:-) Good to hear that you're up and running again. We'll mark the thread as "solved" then!

Hi Rubens,

If you're referring to a MIRx-style "Vienna Standards" Venue Preset that covers all Vienna Instruments ever released, the answer is a very irrevocable "No!" :-) ... mostly due to the quite obvious fact that the stage of Hall Two is much too small for a full blown orchestra with hundreds of players.

OTOH: If you're aiming for "empty hall, but readily set-up for recording"-type of presets they are actually there already (... I just didn't find the time to add them to MIR 3D's new Preset Management yet). You find them in your MyVSL user area in form of legacy MIR Pro's "engine settings": -> https://eu.vsl.co.at/?FileID=67516 ... unpack the ZIP and load the respective settings with MIR 3D's "File > Load Legacy MIR Engine Project"-command.

Re: "Teldex" Role Presets: I don't know exactly what you're missing ...?

EDIT: Ahhh! The "String Player" is the cello! ;-) I see. Yes, Player 5 Cello is missing indeed. Thanks for the hint. I will report! :-) 

Kind regards,

It is, due to the fact that (non-dynamic) convolution is a linear process. :-)

I can't say how fast this issue will be solved, but I know for sure that VSL's developers have already taken note. :-) Thanks for your patience!

Hi Goran,

please send an exemplary project to , with reference to this thread, including as many details as possible (ideally the report generated by Vienna Assistant). Don't forget to add an audio file that also exhibits the issue for comparison, please.

BTW - what happens if you go back to more typical buffer sizes, like 1024 or 2048 in MIR's Preferences? I seem to remember that not all drivers are able to cope with extremes like you've chosen.

TIA!

Hmmm ... I can't test Logic here, but I'll forward this issue to VSL's developers. Thanks for reporting!

As far as I know the values implemented in the most recent version of MIR 3D (build 556 and higher) should be the correct ones, but I'll double check. Thanks for the hint!

Hi Pixelpoet,

Yes, the 3D view implies some new approaches in the handling of Icons directly on the stage of a MIR Venue. Especially for Icons near the Main Microphone, it may be necessary to either change the viewing angle of the Venue Map, or to use the display for coordinates and rotations in the Instrument Panel on the right side:

For easier orientation you can always Ctrl-couble-click anywhere in the Venue Map to go back to "bird's eye view".

I'm not sure why you liked the old 2D Venue maps better - so far everyone I've spoken to has been absolutely amazed by the new look - but I'll keep your comment in mind. Thanks a lot!

Enjoy MIR 3D,

Hi Rasmus,

Your wishes have already been granted ;-) (... see attachment).

... or did I misunderstand your request?

Kind regards,

Sorry to ask (I'm not working in the same place as VSL's support staff): Did you send an exemplary project to already? I can't reproduce the issue here.

TIA,

Thanks for your input, I'll make sure that VSL's developers take note.

Just out of interest: What "problems" are you referring to (apart from an isolated issue in a very specific use case in raw Ambisonics setups)?

You're welcome! Enjoy MIR 3D. :-)

Yes, that's expected. The modulation does not sync to the tempo and/or the position in the arrangement.

Please set the Modulation Level to 0 and try again.

Hi Goran,

MIR 3D will open projects created with legacy MIR Pro without arguing ;-), no need to worry. Still there are some aspects to keep in mind:

• MIR 3D is sonically indistinguishable*) from legacy MIR Pro as long as you don't use any of its new features.
• *) ... indistinguishable, but not bit identical!
• Projects created with MIR 3D will NOT open in legacy MIR Pro (MIR is upwards-, but not downwards-compatible)
• MIR 3D and legacy MIR Pro can't co-exist on the same system.
• If you absolutely need to create bit-identical versions of older projects, it's easy to de-install MIR 3D, replacing it with legacy MIR Pro.
• MIR 3D relies on its own versions of RoomPacks, but they _can_ co-exist with the legacy RoomPacks, even in the same folder.
• This is true for both the VE Pro-based and the plug-in version of MIR 3D. 

If there are more things to clarify, please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

PS: VSL's software engineers are on stand-by already, waiting for your reproduction steps.

Hi António,

sorry to hear that you're facing problems. I was testing the raw Ambisonics Output Formats extensively, so there must a specific reason for these crashes on your system.

Please get in contact with , with reference to this thread. Include as many details as possible (ideally you let the Vienna Assistent create a report), and please also include an exemplary project (preferably Nuendo) that exhibits the issue. I'm sure VSL's developers will sort out the problem quickly, :-)

TIA,

Uh, that's really bad. Something must have gone wrong, because that's definitely not how MIR is intended to sound. Please tell us more about it (OS, host, audio system, latency settings, MIR buffer settings). It would also help to get hold of an exemplary project file that exhibits that issue on your end. Please send it to with reference to this thread.

TIA!

What you experience is simply the change between the individual positional impulse responses. Dependent on the position of the Icon on a MIR Venue's stage (or more precisely: dependent on the position of its Width-handles) the closest set of IRs is chosen and prepared for convolution according to the chosen Instrument Profile and Output Format.

You have assigned the High-Directivity General Purpose profile, which is not very suitable for a broad ensemble like that men's choir you were using in the audio demo, that's why the effect seems to be exaggerated. Try a Wide Cardioid or even Omni profile instead.

HTH,

(PS: I moved this thread to the sub-forum dedicated to MIR-related topics.)

Hi Steve,

While this is not the most ideal, "official" way to use MIR (... which indeed would have been to use one instance for each source), it is a perfectly valid second best option - similar to ensemble recordings.

Some random hints:

- Use equal or similar instruments only to feed these submixes 

- Spread your sources from hard left to hard right to give MIR the chance to pan the (virtual) ensemble properly

- Make sure to use General Purpose Instrument Profiles to avoid unpredictable results

- Try to keep actual soloists separated from these submixes, for better differentiation.

Enjoy MIR! :-)

If I understand your question correctly, than it's simply about the possibility to load the Venue-specific settings (Main Mic, Secondary Mic, Output Format(s), RoomEQ Bank etc ...) without changing already positioned Icons on a stage. This is great for trying different setups of the same Venue - just as a very obvious example.

FYI: I already forwarded this inquiry to VSL's developers.

Best,

No, I can't, I always use dongles.
