The composition and performance are absolutely amazing.

So is the acompaning video.
 
I like that the mix is not drowned in reverb, but keeps a very natural direct sound.

Thanks for sharing this!

Great work!

Stefan

Hi Sami,

I had the same question before.
Here is the Thread:

Hi Andi,

you're so right. My mistake.

What can I say...
New software, new: "I know nothing!"

I think Synchron Player is really great, will take me a while to get familiar with how it works.

Thanks

Stefan

Looks like I made a mistake in the Program No. assignment.
It jumps to the cell with the assigned program.

Here is Screen-Video of the Cell-Jump.

Hi Paul,

there is a weird change of cells when dragging or even selecting a cell.

I try to describe it in this screenshot
It is quite reproducable. If you cannot reproduce it I'd be happy to open a TeamViewer session.

Best regards
Stefan

Thanks Paul for the quick reply.

Maybe a switch could help.

Show me Patch-Names
Show me Abreviated-Names (more legible)

For quickly checking if I got my system set up properly I would prefer to see what is actually in it (patch-names)

Best Regards
Stefan

Hi,

It seems to rename many articulations.

In my opinion it might be helpfull to see the real patch names just for oversight what is where.

Best Regards

Stefan

PS: I am aware that I can see the real name on the left hand side, but not before I actually click on the cell.

Hi,

when I drag OB_lgt_fast_oV into a slot it is renamed OB_lgt_fast_V.

This might be confusing as it suggests it contains a Vibrato Patch.

Sounds very impressive.
And yes, the organ is a great idea!
Stefan

Very convincing performance!

Thanks Dave!

I rely heavily on MIR.

This time I experimented with different directions in MIR. I think it was Paul who pointed out in one post, that it migth be a good idea to point instruments away from the mic.

It seems to work great for the French Horns.
They point to the wall anyway in real life.

Thanks William,

that means a lot coming from someone who has quite some impressive publications with VSL himself!

I always struggled with length. My workflow still is so slow.

The VSL samples are amazingly realistic, that's for sure.

Thanks
Stefan

Hi all,

Continuing my exploration of mixing VSL and Live Players.

Häxan

Piano, Bassoon and Uprigth Bass are from VI - Full Libraries.

The Flute and the Brass section have been performed and multitracked by a life musician.

Mixed in Cubase with MIR24 andStudio Weiler.

Any comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

Stefan

Thank you for the quick reply, Paul.

The reason I was asking is that someone recommended in the forum some time ago that double reeds sound best without the release sample. I always felt he was right about that, and switching off the release sample made them more crisp and natural sounding.

Best Regards

Stefan

HI,

It seems to me that release samples cannot be turned on and off in the Synchron Player, or did I miss something in the manual or the user interface?

Stefan

Thanks Fabio,

The title is inspired by the contrast of themes, powerfull vs. small and elegant. I thougth the title was appropriate and blends in with the other pieces.

:)

By the way, I changed the MIR Venue to Teldex.
I sometimes feel - for a guy with very  limited mixing abilites like me - Teldex  is easier to handle than Synchron Stage.

Stefan

Hi all,

David & Goliath

I wrote this peace a month ago and finally got some time to perform it with VSL.

Most instruments are from the VI - Full Libraries.
For strings I used Orchestral Strings and chamber strings for divisi.
Mixed in Cubase with MIR24 and Synchron Stage.

The Brass section has been performed and multitracked by a life musician.

All comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

Stefan

This is very sad news.

Hello Andi,

thanks for the quick reply.

I wish I could somehow define the increment independendly of the number of rows.
I know that I always can insert empty rows to keep the increment constant but this would defy the elegant stucture of the Synhron Player which I like a lot.

I think it's a great product.

Best Regards

Stefan

Hi,

I'm new to the Synchron Player.
I would like to use Controllers instead of Keyswitches.

I figured out how to configure a Controllersetting.
It seems to me that I can assign 8 controllers (A to H), and some of the Dims have been already assigned to do crossfading etc.

Emabarassingly enough I cannot figure out the controller value that triggers the next slot in a row. It doesn't seem to be linear (like in the VI Player).

Step = 127 divided by number of slots.

Thanks for any help.

Stefan

Hi Dietz,

Thanks for helping!

I know this is slightly off-topic because I do not intend to add  any Virtual Instruments to the Mix, but maybe the information is useful anyway.

Here is my result (Recording Studio Weiler):

Hi Ben,

Hi,

very interesting topic.

We recently recorded svereral tracks with a Lute with a stereo mike in the studio.
Should I convert the signal to Mono before feeding it into MIR?

Best Stefan

Hi Paul

it's a great peace and very well done. Sections like the ones in 0:50, 1:17, and 1:50 are so convincing (Hope I got the timemarkings right).

Sometimes I would consider doubling the melody of violins 1 with flutes (e.g. 1:50. or 2:20). If you haven't done so and I missed it. The Bass line sometimes a bit more rythmic and snappier with shorter notes and the supporting harmonic background a tad bit more present.

Hope I can listen to your symphony soon.

Best Stefan
