3.MIR Pro 3D - how do you change instruments to alphabetical order? 12/11/2022 4:46:31 AM

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 .

4.MIR Pro 3D - how do you change instruments to alphabetical order? 12/10/2022 11:21:09 PM

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

7.Video - how to score movie using VSL - Vi series/synchron 8/20/2021 3:15:31 AM

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

8.Vepro crashes Logic when you press space bar 7/1/2020 1:08:29 AM

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

9.How to score a movie scene using VSL (VI/BBO Library Video) 4/28/2020 11:34:11 PM

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

10.How to make VSL Strings sound great (VI Library Video) 4/18/2020 4:12:47 PM

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

11.Dimension Strings II con Sordino question 4/14/2020 10:24:14 PM

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.

12.How to make VSL Strings sound great (VI Library Video) 4/14/2020 9:59:28 PM

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

13.How to make VSL Strings sound great (VI Library Video) 4/14/2020 2:38:51 AM

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

14.How to make VSL Strings sound great (VI Library Video) 4/9/2020 6:09:26 PM

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

15.VI Pro Retina / HiDPI Support 3/7/2020 3:26:48 PM

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

16.VI Pro Retina / HiDPI Support 3/5/2020 11:01:00 PM

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

17.VI Pro Retina / HiDPI Support 3/5/2020 7:39:55 PM

Paul,

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

Thank you,

Eloy

18.Mojave Channel set location 11/3/2019 3:05:45 PM
You are a smart man Civilization 3.
I had looked at the same file before but did not see Channel sets.
Then I unhide the files by using “press Command + Shift + Period to instantly toggle to show hidden files”.

Thank you!
19.Mojave Channel set location 10/30/2019 1:05:22 AM
I have saved some Channel sets in VEP server 6 and want share them.
Where (this is probably a silly /simple question) is the folder location?
Mojave 10.14.5
Thank you

I love VSL products- they are so versatile.
After sketching out a couple of themes I downloaded (shutterstock) videos to fit mood of music.
Please share me your thoughts.

21.SY Strings I: FREE Cantabile Update for all sections (except basses) 7/4/2019 12:15:51 AM

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

22.SY Strings I: FREE Cantabile Update for all sections (except basses) 7/2/2019 3:09:26 PM
Paul,

Will there be an update to the VI version of the Synchron strings?

Thank you,
Eloy
23.Future of Vienna Instruments 6/16/2019 12:06:32 AM
I love the VI series samples with MIR and a breath controller ( Paul turned me onto the Hornberg controller = fantastic). You can be at Teldex (w/MIR) and all the Berlin libraries are in the same location as your VSL. Synchron libraries are at Synchron. I love all the articulations that come with the VI series. Why? I purchased Afflatus - great library for legato. However after listening to Afflatus samples I realized that with the combination of Orchestral strings/(4) dimension strings (different articulations) in one VI Pro slot - you can have the exact sound - with even better sonic quality ( sustains exp/sustains vibrato/sustains no vibrato - 3 separate slots for realism and all with legato = Wow! - not possible with Afflatus) . Can I do that with Synchron series? NO! Synchron has missing articulations. VI series with Mirpro = true flexibility. This is something VSL never showed in their videos. The videos showed how the the various ViPro functions operate- but did not show them in actual day to day usages.

I could go on but it is just frustrating that such a brilliant piece of software was never explained..........
24.Synchron Orchestral Strings in Synchron Player -- when? 6/14/2018 10:25:58 PM
Paul,

I know this is difficult saying next week,next week,next week.......
Building a new Synchron software platform is not easy.
Neither is it good for VSL reputation.
Allow us some insight into your struggles. This will go a long way as many of us are emotionally invested into VSL.

Thank you,
Eloy
25.Re-install Yamaha CFX 6/7/2018 1:04:18 PM
I had a similar situation Synchron player would not open in VEP. I went to preferences in VEP, “rescanned all” and the player appeared with the library. I hope this works. Thank you
