clever device that integrates the processing power of that unit with the main computer, and that is where this light pibe connection comes in to place.
Regarding the latency, that could be fixed with a program i think is called Asio4all, the audiophile would not be easy to squeeze in to a laptop, and the extra soundcard was actually the thing i would like to avoid, to keep down costs, most power for the money, you know. I do think it Doesn`t sound like it was a siencefictional thing, You know something could look good on paper and not in the real world. That i learned with FX teleport, i did not quite get the picture, did you know that program.

The closest thing to that is the Muse Receptor. There was another, similar device, but it seems to have vanished.
Its basically just a PC in a rackmount box, with MIDI and a soundcard though.

Thats not quite how it works, Im afraid.
and that is where this light pibe connection comes in to place.
No, lightpipe is still just a means of transferring audio (in digital form) between two soundcards.
Regarding the latency, that could be fixed with a program i think is called Asio4all,
I dont believe so. I dont think its capable of improving the latency of a soundcard, just making it look as though it has ASIO drivers.
the audiophile would not be easy to squeeze in to a laptop, and the extra soundcard was actually the thing i would like to avoid, to keep down costs, most power for the money, you know.
Fair enough.
I do think it Doesn`t sound like it was a siencefictional thing,
Its not, but except for FXTeleport everything else does actually rely on a second soundcard (optical or analogue), Im afraid. Nothing else transmits audio over ethernet.
You know something could look good on paper and not in the real world. That i learned with FX teleport, i did not quite get the picture, did you know that program.
I never got a chance to play with the demo properly, but I know a couple of people seemed to be quite happy with it...
Whats your problem with it? Have you spoken to Max about it?

Sorry i can`t find out what has been posted first, but Toby Bears creation would that be considered a non unstable Program I mean can it be better than FX Teleport, or rather is it better than that and what does it do better. it`s a free program right, some free programs do perform a good job indeed i know, but it seems to be a difficult area.

It'll transmit MIDI across ethernet. Audio you'll still have to route via soundcards, and you'll need a host on the second PC.
knowing Toby its prbably fairly good in terms of stability, but he's not guaranteeing better than alpha-release status....
