Short update: my problem is solved and I feel like an idiot right now. There was no problem with any setting in VE Pro 5. I had a pretty huge Multiband Compressor in the Master Bus for the whole Orchestra which had such a huge latency.
Anyway, thank's to VSL for such awesome libraries and softwares! ;)

Thanks for the replies. I tried lowering the buffer to zero but this didn't help at all. Two days ago I upgraded to VEPro 5 as I needed it anyway and am currently only using it on one local computer (Windows 7).

My audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 which isn't the best in terms of latency. It's around 20ms in general but this usually is OK for most VST instruments. The current latency of all instruments in VEPro feels like half/third of a second which is totally unplayable. Does the latency increase with more channels? I currently have 25 channels in VEPro.

If I use Vienna Instruments in Cubase itself without Ensemble Pro the latency is superb an playable. The settings in Ensemble are like this: Multiprocessing - 4 Threads, Plugin Latency Compensation Enabled. In the server interface the buffer is set to none but even there it adds another 5,2ms which should be OK!

I'm really not sure where this nasty latency comes from... I know that some latency comes from the CPU which in my case is an Intel i7-2600k with 3,4GHz.

Hi guys,
i'm currently using the VSL SE Bundle Vol. 1 with the usual Vienna Ensemble 5 (not pro) in combination with Cubase 7.5.
Everything works flawlessly except that i got a pretty big latency when with all Vienna sounds. It makes some faster staccato playing impossible and i have to program every single note which takes quite some time.
This even occurs when i put my ASIO buffe size to the lowest size (approx. 10ms in general).
However, all other softsynths don't have that big latency. I'm using stuff like Halion 5 or MOTU MachFive 3.
I checked a few settings in the Ensemble interface but nothing seems to work this out.
Any ideas on how to lower the latency? Regards, Raab

Hello there,

i know there has been another thread about using MIR (especially Roompack 2) for a usual band environment but i was just asking this myself: Would it make sense to use the MIR Roompack 2 - thinking of the "Großer Sendesaal" - to mix a metal band in front of the stage and place the orchestra just as you would with a real orchestra behind the group?

I'm currently thinking of purchasing MIR24 as i'm having lots of trouble getting some real dimension into my mix. At the moment all the reverbs in Cubase (Softube TSAR-1 e.g.) with different pre-delays sound just too muffled and washy. It gets my mix pretty cluttered. Would this change if using MIR?

Thanks in advance!
