Got an answer to routing midi - now I am wondering if anyone has information on a good way to route audio through a LAN connection?

You can route audio using Desktop Sharing in Windows XP - but there is a lot of latency and it doesn't work very well with SFP. Are there any other solutions for routing live audio through a network to another computer?

What I would like to do is play my midi keyboard on a computer in another part of my house, route the midi to my computer running SFP to play synths, etc., then have the audio route back to my computer where I am at through the network.

I guess you want a kind of monitor signal on the remote machine.
A full quality multitrack load wouldn't match packetwise LAN transfers very well.
What's required is a real time streaming driver for the monitors.
That would indeed be fine, as physical recording could take place on the big, bulky machine and you'd be in complete control, wherever you are :smile:
Dunno if that can be setup with existing apps from Real Audio and the like, maybe someone has experiences in that field ?
The quick and dirty way would otherwise be to use one of those HF transmitters to be found in the HiFi departement connected to analog out of the host machine.
