Part 8: Advanced Setup – Networking and Remote Recording
One of Audition 1.5’s forgotten features is Session via Network (Tools > Session via Network). This allows two computers to share a multitrack session over LAN. On modern Windows, enable SMB 1.0/CIFS (dangerous for security – use only on isolated networks). Options > Settings > System
Step 4: Enable VST Effects Folder (Optional)
- Options > Settings > System.
- VST Effects Path: Click Browse. Point to a folder where you place 32-bit VST2 plugins (e.g.,
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\Legacy). - Rescan. Note: No VST3, no 64-bit plugins.
