It works like this: You load up your recording project in Logic on one computer. Then you tic "Enable Logic Nodes" in Logic's preferences and connect one ore more Macs through the gigabit network port. On the node machine(s) you have to start the Node applications, that comes as a utility with Logic Pro. What happens then on your central workstation machine is that every track that runs Logic propriety plug-ins or instruments gets a new button that you may push in order to distribute this track's workload over the network. An exception is the sampler EXS24, its workload can not be distributed because of legal licensing issues with the sample library used by Logic. But all other Logic synths is fine for nodes. Third-party plug-ins and instruments can not be distributed either. But as for all EQ, compression, delay and reverb there is not much anyway that sounds better and the Logic built-in stuff, so you will always be able to offload quite a bit of your main machine.
