1.Any way to install VI WITHOUT VE? 2/5/2013 2:54:27 AM

Thanks Martin. I'll give that a try in the next few days.

2.Any way to install VI WITHOUT VE? 2/1/2013 7:00:40 PM

Just wanted to give this a bump.

People at VSL - is it possible to install VI without VE?

Or failing that if I install the combined VI/VE will my installation of VE3 remain intact?

Thank you.

3.Any way to install VI WITHOUT VE? 12/17/2012 4:32:17 PM

Hello all at VSL,

I still have VE3 installed on my machines for opening legacy projects, but other legacy projects use VE4/5 with the basic VI Player. I now cannot open the VE4/5 projects as the basic VI player has been upgraded and needs to be installed separately (along with VE). I'm worried that if I install the new VI/VE software it will overwrite VE3. Is it possible to only install VI?

Thanks in advance,

Martin

4.VE Pro 5 controlling volume with Logic. How do you do it without MIDI CC Chase working? 10/31/2012 12:54:26 PM

In the left hand pane of the arrange window in Logic (just below the inspector and above the channel strip) there is a panel for the MIDI instrument settings. Tick the boxes next to Volume and Pan. In the MIDI pane of the project settings make sure the box next to 'send after loading project: used MIDI instrument settings' is ticked. That should do it for CC7 & 10. For 91 you could try also ticking the 'send after loading project: all fader values' box.

5.lil help? feedback my plan for an orchestral film scoring set-up based on VSL SE and VEP 7/23/2012 5:15:06 PM

Look for a specialist PC builder who makes workstations for audio. In the UK I have had a good experience with Direct Resolutions and Carillon. One thing to consider is that you may need an extra network card for the PC slave rather than using the ethernet connection on the motherboard as I've found it provides a more reliable connection. These are only £30 or so though.

Having made the case for a PC slave, I now think that the Mac Mini has the benefit of being a convenient replacement should you find that your MacBook Pro is not up to the task of being the master machine. The same cannot be said if you buy a PC slave. I was using the same MacBook Pro as you until the start of this year and it really was struggling with Logic when I was running 10 instances of VEP (not all full) and a few Altiverbs. Admittedly Altiverb is a bit hard on the CPU.

6.lil help? feedback my plan for an orchestral film scoring set-up based on VSL SE and VEP 7/21/2012 12:52:01 AM

Change the Mac Mini Server for a Win7 PC if you're using it for a slave - you'll get more bang for your buck and you'll barely have to interact with it so it's not like the OS matters beyond providing a stable environment for VEP. You can control it using Remote Desktop Connection which is free. I agree that the master machine looks on the weak side. Perhaps you could use the Mini Server as the main machine and not use a slave?

My tuppence worth...

7.Problem with 1st note played on Harpsichord after long gap 7/10/2012 4:28:17 PM

Hey all at VSL,

I'm having a problem with the Harpsichord. Please listen to the example at the link;

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/504922/media/cembalo_problem.mp3

This is an E5 played at a velocity of 60 repeatedly. As you can hear the first note played after a gap of a certain length seems to be significantly louder than the others. I'm using VEP v5.0.10738 & VIP v2.2.10738 on a Win7 PC. My master machine is running Logic 9.1.7.

Any idea what is going on here and how I can fix it?

TIA,

Martin

8.vep5 and logic Bug 5/19/2012 12:53:44 PM

Select the instrument in the arrange page. In the 'Track' menu select 'New with next MIDI channel'. Done.

9.VIP GUI lag under RDC? 1/23/2012 11:38:32 AM

Hi popmann,

I just tried reducing the colour depth and that did reduce the lag. Unfortunately I can't plug in a screen right now as it would mean a bit too much faffing around and I'm up against a deadline. I will check it in a couple of weeks to see if it makes a difference.

It does seem that this problem is unique to VIP2 (on my system at least). Anything I can do to help sort it please let me know.

Martin

10.VIP GUI lag under RDC? 1/19/2012 12:04:30 PM

Hey all in Vienna,

I've been updating my template this week to take advantage of VIP2 and I've noticed that the GUI lags significantly behind any inputs (including mouse clicks) when it is playing anything. About 2 minutes after any playing has stopped the lag disappears.

It's worth mentioning that I am using MS RDC to access the slave machine with VEP & VIP2 on it.

Every other VST hosted on the same machine has no problem (VI, Kontakt, G-Player, Omnisphere).

Anu idea how I can fix this?

Martin

11.Hiding slave machines in cupboard - what's best way to see the screens? 11/17/2011 8:58:13 AM

Hi Al,

With RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) & VNC an application window opens on the screen of your master machine showing you the desktop of the slave machine. You can use the mouse and keyboard of your master machine within this window to control the slave machine. I would illustrate this with a screenshot but I'm away from the studio right now - I'll post one later.

Nick's message about the limitations of RDC/VNC are worth bearing in mind. I used to use a KVM switch (and I kept it in case RDC stops working), but after quite a few years working with RDC it's been proven to be very stable for me. In any case you will need to connect the slave computer to a monitor/keyboard/mouse at least once in order to setup up the RDC/VNC server.

As I understand it Air Display is a way to extend your desktop onto a extra device wirelessly but at no time is it possible to control the extra device - you just make use of it's display. If this is true the functionality is not the same at all.

HTH,

M

12.Hiding slave machines in cupboard - what's best way to see the screens? 11/15/2011 11:31:02 AM

Use Remote Desktop or VNC. You can see and control the slave machines from your main machine using either of these solutions. Remote Desktop is the best provided the OS software on your slaves supports it.

HTH,

M

13.AP Strings or Orchestra Strings I & II? 9/1/2011 9:17:31 PM

There are a host of playing techniques (flaut, sul pont, harmonics, col legno, bartok pizz) not covered in the AS's, and although some prefer the tone of them I'd have to say I'd take the extra techniques of the OS's anyday - it's rare that a piece I write won't use some of them. The only thing to my mind that's missing from the OS's is the addition of a molto expressivo or molto vibrato patch.

I should mention that my experience with the AS's is very limited though - I don't own them but I have had the chance to play with them at a colleague's studio. However I don't need to use them for long to know that I'd prefer sul pont to be available to me should I want it.

Just my tuppence worth...

14.How to hook up VSL and Pro Tools 8/29/2011 11:12:15 PM

I don't own Pro Tools, but in every sequencer there is a "piano roll" type editor. You should just be able to select a pencil or draw tool and draw a note at the correct time and pitch. Using this you can be very precise. Sorry I can't be more specific - maybe someone here who uses PT can help with the details.

15.How to hook up VSL and Pro Tools 8/29/2011 4:33:44 PM

I find it easiest to draw keyswitches in manually after the fact for fast passages. Obviously this means that I first play the passage through without keyswitches using a suitable articulation.

I wish you the best of luck using Sibelius - let us know if the workflow is any easier with that.

16.How to hook up VSL and Pro Tools 8/28/2011 10:14:31 AM

The Vienna software allows you to change articulations with key switches - it will work in every sequencer (including Pro Tools). Have you done any "poking around" in the Vienna Instruments manual? Wink

17.LA Scoring Strings in VEP 8/20/2011 12:26:56 PM

I'm using LASS Full & LS - the only problem I had is that Kontakt's background loading wasn't working properly in VEP, so I turned it off. Otherwise plain sailing for me.

Martin, I read the Gaurdian from time to time and unfortunately their readership doesn't know how to debate.  When I call out some of their erroneous reporting or challenge an editorial leaving a comment on their website, instead of engaging in honest healthy debate they just attack me by calling me a "racist," or "Bigot" or "moron" or whatever.  Apparently if you don't goose step to the prevailing left wing drum at the time, you're ridiculed and dismissed.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what I said. I was saying that the accusation being levelled at the BBC (that they don't make good programmes) applies to Sky too (I'd argue that Sky are worse). The BBC do organise and broadcast the Proms (despite PaulR's convenient amnesia).

But yeah the internet is awash with idiots who won't debate. I'm not sure about foreign papers websites but all the UK ones are terrible - populated with idealogues who aren't interested in any view which differs from their own. This applies to the right as much as left though and they're both as bad as each other.

Jasen - don't take any notice of Martin.

Jasen - it's difficult for Americans to understand this. But what you
proabably don't know is that the 182 readers of The Guardian are all
mentally ill and need help. They think Captain Pugwash is going to do a
great job of running the country in 3 years time and all their benefits
will be restored, payed for by anyone stupid enough to still be paying tax.

Kind of proves my point doesn't it? Ridiculing and dismissing going on right there.

Mis-reporting (or as they prefer to call it editorialising) is true of every paper. For example, the Daily Mail hyped up the MMR vaccine scare (though they weren't the only one). Then when the research saying it was dangerous was debunked they didn't print a thing. So now our vaccination rates have plummeted and we had our first deaths from measles in decades (as we were at, or close to, herd immunity levels before the scare) and the Mail print an article saying it's the French that have caused the rise in measles infections.

The Telegraph recently printed a story saying that average wages in the public sector were higher than the private sector (which plays nicely into the narrative of public sector bad & wasteful, private sector good & efficient). The problem is that's is so much more complicated than that. Yes the average wage is higher but that's partly because all the low skilled jobs have been outsourced to private companies. Also, we know that women are paid less than men to do the same job and that women are disproportionally employed in the public sector so if anything the result should be the opposite. However since proper research hasn't happened we don't actually know. And this happens every day in all of the papers - utter crud being printed based on the political stripe of the paper rather than on solid research and reporting.

I don't see a lot of Fox News but I know the lack of balanced reporting in the US isn't just confined to the left.

However, none of this has anything to do with my original point.

Not sure why the font on my site is appearing small - I'll look into it and thanks for the heads up!

19.VEP server incompatible with SoundLib G Player 8/16/2011 10:18:56 PM

That's odd. G-Player works fine here (in the server). And I thought G-Player played the Giga files natively - there doesn't seem to be any conversion taking place?

20.Yet another winner!... 8/16/2011 10:09:09 PM

I normally wouldn't get involved in these kind of discussions but I really can't resist this one - what "quality" programmes do Sky make? All I see is live sports, "reality" tv and American imports.

And if you want to talk about bias in the news - Sky's reporting of the NotW phone hacking scandal has been atrocious (they ignored it for just about as long as they could) but then again News Corp (owner of the NotW) holds the biggest stake in Sky (and has been lobbying for the BBC to be shut down for years).

Perhaps that's the kind of objective journalism you'd like to see more of.

I'd like to sign off on a happier note than that though, so for those of you unfamiliar with The Guardian, Daily Mail & NotW I present to you a clip that is still the very best overview of our beloved UK newspapers;

21.VE Pro MAS support? 7/30/2011 10:20:11 AM

Just out of curiousity - does this mean we can also have more audio channels returned (instead of the current 16) or will that remain a limitation?

If you're using Logic you're better off with multiple instances (thanks to the one core overload issue).

I see. As as user of RDC (and previously VNC) I'm well used the the process of editing VEP instances remotely, but it's never felt at all like a clunky workaround or got in the way of my "flow". Have you tried it?

25.VEPro feature request 7/3/2011 10:34:50 AM

Can I ask why you don't want to use remote access like RDP or VNC? These protocols are well established and stable and there are already good applications out there to make use of them. Maybe if I understood your issue I could offer some solutions.
