Using two Macs with Logic Pro X

If you’re lucky enough to own two Macs – maybe a desktop computer for the studio and a laptop for working out and about – have you ever considered the possibility of creating a music-production system that utilises both machines? Although the computing power of most Macs is usually sufficient to handle a range of production activities, there’s still a lot to be said for a system that incorporates two or more computers. You could, for example, use a second ‘slave’ machine for streaming heavy-duty sample libraries, or like many professional composers, use a second machine as a means of outsourcing video playback, rather than overload the main workstation with gigabytes of video files.
