Here is the ES-9 audio interface sending all physical inputs (except ADAT) to the Mac Mini device, and another instance receives audio from the Mac Mini and routes it to the ES-9 physical outputs.

Then on the ‘host’ Mac (Studio in this case), Loopback will show the AVB enabled Mac as audio interface, which you have to route to your needs. You need to do that in only one of the Macs and it’ll appear as an ethernet audio interface in both Macs, up to 64 channels of I/O. The video at the bottom explains how to enable a Mac to be an AVB device (only opening AVB configuration and ticking the ‘enable’ box, you can disregard the matrix). Many people online said that a 400€ AVB switch was needed, but that’s not true! (if you want to integrate a Switch in between it MUST be AVB, but you can use any dongle to add extra ethernet ports for other uses). Pretty mind blown right now that this just cost a regular ethernet cable in hardware. Audio coming from the two computers into the same output are summed. Haven’t measured latency but it’s not noticeably increased using live instruments with monitoring as doing with the Mac host of the ES-9 (audio interface). This can be useful for live use such as redundancy backup, split audio and video/light processing (with audio reactivity), two people (with 2 DAW) performances, offload CPU, AV streaming and many other things I can’t think about now but I’m sure you’ll do. I haven’t tried using video stream with NDI out at the same time in TD though, I’ve read it doesn’t play well with Dante. This is interesting as the routing can be completely independent of TD or DAW, so in case any of them fails, the second computer can still receive and send audio to the audio interface (redundancy setups). AVB (native) + Loopback (TD or any DAW to route channels) allow two Macs to use the same regular USB audio device (or aggregated devices) with just an ethernet cable between them, sending up to 64 I/O channels.Īlso, Loopback (paid, in the picture below) is nice in case you want independent routing between computers.
