Huh! *blush* Thank you, Shandor!

Sometimes I can hardly believe myself that all of this became reality. :-) ... You know - people shook their heads in disbelieve when I tried to delineate the basic concepts of MIR about eight or nine years ago.

All credit goes to the guys who had the persistency to make MIR happen: Herb Tucmandl (who just said something incredibly cool ;-) like, "Ok, let's do it!" when I approached him with the idea the very first time), Martin Rajek (who designed MIR's basic architecture, and who was kind of my mental "sparring partner" until 2008), the ingenious software engineers Florian Walter, Karel Bassez and Martin Saleteg (who managed to cast those vast amounts of crazy ideas into code that actually _works_), and about two more dozens of people who are (hopefully) all mentioned in MIR's credits - most notably Heinz Repper, who was the visionary technical director of Vienna Konzerthaus back then (he literally invited us to "abuse" the wonderful halls of this building).

... I can assure you that we understand enthusiastic feedback like yours as a call for enduring further development.

Thanks again,

Well, Mr Dietz and the whole team, this visionnary software (and it sounds almost offensive to call it the same name as Word and iThings c..p) is truly a huge leap forward for all the musicians.

Not to make you blush again, but reading this forum, sorry you have to deal with some of my collegues customers with should we say impenetrable sense of being abused somehow or... well, I'll stop there. But IMHO your brains (and the ones of your team) would be of a better use in creating and perfecting, than just battling and repeating things.

Anyway, MIR is not perfect... just like any other work of art. It will never be understood  or put in a good use by everybody. Speaking for myself, I found my missing link and it's just one of those things when you say: hmm... how did I do that before without it!

I'll make sure to read once again the credits of MIR. I'm also certain the team who can create this, must be absolutely unique and fantastic and don't need an extra motivation because your passion is infectous.

Keep up and have an amazing year! Oh, and take some holidays sometimes, for God's sake.

Best,

+1000 from me, too!

MIR Pro is just mega awesome and the quality of the VSL libraries is really outstanding. If own almost every common library from other vendors, too and almost all of them have lots of issues and I'm wondering how most of them could have ever passed any quality gate. Lots of programming, bad samples and/or tuning issues. When I buy a VSL lib I can be almost 100% sure that I get supreme quality.

Thanks a lot for that!

If you ever used and tried to compose and produce music on the available samples and software during the 1980s you would be truely astounded by what the VI Pro 2 and MIR Pro 5 softwares are able to do. It is an amazing musical environment to work in. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Houra & Cheers! Where's my glasse of champaign? Oh well... It was yesterday.

I think we'll be getting back very soon to this topic after the next MIR update.

Hopefully soon (? I know it's a shameless way to ask, count it for those last unforgiving champaign bubbles)
