[QUOTE="brian maddox, post: 88749, member: 158"] X32 recording on Two Computers at once for redundancy Subject line says it all. For our church services, I'm currently recording 48 tracks from 2 X32's via FireWire [Aggregate Device] to a Mac using Reaper. I've basically worked out all the bugs with this and it works well. However, I'm a big fan of backups and backups to my backups. Eventually i'm going to get a couple X32 racks and use them for a completely redundancy recording system. In the meantime, I'd like to at least record to two computers simultaneously. So, idea One would be to run my two FireWire cables into two Hubs and use those to split the signals to two computers. No idea if that would work. Just throwing it out there, as i did that with Video over FireWire back in the day and worked just fine. Idea Two would be to somehow access the audio stream from Computer One and Send it over to Computer Two via Ethernet. Anybody got any ideas on how i'd do that little trick? Idea Three would be to get the Lynx AES50 card [i think that's who makes it], and record the AES50 stream since that would support all 48 channels i need. Or i'm open to an Idea Four if someone's got something better to try. As always, since this is a church budget is always an issue. Cheaper beats slicker every time. Thanks for any and all responses. brian [/QUOTE]
