I have had a smooth transition to the MAS version with no major issues at my end. I even combined frames from 2 computers and merged them to a new one.

Now one thing I noticed it seems like loading of samples works differently than the AU version. I have my VE-PRO plug-ins in V-RACKs organize by groups and sections that are disabled by default. I did this so my template would load fast (as it doesn't load anything) then I would simply enable the sections I need for a given cue say strings and woodwinds and leave everything else off.

Now after I've converted to the MAS version eventhough all my VE-PRO plug-ins (in V-RACKS) are disabled it goes and load everything as I open my template. Is this new normal? Am I missing something? Anybody else noticed that?

Wonderful! Thanks so much, works like it used to but only better!

Re VEP Server 5.4.13715, discovering that projects (created in rev 5.3.13407) with VEP instances distributed between my Mac master and PC slave, no longer load properly.  

VEP tries to load all the instances on the Mac. Instances which lived on the PC slave no longer load there.

I can create a new DP project and create a VEP instance on the PC slave, and it works.  

But projects created in 5.3.13670 do NOT work in 5.4.13407, and are rendered dead in the water.  I will have to roll back to the previous rev. in order to continue work on my project.

Paul, I did check out that section, yes.  I did deactivate the MAS versions of the plugins and am using the AUs.

As mentioned, if I create a new DP project, I can instantiate VEP on the slave PC and play it normally, without problems.  The new project will also play properly upon being closed and re-opened. 

The problem comes into play only on old projects.  Unfortunately it persists even after rolling back to 5.3.13407, which surprises me.

On opening old projects, VEP instances which lived on the slave PC now try to load on the master Mac, preventing the project from loading properly (particularly since, for instance, Kontakt instances from the PC aren't recognized on the Mac or vice versa.  When the PC instance attempts to load on the Mac, I get the error message: "Errors occurred while loading plugins: Integrated: Vienna MIR Pro Equalizer (Could not create plugin) VST: Kontakt 5 (Could not create plugin)).  It also happens when opening autosaves of the DP projects, which by definition had been working at the time of being autosaved.

Again, I am not using the MAS versions of the VEP plugins, but the AU. And the fact that new projects utilizing VEP instances on the slave PC function normally seems to disprove a network problem.

This has basically rendered all my projects un-openable.  A pretty horrendous outcome.  Your soonest help would be appreciated.

Network setup: Mac and PC, both running VEP server 5.3.13407, Netgear Prosafe GS105 (recently rebooted)

VE PRO connects based on 2 parameters: the IP address and the instance name (preserved name). 

Let´s take it from there. 

I think we would be much faster and more efficient if you could contact me directly at , this way we wouldn´t fill this announcement thread with a specific problem, if that´s ok for you. You can include screenshots and projects for me to check, if you like. 

Thanks, 
Paul

Hey, Paul,

Thanks for the great update and for the helpful replies you've been giving, here.

While it's totally understandable that you'd move this individual support issue out of this thread and handle it via email, it might still be helpful, once the issue is resolved, for you to post the fix here — in case anyone else encounters a similar issue.  :-)  

This is a big change (a welcome one!), and many of us are finding this thread very helpful, as we contemplate upgrading our setups. As such, reading about various issues — and their solutions — is invaluable.

Thanks!

Hi dayjobmusic, 

We´re already looking into this. If you want to, you can send us one of your projects with a short description, the more examples we have, the better:

Best, 
Paul

You can run as many imstruments as your CPU can handle, basically. There are many ways to optimize settings and workflow that can do wonders for your setup and playback.

Download and watch all the VSL videos that apply from your "My VSL" area.

Watch the Sonor videos that deal with optimizing Sonars playback engine (set buffer jigh when playing back!)

Get as much RAM as you can afford!

Get as many SSDs as you can afford!

Unerstand the best way to optimize your DAW with VEPro. I have a video on Youtube about that subject if you wanna check it out here...

I use Digital Performer but you'll see the big picture at least if not more. I have two more vids coming.

Optimize the VSL Instrument Player once note entry is done.

Do you have MIR?

Look for more Sonar/VEP videos and READ THE MANUAL!

Hit me back or PM me with questions if you want. You'll be up an running in no time.

Cheers!

Steve

I've not comprehensively tested it but I opened a file created under DP8.07 that made extensive use of MAS VEPRO without problem in DP9. Also, installing DP9 does not remove DP8 so if there is a problem you can just go back to using DP8.
