1.Vienna Instruments Pro 2 will not appear in Cubase 11 5/6/2022 5:46:29 PM

Hi! Very ridiculous issue - can´t see Vienna Instruments Pro 2 among other instruments in Cubase 11 and 10.5 in MacBook Air M1 and in MacBook Pro 2015. In Logic X it appears and works normally, in VEPro 7 it appears and works. On Windows 10 system it works properly. Where I have to move plugin of Vienna Instruments Pro 2 (probably any special folder which can read Cubase) to be able to use it? 

Thanks 

2.7 TUTORIALS: Synchron Prime Edition 5/5/2022 5:22:00 PM

Hi! I have some Synchron libraries and VI libraries that I want to use with eLicenser now (for not to pass through downloading process now, think that I'd better buy the Vienna HD for this purpose) 

Now I bought Synchron Prime Edition that want to use on the same PC with iLok hardware. Will it be conflicting with eLicenser libraries? I mean Synchron player - is it the same player for iLok and eLicenser? MIR pro, Vienna suite etc - will they all be working at the same time on the same PC? Or it will be convenient to download and install Prime Edition libraries on the other PC or Mac?

Maybe this question was discussed but I didn't find it, could you direct me to that tread please?

Thanks! 

3.!! SYNCHRON BRASS !! 8/17/2021 2:36:34 AM

Thank you for replying, just bought this library and really can say that the sound is amazing!

4.Symphonic Cub Full version 7/26/2021 3:53:24 PM

Thank you! Downloading Full libraries now.

5.Symphonic Cub Full version 7/23/2021 5:16:38 PM

Hi! I think that this question is already discussed some time ago but didn´t find the answer. This month I upgraded Symphonic Cube to Full version. Now when I have Symphonic Cube Full is it necessary to download Standard and Full libraries? In MyDowloads I have options to download one or the other. Historically I was buying something as Individual instruments and then bought upgrade to Symphonic Cube Std and now Full version. Some instruments were downloaded quite a few years ago. When I open VI presets for extended libraries I have patches in red. How can I check it? Or download everything again?

Thank you!

6.!! SYNCHRON BRASS !! 7/23/2021 3:11:49 PM

Thank you for replying, I have some VI libraries, this month completed Symphonic Cube and really go for the VSL sound, I liked the sound of Synchron libraries too (have Elite Strings and Synchron Strings Pro), some Synchronized libraries as well, but finished using VI libraries with MIRx as they integrate flawlessly almost with any other sound or library. I´m yet thinking on buying Synchron Brass (as I was impressed by its sound). Thanks! 

7.!! SYNCHRON BRASS !! 7/23/2021 12:36:31 AM

Comparing to VI Brass1 and Brass2 will Synchron Brass be really important upgade? If anyone of VSL users made this comparison? I´d like to hear what changes (improvements) in sound and articulations this upgrade will mean. Thank you

8.Change library location Synchron Player 8/12/2020 1:50:30 AM

Thanks for reply!

I don´t think to use that external drive for Windows, on that laptop I just installed different libraries on the second internal drive with NTFS file system.

So the external drive will be used by MacBook Pro, with the old one firstly (2015) and then with the new one (I hope in 2-3 months) - installing software and just having all libraries installed on the drive. I don´t know if the APFS will be well written and well read by the old MacBook Pro or I´d better use Mac  OS Extended (Journaled), or is it the same in modern times?

If I use NTFS - I understand that it´ll be necessary to install everything from Windows, but for using with MacBook Pro - will it be necessary to use Paragon or some other app to manage this external disc? Or Paragon will drop the velocity of the drive? SSD is WD 4TB and I´ll use it with Thunderbolt 2 adapter for better performance (it´s working really fast), want to fill it with different libraries I have (2 or 3 TB, among them VSL, EWQL, BBCSO, Cinesamples, NI etc) - very laborious task - so don´t want to make a mistake on file system and then repeat installing everything.

So need your advice for my particular case - you know everything in this camp!

Thanks! 

9.Change library location Synchron Player 8/11/2020 4:05:06 PM

Thank you for this information. I´ll try to move it to external SSD now. The other question - if I´m in MacBook Pro - will it be Mac Journaled format or APFS? I have a 2015 MacBook Pro but think to upgrade it to a 2019 or 2020 one. Thanks!

10.Change library location Synchron Player 8/11/2020 1:21:32 AM

Hola!

Need some technical advise. Recently purchased VSL Synchronized SE crossgrade and installed it on the C drive. How can I change library location to the external SSD now when I deleted all the installation files? I'll have to download them all? Or there is some trick to move them? On the VI version that was very easy with Director Manager.

Thanks!

11.asus rog 750 jz for VSL and Pro Tools 12/22/2014 3:46:57 PM

I´ve already installed on that laptop: Pro Tools 10.3.7 (found some reports of stable work on Win 8.1), Cubase 6.5.5, Kontakt Ultimate, VSL Ensemble Pro, VIpro - everything working. My libraries are on Mac formatted SSD´s, so had to install Mac Drive demo but then found Paragon free version for NFS+ that works well. Didn´t have opportunity to insert any special project, only enjoying the sounds, software is working, playing samples, so far so good - in spite of no support for Windows 8.1.

12.asus rog 750 jz for VSL and Pro Tools 12/19/2014 8:31:42 PM

Merry Christmas to VSL team and all users!

I´ve just bought a laptop Asus ROG 750 JZ i7 (2.4) 4700, Nvidia 880m 4G with 32 G of RAM and 1T SSD (Windows 8.1 single language) for 4K editing - which is working fine with all video (much better than MBP retina 2013) and think that it can work fine with Pro Tools 10 (or Cubase 6.5) and VSL (I am interested most of all in Dimension Strings - that particular library had some issues of clicks and pops and unstability with VEPro and MIRx on my MBP retina - and use of Mbox was worsening its work). Sometimes I use EWQL libraries that also don´t help to lighten the work. This laptop is not in the list of recommended PC´s by Avid.

If anybody had opportunity to work with this laptop? It is made for gamers so is very fast for video, but what about audio? Some known issues with Pro Tools or VSL software? Or it will be better to install Windows 7?

Thanks in advance!

13.Thoughts on Dimensions Strings 9/18/2014 10:40:15 PM

Thanks for reply Vizmusic. I´ll try again DS with MIRx, I like it for its sound - solo DS is great, the problem is when I have other instruments - brass, woodwinds, piano, harp, dthe sound changes and the orchestra is not integrate, maybe because I don´t have dimension brass or others full libraries (I have SE), but with Orchestral strings (SE) it sounds better. But I can tell you that Appassionata strings (SE) don´t sound great for me too in the mix! Maybe those are my ears that don´t accept! I´ll try again other templates, maybe the one of garylionelli or Saxer´s once again. Why not? Thanks again!

14.Thoughts on Dimensions Strings 9/17/2014 3:10:18 PM

I think that the question is not in forcing anyone to use DS, I can't reach the "sound of my dream" with this library in the mix too ("solo" it sounds good - with MIRx - but something happens in the mix with the other instruments, that the sound converts in something "artificial", not so natural). I was sure that that issue was caused by my amateur knowledge, but now can see that I'm not the only one. So I tried the template of one of the users (Saxer- thank you!) - that unfortunately didn't work for me. So had to use Orchestral strings (and Chamber strings) with Solo strings (I have SE complete) - that sound was more "vivid". So what can I do to integrate DS? I like its sound which magically disappears when I'm making the mix. What tutorial can you recommend? Thank you! 

15.Polyphonic legato in DS with VI Pro, MIRx for double basses 3/4/2014 9:15:01 PM

Viktor:  I think you are referring to the same thing I ran into yesterday - you turn on MIRx for the new dimension basses - and NO spatialization.  See if this gets it working:  go to the REVERB tab in ViPro --> click on the 'gear' to the bottom left of the Dry/Wet slider --> change the Latency setting to something (1024).  Now MIRx should work.  It did for me.  HTH


Paul, any ETA on dimension Basses MIRx settings?  At the moment we just have some generic spots.


Best,


Greg

Thanks Greg! I´ll try it today

Viktor

16.Polyphonic legato in DS with VI Pro, MIRx for double basses 3/4/2014 3:51:33 PM

Hi Paul! Thanks for fast reply!

17.Polyphonic legato in DS with VI Pro, MIRx for double basses 3/3/2014 8:26:18 PM

This weekend I was exploring the new DS library, the sound is very realistic and rich with abundant articulations, congratulations to VSL for the other outstanding product! My question is - why I don´t have polyphonic legato with these patches? And I don´t have polyphonic legato as well with other patches (Apassionata, Orchestral strings SE and various single instruments), so very few libraries now have this feature. I installed the latest version of VI Pro (maybe this version doesn´t support polyphonic legato?). The other question - what about the MIRx for contrabass?, I tried to change position of double basses but it didn´t happen, it´s position is central (for VI, VA, VC it works well). Sure, I can change it the other way but maybe I have some OS bugs? My configuration is Mac Book Pro retina 2.7 RAM 16, OS - ML 10.8.4, SSD 500 G for system and SSD 960 G with Thunderbolt for libraries, Cubase 6.5.5. I made my template with 3 instances of VE Pro (strings, woodwinds, brass - aprox 30 intruments) and VI Pro, it opens fast (very fast comparing with other libraries!) so think this is not the hardware problem. The other feature of VI Pro that I´d like to have is the All Strings matrix for DS - with VI, VA, VC, CB in one keyboard (this one I think can be useful for trying chords and arpegios and playing the tutti sound immediately), or could you suggest any tutorial - how can I make it myself with every detail if it is possible. Sure it is not so hard (VSL soft is basically very logic and usually friendly), but for me as an amateur every change is always very time consumming - every step that I make is always with manual in my hands reading explications to make everything correctly... Some times all day long because of errors or some important details... Thank you!  

18.Buying advice 2/26/2014 5:48:00 PM
DAW - Digital Audio Workstation (Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, Sonar etc), VI Pro 2 - Vienna Instruments Pro 2.0 (como Play in EWQL)
19.Buying advice 2/25/2014 8:54:08 PM

I think that my subtle experiences with VSL can be useful to you – maybe.

I´m not professional composer or musician. During the last year I was using EWQLSO (Platinum) with somehow contradictive results (because of my poor knowledge – now I understand it!), I liked this library in general and sometimes continue using it - with more pleasure now because understand it better.

I bought VSL SE Complete Bundle. This is a huge and really good sounding library. I didn´t like it first - for very dry sound, VI has its own reverb but if you add MIRx with VI Pro (or MIR pro - I don´t have it) the sound is more correct (realistic) – so adding those finally I obtained the sound I needed.

I don´t know why, but it works better with VE Pro 5 than directly in DAW, as well as Kontakt libraries (Ultimate 8) and Play 3 work better with it (I use mainly Pro Tools 10 on Mac Book Pro retina 2.7, RAM 16 G –probably because of 32-bit architecture of this DAW and VE Pro offers access to 64-bit and all of the RAM)

After buying and downloading VSL Dimension Strings - 2 days ago - and playing with it I can say that its sounds are yet more pleasant and realistic, but it requires more and more learning of possibilities of these libraries (that are endless, I think). So really wonderful sound! Now I can´t sleep at all - because of trying these sounds that are endless.

By the other hand VSL SE templates in VI Pro (all strings and others) are really extraordinary well made (I miss these templates for DS and hope that very soon we´ll have them for all DS – the work for very high estimated maestro Dietz and his team). And you can do everything with these templates and somehow modify them at your manner - and really don´t need other libraries - for weeks, months (or years).

So learning the software, making your own orchestra templates and listening to every sound of orchestra is the way to go – initially too slow (comparing to the other orchestra libraries) - but finally the sound is much better.

Because of having some experience with other libraries and VSL tutorials, using of VSL SE was relatively easy, but Great Tutorials (!) of Beat Kaufmann helped me to use better VSL SE, VI and VI Pro (first steps obviously – I´m a beginner yet), locate correctly the instruments and apply reverb - and learn the “constructive” listening to all the details of each sound and finally the music piece. The ancienty of achieving the good sound now is changed to constructive approach – what steps I must do to have that particular sound. And to use Cubase that I didn´t like at first but now use it more and more. (Changing the DAW helps to understand better the main principles of overall making digital sound I think).

But the way is really slow (for me) - mainly because of untrained ears (I´m a amateur so can´t dedicate too much time to music), so you have to be more patient to achieve the best results - and listen, listen, listen (“constructively” - what I´d do with this sound, what articulation should be better for that one etc)...

And buying the other new library or software after studying well that you just possess - because the possibilities of these packages are great.

So my experience is this:

VSL SE is great (complete bundle is very recommended), VSL VE Pro 5 is very useful, VSL VI Pro 2 (and MIRx) is highly recommended, VSL DS is wonderful.

I hope that was helpful.

23.Vienna suite presets folder on OSX 10.8.4 11/28/2013 9:30:52 PM
I´m trying demo of Vienna Suite. Very basic question - can´t find the folder with VIenna Suite presets on my Mac Book Pro 10.8.4,
the path which is mentioned in the manual is: "OS X: [Macintosh HD]/Shared Items/Vienna Suite Presets/[PluginName]
[Macintosh HD] is the name of the harddisk the operating system is installed on" - The folder /Shared Items/ doesn´t exist. I made visible the hidden folders - without result.
Wanted to use presets of Beat Kauffmann, he recommended to make new preset with special memorable number and then make a search - but it didn´t help. I was searching now in the forum but didn´t find the answer. I think that it is very simple but I need your help to move finally and try what I want.
Maybe demo has restrictions?
Thank you,
V. Kibanov

Hello!
I´ve bought Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition Complete Bundle - 6 volumes in november 2013. Very impressive collection of sounds.
How can I get my 6 Single Instruments for free? What is the mechanism? I have to send mail? Sorry if I missed something in the buying process, I was very busy studying, applying and enjoying the software!
Thank you for the quality of product, fast licensing, excellent service (I made payments in Sweetwater.com) and velocity of download
