VST System Link - Digital Audio Workstation Networking

Steinberg is yet again pushing back the limits of what is possible in digital audio. Having brought you technological breakthroughs such as VST, LTB and ASIO, Steinberg Media Technologies AG is proud to announce VST System Link. This revolutionary new standard brings true connectivity and platform independence to the digital audio world. Not only does VST System Link harness the full CPU and disk power of several computers simultaneously regardless of platform, it will let you take your audio projects to new levels of complexity, and offers unbelievable flexibility in your working environment.

What is VST System Link?

VST System Link is a system for networking computers using Steinberg Virtual Studio Technology (VST) software and Audio Stream Input Output (ASIO) hardware. VST System Link enables the transfer of synchronization, transport, and audio data between two or more workstations equipped with compatible software and hardware over standard digital audio cabling systems such as ADAT, TDIF, AES/EBU, S/PDIF etc. And because it uses the audio stream itself, synchronization is completely sample accurate, even across multiple workstation configurations!

How does VST System Link work?

VST System Link uses a single bit of the audio stream as a carrier for transport and synchronization information, plus (optionally) other bits of the audio stream for MIDI information. Several computers can be linked in a daisy chain configuration, each one passing on the accumulated information to the next via standard digital audio cables.

How do I hook up my MIDI?

Easy. VST System Link can also carry literally hundreds of MIDI channels down the same single channel of a digital audio cable. Once you hook up your keyboard to the computer system via a standard MIDI interface you’ll never need to use MIDI cables again. Any computer in a VST System Link network can be accessed from any other, so one keyboard can play any VST Instrument loaded on to any of the other computers on the network. Don’t have enough power to run 8 synths on this computer? Then run some of them on another machine and access them just as if you had a hardware synth rack in your studio. And on top of that, VST MIDI doesn’t suffer from the same timing and bandwidth problems of traditional MIDI – VST MIDI has sample accurate timing!

What can I do with VST System Link?

Anything you can do on one computer, only doubled! (Or tripled or quadrupled or whatever, depending on how many computers you’ve got). Since any audio stream can be sent to any machine, you can configure audio routing and processing in an almost infinite number of ways. Yes, this does mean you can run audio tracks on one computer, run virtual instruments on a second computer, do virtual effects processing on another computer, and mix it on a fourth computer! All you have to do is link their ASIO soundcards with the appropriate digital audio cables.

Is VST System Link cross-platform? Cross-application? Can I use it on a laptop?

Yes! It’s no problem to network both Windows and Macintosh machines easily with VST System Link. The VST engine doesn’t care which OS it’s running, it just sends data via the cross-platform ASIO protocol. And it´s also cross-application - both Nuendo and Cubase can be networked seamlessly together as one system. If your laptop has some kind of digital I/O (for example the new Nuendo Audiolink 96 interfaces) you can also network it transparently with your desktop computer. So for example someone using a Titanium PowerBook for field recording can bring the machine into the studio, link it with the Windows machine there, and start working immediately without needing to wait to transfer files or burn a CD ROM. The two systems will automatically co-exist as one.

What are the applications of this technology?

The great thing about VST System Link is that it gets rid of all limitations of computer based recording. Now we can truly achieve unlimited numbers of simultaneous tracks, enormous amounts of virtual effects, and incredible polyphony on virtual instruments. Not to mention get around the “one person in front of the keyboard at a time” syndrome – now several people can work on the same project at the same time, each in front of his own computer.
Here are some sample configurations:

1. Post- Production
In this scenario, several engineers and producers can work on different areas of the same project. For example, one workstation can be configured to do sound effects, another can be doing dialogue editing, and another can be working on background music. Each machine can stream its output to the master mixing console, all the streams being time locked by VST System Link’s sync protocol. Or they can all stream to yet another computer for virtual mixdown. Of course yet another machine can be used to run digital video in perfect synchronization too, with a lockup time of only a few milliseconds!

2. Music Recording
Here one workstation can be the virtual tape machine, while another is dedicated to just running virtual instruments. This allows the keyboard player to layer up huge synth sounds and samples on his own computer without affecting the tracking engineer’s ability to record lots of audio tracks quickly; yet still have all the data from both of them locked together instantly, and without having to run mounds of audio cables around the studio – all you need is one digital audio cable to handle it all.

3. Music Mixing
This setup has one machine as the virtual mixer, one as an effects rack, and another is running virtual instruments. The mixer station handles audio playback with lots of EQ and dynamics processing; virtual instruments are running on a second machine; then both audio and virtual synth tracks run together to the third computer for adding reverbs, flangers, etc. For huge mixes with lots of audio tracks, tracks can be split across computers to give a pseudo RAID effect. Note that in this scenario there is no latency in mixing the virtual instruments, nor is there any timing fluctuation (both of which can be major headaches if locking computers together with MIDI); and the full 32 Bit resolution of the virtual synths and the effects outputs is passed directly to the mixing computer.

4. Project Studio
How many times have you bought a new computer and wondered what to do with the old one? Now it just becomes another processor in your system. Use it as a dedicated keyboard rack full of virtual synths, or load up HALion and use it as a powerful sampler, or add that new surround reverb effects processor without having to worry about it hogging your main machine’s processor. An old computer can be invisibly hooked into a project system with very little effort and cost, and give great results in whatever capacity you need. Or rack mount a bunch of machines for the ultimate in tracks and effects capability!
