[QUOTE="Josh Millward, post: 96557, member: 970"] Re: CL5 and Nuendo Live If you mean it is better in that environment, then you are right. A corporate network is a constantly changing environment. Your audio system probably isn't. I know I like to test things before I toss them into my system, so I'll use that opportunity to work it into the IP addressing scheme. Right, so this is one more piece of gear I have to have in the system AND I have to make sure it is up and online before I power anything else up. Oh, and what if I have more than one WiFi router with DHCP turned on in the system?
