syncing master clock to another laptop

ello,

U guys are great!

I gotta ask a very important question that I think my help out others too.

u see I have this problem and don’t know how to fix it.

I’ve searched around but could not find an answer.

so here it goes,

I am currently syncing ableton and s4/ traktor pro 2 up perfectly through this great method which can be found here:

Boom! BAm
Thank you endo!

However, I have another mac book (computer 2) that I want to slave (sync) ableton too the (computer 1) one that is running the masterclock with traktor and ableton.
and I don’t know how to do it.

or in other words,

Just like ableton is now slaved to the traktor’s master clock,
I want to slave the other computer with ableton to the master clock of traktor or ableton. (macs)

Does anyone around here know if this can be done?

ANY help is much appreciated!

easy just use network over midi if you are on mac
i use it and works fine no drift or anything
you can use adhoc network or Ethernet both work

when there ad-hoc’d together does the other mac just appear in the directory list in the audio midi set up window (below where is says my sessions)?

is it that easy? iv been wanting to try this with my mate for ages, two traktors on two macs.

yeah i have done it with 2 macs using ableton and traktor pro 1 and 2
its easy to set up and i never had any problems with drift or whatever
everything has stayed perfectly in sync

If you dont know how to set up midi/audio session’s then just read this
as i say its easy,fast and works
