I have a 32bit instrument that is listed under Preferences/Plugins/Available plugins, but the VSTi will not open in the mixer area. All others work fine but this one instrument. The instrument works fine in my 32bit Studio One. I normally use x64 vst but this particular one, Bagpipes, just will not open in 32bit VEP7 Server. Its a one time use for a special song, so it would be nice to get it to work in 32bit and move on.

Thanks for any help

Thanks Paul. I'll check those settings.

Hello.

System worked great, then a gremlin throws a wrench in the gears. Both server pc's were connecting automatically with compositions that were already in the making. I used to could shut down and come back the next day and all the parts would boot back up how I saved it. Now the songs that were working, will no longer connect automatically. The instances I inserted into the DAW channel have to be manually connected each time. The addresses show up in the window for the server PC's but connecting everything each time is killing a lot of time and the work flow. Any guesses as what I can try? Thanks 

Sorry Paul, but I'm having some difficulty navigating the site. Exactly how do I get to where the additional license are? I have two license on two slaves. I want to put a license on the DAW to use Epic Orchestra. If you could get me to the license section. It used to appear to the left of my account info but it's not showing. Maybe things have changed around some since I purchased the last license. Thanks

Has the price of an extra license gone up? It was 65 for Pro 7 last one I purchased but now I see 95. Also, does Epic orchestra still come with an extra license? Thanks

Hi all.

I thought I had a bad gigabit switch, so I replaced it. There is still no communication to my two PC slaves with Pro Server 7. What I eventually discovered was it all comes on line when I power off and on the switch. It works fine if the new gigabit switch or the old switch is power cycled. But I have to do that when ever I start a session. Anyone have an idea what's going on with my system? It has always worked great up until this last update the other night. The update could've been a while ago, I've just started back after some down time. Thanks for any help.

Thank you Paul.

I understand now. 

Hi Paul. Help me with this please.

My understanding was the master pc did not need a Steinberg key/license while I worked with the DAW but the server/slave pc's did need a Steinberg key/license to work.

If so, I moved the Steinberg key from my master pc to another slave to get the Big Bang Orchestra to play from that pc. But now the master daw pc will not open the Pro 7 server software now. I have ordered another usb key as you suggested but I was trying this to see if it worked like this. I did order an extra license a few months ago so I could use it on my DAW pc but now I have a new computer to add as another server. So it is getting confusing. My setup is this; two slave pc's and one DAW pc.

I'm still rearranging my room but I would like to have the Big Bang on one slave and the other slave for various VST's. And of course the DAW pc to accommodate this. Your thoughts?

Thanks

Is there any purchase involved with using the free Big Bang Orchestra?
Thanks

Well, I'm home from my trip and I get to decipher all these post. In all fairness to Paul, no wonder he's confused/exhausted trying to answer all our questions, driving him nuts... I probably need the other license, but it will be worth it, just to read all these post. Hope everyone else has conquered this transition. Happy music everyone.... 

Thanks bbelius.
I'll be home in a couple of days to confirm. I believe an instance of server may be running on the DAW pc. Hence, another license. Thank you

I do appreciate the debates about license I've been reading, but it leaves me a little more confused. I'm sorry to say Paul, but your answers are a little nebulous. All I expected was to continue working on my existing VEP 6 projects without interruption. 

To reiterate;

I have a DAW and slave. I use the slave for cpu intensive plugins. I want to connect my DAW pc to the slave pc but now it will not because the slave is asking for a license. I don't mean to sound ignorant but I'm asking on behave of my studio personel. It was setup months ago in working condition and now it doesn't work. I just need a solution to keep sessions running. If I have to get another license, so be it. But if I'm missing something to keep it running with just the one license, I would appreciate the solution.

Thanks everyone

Disappointment is a better word. I believe it would have been more appropriate to a least accommodate two computers with license before charging for the additional. I just have two pc's working together with many projects setup that way. I believed that one license would take care of the slave. That was the way I understood VEP 6, the license was just for the slave, not for the DAW pc, any more pc's on the network would require additional license.

This got complicated. Can I go back to VEP 6?

I did download the Epic Orchestra to my DAW pc. That works fine. I then downloaded the Por 7 few days ago to my DAW pc and that works on the DAW pc fine. I then downloaded the VEP 7 to the slave pc. When I try to open the server on the slave, it says no license. I'm assuming that all the projects in VEP 6 that are synced together between my two pc's, should open fine after the update. I hope that's the case, right. I'm only using one pc as a slave. Any thoughts?

I did Martin. I did notice when I open the key on the slave, it reads Vienna Ensemble 6.
Is it supposed to remain that way after upgrade, or should that change to 7?

While we're on license;

I just downloaded and installed to two PC's, just like I've been running VEP 6. & opens fine on the DAW PC. When I try to open the server on the slave, it says no license found. Not sure what I'm missing. Any thoughts please. Thanks

Question;
Does VSL Pro 7 replace Pro 6 as an update. If not, can we still use Pro 6 and Pro 7 together along with the old Epic Orchestra?
If Pro 7 replaces Pro 6, what happens to the other two license I have with Pro 6?

Thanks for your reply Paul. Epic is more of a curious question, as I have more orchestral samples than I know what to do with.
My main interest in Pro 7 upgrade is to take stress off the DAW like Pro 6 does at the moment.
I'm hoping this new version will have insert capabilities for compression, eq, etc.
I have my fingers crossed.

Does the upgrade price from VSL 6 to 7 include the new Epic Orchestra?
Also, are there any significant changes to VSL 7 that makes it more functional?
I can't find clear explanations for this.
Thanks

I've been trying to figure out the VSL/Waves conflict for two years now. Seems as if one of the two vendors could/would figure this out. Neither one of them are cheap and they are both big money makers in the plugin world. At least someone tell me how to get Studio Rack to work in VSL. I would be happy with that. I just want to get the really hungry Waves off onto my VSL slave so I can run my DAW without crashing. Thank you world.

I find that VE Po 6 works well for instruments and fx from a remote pc using Studio One 4. As I have read here, using compressors, de-esser, etc., inserted into tracks seems to be an issue. Has there been any progress in this area? Most of these post are over a year old. Inserting processing into a channel was one of the reasons I purchased VE Pro 6. Also, does anyone use Studio One 4 with the VEPro? If so, can you share any templates in the setup you use with VE Pro? Thanks

Hi all.

Paul, I have the same issue. My setup was working then suddenly can't find the Epic Orchestra. I read through these post and followed your suggestions but have had no luck. Any other help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Also, on another note, (no pun intended), can I install Epic on my laptop so I can work between to pc's? 

Thanks

Hello.

I'm new. Does anyone have any templates they can share for hosting a pc for FX?

I have Studio One 3.5 Pro on one pc, using another pc for the resource heavy vst fx. Instruments are not difficult to grasp so far but using another pc for the fx is a little confusing.

Thanks for any help.
