1. About the program
FX Teleport is a unique revolutionary DAW networking solution.
From now on it's not only possible, but also very easy to use as many computers
as you want for your DAW. Just launch your favorite VST host on one machine and
VST instruments and FX on the others and enjoy working on your audio processing
farm. You can even dedicate a whole computer to your favorite VST synth.
2. Why do you need FX Teleport?
- If your CPU resource on the main machine is insufficient, you may want to use
another machine for the heaviest FX.
- You may want to turn your home or project studio into a really powerful audio
processing farm.
- Even if your CPU horsepower is sufficient for your needs, adding an extra
machine will eliminate the peaks of CPU, HD and RAM usage, increasing the overall
reliability of the system.
- Convenience reasons: a dedicated machine means dedicated keyboard, mouse and
monitor just for control over your FX, which in the end may replace a dedicated
hardware control unit like for instance HUI, just remember how many times you
wished there had been another mouse.
- Overall stability: in case your FX plug-in crashes the machine, the host machine
with your song will remain stable and you won't lose your work.
- You do your project together with someone: another person may want to help you
tweak your FX parameters while you are mixing or do some finishing touches on
your sequencer.
- You want to get the most out of your software synth: pay attention, you can
almost turn it into a hardware synth if you dedicate a whole machine to it.
Just assign the whole machine's CPU, RAM and HD, set the heaviest programs and
FX, and this will not affect the whole system in any way, and you will no longer
need to do preliminary bounces and mixdowns in order to free up some CPU power for
more plug-ins on your host machine.
3.How does it work?
On the host machine, where the sequencer is running, there's a VST wrapper. Also
you may see a new VST folder named "FX Teleport" with all familiar plug-ins, but
with (LAN) extensions. You can use those FX in the usual way you work with VST
plug-ins. When such an effect is used, the VST wrapper launches and searches for
FX Teleport server applications on the network, and on finding those starts the
chosen effect on the remote machine. Next the VST wrapper serves as a bridge
between the host and the remote machine. It flows the stream to the effect and
processed signal back to the host machine.
If you are working at a location or you're just too lazy to turn on additional
machine(s) you have nothing to worry about - the wrapper will search the network,
and having found nothing it will just start the FX on the host machine in the
way it used to work before you installed FX Teleport. Then if you feel you're
getting out of the horsepower on the host machine, just start the other one(s)
and teleport your FX with a single mouse click.
