How to connect 2 computers digitally w. Flowstone?

Post by mayo »

Hello

How to connect 2 computers digitally and use 2nd computer as external hardware effect please?
I mean one computer is main music station, 2nd small touchscreen computer is running Flowstone made standalone application as external effect in chain.

2 soundcards with s/pdif ? (or usb / lan connection would be even better)

Highest sound quality (no lose of quality, jitter etc.) is needed that is why digitall connection is needed, not analog because of adda conversion loss of quality.

Thank you very much

Hi,

I was hoping someone may have done this before in Audio with the "Audio Stream In Module".

Check out this module, it can capture Audio from a remote location, then your second machine can process and play it.

I have done this with Video. I get an image from a Webcam, scale it, add an overlay, then have a Ruby module find the outer dimensions of an object, the "bounding Box", (basically to the CCD size x the lens magnification and my edge detection algorithm - works well ;) ). One computer transmits the image to an IP address, then I get the data on another machine. The frame rate is about 20Hz, not the best but for me it is fine.

Thank you very much, interesting idea. But how can I make/establish that one computer transmits sound to IP address please? (what exactly I should do?) and what to add as source file or location input - that Ip address ?

Thanks a lot for info.
