Thanks Andreas,

Good advice. That's how I ended up in OSX after years of Bootcamp Windows.  A windows "update" sent my Saffire into snap crackle pop land. Had to leave Samplitude behind. I just sprung for the Quantum 2626. We'll see

I'm moving from a 2012 Mac Mini to either a new Mini or maybe a Studio but my trusty old Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 will have to go.

Haven't got the funds for a Clarett 8 so looking at Scarlett 18i20 3rd gen also considering Audient Evo 16 maybe Presonus Quantum 2626. 

The hardware side is all fine but the drivers are the big concern. I don't need hundreds of tracks but want to be able to do moderate orchestration without nightmares.

I'd appreciate any thoughts about experience with these.

Happy New Year to all

Hi Craig,

Sorry just saw this. Lots of youtube videos on templates for VSL . Anne Kathrin Dern has some.

VEP does a great job of resource management and all your samples are loaded up and ready to go. I find I can reference a lot of instruments in VEP from S1 and still record audio without a lot of latency or S1 crashing. If S1 does crash everything is still loaded in VEP so you're up and running again fast. VEP also loads up MIR if you have it and once you get the routing figured out, wow.

There's no way of getting around the fact that building templates is time consuming though. Reminds me I have to add in my Synchronized Special Edition samples,

Hi Craig,

I'm just getting into composing and orchestration. I abandoned Samplitude after Windows stopped playing nicely with my interface last year. I was running Bootcamp on an older Mac Mini so retreated to OSX and tried everything else before settling on Studio One. Mainly I use VE7Pro to host instruments but use VST 3 and sound variations in S1 as well. I am not missing Samplitude at all since I can't imagine doing what I can now. With S1, VE7 Pro and VSL Synchron Player it's a whole new world.

Thanks Ben, maybe another time.

Hi Paul

I'm considering Mir Pro 24 but does it come with a basic room or do you have to buy a room pack as well?

199 euro maybe, 345= 

Thanks

Welltempered,

Thanks. I've watched lots of tutorials on the Synchron Player and VE7 and massive templates. Just curious on how to get VE7 into the mix now that the Synchron Player works like magic with S1. At the very least, I can cut down on articulations in my template. I just need to rethink the work flow as I'm just getting into orchestration. Probably best to just use Smart Orchestra for sketches and VE7 for the full thing.

Anyway I have used many DAWs over the last 20 or so years and I'm really liking S1 after 8 years of Samplitude. Very intuitive, IMHO it has the best power to weight ratio.

Thanks again, take care,

Vinny

Paul,

This is really an amazing feature! I have to say I'm delighted to find out about this. I recently switched to Studio One and just got my first VSL products in the last couple of weeks. I'm curious though since I just got Smart Orchestra and VE Pro 7 and started making templates. Any thoughts on how to best integrate all this goodness? Now I have deer in the headlights syndrome !
