  • Solo vs All Dimension Brass in MIR

    Hi,

    In addition to the individual brass instruments, MIR PRO offers a choice of the full ensemble. For example, "Dimension Horns (All)" instead of "Dimension Horn P1".

    Individual instruments are easy to understand: you are free to place each instrument where you want on the stage. But what about the All presets? What's the advantage of using them, instead of separate player presets? Just computation time, or a different, better blended sound?

  • Hi Paolo,

    it's mostly a matter of taste, habits and (computational) needs.

    If you prefer to use Dimension ensembles ("All") for one reason or the other, then the proper settings are there. In case of MIRx Presets I tried to make sure that they will give you nice results, too. Still there's little doubt that the "official" solution is the use individual Icons for individual Dimension players.

    Sidenote: There's one exception to this concept - the Dimension Low Brass Section, which is meant to be used as a whole by definition.

    HTH,

  • Dietz, thank you very much for the answer and hints. I'll privilege individual icons, knowing the desired ensemble effect is there.
