I have owned Dimension Brass for many years. However after purchasing Mir Pro 3D Dimension Brass sounded shiny and new. So I made a video - see below link. Let me know your thoughts. Am I wrong?

Thank you, Eloy

Everyone,

I would like to share how to make your music sound cinematic using VSL products only. Please see below link. Thank you, Eloy

Marco,

I use the A/B switches quite a lot for the dynamic samples. Example: in the DYNAMIC folders - The A/B switch will allow Crescendo or Diminish (where available). This adds so much to your music. Eloy

Beat,

Thank you for listening and your thoughts/video links (will check them out). I do like the sheen/timbre that MIRPRO3D gives the VI Series and am happy that VSL has given us more tools.  

Once again Thank you for listening,

Eloy

I want to share this deep dive video with all of you. It was a joy making the demo and video. Eloy

I would like to share with you my video thoughts of Divisimate and VI Instruments. Thank you, Eloy

We’ll it is good to know it was not something I missed.

I must say that MIR Pro 3D sounds wonderful and is a great tool for the VI series with Divisimate. Thank you for the hard work and quick reply .

I want to have MIR Pro 3D instruments to be in the same order as VEP7 instances.

VePro allows you to change instance order by right clicking instance tab and selecting “ sort alphabetically“.
How do you do this in MIR PRO 3D?

Thank you, Eloy

To all,

Dracula 1931 had no original score so I inserted a new on with a" How I did it Video".

Enjoy and let me know your thoughts. Thank you, Eloy Sherlock

To All,

Please check out my VI Dimension strings review, demos and set up video. It is full of great information.

I love using VSL products and made a video scoring a scene from the silent movie epic Napoleon. The first part of the video shows the scene, the second part shows how it was done - ENJOY!

Thank you, Eloy

How to score a movie scene - Link

What is in conflict?

I am using VePro 6 server 6.5.18941(one computer only -no slave- MacPro 16 core) Whenever I press the space bar on my computer keyboard, (if I am in the Vepro screen), Logic Pro 10.5.1 quits.😱😱😱 If I am in the Logic Pro screen the space bar works fine. What is my conflict?🤷‍♂️

Thank you, Eloy

I love  music and made a 2nd video - How to score a movie scene (using VSL). This time I took the great silent movie Faust- and composed a new score. It is a 2 part video - the first half introduction and scene one- the 2nd half a tutorial. Thank you, Eloy

Roy and Holgmiester,

Thank you for watching the video. I am going to film another one when I finish scoring the 1926 Faust movie (personal enjoyment -maybe 2 weeks). It will have screen shots of the single cell string matrix patches. I always work to perform all tracks live with as little adjustments as possible. By using the Hornberg breath controller (I know it is expensive- invest in your tools) volume,velocity xfade, expression and slot cross fade (foot pedal -vibrato) are controlled in 1 take. My template has adjusted Volume,velocity and xfade  "curves" under the control map - this is a must (otherwise you spend too much time tinkering) for me. No there no such thing as "purity" - only what sounds good. Yes the "perception" of sound has changed in 2020 and is constantly evolving - but the instruments are the same. Practice makes perfect- work on the talent God gave you- few people have it. Eloy

Mike,

The Chamber II strings (Sordino - extended library) DO have non vibrato (put non vibrato in slot A and vibrato in slot B to cross fade-put attack to about 56 on main controls). Real string players alternate between non vibrato and vibrato. If you want to get adventurous-add solo string II artificial harmonic sustain patch in slot 2 -lower the patch mixer level and prepare to be astounded.Mixing the 3 libraries gives you a gorgeous sound -but expensive. However buying another devolepers library is expensive too.

Thorsteinn,

Exactly! Example I purchased Afflatus strings -truly a lovely library but, they have no player - the workflow became bad. So, I listened carefully to their beautiful violins "scene d'amour" patch and recreated it with multiple VSL VI string samples in one cell - you cannot tell the difference (using the mixer to adjust sample patch levels). Now I have the "Afflatus sounds" with a better workflow. Plus they are missing so many articulations. Another example- Metropolis ark-a great sounding library with BIG strings - you can recreate that sound with the VSL VI string series- use MIR Pro Teldex(same recording location as all Berlin libraries). VSL recorded real strings dry and gives you different halls to put them in -but, they never showed me (or you) IN A VIDEO that once you own all of the string VI series that you can combine and have virtully endless combinations. Instead you buy new string libraries in the hope that you will get the Holy Grail of strings. But once you buy the other libraries you realize it is not the Holy Grail. That is when I started to listen to what I liked about the other libraries and imitate them. Also once you move the second microphone in MIR Pro to the back of the room and adjust DB-WOW! VSL gives you the best tools- they are expensive,time consuming and complicated. But once you learn them and set up your template (many,many,many months) you can do anything your talent allows. Thank you, Eloy

Fabio,

You are one observant man. Many years ago I purchased a pair of 7506 for my studio. I kept buying the same headphones so everybody would have the same levels while recording.

VSL products are really great. I wish "easy to understand" VSL videos were made when I started investing into their products - it would have made the journey easier. Thank you, Eloy

I love music  and made ( I have extra time these days) a video of "How to make VSL strings sound great". Please share your tips fot the VI Libraries. Thank you, Eloy

Stephen,

My set up - 12 core 2013 Mac Pro and a 6 core Mini Mac 2018 slave using VEP 6. Upgraded to VEP 7 (beacause retina update does not work in VEP 6) and and new Pro Instrument 2 retina - it looks gorgeous! However, my CPU went through the roof/ buffer sizes went up,up,up. I had to revert, brook my heart as everything was so clear. Paul, I for one could live with  with Pro Instrument 2 at 100%. I look forward to VSL working on the performance issues. Thank you, Eloy

The upgrade does not work with VEP 6 - only VEP 7. Also Dewdman is right- there needs to be a setting between 100 (too small) and 200 (way to big). Currently I am using a LG 43" 4K monitor.

Thank you, Eloy

Paul,

This is fantastic news. Does this update affect CPU usage?

Thank you,

Eloy

Paul,

Yes you are right. Mixing the Synchron strings with older libraries using the portamentos sounds great.

This works best when you use the VI Version (Lots of VI library sample choices) of Synchron I strings (close mic). You can make wonderful sounding matrixes using VI Pro (and MIR giving multiple rooms). While the Syncronized string library versions have less choices of samples.....and you only have 1 room choice. 

Thank you,

Eloy
