ReaMote Network Plugin Processing for REAPER

Some people asked me "What's ReaMote?" So today we're going to give it a try.
ReaMote is a way you can connect your REAPER project to multiple computers on your network to reduce CPU load from plugins (VST, AU, JSFX) on your main system.
The Remote computers run the ReaMote app and on the main system you go to Preferences: Plugins: ReaMote to enable and connect the slave computers.

In the track FX Chain you'll see a new option for local or remote processing.

Important!
- VST Names, format and version numbers must match on master and remote systems
- there is a lot of latency
- local network only
- Track FX only. No take fx.
- some plugins just won't work. EZDrummer2 wouldn't

For my setup it didn't work great because my remote was so underpowered compared to my main system and was easily overloaded.

For other people I could see this being useful as a way of avoiding freezing, bouncing down stems, or subprojects.

I really hope this is enough to get you going with ReaMote. If there's enough interest I may come back to this from a different angle.

At the end of the video I mentioned Snazzy Labs' video on an Intel NUC based hackintosh. Check that out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-wHQEiDKr4
