  • Vienna Ensemble - Pan, Reverb, Instruments & Instances of VE.

    Few questions more about using Vienna Ensemble (for example, with Sibelius).

    What is the best way to assign reverb and pan for instruments with Vienna Ensemble?

    I've noticed, that if I insert the effect AUMatrixReverb to a Master Bus, the PowerPan assigned to each instrument is always ignored.

    Then, I'm thinking:

    1) Do I need to asign the effect AUMatrixReverb individually for each Instrument? If I do this, I can use the PowerPan function, but of course, I think many Ram and CPU will be used.

    2) Do you think is better to use different reverbs for each instrument?

    3) How can I configure Vienna Ensemble to get the best sound using the effect AUMatrixReverb included on the Vienna Ensemble, and the PowerPan that I want to assing to each instrument?

    4) And one more question. How many instances of Vienna Ensemble do you prefer to use? For example, in an orchestra score where we have: Flutes, Oboes, Clarinets, Bassons, Horns, Trumpets, Trombones, Percusion & Strings. Do you create one instance for woodwinds, one for brass, one for percusion and one for strings? Do yo prefer to create only one instance with all instruments on it, or two if you need more than 16 sounds?

    Thanks!
