After doctoring and manually installing and re-installing and transferring missing third party plugins over from my old mac, I was able to open a 10 year old project, which I made on a mac G6 in 2012 in fact...everything works flawlessly and loads quickly in cubase 12 now! incredible!

You are indeed correct, VEP has a much better performance, a better one, even than the Synchron Player, ironically. While it would take me almost an hour to render a simple instrument track on my previous mac, it just rendered the whole orchestral piece in under one minute! Very nice.

I still want to stick for Synchron Player an OPUS for the time being as it is simply more manageable for me and I won't have to deal with secondary apps and its little annoying helper windows.

Hi there!

I recently got a new mac and got it all up and running over the last few days. My new machine is a beast! It's a Mac Studio Ultra with 128GB of RAM and 2TB disk space.

My DAW is Cubase 12 and everything feels so snappy and fast. It loads up in a few seconds - it's a dream!

However I am a little disappointed by the performance especially in connection with VE Pro and Synchron Player. I have experienced similar performance issues on my older mac as well!

Here are some of the issues:

+ on my older mac (i7 3930K) rendering times are slow, sometimes unbearably slow, especially with Vienna Ensemble! I once rendered out just a few notes of a 2 minute track and it took almost half an hour!

+ in Cubase 12, I made a test project with 18 Synchron Player instances and random notes playing. when hitting the PLAY button, the performance meter peaks out and I get dropouts. definately not normal on a Mac Ultra machine...

+ rendering on the mac studio ultra took 2:30 for a 3minute track (in comparison: same track but with just OPUS player loaded took 1:30 minutes to render)

+ I have to mention that I am only rendering in 48KHz 32Bit these days

Is there some stuff I can do to make performance with Synchron Player and VE better? Is this a software issue that VSL is still working on? I saw that there isn't even an M1 native version out yet.

Happy to hear your experiences if you just got a new machine!

That's super awesome! Thanks so much!

Can we expect a "Synchron-IZED" variant of that library in the near future? I really don't use VI Pro all that often, mostly just the Synchron Player as it is easier to manage as an instance in my DAW.

Since my other libraries seem to have a Synchron Player counterpart, I thought it would be a nice thing to have.

Hi there,

I just got a new computer and re-installed all my vienna libraries, including the "Vienna Whistler" - but this library in particular is not showing up in Synchron Player. It does however show as installed in the Vienna Assistant and when I open up Vienna Instruments Pro, I see it there too.

Is this some kind of bug or are most VI libraries simply not compatible with the Synchron Player?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

it didn't do that before, so why change the behaviour? launching the service on cubase launch makes no sense to me and I don't really want to bother messing around with my VST folder too much, as it's also taking time. so there is no real win with this workaround. thanks anyways. I guess I will be slowly transitioning to a different sample library from now on :(

I am having the same issue and was hoping that after a couple of months (I started getting this issue around february/march with one of the last updates) I would see some people complaining on this forum.

Now, every time I launch cubase, it waits for the VE software to load the GUI, which slows down the startup process significantly. I would love to have a solution for this problem. Is there an option to turn the GUI off when cubase is cycling through its list of plugins?
