Would be cool to be able to sync two playback devices playing tracks from stagetraxx.
For example:
I would like to use an ipad as my main player and my iPhone as a backup system.
If the main player (ipad) is somehow connected to the iphone and sends a continuous alive-message all tracks from the iPhone should be muted. (mute function is already implemented in stagetraxx)
When the signal is lost then the iphone un-mutes the tracks and playback comes from the iphone.
It could work with wifi probably.
And this solution is even better then these audio interfaces with failover-function like „playaudio“. Because you could use two seperate audio interfaces in parallel and use y-cables at the analog side.
So it’s even more redundant.
Now that iam thinking about it…
I could also send a sine wave on one channel playing in parallel with the multitrack, send this sinewave to my windows notebook running reaper DAW, and use a ducker on every channel, where the sine-wave „mutes“ the playback signals from the notebook. Until the sinewave stops. Then playback comes from the notebook. Switching is probably pretty fast, maybe even not noticeable.
But i need to use midi signals to start the playback on the notebook and also switch to the position of the song on the notebook. Seems to be a bit of work.
But loading a backupfile on another ios device and sync them sounds essier.
