Hi, I own the Special-Edition Volume 1 and 2 Basic and 1 and 2 Plus, but when I try to upgrade to the Synchronized version the Synchronized Edition 2 Plus shows up there full price. Its that normal? Thanks

Hi Paul, I deleted VI pro and reinstalled but it did not finish the validation on logic. But after retrying it three times it worked. Thanks again for your great service! Alfred 

Hi Paul,

it just did not occur on the Logic Instrument list. Hope it works soon because I love it!

Hello friends,

I am surprised that Vienna Instruments Pro don't work on my M1-Mac on Big Sur - the Synchron libraries do. Any idea?

Best Alfred

Ciao Paolo,

cool answer. Do you think the Regulus Sounds as good as the Full Library of FX Strings? 
maybe I really go with FX String in the cheap version first and add the full library later

Hi Ben,

sorry if I bother you again. Would you prefer the Standard Synchron FX Strings over the Big Bang Regulus. I followed your advice and saw that the FX Strings have more articulations but are the limited microphone-options of the Standard-library sufficient for a great sound?

Thank you

Thank you, Ben!

Hi,

how big is the difference between the Regulus library and the Synchron FX Strings? I downloaded Regulus and I am impressed. But as an owner of Synchron Strings Pro I wonder if the Standard library of Synchron FX might be better for me than the Regulus.

Stay healthy

Dear VSL-Team,

I spend quite some money for you libraries in the last years but this time its really worth it. In it´s ease of use its a real gift, even i payed for it. Hihi. Congratulation!. 

Sorry Paul,

I was just worried that I don't have enough thunderbolt slots in the iMac. If I use one for the second vomiter and the other one for SSD I have no other slot left for storage.

Best Alfred

Dear Paul,

thank you so much! Now I have a good foundation for my further decision. Just one last question: how do you connect the m.2 SSD-drives and the bigger HDDs to your 2013 iMac? And: could the Ethernet connection of the iMac 2020 be an option to connect an NAS as a further option to the two Thunderbolt-slots or is too slow?

Thanks in advance

Alfred 

Hey Paul,

great to get this answer I asked in the past so often before. I think I will go for the iMac 2020 10core. Which kind of SSD-drives do you take for using VSL- and video-editing? Or would you wait for the silicone Macs? My 12 core Mac Pro mid 2010 ist just struggling with the Synchron libraries and as a VSL-devotee I would love to get the full Synchron strings.

Best Alfred

Hi, is the iMac 2019 fast enough to run Synchron-libraries? I consider to get one - or better the 10core 2020 iMac - because the MacPro is not affordable for me. Thanks

Hi Lupine,

I asked this question before too and do not get an answer. But I am afraid that the 16core Mac Pro 2019 (with 192 or 96 Gb of Ram) is the best choice. I own a 12core mid 2010 Mac Pro with SSDs, 96 Gb of Ram and all but the processor speed of the single cores seems to be too slow for Synchron. I considered the iMac early 2019 but it only has 8 cores and is limited to only 2 Thunderbolt slots on one bus. The 10core iMac Pro is still a option because of it´s Thunderbolt slots but with enough Ram it´s nealy a costy as the Mac Pro 2019 and not as future prove. And the new Mac Pro is silent like a husband after 10 years of marriage. 

If you don´t need an expensive GPU  would recommend the Mac Pro 2019. But who am I haha. I was asking for advice too.

Let´s see if some crack in here will share his or her wisdom with us. 

Hi friends,
For many years I was saving money to buy the new Mac Pro and get rid of my good old mid 2010 Mac Pro. But when I configure this lovely new computer I end up at €13,500 and including the hard drive box I have to add another €2300. I do video editing in 4K And I have about 5 TB of sample libraries I want to use on a hard drive that is fast. Is there any alternative to this monster computer? The iMac early 2019 has only two thunderbolt slots on one bus and the MacBook Pro 2019 has four of them but maybe not enough speed. Would external Thunderbolt drives be fast enough? What would you recommend if I want to stay on Mac?

Hey, that sounds good. 6 instances means 6 Synchron-instruments or more? And wat is BFD3? Sorry i ask that stupid

Good idea. Do you think it will be sufficient for Synchron. The Mac Pro seems to be over 10.000 if fully equipped. How much RAM should the IMac pro have?

Hi Stephen, so an iMac or iMac Pro with 8 cores does have enough cores and threats? My Mac Pro 2010 has 12 cores and 24 threats but I am afraid the cpu might be too slow for Synchron.

Hi friends,

is my Mac Pro mid 2010 with 2x3,46 MHz CPU with 96GB Ram and three SSDs (each makling between 250 and 500 MBit) still capable for the Snychron libraries. And if not: would the iMac 2019 or the iMac Pro be sufficient. Or should I better wait for the MacPro?

Which is the perfect Mac-configuration for Synchron at the moment?

Best Alfred

Thank you Paul,

I will do as the master says. Maybe first move m licences from the two dofferent keys i have to a new key and then update to Sierra.

Best, Alfred

I plugged it to different ports on the MacPro directly. But I am not sure if i tried all of them. Di you think it depends which port i chose?

Thank you, Paolo. Now i am a bit afraid to upgrade because the srvice-function on the e-licencer does not work well even now with Yosemite. All strange. 

Alfredo

Hello friends,

when i upgraded to Sierra from Yosemite on my mid 2010 MacPro last year the dongle wit my VSL licences was not accepted or recognized anymore. My Inateck USB 3.0 Card was not there anymore too.  I was stupid enough not to remove the USB-cables during the upgrade. After that i reinstalled El Capitan. 

Is it possible that the dongle is too old to be recognized under Sierra?

Thanks fpr helping me

Alfred

Hi friends,

I once puchased the Special Edition Plus in the full content on DVD years ago. How can I upgrade to the present download version of Special Edition Plus? As if possibile - does it make sense and can I benefit from the recent SE offer?

Hi Ciprianis, thanl you so much for your help - now I realise that I opened the VE 64bit and not the VE 64bit Server. The adress occurs in the window now, but when I open it, VE does not load the Instruments as before. And because I never saved the Instruments in VE as a project maybe I lost all information. Just strang that it workeed this way before. Maybeno good idea to use a software without really understanding it. Hmmm.
