I just started to use Microsoft Remote Desktop (on my Macbook) to have access to my Win7 DAW running Nuendo 6.5.
I want to record drums (playing myself) that way - so far everything is AWESOME.
I have full access and no grafik issues etc - BUT - even at 1024 samples buffer size I have stutter playback and dropouts - the recording stops after a few seconds “audio dropout occured” or something like that.
When I close the connection and go on with Cubase IC Pro via iPad everything is fine again - but not as cool as when using Remote Desktop which literally gives me my Studios DAW Nuendo on my Laptop…
What is causing this trouble? I have an ASUS mainboard with Workstation LAN, this one is connected via Gbit Lan to my switch… when I monitor in the taskmanager there is not really a traffic which could cause CPU spikes or something… everything is just fine there… 10% CPU maybe…
I had it twice now - the Asio Meter goes crazy when I record - playback is fine… but yesterday I closed Nuendo and reopened it (via Remote) - and then everything was very fine! So basically it works - but not all the time. Or better I say: Basically it does not work but sometimes it does.
I would like to find the culprit because it was not very “effective” - I was in the flow and warmed up etc - and then I had to deal with those issues for a while…
But the strange thing is - I was able to use it without a problem - the same project, everything the same - just a Nuendo restart… so basically it seems to work…
I realized that ultra-low latency stuff is not possible - when I have 64 samples with no issues in the studio this gave me higher CPU / crackle via remote… so I can “feel” the higher CPU use here - but I am at 1024 samples and here everything seems to work - “sometimes”…
