Hello

1) I could not find the "guess" function that is in MIR PRO ; it's a long work to set all VSL instrument

2) Can you please add Big Band instrument in the instrument profile

3) In the Allan Meyerson post it refers to :

-> From Abbey Road to MIR Pro

The link is not correct

4) Do you have to ban Synchron Stage instrument in your Venue ?

5) Do have to EQ each instrument or do you take the setting in the "Role" ?

6) Do you have to review the setting of the "role" when you have multiple track of an instrument ?

7) For the moment in the two mixes I am working on is a big mess ; when I have multiple instrument playing you cannot distinguish what instrument is playing, what is the solution ?

 

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Kind regards

Cyril

Please see the attached screenshot where to find the "Guess"-function. Note that this is a feature that will work within Vienna Ensemble / Pro exclusively.

Interesting idea, but due to the fact that Vienna Symphonic Library has yet to transform into Vienna Bigband Library ;-), I assume that this won't happen in the foreseeable future.

I think that's the one you're looking for:

I beg your pardon ...? 8-/ Sorry, but I don't understand the question.

Quote:
5) Do have to EQ each instrument or do you take the setting in the "Role" ?

Roles can include Character EQs, but they don't have to. In fact all factory presets a.k.a. "Vienna Standards" (a.k.a. "MIRx Settings") there is a suggested Character EQ for the respective Venue Preset it comes with. OTOH you can save your own custom-designed Roles without Character EQs. 

If you plan to add your own EQ settings I suggest not to use Characters, to avoid over-processing.

Quote:
6) Do you have to review the setting of the "role" when you have multiple track of an instrument ?

Again - I'm not sure that I understand the question, sorry. Please rephrase ...

Quote:
7) For the moment in the two mixes I am working on is a big mess ; when I have multiple instrument playing you cannot distinguish what instrument is playing, what is the solution ?

Hard to judge from the distance, without any audio examples. Might be a question of composition, arrangement, programming / performance or mixing. Or are you talking about GUI-handling rather than the resulting audio output ....?

Hello Dietz

Thanks for your answer.

Since I have discover that with instruments in Logic you have not the problem of Logic using one or two core if you use VI and synchron instrument and that VE is causing more load on the CPU ; I have decide to use VSL instrument IN Logic.

It will be great if you could add the "Guess" function when using MIR PRO 3D instruments in Logic..

If there are no profile for Synchron and BBO instruments in MIR PRO it show that the policy of VSL is not to use those instruments in MIR PRO ; if it is the case nobody will want to buy the Synchron and BBO instrument

Today I have bought a lot of them and I feel that "I have been taken for a ride"

I am using a lot of Synchron and a few BBO instrument in those two song, do I have to remove them and use only VI instruments ?

It will be a good idea to add them if you want to sell more Synchron and BBO instrument ?

Concerning 3)

PS: In a similar vein, this article from summer 2020 covers MIR Pro and its use in pandemic times, too:

-> From Abbey Road to MIR Pro

it is not -> https://youtu.be/jFhZcvGXdDU

See in :  https://www.vsl.co.at/community/posts/t57116-Alan-Meyerson-on-mixing-the-orchestral-score-of--Mank--in-MIR-Pro#post301226

In https://youtu.be/jFhZcvGXdDU the sound is terrible for non English mother tongue when Alan Meyerson is speaking (If you read the comments on that page I am not the only one to complain !)


Concerning 7)

Is there is a tutorial about Mixing with MIR PRO 3D ?

Have a good day

Kind Regards

Cyril

That would be great, yes. As soon as Apple allows VSL to implement the code in Logic that allows MIR 3D to "talk" directly with Vienna Instruments plug-ins in the same track we will be able to do this. ... I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

It's not a "policy". Vienna Instruments and Synchron Instruments rely on very different approaches. Allow me to bring in a comparison: The former can be seen as a collection of finest raw cooking ingredients which will enable the cook to create great dishes according to his/her own taste and needs. The latter is a luxury chef's menu you can buy ready-made - you just have to put it in the oven. 

In other words: Synchron instrument's paradigm baked-in panning and reverb does not match the approach of MIR, which was invented to cover exactly these aspects.

Like I wrote above - they are different product lines with different use cases.

Hey, Alan is a sound engineer - his mic is _supposed_ to sound bad. ;-D Maybe we should ask him to talk more slowly next time.

There are several videos available on MIR 3D's sub-page of VSL's web-site, and of course there's always MIR 3D's online manual (... the manual of legacy MIR Pro has a nice tutorial-section, too).

Hope that helps.

It is very nice to have such a quick answer, it is very good support ; thank you

You should rest over the week end otherwise you are going to have a burnout like me (I had 10 burnouts)

I don't understand your answer, Logic store all the instrument characteristic and send them to MIR when you load your song ; MIR send them back to Logic if you adjust there characteristic in MIR, why can't you send the "role" of the instrument when you fill the venue for the first time.

It is more than 14 days I have bought all those Synchron and BBO instrument.

I like very much the Synchron user interface, this is why I bought them.

Is MIR overriding Synchron instrument setup If you disable there reverb ?

I have understand the Synchron instruments uses VI sample, am I  wrong ? and it is why that the upgrade was very reasonable.

No, just don't put them into MIR.

90 % of my instruments are Synchron and BBO instruments ; can you have VI instruments in MIR and Synchron instrument alone in a song ?

The problem of the manual is you cannot search in the whole manual, many users have ask to have it in PDF !

Watching the great video of Paul :

In Logic (and every other conventional host) here is no data connection between Vienna Instruments and MIR 3D other than the audio stream. No way to make MIR aware of the meta-data that would make the "guessing" of the profile possible. VE Pro _has_ this additional connection, though.

Synchron Instruments rely on samples recorded directly at Synchron Stage Vienna, using multiple microphones in different distances, with "burnt-in" panning and reverb), while the so-called Synchron-IZED Instruments use samples originally recorded at Silent Stage for Vienna Instrument plus individual, hand-crafted impulse responses and panning information for them.

There are dedicated Mixer Presets for them in Synchron Player called "99 MIR Unprocessed" which brings Synchron-ized instruments back to their original, unprocessed state. Use _this_ setting when you plan to put a Synchron-ized source into MIR 3D.

Hello Dietz

Things are more clear now, many thanks.

I am waiting for and answer from support on how to change venue to test the deferent venues.

Correct me if I am wrong, if you change a setting in Mir, it is send back to Logic !

One las question, for a drum what preset will you use ?  "99 MIR Unprocessed" 

Kind regards

Cyril

 

P.S. Unrelated : 

If you publish a single on iTunes are they trick, do you have to go by a Music publishing company ?

Doesn't the Venue Selection in MIR 3D's main GUI work for you? (.... #7 in this screenshot). This should open the Venue Selection window (see this screenshot in the manual).

Quote:

Well - actually MIR is always working _within_ the host. The small plug-in you put in the track is doing all the processing tasks. It's just that all plug-ins share a common main GUI, but that's completely independent from the host. In any case - MIR "knows" nothing about other plug-ins in Logic's channel.

Quote:

If I intend to put it into MIR, then the answer is "yes".
