I just did my first mix with MIR Pro 3D and it is like earplugs were removed and total realism of sound is right there.  I am doing a really huge orchestral piece and it just blows me away how great this masterpiece of software makes everything sound.  Congratulations to the brilliant Dietz and the great VSL team  for this wonderful creation!  I am super excited by this! It may be the greatest thing VSL has yet done and they've done one great thing after another! 

William, have you tried MIR 3D with which libraries? Especially curious about the strings...

I am using MIR Pro 3D so far with a large orchestra of VI woodwinds, brass, Dimension brass, percussion, Appassionata strings, Chamber strings, Orchestral strings.  I think there may be a demo soon of the piece I'm working on (somewhat secretly - it's all very hush-hush at this point...)

MIR Pro 3D is not designed for Synchron at all. It is for the "dry" sound of VI, other libraries or any audio input you want to use.  

You could use it with Synchron but the whole concept is that Synchron has its own built-in ambience of the Synchron stage, and using MIR Pro with that would be like washing additional reverb over the natural sound.

Are you doing any surround/3d/binaural, or just the classic stereo mics and output from MIR Pro 3D?

I'm curious how much stereo has improved with MIR Pro 3D now that the roompacks have been upsampled to 3D.

Then there is this binaural 3D demo which sounds fantastic and tantalizing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ktkqvABmqA

And Dietz and others say how great 3D is.  So I am also trying to wrap my head around how much it might be worth it to explore various amounts of 3D and how much each of these adds, even for people stuck with targeting stereo speakers and/or headphones:

• 3D to stereo downmix within MIR Pro
• 3D to 7.(1).4 or 5.0.4 to stereo downmix using some other approach
• Raw 3rd order ambisonics (16-ch) to binaural (I'm trying this using Cubase's HRTF but it sounds like a mess so I don't think I have it set up properly yet.  Or maybe Cubase is inferior/limited compared to dear VR.)
• (If Binaural sounds really good on headphones, how bad would it sound on speakers?)

(I still have a lot of experimenting to do to try to answer these questions for myself, but I'm always glad to get the insights of people with experienced ears.)

Here it is.  (I was wondering if someone had already figured out how to set up volume for combining Synchronized libraries + MIR Pro 3D with Synchron direct to output, but the answer is we just have to adjust the volumes ourselves.)
