Hello,

I recently purchased Brass 2 to go with brass 1. I use level 1 and 2 presets in Brass 1 in my template. The Brass 2 downloaded to a separate section in the Vienna player under download instruments, not with other brass instruments. this is fine but I thought I'd mention it incase it was an issue.

None of the Brass 2 presets have level one or level two, only "preset VIPRO" and another which is the name of the instrument.

I wondered if I had downloaded incorrectly or something as it would be very useful to have the same presets for all of the brass.

I only had the standard version in brass 2.....

 

many thanks in advance.

 

Martyn.

Thank you!

 

I just checked the update and indeed it is there:)

Hi,

 

Im in the middle of a project and using my new Dimension strings synchronized. I cannot find the XF and XFSUS presets. The presets are just the name of the instruments without the XF or XFSUS at the end. In the manual it says they are there, but can't see them on any of the videos or in my player. I always use the shorts velocity only in my template.

 

Help?

 

Many Thanks,

Hi,

 I have a template with logic using the AU3 template you made. All is working really well so far... i have an issue I can't work out and would like some help.

I have one instance of vepro 7 with 8 ports, and I'm routing all the instruments into Vepro 7 .

 I'm trying to add 3 audio tracks and route them to Vepro 7 so that I can mix them there, also it really helps the cpu load.

 i followed the instructions on the tutorial video on each channel. adding ensemble pro and I/O. On the tutorial video I can see there are 32 channels to choose from. On my I/O I only have stereo, so I can only route to channel 1 and 2, and not separate the channels.I'm using one instance of the AU3 with 25 channels.Any help appreciated.

Martyn.

SOLVED

In the manual it states that I needed to add I/O to the channel strip. maybe its different because I'm using the AU3 template, but I simply added a VEP audio input to the stem, added the input on the top right and it works great .

Hi,

You have to select"no reset" on every channel which is next to the "no transpose" on the left of the main screen.

Hmm , I have logic 9.1. I've used logic for about 4 years and haven't had this problem for some time(years). Does the sound happen when there's only midi tracks (no audio) or does it happen whatever?

I do find I have strange things happen when I play a logic 8 project on a logic 9 once I've upgraded. A bit annoying.

I have a mac pro 8 core, original motu traveller..

Hi,

This has happened to me a few times when i download new software. Like above said , restart the computer, or sometimes just unplugging the key and replugging it into another usb port makes it work too.

Hi ,

The above pictures all pretty much the same just with different shaped rooms and some added instruments. There can be differences with the live orchestra and "Movie " orchestra.

Basically though,

1st violins on the left, 2nd Violins next to them (to the right) then Violas in the middle, Cellos on the right side(opposite 1st Violins) and Basses behind them. 

Behind the Strings from left to right

French Horns, Flutes,Oboes,Clarinets,bassoons, Trumpets,Trombones,Tuba.

Behind them Percussion spread left to right. 

Bells, Mallets and then drums and Timpani.

In Movie writing they often move the Basses to the middle of the mix so that the "bass" is not one sided. Also you might want to angle the violas from the dead center so that they don't fight the basses if you do that.

Another possibility is to put the 1st violins on the left and the 2nd Violins on the right of the conductor and put the Violas and cellos in between them. This can bring more balance depending on what you are composing.

I also experiment with percussion positions as I find the Timps can get lost with the low end strings so I bring them a little more center too.

This is very basic and I'm sure other people will have their thoughts, 

M.

Could you clarify your process. Are you mixing on head phones, and then using the same head phones on another computer? or are you listening through the speakers of the computer?

My net work master was a mac book pro, which only used logic. I am presuming it had something to do with the limits of the mac book pro , but I figured as everything else was on my slave it would be ok. 

I left the ports at 32, but only because I don't like to move anything unless I have a reason as everything seems to have a knock on effect. There are so many settings within each DAW, VI , audio card, you can end up chasing your tail. 

I would reduce them if i heard it was beneficial.

I was disappointed with not being able to use more instances as it's so much easier to organize , but I think in the end it's the limit of Logic, which seems to be playing catch up with the whole 64 bit technology.

I did find that moving the Kontakt buffer to 200, and turning of multi processor support made a big difference in performance.

HI ,

 I don't have as many servers,and I'm just using a mac pro 8 core at the moment. I built a template with 24 and VE wouldn't find the instances when opened in Logic. Strange thing though, when I opened logic on the master machine, it did. well I'm down to 14 instances now, which is stable. I could probably have more but need to work :)

M.

I'm sure we are doing this, but, i have hanging notes sometimes , especially when using LASS Speed over many divisions. I have found however , that if I record a quick pedal on pedal off at the end of the phrase , it prevents it from happening.

M.

I have the same problem. I'm using altiverb through auxs too. It sounds phasey and strange when I use the IR color. I wrote on the altiverb site , but the tech just said it was how it was meant to be. I too have no dry sound going through only the direct when using it as an insert. 

No help Im afraid, but you're not alone with this confusion.

M.

Thank you again for your quick reply.

I'm testing various options, and I've reduced my instances by half by using all 16 channels on all of them. I would like to ask two questions as it is a little confusing to me, so that I can set up my optimum system.

1) Is it only the amount of VEPRO instances that affect the memory of my master (macbook Pro) or also the amount of samples in the instance

2) and is there any difference if its 64 or 32 bit. For example, if I had 10 64 bit instances on my slave , would they affect the performance of my master the same as 10 32 bit instances!



thanks,

M.

Thanks for the timely reply

I hadn't connected to any instances when the server froze, I was only trying to connect for the first time. When I pressed connect, the server was blank and the beach ball was spinning. No problem when using within the same computer. Also i have been using similar amounts of memory with the Kontakt memory server for some time with success. I reorganized with more instances so that I could disconnect or add sections as needed.

I haven't gone beyond the first connection as yet, so I don't know if I reduce the instances there will be more issues. I will try today.


Thanks,

M.

How much memory is the 32bit server using?

between 4.8 GB and 7 GB depending on the preloader buffer setting in Kontakt which I was experimenting with.( virtual memory is on.


How much memory is Logic using?

Logic is using nothing but its own memory. on the master which has about 2.5 GB free on my 4GB mac book pro.


Do you get the same result if the instances are Preserved, and loaded (via metaframe) before you launch Logic?

Exactly what I've been doing. I set up 18 32 bit instances , all preserved. The server works fine with just the 32 bit server with up ro 20 instances , and is able to connect..The same with the 5 64 bit server. It's only when together (23 to 25 instances) that the sever on the master goes to the beach ball.Again it seems fine when on the same computer.

Many thanks


M.

I thought there was something different too.

The renaming on the mixer strips won't happen until you "reset out map". thats for sure. I also get some strange things with certain letters like"f". It s like it's trying to do something in VE.

hope it helps,

M

Hi All,

New problem has arisen.

I updated the latest update for VE Pro.

I have a Mac Pro 8 core (new) slave
and a Mac book pro as master, connected directly with a Gigabit cable, no internet or hubs.

Because the update allows more than 8 Ve pro instances, I redid my orchestral template to include all my libraries. I have 16 instances of 32 bit and 5 instances of 64bit.

When the template has finished loading, logic , on my master, freezes when I connect.However, If I open my logic on the slave ( which I never normally use) everything connects very well and quickly.
if I load less instances and connect from the master it works ok too , but once I hit 14 or so instances it freezes.

Any ideas?

I would like to use everything on one computer, but need the extra power for the DAW and FX.

Many Thanks,

M.

HI Paul,

Thank you for the quick response. Good news! I re downloaded the fanfare instrument and all is well. It really was a nasty sound , and couldn't believe it was right. There must have been a problem with my download, so I emptied the cache, etc and it works very well now.
Thanks,

Martyn.

I just downloaded the fanfare trumpet for some pieces that I needed the brighter trumpet sound. the legato is great, but the Sustain (no vib) is unuseable as there is a strange buzzing tone between E above middle C and the E an octave above. Is this because of the fewer layers , or is there something wrong with the download. Just wndered if any one else had the same issue. I would glady buy the full version as a download if it was available.

Thanks,

M.

It worked thank you so much. I've been at this for days, reloading installing you name it.

Just so you know I had everything in place that you mentioned, it was the manual IP address that did it.

Again Thank You , Thank You!!!!

Martyn.

Anyone/ :)

HI ,

I know nothing about network settings.
I'm wondering if this is to do with the problem?
I'm not using internet on the slave, have no airport at all installed and only use the macbook pro airport to down load updates and write emails on help sites:):)

My net work setting are

"MASTER"

IP 169.254.96.80
SUB 255.255.0.0

CONNECTED has a self assigned ip address and will not be able to connect to the internet

"SLAVE"

IP 169.254.237.61
SUB 255.255.0.0

CONNECTED has a self assigned ip address and will not be able to connect to the internet


M.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply.

I read the page, and everything works as it says there. The server page does turn up when I initiate a plug in , and it connects to my slaves. Am I missing something with the restart? I start the 2 server(64 and 32 ) on my slave and they are blank because I haven't started my sequencer. I start up the sequencer and they are still blank as I havent initiated anything yet. I load the project and only the template loads and there is the server window on my master . I then press connect and it connects and my instrument loads.
Have I missed something?

Many Thanks

Martyn.

I'm not a Nuendo guy, but I had the same problem with the stand alone. I opened it directly in applications and it seemed to open ok. I also dragged my library into the manager. Seems to work, but haven't tried the dock since so don't know whether it is any better
