Thanks for responding! I simply decide during a session to add a new VST track. When I do-everything locks up on the Performer side. I always have to reconnect, which just takes time and pisses us both off. We have a solid connection on both ends–hard wired to TWC. I am just using VST to teach music lessons from a distance, which is working well for the most part. I record whatever song I want to teach man student to play beforehand, and when we hook up I simple play along with what I already recorded myself. The student just sees me on camera and it appears to him that I am actually performing. Then he plays along from his end and I record him. I have many youtube of it.
