That's unfortunate, sorry to hear about that. 

Please create a process dump when VE Pro and Cubase hangs (both processes please). 

See this image on how to create a minidump with Process Explorer. Send the reports to , we will take a look!

Best, 
Paul

Cheers,

 

will get on this ASAP

2.VEP template wont load after Windows 10 update 8/9/2019 2:41:38 AM

I am having huge issues with VEP since the latest Windows 10 update. 

My template simply hangs when loading now. Even when loading up my disabled template, there's huge hangs/load times/freezes etc. 

everything was functioning fine until the update. What's going on?

3.lost eLicenser USB key = big problem!!!!!! Read before buying 11/30/2016 1:55:39 PM
I was told by VSL to get insurance. I tried and no company would insure a USB or licences.

So yeah.. crap situation

I would like the hostile, adversarial posters of this, and many other similar threads, to do one thing - tell how they would deal with stolen/lost licenses. In detail. To rule out theft on a regular basis. The fact is, there is no way to distinguish between someone who has lost - or had stolen - a dongle, and someone who just wants another license for free. If your dongle is stolen - you are screwed. It is the same thing as if you bought some stuff at a store, and somebody stole it - would you then go to the store and demand your money back? Then be outraged when you didn't get 100% back? They would laugh you out of the store. But that is EXACTLY what you are doing right here.
The people who write these threads need to come to a basic realization: many people are thieves, and they cause the problems. Not the people who have goods that are stolen - which these postersare blaming.


Your post is ridiculous. FIrstly we are talking about software and licences not something physical.

Secondly we dont need to explain how to recover a licence because literally every other sample company has a system of recovery without charging customers again.


VSL continually claim they are a small company and piracy would ruin them yet 8dio, orchestral tools, spectrasonic audiobro etc all require no dongle and are i would imagine, are comparitively "small".

How many of VSL's customer base are really that shady? I doubt most serious composers would want some random (or friend) to have access to their user area (passwords etc) and use their licences so that seems utterly ridiculous.

The worst part is, the more products you buy from VSL; the more loyal a customer you are, the more you have to lose if something goes wrong. How sad is that?

6.lost elicenser key and VSL will not respond to my emails 10/28/2016 4:50:03 AM
To make matters worse, from what I can tell the 50% is purely arbitrary and seems like VSL aiming to profit off their existing customer's misfortune.

I can understand if there is a fee for transferring the licence but 50%? Nope.
7.lost elicenser key and VSL will not respond to my emails 10/26/2016 12:45:30 AM

So I went shopping around for insurance options for my eLicencer and VSL software. So far I have been turned away from 2 insurance companies.

Seriously.

All the veteran forumites know that this is a real sore subject around here (search the forum for more details).  So the best way to keep yourself covered is to buy a new dongle every two years and transfer the licenses then think about getting some insurance (again, search the forum for more details) depending on how much you have invested in this.  Nuff said!

Hi,

 do not know, where you live, but in Europe here (Germany, Switzerland) such insurances do not exist. Not for software licenses. But I would not do that, in any case. 

 Of course I have always several spare e-licensers :-) I am a bit on the careful side, even I never had any problems until now -knock-knock-knock-,

Independent from that, Steinberg in Europe replaces licenses on broken, stolen or lost e-licencers.

Have a look here if you do not believe.:

http://www.steinberg.net/de/support/steinbergzerodowntime.html

Requirement is only that you have to register your elicensere there. And of course, this should not happen too frequently. But it is simple.  First you get temporary licenses, then they blacklist the broken/stolen/lost elicenser, finally you get new activation keys for your licenses and voila.

Have a nice day.

 

I have read through and it looks like Steinberg will only replace their own licences, not other companies'.

"Replacements for licenses from other companies that were also stored on the defective/lost/stolen USB-eLicenser are provided directly from the corresponding manufacturer."

Which I interpret as meaning you would still have to pay 50% of all the licences you owned already.

The whole thing stinks to be honest and if this happened/happens to me, I will leave VSL behind and opt for EW composer cloud, Orchestral Tools or Spitfire.

That is coming from someone who owns about 90% of VSL's products.

Most of the other prominent sample devs don't hinge composers' livelyhoods on a tiny piece of plastic. Maybe VSL should wake up to 2016.

9.Any plans for world instruments in the near future? 9/6/2016 1:11:19 AM

I have been shopping around and TBH I would love to keep it all in the VSL family.

Any plans or hints at something in the future? If no does anyone have any recommendations ?

10.Vienna Choir Sustains Sound Filtered - any thoughts 8/31/2016 3:10:51 PM

I have noticed the exact same thing. The dynamic patches are so lush and then - as you say - the legato and sustains sound like they are filtered. I have used the exciter and eq in the past with some decent results. I am interested to see what VSL have to say about it.

11.New Piece Using Chamber Strings! Feedback welcome. 8/28/2016 2:10:56 PM

Hey All.

Would love feedback on this, especially in regards to how I have used the chamber strings.

 

Enjoy!

12.Will VSL's old instruments soon be obsolete? 7/14/2016 10:25:01 AM

Just wondering if VSL's about to usher in a new wave of room based samples that will make their silent stage room products obsolete?

Any news on this?

13.Chamber Strings 2, App. 2 or Dim 2? 6/5/2016 11:22:56 AM

I did put the solo's on top of the orch and it does sound better but still not ideal.

I use Mir Pro. I dont want to have to drown my instruments to get a decent sound. I could use Forti/Serti but still not ideal.

unfortunately I cant demo the products.

Not very happy. It seems like they tailored the Sordino to slow playing only.

14.Chamber Strings 2, App. 2 or Dim 2? 6/2/2016 1:18:29 PM

Hello,

       I currently own Solo Strings 2 & Orch strings (focusing on sordinos) and I am finding the sordino legato in the orch package very synthetic sounding (at moderate speeds +). I've tried stretching samples as suggested with no luck as I cannot achieve a pleasant enough sound. They just slide everywhere. I am quite surprised tbh.

My question is: I need an ensemble size sordino - which would you choose out of Chamber Strings 2, App. 2 or Dim 2?

15.VSL Orch. Strings Mutes Legato Question. 4/22/2016 1:43:06 AM

Hello all.

          I have been using the mutes available in this library and have been unpleasantly surprised with the "sliding" legato that the Vlns. Vlas & Cellos seem to have. There are two patches available : the Legato and Slur Legato and I honestly cannot tell the difference as both seem to have a very pronounced "slur" that makes them near unplayable in certain contexts. 

Is this normal or is there a bug in my instrument? It's not like VSL at all.

Any help is appreciated.

Any comments & feedback are more than welcome :)

 

Love to hear from fellow VSL enthusiasts :)

17.Question about legato transitions 4/15/2015 12:18:17 PM

Amazing. Thank you so much! So powerful. 

18.Question about legato transitions 4/15/2015 12:05:05 PM

I am running into an issue that I am hoping people here will be able to help me with.

I enjoy the ability to have a legato transition from any artic to a legato artic. however I would love to be able to do the opposite as well: Having a legato transition from a legato artic to say trills or a dynamic artic. 

What is the best way to approach this?

19.No Clarinet 2 discount for Cube owners? 4/2/2015 3:39:34 PM

Nevermind the fact that I have:
VSL Cube Complete
Voices Complete
Dim Strings/Brass Complete
Mir Pro
etc.
I am not eligible for the clarinet discount. Where as there will be customers out there who have perhaps only winds complete who are eligible. 

I guess I am a bit peeved.

Could you let me know how you go??

21.Getting max voices (clicks pops and dropouts) in VIP2 because of Dimension Strings - What is th... 1/24/2014 12:59:43 PM

Hey so Dmstrings is maxing out voices on my slave system (VEP) and I am getting clicks pops and drop outs. I've played with latency settings in my daw and nothing changed. I also monitored the Network and there's no bottleneck there. 

They are stored on a black caviar HDD. If I store them on a SSD will this allieviate the issue at all?

I have the Vframes set up as Violins, Violas etc. I tried splitting it up ie. Violins 1, Violins 2, Violas 1, Violas 2 but it still didn't appear to make a difference. 

Simon

22.Updated Front Page - "Violas Coming Soon" 1/17/2014 12:10:03 PM

Dimension Woodwinds? :O :O

23.Updated Front Page - "Violas Coming Soon" 1/16/2014 3:25:19 PM

Ughh. Seriously I'd prefer nothing rather then that tease.

Any kind of estimated guess when we can expect them? I only ask because I have fallen in love with this library.

24.Help! Setting up VEP on slave systems with templates! 1/18/2012 4:05:38 PM
That would be absolutely fantastic - It will give me the best chance to study how to optimise VEP and answer a lot of questions!

can you simply email it too me? (unsure of file size)

if so my email is atlaslastdance[at]gmail.com


Does your template make use of all articulations available in the products or is it not feasible to work that way?

thank you kindly
Simon
25.Help! Setting up VEP on slave systems with templates! 1/18/2012 2:39:39 PM
Hello!
I am having a real difficult time figuring out how VEP works in relation to templates.

Basically I have 2 monster pc slaves; one holds all my East West stuff and another my omnisphere, trillian, Cube etc software.

So here's what I want: I want to be able to wake up in the morning, turn on my slaves and have them load up ALL instruments (all articulations) as if I were accessing them on my master system!!! I want to be able to sift through and have everything loaded.

how do I achieve this? How do I set up a user-friendly template for this operation?

I am currently reading through the manual but it seems to glaze over the specifics of what im looking for (unless I missed it).

Thank you kindly in advance,
Simon
