Yeah that's alright, actually its much better than a 1 gig ethernet connection and thunderbolt is supposed to have like crazy low latency, in fact I wanted to do that in my setup too but thunderbolt pcie cards are expensive af for windows machines. Can you like share the results of your setup? like for example on the M1 Pro you may or may not see a single core crashing on a ethernet connection when you have 0 buffer in audiogridder and your audio buffer in daw is lower than 1024, I just wanna see if that's the same case with thunderbolt. edit: in thunderbolt connections cable length matters. 0.8m thunderbolt 3 cable by apple seems to be passive if you need longer lengths you'll need an active cable which might go upto 2m in length. generally any 2m long thunderbolt cable will be active. https://9to5mac.com/2018/08/23/back-to-the-mac-011-are-longer-thunderbolt-3-cables-slower-video/ |

Nice that’s good to know its is faster, though I think for my setup I have to use a tb2 cable to get started. That’s what I have on hand. My main question becomes how do I make the computers see each other through thunderbolt connection. Will audio grinder just see the other computer?
I can report back once I have something going for sure. Honestly once all my acustica plugins are working on this m1pro I won’t need audiogridder and the old comp because this m1 pro can handle things brilliantly.
Thanks!

I tried the TB3 network between a PC and a Mac. I got issues along the way to finally giving up. The DHCP was not working at all. |

Hey was wondering if I can just connect my i9 MacBook Pro to my M1 pro via a thunderbolt cable instead of a Ethernet connection for audiogridder. I saw there is thunderbolt networking for file share. It would be nice cause I have thunderbolt cables and no ethernet adapters. Thanks!
