Well i just joined the club...Same error message as was posted earlier.

Ok here's what i found on Motunation. This fixed Both UAD issues AND VEPRO.

Let me know if it helps you too!

Digital Performer and Universal Audio Workaround fix for UAD plug-ins on macOS High Sierra
1.) Run the UAD 9.4 installer. Restart the computer. If this is the first time running the UAD installer, make sure to enable the UAD driver in System Preferences, Security & Privacy.
2.) Open the Applications folder and drag the Digital Performer application to the trash. If you have multiple versions of DP, be sure to drag all versions to the trash.
3.) Hold the Option Key while clicking on the Finder's "GO" drop-down menu, select Library, then open the Preferences folder. Find the com.motu.MotuAudioSystem folder and drag it to the trash. Empty the trash.
4.) Download the DP 9.51 installer available at motu.com/downloads and run the installer.
5.) Find the VST folder (System HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/) and rename the folder to anything other than “VST” (for example, “VST_temp”).
Your Audio Unit UAD plug-ins will now be available in Digital Performer.

Hi Paul,

i've tried moving around with my e-licensers and iLoks and with the ectic life of a film composer and dad of 5 kids...I always ended up forgetting my keys at home or studio...My wife even put my jeans direct in the washer once with my iLok in it ; P I was lucky, it survived! I guess she chose low spin cycle...

Thanks Paul!

Hi guys,

i work everyday from the studio in the daytime, then i continue my work at home at night. I find i have not been investing as much as i would like to in VSL libraries because afaik you can't authorize your libraries on 2 e-Licensers contrary to VEPRO. Even the 2 or 3 libraries VSL i own get little to no use because of that.

Is this something that VSL will eventually consider in the near future?

Best regards!

Claude

Thank you Karel,

Best!

Claude

As the title says, each time i start up VEP5, MIRPRO wich i do not own, eats up authorisation counts on my e-licenser. Is there a way to prevent this?

Claude

Was pretty excited about this new feature but it doesn't seem to work with DP 7.24 on the same machine as VEPRO5.

Hi everyone,

will VEP 5 support 10.5.8? 

Best,

Claude

First of all,

the fact that you may "select any number of MIDI tracks in DP and do a bounce to disk command and have everything bounced to a single track, even if you've selected tracks associated with external slaves" is just awesome and mind-boggling IMO. Even if you're driving loops on an external machine with tempo changes etc...It works!?! Kudos to the VSL team!

That's for the flowers now here's the pot ; )

Bounce to disk operations are very long, between 1 and 2 minutes, even if you select 1 midi track that lasts 4 bars. Actually it takes about the same time as if you choose 16 tracks for 48 bars....I have a very fast machine so the actual bouncing is lightning fast, it's the preparation that seems to take forever wether you choose 1 or 24 tracks...

I've tried decoupling and it doesn't change anything. Is this a DP/VE PRO specific thing or are Logic users noticeing the same thing?

Claude

Hi John,

nice to know everything works with the new version. Regarding the question you ask in this post there is a thread here that will answer your questions i think.

Bonne fin de semaine ; )

Hi David,

i had these "crash on saves" a few times but i noticed that it generally happened when i was very near maxing out the memory on my machine. 6 gigs.

As for the V-Rack question, i haven't noticed better or worse stability using the V-Rack or not. One advantage of not doing it with the V-Rack would be that you could have DP remember completely different setups in your VEPRO instances for each of your cue. If you use the V-Rack and change stuff in you VEPrO instances only the changes you did last will be remembered so if you need to go back to a prior cue you won't be able to recall the corresponding setup. But you can create as many V-Racks as you wish in DP, one per Chunk if you wish...

Maybe i'll start a thread of my own for this but i find that when i bounce my MIDI tracks to audio sometimes the process is very long and sometimes it's really quick and i can't correlate cause and effect...But being able to bounce MIDI tracks to audio and this even from external slaves is pretty incredible if you ask me!!!

Hi Philco,

i can confirm i'm having these random .5 secs drop-outs in VEPRO. This using Localhost. Haven't noticed this from the G5 slave.

Hey Philco,

this may be related or not but in DP i get CPU spikes when i have a Kontakt instance opened. Even if they are both idle. VEPRO is not even opened.

Try experimenting with Kontakt's multi-processor preferences. I know that NI advises against enabling multi-processor support in K4 as they say that the DAW should take charge of this. As for using K4 within VEPRO i don't know what would be recommendable?

Hi Roberto,

just installed VEPRO on my old G5 2X2.5 w/6gigs RAM.

I use it as a slave with my new MacPro. It works great. I use it mainly for Drums(Toontrack EZDrummer) and loops Kontakt-(libraries like Evolve and Sample Logic) and Stylus RMX. 

It's flawless. Even the tempo from the host is transmitted to the slave, really useful when working with loop-based material or sounds that use delays that need to stay in synch with your song's tempo.

You will need to install Leopard 10.5.8 on your G5 though. No worries, i just installed it over Tiger without a glitch and i had 6 years worth of stuff on my G5, plenty could have gone wrong i tought, but gladly i was wrong ; )

Maybe i'm pushing my luck but up till now i'm plugged through a 10/100 ethernet switch and it works great. VSL says to use a gigabit ethernet connection wich i will surely do. But it just gives you an idea of how solid VEPRO is. A fabulous piece of engineering!

Kudos VSL.

Claude

Just got a new MacPro and i installed VEPRO on my old G5 to use it as a Kontakt slave. 

I'm using a 10/100 Linksys DSL router/8 port switch and i've got to say that it works like a charm..!?! It's not even gigabit.

Haven't tried a power session yet but i had 5 or 6 Kontakt tracks running plus an instance of Toontrack EZ Drummer.

I must also say that the feel is fantastic playing drums live from the keyboard. I don't feel the latency. The buffer settings on my MacPro are at 256 in Digital Performer 7.2

I'm starting to think my G5 will be the bottleneck before the 10/100 connection starts being a problem.

BTW i tried connecting the MacPro into the G5 using the second Ethernet port on the Mac Pro and even though i wasn't using a crossed Ethernet cable the G5 appeared on the MacPro's Desktop and i could use Remote viewing but VEPRO did not see the G5. Anybody tried using a crossed connection with success?

Best,

Claude

Hi DG,

i'm sure you're right but to me it's confusing because when i look at the top of the e-licensers i have 36 starts left and i had 40 1 hour ago.

It doesn't say anywhere that i have 40 left for Ext libs and xx left for VIPRO...

As long as when the VIPRO trial is over i still have the 40 i had left for trying extended libs...all will be good.

Thanks!

Claude

Hi DG,

it's just that if i understand correctly, i won't have any licenses left for trying the extended libraries of my Appassionata 2 lib.

Am i missing something?

Claude

Hi,

i just installed VEPRO and it seems that as soon as i start the server a VIPRO instance is created by default. Problem is, this just hate up 3 remaining starts on my Vienna Key?!?

Is there something i can do to prevent VEPRO from loading an instance of VIPRO and load VI instead?

Best,

Claude

Great,

thanks for the info. As soon as these elusive new MacPros come out i'll install 10.5.8 on my G5 and use it as a slave.

Best,

Claude

Thanks you Karel for the info.

Anybody having success with Leopard on a G5?

mine is a 2X2.5Ghz.

TIA

Claude

Hi everyone,

anyone having success using VE PRO on a G5 slave running on OSX 10.4.11(Tiger)? I'm eagerly awaiting for Apple to come out with new MacPros and i'm planning on keeping the G5 as a slave.

Sorry if this has been covered on the forum already, i did a quick search and did not find much.

Best,

Claude

Hi everyone,

i just bought the download version of the Clarinet in Bb. Sounds great BTW! 

It got me thinking about what happens if i decide to buy SE or another collection that already contains these samples. Will i end up paying twice for the clarinet samples i already have?

Sorry if this has already been answered.

TIA

Best,

Claude

Thanks Christian for these precisions.

So if i understand you well, if i purchase a new library, i may ask for a level 2 license to try the corresponding extended library of that new purchase? How many starts does that give you?

Vielen Danke for all your help Christian!

Claude

Same here i lost about 75 startups since installing Vienna Suite demo. Had i known i would not have tried it as the demo licenses are much more important for trying the extended articulations of the Libraries to me.

I'm sure the good people in Vienna will find a solution. Christian said they where working on the problem.

Best,

Claude

I understand this Christian.

The only thing i know is i tried all day to download a license tuesday or wednesday without success and the day after it worked first time...Around 10 or 11 AM here in North America.

I'll try repairing permissions and we'll see.

Thanks again!

Claude
