1.2 Problems with MIR: Venue view disappears (VE Pro) and RoomPack not found (Vst Plugin) 6/29/2022 4:19:42 PM

I see. Your best option is to get in contact with ASAP, VSL's support team will be able to sort out that issue swiftly. Make sure to include as many system-specific details as possible (OS, host application, version numbers etc. ... you know the drill :-) ...).

Kind regards,

2.2 Problems with MIR: Venue view disappears (VE Pro) and RoomPack not found (Vst Plugin) 6/29/2022 12:27:11 PM

Hi Sandrew, 

I have no immediate input to handle the first issue, sorry to say so.

The second one could simply be a question of Preference settings, though. AFAIR MIR Pro has individual settings for its plug-in version. Please check if the path to the RoomPacks is set correctly there, too.

HTH.

3.Synchron player and mic presets 6/29/2022 8:28:41 AM

MIRx was a product specifically developed for Vienna Instruments, with pre-defined settings derived from six MIR Pro Venues. "MIRx Mode" was added to MIR Pro to supply users with the same settings and the added benefit that they could be altered (unlike in MIRx itself).

Therefore you can use MIRx Mode only with Vienna Instruments, and of course only for the Venues you own licenses for. A small exception is the handful of "General Purpose Settings" I created for MIRx - they are quite unspecific and could be used with any input source.

... or did I misunderstand the question?

4.Synchron player and mic presets 6/28/2022 6:54:02 PM

You're welcome! I know that my answer might not have been exactly what you were hoping for .... Thanks for using MIR Pro in any case! :-)

5.Synchron player and mic presets 6/28/2022 6:26:06 AM

MIR Pro and Synchron Instruments aren't made for each other. :-)

The latter have been recorded "in situ" (i.e. in the actual position of the instrument(s) in Synchron Stage Vienna), with lots of the ambience and even reverb "burnt in". They are meant to be used in the same way they have been recorded in, all in the same hall.

MIR Pro on the other hand needs quite dry (at least unreverberated) sources, ideally centered, without any bias towards the left or right side. That's the only way to put this source in one of its Venues in a meaningful way, without ending up with a muddy mess of rooms, pannings and reverbs. :-)

... there are mixer presets in Synchron Instruments that try to provide that kind of sound despite their different recording paradigm, but it's not their main goal. 

HTH,

6.MIR Pro plug-ins: when finally usable with iLok? 6/27/2022 11:26:49 PM

There will be an info-update as soon as we know that we're ready to roll. Thanks for your patience!

7.360º MIR venue 6/22/2022 8:26:47 AM

All the studios and scoring stages allow for positioning of instruments (almost) everywhere around each and every MIR Microphone:

  • Synchron Stage
  • Teldex
  • ORF Studios 1 and 2
  • Studio Weiler - Main Room and Stoneroom
  • The Sage - Northern Foundation Hall

All churches offer a main "stage" area around the altar, and a second area in the back (e.g. the organ- and choir-galleries):

  • Steinhof
  • Pernegg
  • Strassengel

And of course there are several other Venues that have additional HotSpots in the back of the hall, or at least on the sides:

  • Konzerthaus - Großer Saal, Neuer Saal, Foyer
  • The Sage Gateshead - Hall One
  • ORF Sendesaal

... make sure to switch on the yellow "HotSpots" overlay to see all positions that where used for IR generation.

HTH,

8.MIR 3D 6/11/2022 8:30:14 AM

Hi Rasmus,

thanks for your interest in MIR (3D!)! :-)

I used several approaches for both Auro 3D and ATMOS in MIR Pro. The most obvious one: Use the main microphone for the lower "bed" and add a second pass to your mix from another (preferably more elevated, most likely "wet only") microphone position in the same Venue. Typical example: The monastery church of Pernegg, where Mic 4 is high above the others. - Truth be told, I've even successfully used a mic a few feet behind the main mic (without elevation) for the top layer. 8-)

Another quick'n'dirty solution is to use a 3rd-party upmixer (such as Nugen's HALO) to virtually create the missing channels for the top layer.

... but don't despair - an actual solution for these (and many other) questions is on its way. :-)

Best,

Also, another question for Dietz:

When you created the Synchron Stage wide MIRx presets for MIR, did you go off the original VI dimension samples or the altered SYN-zed dry samples?  Or does it really make a difference?

I worked on the original Vienna Instruments Dimension series. AFAIK, the differences (on a sample-level) between them and the Synchronized releases should be marginal (if any), but I hope that Andi or someone else from VSL will correct me if I got that wrong. :-)

Thanks for the kind words.

:-D ... I'm not completely sure, but considering that Herb Tucmandl (our "boss") and I have been friends for more than 30 years now, I have high hopes that we will come through this unscathed, too. ;-)

I've been asked to stop talking in detail about products that haven't been released yet, but I think it's safe to say that this won't change, in principle. 8-)

We work on it day in, day out right now. ;-)
14.MIR CANNOT ACCESS ROOMPACKS 5/18/2022 8:17:11 AM

Hello and welcome, Wei An Chien,

just to avoid misunderstandings: Please note that RoomPacks need to be _installed_ after downloading. Quoting the manual:

Quote:
The RoomPacks downloads are supported by VSL's Download Manager – just follow the instructions given in the User Area. It might be important to mention that the RoomPacks need to be installed, too. If you decide to change the installation path to a custom location, please make sure to point MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 to it later on (see below). The default installation path is WIN: 

<SystemDisk>\ProgramData\VSL\Vienna MIR; MacOS: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/VSL/Vienna MIR.

... if this doesn't solve your problem, please get in contact with ASAP, including as many information about your setup as possible. Thanks!

Enjoy MIR Pro,

17.VI+MIR vs Synchron libraries 5/13/2022 10:04:10 AM

That's mostly a question of context and personal preferences. :-)

Personally, I can't stand the artifacts that will occur when you "fold down" timing-difference based stereo to mono (or even to less wide stereo), especially when they are derived artificially ("Haas-panning"). OTOH: If you're sure that your mix will never be played in mono, or if you can live with the aforementioned phasing artifacts, then it's a valid technique to add delay between left and right channels of a stereo signal for precedence effect and increased de-correlation.

HTH,

I just stumbled over this older thread. Has the issue been solved in the meantime? 

If it isn't, please get in contact with . VSL's support team will take care for you. :-)

21.VS Hybrid Reverb vs MIR PRO + MIRacle 5/7/2022 7:50:16 PM

Quoting the manual:

Quote:
Strictly spoken, MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 is meant to be used as an integrated spatial mixing front end, with the goal to achieve the complete and credible virtual image of a real room. But even in the Real World, orchestral recordings made in perfectly suitable rooms are sweetened with additional algorithmic (synthetic) reverb. So although it seems to be against the standards of purity, there's nothing wrong with doing the same to mixes derived from MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24. The main question is if you really want to put additional reverb on top of the one that's already there, or if you want to feed the additional reverb form the dry source-signals. – This will depend a lot on the characteristics of the chosen Venue, of course.

In any case: MIRacle – the algorithmic reverb add-on that comes with MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 – is the perfect "first call" for these tasks, as it integrates perfectly with MIR Pro / MIR Pro 24 and comes with tailor-made presets. But there's nothing wrong if you prefer to use one of those trusty old machines you got used to, during the years. :-)

That's a misunderstanding. MIR works beautifully on its own. The whole idea of adding algorithmic reverb to a "real" room is just a consequence of typical production processes and the aesthetic expectations of both the artists and the listeners.

The main reason to develop MIRacle was the idea of having a dedicated tool for this workflow (as well as for presets and example settings) without the need for 3rd-party plug-ins.

23.Difficulty with mixing VI instruments in MIR Pro 5/3/2022 10:28:53 AM

^^^^^^^^^  This!

Natural Volume is a hand-crafted collection of settings for Vienna Instruments. The goal is to bring _all_ instruments (ranging from a Violin flautando to a fff-hit on a Tamtam) on the same virtual stage, which means that the headroom has to be huge - thus the seemingly quiet individual volumes.

-> https://www.vsl.info/en/manuals/vienna-instruments-mirx/natural-volume-overview

Don't use Natural Volume when you work in a hybrid setting and/or with 3rd party libraries unless you know very well what you're trying to achieve. :-)

24.where are the Synchron Library manuals? 5/1/2022 10:55:13 PM

 

Does this help ...?

Hi Andy,

Please forward your findings to . I could do it myself, but then you wouldn't be in the info-loop for any quick fix (if there is one).

TIA!
