Much of Linux Audio is related to this "network" stuff, but I've never seen it anywhere else. I've been in several studios with tons of expensive equipment, however, all this stuff was packed in a single room, usually around a decent mixing console or a computer with multichannel audio I/O (ProTools, Tascam, RME, whatever). On the digital side, all these sites had total recall, that is, they've opened the mixing session in ProTools and all the plugins had their settings right. That's the reason why you usually don't want analog outboard equipment, but if need be, even that sometimes provided total recall (SSL consoles, some newer FX gear, preamps and some on). Nobody ever used a plugin on a remote system. Nobody ever used a remote I/O. I agree that in some larger broadcasting studio, routing between several rooms might be an issue, but this is a rather large investment, probably millions of Euros. I've been in the studio where they'd recorded Sarah Connor. I've been in the studio of Germany's children TV (Kika). Though they had serveral rooms, they just exchanged sessions via file servers. So what's the point of all this network audio? Cheerio -- mail: adi(a)thur.de http://adi.thur.de PGP/GPG: key via keyserver
