Now that I purchased the Solo Strings I and after thinking I am stupid for 2 days I found out that the Violin patches differ from the others. I was heading for detache notes without vibrato and after looking into the manual this patch appears - but just in the Violin. Thought that the Instrument Patches are congruent.

Hi everyone,

Are the samples of the SE1+ solo strings the same as in the "full" Solo Strings I Package?

Means:

Special Edition 1: Solo Violin - legato F# to G
Solo Strings I: Solo Violin - legato F# to G

 => are the same samples?

(yes I know there are less articulations in the SE. I'm just talking about those in the SE1+)

Edit: to enter my SE1 Serial (boxed) in the "MyProducts" section will not add it to the list. It says that it is already registered.

Hi Paul and thanks,

I downloaded and installed.

One more things because of my SpringCleaning ambition:

In the Start-Menu I got two folders

1) Vienna Instruments (includes .exe of Directory Manager/ Libary Installer / Vienna Ensemble / Vienna Ensemble Service / Vienna Instruments

2) Vienna Instruments Pro (includes .exe of Directory Manager / Lobary Installer / Vienna Instruments Pro (Standalone)

=> I'm wondering if I got some doubling there. I just use VSL SE 1-4 Plus and the Vienna Instruments Pro 2 Player. Is there outdated stuff?
=> I have two entries in the Systemcontrol/Software Part of my Windows:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/o2lnu36murut5wq/vienna%20double.png?dl=0

Maybe I can de-install something and then re download the latest version of VI Pro 2 and the Directory Manager without affecting the installed libaries?

On the "My products" page - I dont seem to own the "SE 1" (bought it on DVD in the 2000s) - just from the SE 1 Plus to SE 4.
On the "My Download" page I can Dowload and install the SE 1. Seems to be not really a problem but confuses me a little bit.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

confusion on my folderstructure and I want to clean things up.

I have in the 200Xs bought the SE1 on DVDs

Later I updated on all 4 and the Plus Libaries - all via Downloads.

Now there are 2 different Folders ( on C:\ and E:\ ) and I wonder if I can delete one of them:

C:\ .... \Vienna\Libary\100SpecialEdition ___ (got 56 GB of DAT Files called "SpecialEdition022.dat" and so on)

E:\ ... \ ViennaInstruments ___ with a clear 4 folderstructure like SE1 Plus / SE2 / SE3 / SE4

=> can I delete the 101 Folder? The Point is that on my E path - there is no SE1 folder (just SE1Plus)
 => the SE2 Plus folders are inside de SE2 folder.
 => may the missing SE1 folder is equal to the 100SpecialEdition folder and therefore shall NOT be deleted?

I hope that my question is clear and not confusing. :)

Hi there,

two questions:

1.) When I made a big orchestrapiece two or three years ago I was verry proud when the VSL Team put it into their demo section (and newsletter :) ). Some moths ago I had a new piece and got verry good feedback (most in other communities) So I have mailed the VSL Team and asked if they will like it for their demo-section but they never answered. This is not a complainment! but I am wondering if the VSL Team is still accepting (or maybe looking) for stuff for their demosection. Or if this part is simply not updated anymore?

2.) The Music-/ Demosection again :) ... am I the only one who finds this confusing? Wouldn't it be good to clean it up (... a lot)? I mean there is Bach and there is KoRn. There are Bedroomcomposers (me :) ) and VSL-Allstars. Old Stuff and new Stuff... when I was comparing new libaries some months ago the VSL Demosection looked verry random and/or overwhelming to me. And it looked like it was 7 years ago ;)

So my question is: what really is this part of the website made for and what will it be in some years?

I'm just curious. Greetings.

Hi,

okay I set the VSTIs in the Vienna MIRx Konzerthaus Großer Saal. Every Instrument as it is on default. (When I activate MIRx für a Flute Track - its default adjustments are "Flute 1" - as it seems to be related to classical orchestral settings. Could be a little bit to big.

Singer is on a default "Medium Vocal Concert Hall" setting (lexicon/LexConcertHall)

Predelay 8ms _/_ Rev Time 1.5 sec _/_ Rev Out Freq 2000Hz _/_Diffusion 72% _/_HiCut 6000Hz _/_ BassRT 1.00x _/_ Early Level -1.5 _/_ Dry/Wet Mix: 43%

Thanks :)

So ... any more opinions?

Hi there,

I arranged and "samplizized" :) my Version of Pirate Jenny of the ThreePennyOpera.

=> how do you like the arrangement?
(Voc / Fl / Cl 1+2 / Bsn / Tr / Tromb / Ce / Db / Timp / Perc&ringididing / Guit / Pno)

My aim was it to set it as realistic as it could go.
=> What do you think about the sound / mix... I'm really struggeling with reverbation especially to put the singer into the "same hall" as the Orchestra.

I just have used VSL SE 1 Plus - old stuff but can it get the job done?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k9n35o7hhm2tze/Seer%C3%A4uberjenny.mp3?dl=0

Thank you :)

Hey,

thanks a lot. It was verry much work and so I'm glad you like it.

About the question with the pic and the glissiandoeffect - there is allways a trace of another instrument - this case some Viola and normal Flute. So the arrangement does most of the work.

The articulation... there is not "the" articulation. ;) This is verry handmade and sometimes one note took 23times of trying and erroring... or 52times. I allways use different articulations in different orders with different settings different colours. This is the freedom I need to make it sound like that. So sorry, the answer isn't easy to get. ;)

Hi there,

I posted my first Version of Mussorgski's Masterpiece some months ago. Now as I have the SE 2+ I upgraded my project. Would you please have a look and comment. Spent 254.349³ hours on that...

Dont know how to get more out of the SE 1 and 2

Any tips? Comments?

Night on Bald Mountain

Does the "Semitone" button in VI pitch or does it load the other sample?

If I have a patch normal stac(a) and a patch stac with the "semitone"-assignment(b) to " +1

And if I have the midi notes:

d1 for normal stacc and

c#1 for Semitone+1

=> will the same sample be loaded? Or does it pitch?

Hi,

is it a problem to install my SE Complete on different drives?

SE1 is installed on my System SSD.

But there is not enough spcae for the complete bundle SE 1 plus, 2 , 2 plus , 3 and 4 ... so I'd like to install them on another HDD Drive.

Is it recommended to reinstall SE 1 together with the others on the HDD?

No problem. I'm doing this because I want to find ways to make this old libary as good as the other more hyped libaries. But its definetly not easy. Andthe last 5% is allways 90% of the work

ach deutsch is auch ok ;)

Hey, I slightly worked on the repetitions. I took 2 fu***** days :D but I can't squeeze more out of the verry basic Vienna Libary I think.

The sound of the room and the depths of instrument groups are maybe my biggest problems. What do you think about the version now?

Night o bald Mountain

Thank you all for your nice comments and words :)

Hi,

I could need some feedback from the Vienna Community.

I made Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain - with SE 1. Its was a hell of a work. So for now I could need some comments. Wich parts still sound to much artificial. Is it nice? Looking forward for any tips.

That was the point of confusion.

Thanks Paul. I'll think about

Hi,

I really cant find it... can I upgrade my SE 1 to SE 1 Plus? Or do I have to buy it.

What if I would just buy SE 1 Plus? (and not have SE 1 )

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to put a Vienna made playback together with a "real" singer (pop-"epic"). I've some problems to find the right balances and adjustments in reverbation, loudnes and so on.

The Question is: are there any good examples for me to hear or some pages/workshops/information with tips and open knowledge :)

I havent found any examples on the Vienna page so far. Is there anyone with experience who could help a little bit.

(I'm using Samplitude with its Variverb)

Hey Paul,

sorry it was foolish by me ;)

You were right, I downloaded the latest installer, but not the latest E-Licenser Version. They seem to be incompatible in different versions.

Thanks...

Hello, so now I have an installing problem:

(I have the DVD Version)

Installed the Sychrosoft eLicenser thing - works (semms to)

Downloaded the Latest "Vienna Instruments Installer" and installed.

Started the Libary Installer - Setup says:

"You will be asked to locate the package.info file to start the installation of your Vienna Instruments Libary

DVD Collections:

Find this file on DVD 1 of your Vienna Instruments DVD collection"

In the following Window I click on even that file on the first DVD and an error

"Applikation 'VSL' hat den folgenden Fehler verursacht:
 
DCOM connection to program 'Synsopos.exe' failed.
     Error:Ausnahmefehler des Servers."

I changed the suggested installation directory of the V Installer (c:/programm files/whatever) to my own. Is this a problem? I cant see anythng else I may did wrong...

Windows 7 SP1

Hallo,

I want build up my new Desktop PC and want to format my HDD where my VSL Standard Ed is Installed.

First: I have a SSD with 250 GB. Want to Install Windows 7/8 AND the Libary. How much free disk space should i leave. ... Good Plan?

Second: Is it simple to reinstall and activate my Licence? I'm afraid to forget something or that my Licence is bound to my actuall system or something else. Is it an easy way to reinstall and reactivate?

Greetings.

Hope the thread is at the right place.
