Great idea, thanks!

Or I could just use my faster machine for sequencing work, which is what I've been doing over the past few days.

Or, I could just run a minimal softsynth or two for some kinds of sequencing work, and do the heavy lifting on the laptop.

By the way, I worked two gigs this weekend, using aseqnet, with great results!

I have a donated Asus tablet (Atom 1Ghz, 1GB), which I used for that huge Pedulla bass in LinuxSampler. The rest of the synths I ran on my EEE, and I just connected the two with aseqnet. Worked well. I noticed a bit of a lag when playing really busy bass parts, but I think that might get solved by bumping the RT priority of the aseqnet instances.
