Wow, thank you so much! It sure does. I love MIR so much and how different settings can really change the sound. Thanks again for taking the time.

Warm regards

Hi Dietz! I'm messing around with a similar setup, images like this are always helpful. Would you be willing to share your prefered microphone settings for the setup seen in the screenshot. And perhaps more screenshots of instrument placements if you are feeling generous;)

Kind regards

Hi, anybody willing to explain this release business inside Synchron Strings I? Never really thought about it till now. There are two kinds, damped and ringing. Sounds good. Does one decide? How does this work?

Thanks in advance (:

I hope that was a subtle hint I noticed in your sentence. Anyway, good luck with the unfinished product :-)

I love Synchron Stage.

It's a beautiful sounding hall. I wonder how long I must agonisingly wait for:

Synchron Brass I & Synchron Woodwinds I, completing the Orchestra so to speak :) 

Is this something that is in the works at this time?

Kind musical Regards

Thanks Ben for responding, however acording to Dietz samples are converted from analogue to digital in 24 bit / 96 khz, they are stored and edited in 32 bit FP / 96 kHz, and are converted to the delivery format as last step before mapping within the VI.

Best, Ben

So the question of sample rate is a passionate subject for many. More and more we are seeing music delivered at high sample rate to the deligt of many. Sound is pretty much always recorded at higher rates nowadays, and a prominent sample library developer I've noticed delivers it's libraries at 48k but even so these samples have been downsampled from original rate before consumer delivery. So my question is what is the reason for not allowing an option for higher sample rate delivery for those who desire?

It does, no vintage microphones, Neve preamps etc. I was just trying to figure out what I was not hearing, guess we are so used to hearing these colorations. No distortion, got it!

Thanks for the info to my dumb question :)

Kind regards.

Of course the impulse responses we captured for MIR Pro are meant to have all the colour from the original venue - but we tried to get rid of any other unwanted influences, like all non-linearties of the recording signal chain and so on.

... does this answer your question ...? 

Kind regards,

Am I right in that the IR'S are clean and do not add any coloration to the signal?

Got some time to play with Power Drums today,

thank goodness I can use the midi browser with any instrument! Fabulous feature, many thanks!

Now its just digging through my old dusty midi files in some various dodgy places, perhaps do some digital housekeeping too... ;-))

Ta very much for this!

B

Indeed its all good, as they say always hire a lazy person, they will find the easiest way for the task ;-D

I do like VSL for the clean sound approach, linear mics and pre-amps, correct me if I'm wrong, even for the Live, Synchron Stage recordings. I had great success applying the Slate Digital microphone emulations, and I use various modelled colouring EQ's.

Doing all that inside Synchron Player would be a dream! 

I hope you soon make it come true.

All the best,

Betuel

I understand :)

Thanks for the reply, actually just bought !!!POWER DRUMS!!! ;) for fun.

The new Synchron Player has so much protential.

I love to just to be able to go throug sounds looping with my current project to find inspiration and then get in there and **** it up to my liking.

You guys should do something crazy things like having midi recorders on the strings, drums and anything you can think of, nothing beats humans!

Bestest from Björk Land,

Hello lovely team at VSL

Im curious if it is possible to use the Power Drums Midi browser for any other Synchron Instruments, quite miss

VI's Sequencer  It would be great to browse through various elements, patters, runs, chords, and build a library of performances.

All the best,

Betuel

Hi Dietz,

Would it be possible in the meantime to provide an ensemble template with the same placements and settings as used for Synchron-ized, Smart Orchestra etc, a lot has been done already. It would be tremendously helpful and fun to see.

Warm regards,

Hi Paul, sorry if I jumped the gun a little bit :) and I appreciate you taking the time to write me that list,

Maybe you could also include pre amps as well.

Warmest regards,

Betuel

So thanks to Paul, I got my answer:

First of all I love the Synchron Strings I and the sound of the Beautiful Synchron Stage, but I am very curious about the microphones that were used during the recordings, brand names, and how each microphone was used and where it was placed.

For example what kind of microphone is the close mic?

1. Close Mic (Mono)

2. Mid Mic – Front row of Ensemble (L/R)

3. Back Mic – Second row of Ensemble (L/R)

4. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Stereo (L/R)

5. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Mono (Center)

6. Main Surround – Stereo (L/R)

7. High Stereo (3D) – Stereo (L/R)

8. High Surround (3D) – Stereo (L/R)

I would be so happy to get answears for this geek question

Kind Regards,

Betuel.

Hi Bill, I am aware :) I did say presets. But I suspect it won't be for some time while they're synchronizing. But I hope I'm wrong.

Yes please, would love some presets from the professionals. Synchronized series is great but I would love to see this provided for Mir Pro :-)

I've been curious about this new MQA audio format and how such a thing could be emplemented in the sample world. But then there is always licensing issues to complicate thing I guess. But the future is bright in the tech world :)
