Just resaved the project in a VI pro enviroment and it loads a lot faster now but still not nearly as fast as on my server.

Are there any tweaks to the system that I can do to spead up the loading time?

Hi,

Just bough this new Aceer laptop: http://www.amazon.com/gp...041RSFQE/ref=oss_product to take with me on tour.

Windows 7 64

8gb ram

i7

54rpm

When I load the project loading 2.5gb of VSL sounds into ram it takes about 8 minutes.

The same project on my Xeon dual core 32gb ram loads in about 3 minutes.

I wonder if this is normal and whether or not there is something I can do to speed the loading time up.

I tryied loading it from the internal 54rmp HD (c) as well as from external esata and a usb drives. Same project takes about the same time to load.

Is this normal for a laptop?

I appreciate your advise.

What are some of the best IR libraries that you could recommend to buy and use within VS reverb?

Would anybody know what the solution might be?

I have two Vista 64 PCs. The main with Cubase and the slave with VSL.

I used to be able to connect to VSL through remote desktop. But after upgrading my main PC I can't log on to VSL.

The message "incorrect user name or password" appears.

But
what is the most frustrating is that when I try to change/reset my
log in info Vista prompts me to insert floppy or flash drive, I do insert the flash drive but am still unable to change/reset the password.

I've been stuck like this for several months and have to use 2 keyboards, 2 mice and a separate monitor for the VSL PC.

Tried various things, suggested on the net but nothing works.

I'd greatly appreciate any advise.

Thank you.

+1 for epic low brass.

+1.

As far as where to start, perhaps you can check Symphobia for a reference and hear the feedback of it's users.

Paul,

I am confused. I thought the price was going to increase on the 15th of April. Are you saying that the price will increase after the reverb is released?

Thanks,

sasha

Thanks for the reply, Dietz.

Is there any way to audition the
VS reverb before the price increase? Frankly, the VS reverb is what
triggered my interest to purchase the VS, since I already have several nice plugins including the Universal Audio ones.

If the VS
reverb is not out by the 15th is it posible at leat to hear some
comparisons of the VS reverb to it's competitors and/or to MIR so one can make a decision and license the VS before the price increase?

Also, what's the technology behind the FAT button in the Compressor, how did you realize it?

Thank you.

Just downloaded the demo of VS and must say that I was very
impressed with both the sound quality and with the ease of use due to a
very responsive visual design. Probably the cleanest EQ I have ever heard among software EQs.

1. Is Convolution Reverb in VS a scaled down version of MIR? Will it be sonically similar to MIR?

2. Will there be an upgrade path for VS users to MIR?

3. Does the power panning plugin use the same algorithms and sounds the same as the powerpanning in VE?

4. What will be the price of VS after the increase?

Thank you.

 Studiologic TMK-88 is the one I use.

It's very light and only 3 inches tall, so it fits very conviniently on a sliding shelf under the desktop of my workstation.

 WHEN?

 I too get the noise blasts once in a while. I noticed that it happens when you solo a channel in VE3 while the sequencer is playing. Once you un-solo it seems like all the tracks that were muted during the solowed track burst with all the data that was going into them during the solo. The noise is extremely loud! It once went into the headphones of a musician during the recording session, he jumped up and almost had a heart attack.

In other words do NOT solo VE while the sequencer is playing. It doesn't happen all the time, but once or twice is enough.

Similar setup and similar problem.

Intel S5000PSL motherboard

2x Xeons 5140 CPUs

32 gb ram (8x 4gb sticks) Kingston

Vista Ultimate 64

I too experience audio drop-outs. I have the onboard LAN connected via a cross wire cable to the main PC.

I guess I should try the LAN card to solve the problem. I see the light in the end of a tunnel. But, for now I haven't figured out the source of the problem. It's really annoying, though. After so much time and money was put into building this thing.

Hi,

I have just built a slave PC to run VE3.

I have loaded 4 instruments in one instance of VE, totalling about 1.5 of ram. Streaming from a separate non system drive.

The slave server is conected to the sequenser PC via a ethernet crosscable and accesed via Remote Desktop. 

When I play the midi I hear constant dropouts and break-ups in the sound. About once every 5, 10 seconds the system hangs for about one second and then continues to play. The GUI of VE3 also freezes during those break-ups.

The cpu meeter in VE3 show around 4%. The ram is 10%. 

I did disable the virtual ram but I don't think it helped too much.

What can I do to fix the problem?

Thank you.

P.S. I put this system together following Christian's recommendation, so I don't think there are any issues on a hardware side.

My system:

Intel S5000PSL motherboard.

2x Xeon 5140 CPUs. 

32gb Kingston KVR667D2D4F5K2/8G ram.

3x 750GB SATA II Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 7200RPM 32MB ST3750330AS with a separate system drive.

Vista Ultimate 64 bit.

Thanks for the advise, Christian.

Perhaps the VE3 would open
blank because it couldn't find the shared folder with Vienna presets. I
don't know but projects would just open with the black VE3 default instance.

I think I found the solution though. At least I can open my old VE2 projects.

After
uninstalling the VE3 I installed it into a different folder, under
different name and called it a Vienna Ensemble 3. That way whenever I
open the projects that used VE2 they open with VE2 but when I open a new instance of VE  it opens VE3. 

I have just licenced the VE3 to connect to my new 32gb slave. The connection was very easy and everything works well.

When I opened the project that used VE@, though, it opend with the blank VE3 instead and didn't load any of the sounds I used and saved in theis project.

I had to uninstall VE3 in order for the project to open again with VE2.

Is there any way to open older songs with VE3 or to be able to still use VE2? Or am I missing something?

Thank you.

Hi,

I am finishing up building the new Vista 63 bit machine and came across these options of file format. 

By default drive C is in NTFS. The sample drive, however appeared as FAT32.

Then I have read that exFAT is the successor of the FAT32. 

What is the most appropriate file format to run VSL? 

Thank you.

sasha 

I couldn't find it in the archives neither.

Can somebody point to that info? 

also seriously: how should that happen except as described here (less seriously)

??? 

Last time I traveled I just put the key in the luggage without even thinking what I was risking.

The next time I fly I will strap it to my body.

But, seriously, with the system as sophisticated as Synchrosoft, isn't there
a way to disable/disconnect/terminate (you pick the word) the licenses on the lost or stollen key?

As far as the analogy with
the car or the mixing board, the actual car or the board would have
to be reproduced from scratch and it makes sense to reimburse the company for that. In case of licensing it's just reissuing the authorization numbers.

Solo Stirongs II? Where is the info about that?

Can't the licenses just be terminated in case of the loss of a dongle? 

Just run into this thread as I'm building my 32gb slave.

Needless to say I too would love to see this feature when I could just use the same 30gb template and keep it on all the time.

I'm glad that Herb is working on it.

DG, I thought you were jocking about 16gb loading in 30 seconds.  Currently I have to wait for about 3 minutes for 1.5gb to load on my dual core 2 duo 2gb pc.

Great. Thank you Christian. That's what I wanted to hear.

I am also at the moment scoring film with the Bourne Ultimatum type of texture.

For
short energetic strings I use combination of harsh, for accented notes, staccato, spiccato,
and short staccato, all from an orchestral strings. I tried appassionata and while great for long phrases it is a little to massive for short staccatos, in my opinion.

 I also layered harsh patches with long sustain to give it more bite, I think it works.

 I'll post a link once I'm done with it.

Good luck with your score.
