If this question has been asked (and answered) before I apologise:
Is it possible to have Legacy MIR 1860 and VE Pro 5 (with MIR Pro in it) on the same DAW (PC) and to choose which one you are working with?
I am still working on a large project using Legacy MIR 1860 (with VI Pro's inside) and would like to continue doing so. However, I'd also like to test VE Pro 5/MIR Pro...
Kind regards
Like Frank wrote - there's no trouble at all. The most recent versions of legacy Vienna MIR and MIR Pro can share the *.vmi-data (a.k.a "RoomPack"), and they can even run side-by-side at the same time on the same machine, provided that ths system is powerful enough and the audio drivers allow for multi-client operation.
Kind regards,
Thank you, Frank and Dietz.
Some more questions regarding this:
1. Legacy MIR is a standalone application, in which each instrument has to be assigned to a specific internal MIDI port and channel. I do this by using LoopBe 30. When starting my DAW and Cubase, LoopBe 30 is automatically instantiated. Does VE Pro also need internal MIDI Ports/channels (LoopBe 30)? Or do I have to disable LoopBe 30 in any way? I have not yet understood the setup of Cubase and VE Pro, since I have never worked with VE before.
2. What is the best way to record audio coming from Legacy MIR on to a CD (as an audio file)? I know there is a way of redirecting the audio from MIR into Cubase and record it there as an audio-channel; afterwards Cubase can export the audio-channel as an audio-file and burn it on an audio CD. However, that seems to be a somewhat odd solution. Any better way? Maybe record the audio from MIR with a CD-recorder directly?
3. Regarding VE Pro/MIR Pro: How do you burn/record the audio with these?
Thanks in advance for any help
With MIR Pro you have the option to run it as a seperate stand-alone application (much like legacy Vienna MIR), or to use VE Pro / MIR Pro as some kind of "meta-instrument" directly inside the host. You won't need LoopBe30 in the latter scenario, as you will control any instrument hosted by VE Pro / MIR Pro like any other VSTi.
Your second and third questions ask for a lengthy answer. In principle you will record or bounce your mix like you would do with any other setup without VE Pro / MIR Pro and transfer it to CD or any other delivery format afterwards.

However, within the description of VE Pro/MIR Pro on the VSL-website it says:
"Vienna Ensemble PRO 5 is the only (and most comfortable!) way to run Vienna MIR PRO; there is no stand-alone version of Vienna MIR PRO."
Am I missing something?
Kind regards
