hey, i was wondering if anyone could give me some steps on how to sync two laptops together? I know that it's possibly and fairly easy to do but we have been having some troubles, I think there is something we are not getting.

our setup is:
2 macbook pro laptops (one running live 6 one running live 5)
Version 5 laptop has an m-audio firewire410 , the version 6 laptop has an m-audio midisport2X2.

I know that we have to set one laptop as the master and one as the slave, but we're not sure exactly who should be running the midi out or in? we're also not sure which things to select in abletons preferences (i believe there is remote, track, sync)?

anyone help would be MUCH appreciated!

thanks

    The computer that's set to be the master should have the midi out. And I think both are set to sync, but I'm a little fuzzy on that.

      Yeah...it was quite the adventure for Dav and I to learn how to synch stuff up...especially since I was on Live and he was on Logic! Talk about a nightmare. The Live setup you'll need is on the other forum though if you need it. =)
