Hello kohltor,

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but since we are customers of Steinberg ourselves, we don‘t have any influence on the current situation. This is the recent statement from Steinberg: https://helpcenter.stein...74-License-server-outage

"We are experiencing license server outages which lead to failed license transactions (license activation, license transfer and license upgrades).
We are investigating and work on a resolution to be available as soon as possible.

Please note: Licenses cannot get lost! Failed license transactions can be restarted once the license server is back online.!"

Best, Michael

Oh yes, I remember the Glissandi very well! We've wasted dozens of erasers and the top of the resonance body of the Piano looked like the gravel zone of a race track ;-)

Hello Stefan,

Thanks for asking! To be honest, I don't remember exactly how we've recorded each effect, since it's almost 14 years ago. But pressing the pedal would make sense to let the chain vibrate more effectively, for example. The screws spread the strings, so the dampers could be blocked, pressing the pedal could be a workaround too, maybe occasionally half pedaling has been applied, solutions like that...

I hope that helps a bit!

Best, Michael

Hi Fraz,

Thanks for your interest in additional products of the Vienna Symphonic Library!

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it's not our policy to share information about special prices in advance, I hope you understand. Our newsletter will keep you posted about upcoming sales promotions first hand.

But given the fact that with the purchase of the VI-Superpackage Full Library you'd save almost EUR 4.000.- compared to a purchase of each collection separately, it's a pretty good deal anyway.

Best, Michael

Dear forum members, please avoid of getting too personal with your replies. A lively discussion is appreciated, but refrain from personal attacks.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hello Stig,

Yes, the Dimension Brass has been recorded senza vibrato. Since the whole setup was different to e.g. the VI-Trumpet Ensemble(https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Brass_I/Trumpet_ensemble_3#!Sample_Content), our goal was to achieve a very distinct, clean sound for each individual instrument. The group of four performed the sample recording as a whole at once, but each player has been miked individually. Vibrato gave us an additional roomsound, which didn't fit to our imaginations how this product should sound. But you could easily blend e.g. the Trumpet Bb vibrato patch with the Dimension Brass Trumpets.

Hello Stawei,

Thank you for your interest in our products! Demolicenses for library products are only available for extended sample content, so it'd be necessary to purchase the standard library first. As for the Vienna Imperial standard library, no extended content is available.

Best, Michael

Hello James,

Thanks for your recent purchase in our web shop!

If you're downloading with our download manager, you'll always get the newest version with all updates included.

Regarding the Video: Yes, they're programmed slighty off grid to each other, but it depends which patch you're using. Some of them are available in the Full Library, so maybe that's the difference.

I hope that helps!

All the best, Michael

Hello Darren,

 

Thanks for your recent purchase in our web shop!

Yes, you could use the ViennaKey that already holds the licenses of your Appassionata Strings to download additional licenses.

 

I hope that helps!

All the Best, Michael

Quote: Sometimes one should just replace the instrument if it has flaws / special needs.

That‘s exactly what we did. We had a lot of instrumts to choose from, and the ones we‘ve used for the sample recordings are the instruments with the best sound balance in every aspekt. But that‘s a question of personal taste as always...

Best, Michael Hula

For the muted C-Trumpet we've made some adjustments at the mute to avoid unwanted frequences and noises.

For the muted Bb Trumpet as well as for the Vienna Dimension BrassII Trumpets we've used straight mutes without any changes.

I hope that helps!

To put it simple: If the key is under the two years hardware-warranty, it'd be necessary to send the key to us. Once the key arrived in our office, you'd get a new key, a 48h demo license to complete ongoing projects, and you'll receive the replacement licenses for free. If the key is outside the warranty you could purchase replacement licenses for EUR 20.- per license.

If the key holds a valid Vienna Protection Plan, you'd get a 50h Emergency License to complete ongoing projects and you'll receive the replacement licenses for free.

To possess an additional spare key is a good solution anyway!

Best, Michael Hula

Hello Firefrost,

Duplicating a license isn't possible, because that would be of course completely counterproductive in terms of a copy protection. However, there are two solutions:

- If you want to be safe in case your ViennaKey fails, you could transfer your licenses to a new key to be protected by our warranty of two years. The date of the purchase of the key counts.

- If you want to be protected additional against loss of your ViennaKey, our Vienna Protection Plan is the way to go.

I hope that helps!

Best, Michael Hula
