Syncing 2 macbooks for Live

Does anyone know how to achieve the above in a DJ style setup?

You'd need to set one as a master clock source, and the other as a slave.

In Live's preferences, there is a section for Midi & Sync. Options for Track, sync and remote...have a look in the manual as to which does what. Essentially, one would act as a send, one would switch the link on and the other will act as an input.

I'd suspect the sync would need to be active on both machines, as it makes sense for that to be the on/of switch. Im not sure which way track and remote work though.

I'd look for you, but don't have time at the mo.
