Welcome llGoDLikEll,

Vienna Instruments are recorded in 96 kHz with 24 bit resolution. All recordings are stored and processed in 32 bit FP resolution. In a final step, the samples are converted to 44.1 kHz / 24 bit just before mapping, using a proprietary SRC tool. To reduce their size, the data of intruments is compressed (not reduced) before delivery.

HTH,

Sounds like you have a plan! *two thumbs up* :-)

It should be easy, yes! :-) ... just be aware that the "official" way would be to create individual Icons for each instrument, though.

Kind regards,

Yes, exactly. :-)

This place is the one were you would read the news first. :-) Right now, there's nothing to tell in this regard, sorry to say so.

I would suggest to use the MIRx settings I created for Teldex Berlin right now. The sound is not the same, but at least it's a scoring stage rather than a concert venue.

Kind regards,

Hi António,

as a long-time Nuendo user I've seen your request in Steinberg's forum. :-) I can assure you that the underlying MIDI engine of the most recent version 10 of both Cubase and Nuendo is identical. 

Kind regards,

Welcome John, 

I hope you found your way 'round by now. :-)

For the sake of completeness (and for all future readers of your thread):

This is the contact-page of the site:

Finally, there's VSL's Live Chat, which should be available from the start page of the site (unless you block it for one reason or the other).

Kind regards,

... hope this helps! :-)

Hi Betuel,

sorry for the slightly delayed reply, but I didn't find the time to gather the data you're asking for during the week. Here comes the MIR Pro Engine Settings file of the unfinished (i.e. broken) MIRx setup of Synchron Stage Vienna. The more detailed screenshots will follow!

Kind regards,

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,

Just a quick idea: Is there a plug-in "stealing" the keyboard focus, maybe? It happens when the GUI of a plug-in that "listens" to keyboard entry is on top.

Best Stefan

In short: No. :-)

Long answer: It's advisable to make sure that a stereo input signal is centered, otherwise the spatial positioning of MIR will be obscured by the signal-inherent panning. This is especially obvious in case of very wide MIR Icons.

Kind regards,

It's always a good idea to optimize the source first. I would suggest to raise the volume in MIR Pro.

HTH,

As long as you don't use MIR Pro, MIRx or the "synchronized" version of Dimension Strings, there's no audio processing going on (apart from the necessary post-production steps during the creation of the sample sets themselves, of course).

Kind regards,

Hi Sam,

You're right that I created all the MIR-based settings for the Synchronized Vienna Instruments, but I wasn't implementing them into Synchron Player. I have to admit that I don't know about the plate reverb, but I assume that it is meant to serve some kind of "sweetening purposes" in a hybrid-reverb approach.

I'll ask around. :-) Thanks for your patience!

Huh! That's strange. I can't recall other reports describing this behaviour, but I'll ask VSL software engineers to look into it nonetheless.

Thanks for your patience!
