Do we still need to disable ASIO Guard for VSL Plugins?

I thought that was addressed a while ago...

:D

I second this confirmation 

But now I kinda miss the little 'feature' 

Thanks guys

I can report I am having this exact same issue

Note: This is also happening on the New Spring Creators Update Windows 10 (1803)

Also still have slow visibility on available connections to servers when instantiating a plug-in

macOS 10.12.6

Mac Pro 2012 12-Core

Thanks

Christopher

Ahh ok, Thanks for confirming it is happening on other builds of Windows also

I am back on 15864 for now, but have to be on a higher version for my High Sierra testing I am currently doing in perparation for moving to 10.13 on my Master System

Thanks,

Christopher

I wonder if is has somethig to do wtih a certain Windows 10 update?

Since my machine is running the absolute latest version of Windows 10 with Creators Updates and all

Just some thoughts

Christopher

Yes thanks

This worked for me

Has presented another occassional issue though, but that is for another time :)

Hi Paul in reference to what you quoted:

"The strangest part of all this is that when I setup a new instance with the same patch and instrument, plus I tried with a Piano patch from Goliath (which was fine)"

I had meant that I made a new template and added an instance to find the problem was gone, with a fresh setup. However now I have rebuilt my Strings Instance with Violins, VIolins II, Violas, Cellos and Basses in, I find the issue back.

I am not sure how it could be PLAY since I have had no issues until this week.

I updated PLAY to v6.0.2 about a month ago and it was working fine

Short of formatting both my systems, I have no idea what the solution could be

Hope someone can shed light on this

Thanks

Hi Guys,

Slave system:

I have VE Pro version 6.0.1.16778

WIndows 10 Pro x64 (1709 Update)

East West Composer Cloud Plus

Issue happens when trying to play my 1st Violins Sus KS patch from Hollywood Strings Diamond

Master system:

Mac Pro 2012 12-Core

Logic Pro X 10.4.1

The strangest part of all this is that when I setup a new instance with the same patch and instrument, plus I tried with a Piano patch from Goliath (which was fine)

This is only happening on ALL my existing Server Templates (which I have spent months configuring)

As you can ALSO see, The CPU usage is huge and I am not even playing back. This is only wtih the Plugin from Logic being conected to the Slave VE Pro Server 9running over a wired LAN conection using a static address direct to Mac Pro)

Please advise

Slow to show conections in Plugin Window

I have downloaded the latest version of VE PRO 6.0.16778 and noticed this same issue with the slow connection for showing instances on network locations is once again back and even worse in fact :/

I was going to start a new thread, but since this is a related incident I wanted to make it clear it is something still ongoing:

Specs Mac Pro 12-Core 2012

macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Logic Pro 10.3.3 and Ableton Live 9.7.5

Vienna Ensemble Pro 6.0.16778

Any update on your findings?

Your network settings are also crucial (static IPs, switch, router...)

Would you please please *with sugar on top* provide such information? 

Thanks!!

Paul

HAHA

You are a joker man  

I am sending this over now 

I attached the videos here as I tried to send them via email (even though they were below the quota) but I still got an postmaster report telling me the email failed to send

So they are below...

So you would like a report from myself about this?

Hi guys,

I have been running some tests and noticed that in Logic Pro X 10.3.2 and Ableton Live 9.7.5 this is an issue.

Version 6.0.16178 has no issues regarding this.

Systems running macOS 10.12.6

I thought it was a networking issue, but noticed that previous revisions did not suffer from this

I can supply logs if you would like

Regards

Christopher

I can report I am also having this issue and have in the past also

It is not happening on my other templates, only the one I use most often, so I think it is corrupted somehow

I can certainly confirm this is true. I have all of EastWest Composer Cloud Plus (Mostly the Hollywood Orchestra) loaded into my 11 tab (instance template on my PC slave. I have it set up so that a speciified CC will disable my tracks using an iPad App. This means I can load the entire server template disabed and then simply switch on instruments as I want to. In Logic Pro X, if I tap my assigned disable button on a track folder, it will disable all the instances of PLAY that I have in that tab also, or I can do it per-track for each instrument.

I do the same on my Kontakt Server Template on my Mac Pro. This has saved me huge resources and large amounts of RAM on both machines. Something that is certianly worth learning and mastering :)

I have been tinkering with VE PRO for about 3 years now and I have no regrets of my purchase. It is incredibly versatile and a welcome addition to any composers/sound designers/writers arsenal :)

I work in IT as well, so the system really is something that fascinates me.

I would like to know if it worth spending time on triying to make this thing work..

I have Logic and vep6 last version and sierra on both macs with ethernet connection

(I had no response on previous post and cant beleive no one uses it ! as it is the only way to have more than 16 channel per instance, isnt it ?)

System: Logic Pro X 10.3, 2012 Mac Pro 12-Core, 64GB of RAM macOS Sierra 10.12.3

VE PRO v6.0.1.5567

I am actually testing it out now.

I was using the single port option as I no longer need to use the multiport (thanks to skiswitcher2/ARTzID) which allows me to have plenty of patches all on one track instead of being spanned out.

Google skiswitcher2 and you can check it out.

But also I have noticed that for some reason VE PRO 6 does not seem to like more instances over less...unless

Paul or any of the VSL team can confirm otherwise...

So I am again trying out multiports. I have had success so far though to answer your question.

You can message me with any help you would like in regards to it, as I will continue testing this 

Regards

My machine is

Mac Pro 2012 12-Core

64GB of RAM and it is on macOS 10.12.3

I am running Logic Pro X 10.3 and VE Pro 6.0.15567.

Vienna Ensemble Pro has crashed at least 6 times today. And it causes Logic Pro X to hang as well.

Saving in VEP is unusually slow also.

Hi Paul,

I am not sure this is where to post this, but I have noticed an issue with Pro Tools 12.6.1 since the latest plugin update 6.0.15567. The plugin will now load into PT no issues and scans successfully, however I cannot play notes that do not dropout or pop and stutter.

I tried it with the VE PRO Server (64bit) on my Windows machine (i7 4770K, 32GB, Windows 10 Pro) and my masOS machine (Mac Pro 5,1 12-Core, 64GB, macOS Sierra 10.12.1), but with the same results.

In order to ensure it was not the macOS application or windows I have kept the latest version of the installed files and simply moved the AAX plugin to (unused). I then used Pacisfist to extract version 6.0.15500 of the AXX plugin from the pakage installer and placed it in the plugins folder. 

On launching Pro Tools 12.6.1 once more, letting the plugins scan and reconnecting the older plugin to the latest Server Application versions I can confrm that there are no issues with audio playback.

I can send you the report from my logs and sample the process as well.

Hope this helps.

Regards

I came across your post here and noticed you put about there being a 19th September build?

But I have checked soundsonline (as I have for the last 2 months hoping they would bring out an update )

Sadly, it seems that slow update cycles is the new EW.

Though I noticed the latest is 13th of September fc25368, and nothing newer.

Could you let me know whether you meant 13th or not?

Thanks

Meant to reply to a quote, could you please delete :)

Thanks

Unfortunately I can´t give you an ETA at this point, as our priority is still on ironing out some bugs.

Thanks for your patience!

Best,

This is really great to hear :) Look forward to this.

Glad you guys are focused on the bug fixing though as well :)

Best, Marnix

Could you please explain more about this PLAY VST issue. Because I am also on PLAY 5, however I was getting VEP 6 (latest update) crash on me yesterday every 2-3 minutes of setting up and I was not using any instances of PLAY, only instruments in Kontakt 5.6 Mac. So could it be that the plugin is loaded into the VEP database and that is affecting it also. Perhaps moving the PLAY VST out of its folder and trying might help.

Further on this I have noticed that when I updated to the latest revision of VEP it was loading and unloading my templates slower than the previous release (version before 6.0.15318).

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Unfortunately I am not having the same level of success as you Asher. I have two templates: On the 32GB i7 PC I have my HWO loaded into VEP 6 and on the Mac Pro Dual 6-Core 64GB I have Percussion (Some Kontakt 5.6), EW Pianos, EW Symphonic Choirs Platinum and Synths (Absynth5, DIVA, Waves Element, OMni2, Zebra+HZ etc). But I as soon as I change tracks on my 88 track Logic Pro 10.2.4 template to play another part or record, my VEP 6 will crash (15264). There are no crashes on the PC, also with PLAY 5 loaded in.
