Just wanted to start a new thread on this. Anyone using FX Teleport and care to share some experience?

I think the basic idea here is that you have a VST host wrapper, and that wrapper has a network back end. Very cool.

Audiomidi commented on this topic a bit:

If you get away from the VST concept, then you are basically into the world of streaming audio. That's a large topic in itself.

Some nice usage examples are here in the FX Forum:

A friend of mine have tried FX-teleport a couple of month ago. I went to his studio and he showed me a huge reaktor session. Very impressive. I don't know if he still use it, I'll ask.

I use actually 2 rack PC linked via GigabitLan.
Both with Creamware Scope system.

One as Host with Cubase SX 3.1 only for multitrack and effets (VST, UAD-1 and Creamware XTC) purpose.

The other PC, as Slave, is only with FX Teleport application, a lot of VSTi synths and, in background, the Scope 4.5 OS with S'n'S pack and alot of other free stuff: is all similar to an extrernal midi rack mega-synthesizer!

The midi stream (needed for Scope Synths use) between the 2 PC is managed from MidiOverLan, that don't have any conflict with FX teleport.

The audio stream between the 2 PC is managed from the 2 ADAT in/out for a total sum of 16 mono channel transfer.

In this way FX teleport manage automatically the VSTi stuff, and the Midioverlan+ADAT system manage the Scope stuff.

I can easy send multichannell from Synth PC to Host PC or, in mastering configuration, 16 mono tracks from Host PC to Synth PC that could mix all in VDAT and create the final master. This trick because the Scope's mixer is a lot better in overall dynamic than the Cubase's mixer algorithm.

In both PC's I've created image boot CD for a quick and secure recovery in case of fault.
But all seems to be very stable from 5 month!

All U need is a KVM and minimum 1 or 2 monitors to control all the system.

I can open huge projects with 16-24 tracks each with one complete channel strip, various insert effects, some send/return channel efx, plus a lot of VSTi and Scope synths.
All realtime (or rarely intermediate mixdown/track freeze), 7ms ULLI, complete automatic song recall (apart the Scope project that is manual).

Host: Carillon PIV 1.5 mhz, 512MB ram, 120Gb HD, PulsarII+LunaII. (average 50%-60% CPU usage)

Slave: Industrial Rack AMD 1.8 mhz, 768MB ram, 160Gb HD, PulsarII+Pulsar1

BEST FEATURES:
- high DSP 24 bit audio quality (scope, XTC and UAD)
- both Scope OS 4.5 and Scope XTC advantage
- system less PC hardware dependant (virtually it never becomes obsolete!)

the advantage of fx teleport is that you don't need to install an audio card on the slave computer and it works very well with 5 ms latency.

Oops, forgotten to say!
Thanks & cheers to DjMicron

5 ms latency - not sure...

i've tried giga teleport - it gave me ~300 ms latency over 100Mbit lan...

i'm sure because i'm using it every day
