Excellent work Stephen! Thanks for this late Christmas present.

Sorry for the downer, and thanks for your patience.

I didn't realise there was a page 2 of this doh! Thanks for the update, appreciate it. I might just soldier on with Mojave for now, I might try the cool solution by thomasjdev. Well see, either way I'll just make music.

VSL any update on this? It's been a few months now. I'm back on Mojave as there's no resolution, but I'd rather upgrade (I'll be 2 OS behind shortly). If there's no fix or plans to that's fine, at least I can either stay or move on and delete MIR. Thanks

Yeah defo mate, I totally agree. I do agree that it looks like a Metal vs OpenGL related issue. Just weird how it works under 10.4... and under 10.5 as long as you don't have that window open and hit space!

At least I can continue using it now albeit under caution.

Quick update.

Sent logs etc to support. I did find when/where this exactly happens, as it seemed random at first. It is as soon as you press play (spacebar) when the main MIR window is in focus. I even loaded an empty software track - loaded MIR plugin - raised the window - press play = crash.

So, as long as you don't press play with that main window is open it's fine. I could add tracks etc. Even open the main GUI and move instruments, settings etc. Close the window. Press play and all fine. It's something when the GUI is open and you hit spacebar.

See what they come back with. 

edit: couldn't get this to crash on 10.4 using the above method. Every time under 10.5

Thanks for your patience!

Awesome mate, will do!

Yes, used 10.4 and no crash. Save the project, opened again with no issues.

Opened with 10.5 and bang within seconds

Could be! Maschine works though... I ain't got a clue to be honest

I'll retrieve a backup of Logic 10.4 and see how that floats for now.

Hey

Thanks for the update, really appreciate it man. Saves me troubleshooting it any further.

@VSL do you have a time frame on this potential fix?

Just tried using it through Maschine, using VST's and no issues. Even put a drum kit through it.

Hi

I'm on 10.15.5 and latest Logic

When I use MIR it kills the logic session but MIR remains open. I can load a venue, but shortly aferwards it dies.

Btw MIR always reports Software 6.5 build 18926 is available. I download & install it. Still reports the same?

I run everything from SSD:s, so I set the Preload to 2048 quite some time ago, and have had no problems up until now. So I didn't even think of checking that. I now changed the value to 8192 for the specific affected libraries, and it's all like clockwork (a few more Gb's of RAM usage, no biggie :)).

I know this is old, but saved me hours! Thanks so much :)

I had these pops, but my Preload was set after running the Synchron player check tool. So I dropped these down and now zero issues.

Just thought I would say thanks, and bump the fix for any recent buyers that may have a similar problem.

Hi

Did you get sorted?

I checked mine and there's no "Download Instrument patches". Maybe the installation needs running again?

Excellent, so I'll bin the update files thanks!

I do have Solo Strings Full from previous purchase. I expect it's more "user issue" than anything  

Be great if VSL posted more videos like this, as watching the articulations list pop on screen whilst listening gives you a great idea on how the library should be used.

Thanks Michael

Hi

I just bought Cube standard, so happy!

I noticed there's updates available but these are dated older than the file I'm downloading. Am I right to assume these newer downloads include those updates? Or should I apply them anyway?

e.g Chambers Strings -  main 2013-06-23 and update 2011-12-13

Second:

In the official VSL video below at 1:45 (time linked) how do you perform those chord like rakes? Are they just slighty off grid to each other? Mine never seem to sound like this. People notmally do these at the end of a piece correct? Like a tada!
