Ok, so I know this can be done, and I'm pretty sure a few of you have done it, but I've been looking up how to do this and I have no idea so far if it works the way i'm thinking it will. Sorry in advance if this is NOOOOOOOB-ish.

I'm getting a new computer in a few days that I'm going to use all of my super CPU-intensive stuff (through Ableton Live) on, but I want to keep my laptop running Reason so I have a musical sketchpad for when I'm out and about since it is less CPU intensive. However, I also want to use it for the few backing synths and FX that I'd rather use Reason for.

So here is my question; is it possible (and how) to link up my laptop with my behemoth desktop computer so that the laptop gets Reason ReWired into Ableton on my desktop?

Easiest way:

- connect 1 USB MIDI interface to your laptop running Reason

- connect 1 USB MIDI interface to your desktop running Live

- connect 1 MIDI cable from the desktop MIDI out to the laptop MIDI in

- tell Ableton to send MIDI to that MIDI output

- tell Reason to receive MIDI from that MIDI input.
