Hi Macker- I didn't quite understand what you have said, I haven't yet used MIR - but wow you have got that sounding good!  Thanks for posting.  

Hi Minardi,

You did a really good job on this!  And it is interesting to hear how long it took you.  You have inspired me!  

Hello All,

This post is moved from another thread. 

I am in early conversation with Paul about this, but it is now the weekend and I imagine I will not be hearing back from him until Monday.  If anyone has any thoughts I would so appreciate it!  I have a 2010 Mac Pro, 12 core, Mohave 10.14.6, 4TB SSD with 1.5TB free for the libraries, 128 GB RAM, works very well.  Cubase 11.  I am a periodic user and not computer savvy like most of you here.  Chrome open, otherwise little else, great internet connection, sleep turned off.  

My current Cubase project utilizing VEP & my Synchron libraries was behaving well.  I didn't yet have solo strings in Synchron, so decided to convert to iLok to get them.  I had repeated freezes during the conversion process - five of them.  All but the last then required a hard restart.  Finally got my 33 libraries & software installed and things looked good in VA.  Then I opened VEP.  Opened my current Cubase project (in which I have been using Synchron and VEP), and it immediately crashed both, and does it repeatedly.  I can (at least to begin with) open a new Cubase project and it won't crash.  This previous project was working fine until the conversion.  Two of my Synchron Libraries are missing from the Synchron Player, though in VA it shows them as installed.  Not sure about the Synchron-ized Libraries.  Nothing is listed in the uninstalled location.  I do not see VEP Server in Installed or Uninstalled or All.  All libraries placed on that same SSD location.  VA shows all as installed.  I also noticed that after the crashes, I now have a few 1" long straight lines in series on my main monitor as it starts up, which then disappear.  I got these messages at some point, can't remember exactly when:  

• “Synchron Brass B09 Stereo SPv2 source files missing”.  Clicked the x to stop.
• Failed validation: (AU) VSL VSL Powerpan
• 1 plug-in failed validation and has been disabled.  Disabled plug-ins can be rescanned in Preferences."

Can't imagine what could have gone wrong, I thought I followed the directions properly.  Anyone have a suggestion?  Of course I will wait until Monday to hear from Paul, but I am tempted to throw it all away and do a fresh install of everything - but am afraid of harming the computer with more hard shut downs.  Oh one more thing - I see that VEP, VEP AU3 sow that they were modified yesterday, but VEP Server date is1/30/23.  Licenses seem to all be active. 

In the Mac Crash Report I see, though I don't know what it means:

Termination Reason:    DYLD, [0x4] Symbol missing - Dyld Error Message: - -Symbol not found: _aligned_alloc - Referenced from: /Applications/Vienna Ensemble Pro/Vienna Ensemble Pro Server.app/Contents/MacOS/Vienna Ensemble Pro -  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dyl

If anyone can help I would so appreciate it!  

thanks for reading through all this,

David

Hello All,

(I moved this post to the VEP thread)

I am in early conversation with Paul about this, but it is now Friday evening and I imagine I will not be hearing back from him until Monday.  If anyone has any thoughts I would so appreciate it!  I have a 2010 Mac Pro, 12 core, Mohave 10.14.6, 4TB SSD with 1.5TB free for the libraries, 128 GB RAM, works very well.  Cubase 11.  I am a periodic user and not computer savvy like most of you here.  Chrome open, otherwise little else, great internet connection, sleep turned off.

I see that: Minimum required system version: Mac OS X 10.13 - but I have 10.14.6.  

If anyone has the remedy I would so appreciate it!

Hi Paul, thanks so much for asking.  I never saw your reply.  Somehow it got resolved.

best wishes,

David 

Hi Martin, thank you very much for replying!  I am sorry I never saw it until today.  I need to get the hang of the Forum.  The problem was resolved, somehow, and works now - I forget how it was resolved.   

Again thanks!  

Hello Everyone,

I am new to forums, and may not be doing this right.  Please instruct me if I am posting this wrong.  

I am using Vienna Imperial in Cubase.  I was using it successfully in two files for a few weeks, created in Cubase 10.  Now it suddenly is giving the notice that it has disappeared, and in both files.  It is not there as a choice when I create  a new track.  I opened Cubase's Plug-In Manager, and see that it is blacklisted.  A few other VSL Plug-Ins are also blacklisted, they are listed as VST 2, 64 bit.  There is a notice that says that VST 2 plugins are no longer supported. 

I know Cubase 10 does not support VST 2, but I believe there is a workaround way to do it.  I cannot figure out how to post a question for a new thread in the Steniberg forums. 

 Is Vienna Imperial VST 2?  Why does it nonetheless say it is 64 bit?  And why did it work fine for several weeks, and then stop?  

I shopuld say that I am barely able to use my VSL products, but I have managed to get things going - a little.  I also have VE, and a Mac. (I created the files in Cubase 10, for reasons I don't understand, when I open files again, they often open in Cubase 9, or 9.5.)  

I would appreciate any help! 

Thank you, Splendiforous
