Anyone Using PC and Logic with hypersonic ?

Question

by this time i should be on mac, yeah i know but my PC still works and i can still make music
but I was wondering if hpersonic supports multiple output on mac and how well does it run
because i'm thiking of upgrading to a mac and also thinking of getting hypersonic 2 upgrade
does it work with logic 7?
is there something similar to hypersonic or better?
hypersonic happens to be the backbone of all my songs
thanks

Answer 1

its pretty simple
there is few ways of doing this
one is the analog way :
1: connect a midi output from the mac to a midi input to the PC
2: i assume you have a pro interfaces in both mac and PC, so connect 2 or 4 or 6 channels output of the PC to the mac's audio input
3: Launch both logic and insert an instrument of your choice in any of the instrument channels ( EXS24 OR HYPERSONIC ) then select a midi channel in logic pro 7
4: Make sure what ever channel you have selected is the same channel in logic 5.5 on PC ( example, midi channel one will connect to instrument 1 with the input set to midi ch 1 )
if the input on instrument 1 is set to midi to then it wont receive the info from Midi channel 1's output of the mac unless you choose midi channel 2 just like any rewire
5: set the Instrument 1's output to what ever you want the mac to receive from
so if you set the output to 3-4 then you need to select an audio track and set the input to 3-4 to receive the lines just like logic will receive the channel outputs of reason when its been rewired
the good thing about this is you can have stereo inputs for every channels
6: start playing any key on the midi channel 1 on the Logic 7 (Mac) and it'll control the PC logic with the audio output coming in input 3-4 on any of the audio tracks you select in logic
good thing about this is you insert as much powerful plug-ins as wont because they are not in play mode, the only thing thats been triggered is the sounds from the plug-ins so therefore it does eat as much CPU as having them instrument on logic 7 on the same mac or having reason on the same computer
IMPORTANT NOTE
when bouncing, don't bounce it as off-line because its just having an external sound module, bounce it in realtime
and you change the songs to another songs, save the session on Logic 7 and logic 5.5 just like how you'll do on reason and logic 7
two is digital way :
its the same as the analog ways except the audio out put from the PC to the Mac is connect via ( SPDF )
i hope that sounds a bit simple but if you need more info i'll be glad to help you on that
