Dear All

Apologies as I have been out of the VSL scene for sometime now but wondered if things had moved on.  I couldn't see a thread on this topic but as we're in the age of Cloud and all things "software" is it possible yet to use VSL with the soft e-licenser from Steinberg?

Or is another cloud based solution in the offing?  Native Instruments I find is excellent in this regard.

Anyway apologies if this has already been answered - but a quick forum search didn't return any results.

Kind regards

Hmm, very odd - tried again this afternoon and they seem to  be fine.  The screen shot expands into the hovering window and I can now hover over different buttons/sliders and it gives me a description - which it wasn't doing yesterday.  Maybe it was me?

Thanks anyway guys these sites are really good and very informative.

Liking the new layout.  On ViennaSuite.com I can't get the interactive screen shots to work though? (Max OS X SL10.6.4)

HI Karel

They're in .wav format.  And when I click Open, the wave form appears in the convolution wave window, it then gives me a second Open dialogue box and I can load the same or another IR in.

After that I can then cycle through all the .wav's in the directory that I originally loaded the IRs from using the arrows next to the Impulse button.

BTW: VS 1.2.1474

HI, can anyone tell me what is happening when I load up my own IR in the Vienna Suite Convolution Reverb, I click Open, a dialogue box appears, then after selecting an IR a second dialogue box opens asking me to pick another one?

Is this normal?  

I am trying our the IRs from AudioBro's LASS but am unsure if I should be selecting the same IR twice, or the main IR and then a tail IR?

TIA

Ok, so I live in the UK and we can't buy the stupid things yet, but looking at this : http://www.saitarasoftware.com/Site/AC-7_Pro.html

Now imagine an iPad controlling a number of remote machines (or just one) with the VE Pro interface on it!  Hmm, lovely stuff......

...and if so are they showing anything new.  choirs? hint hint?

Obvious question, but have you gone into Directory Manager and added all your sample folders in to it from the external drive?

Hi

Just noticed that there is a VE PRO boxed edition (on macmusic.org) - as I'm a sucker for a good box to sit alongside my other boxes is there anyway I can have the box shipped to me without having to buy everything again?

TIA

Sounds like it's your system.  I've had Logic 9 and VEPRO working very well for ages now and it's very stable.

Suggest you provide more information about your setup and the problems as Maya suggests.

Highly doubt it will be d/l - would be nice though.  Suppose it depends on how big the library is - which we won't know until after the "guess the sample count" competition is over, but I can't see it being less than 10-20GB in size.

Might be wrong though

It's not dangerous, but 11.* addresses are not reserved so they actually belong to people out there on the Internet.

10.*, 172.16.* - 172.31.* and 192.168.* are all reserved for private (or internal) networks so you can use these ranges as you see fit. 

everything else can be used by people on the Internet which would mean you couldn't connect to some sites for example vsl.co.at is located at 212.24.125.70 so if you had set one of your slaves to this number you wouldn't be able to connect to the vsl website.

Interestingly 11.0.0.1 is the US Department of Defence (DoD) Registry Service so you wouldn't want to mess with that ;-)

Regards

Tim

Glad it's working for you.

Be careful about using 11.*.*.* addresses as these are not classified as private, but as long as you aren't trying to connect to the Internet from these machines you will be ok.

10.0.0.* and 10.0.1.* should be fine but ensure you use the subnet 255.255.255.0 for both otherwise you would get problems.

Regards

Tim

Yes it is (I think)

You would need to configure separate IP addresses for each card and each machine.  Don't use automatic IP allocation or DHCP (off a router).

So for example you could have

MacPRO - NIC#1     IP:  10.0.0.1 (VEPRO Traffic)

MacPRO - NIC#2     IP:  10.0.1.1 (RDP Traffic)

PC NIC#1 IP: 10.0.0.2 (VEPRO Traffic)

PC NIC#2 IP: 10.0.1.2 (RDP Traffic)

Also set the VEPRO NIC to be higher in OSX network stack (i.e. move it to the top)

Also ensure you are using a direct connected ethernet cable (i.e. no router in the middle) and that each route has no default gateway specified otherwise the computers get confused.

Sorry if that's all a bit techie...

Tim

Sounds like a corrupt disk.  I'd try copying DVD2 one more time and install locally from HD.

Failing that contact support @ vsl.co.at or your local distributer to ask for replacement media.

Tim

As the new mac minis can have up to 4GB RAM you'll be able to load up some fairly hefty templates, especially if you're going to be using VEPRO on it and running your DAW from another machine.  The only think you should consider is either replacing the internal drive with a 7200RPM one or use an external Firewire drive (also at 7200RPM).  You'll run out of memory or disk i/o way before you hit the processing peak (unless you're running shed loads of Vienna Suite or other Plugins of course)

although reading it again it doesn't say which Holiday season we're talking about, or even which year....

Check your email

or this:here

A Choir

just in time for the holidays

and my melting credit card....

Oh well, you can't take it with you....

PS.  Is it more than 1 000 000 samples?

Kerry

Sorry but I don't think that that would be at all possible.  You are actually talking about distributed computing in it's purest sense and this is not technically achievable using "consumer" or "prosumer" technology.  It would be like running Apple Grand central dispatch over multiple physical machines.  So you either need to run your AUs on the slave or the main DAW.  

Some AUs (mostly Kontakt based ones) allow you to install on multiple machines anyway (e.g. Symphobia) and others like Omnisphere, Stylus allow you to install copies on as many machines as you want.

Ozone is a mastering package.  Vienna Suite also includes Reverb and powerpanner.

Ozone is cheaper and very good for what it was designed to do.  VS is more like a Waves bundle of plugins

To my ears and for the music I write VSL sounds "better", but as you can download a demo of both why don't you compare them yourself and to the style of music you are writing?

Best

Tim

So we have MIR and VEPRO, now we need a nice choir set and also some "exotic" instruments.  It's been s/w for most of this year so about time we got back to samples I think - or do I need to wait until NAMM 2010 or (heaven forbid) Musikmesse 2010

Let the speculation begin ;-)

Also, do you get the same issue if you use RMX in stereo mode (i.e. not multi out)?

Cheers

Tim

A silly question probably, but does using Spotlight in OSX on my VSL sample drives make things better or worse?  Typically the drive contents don't change that frequently so there's probably not a lot in terms of  updating the index files.  

At present I explicitly exclude the two drives from Spotlight but wonder if I'd get an improvement in start up times if I didn't - i.e. when VE is scanning content files is it quicker with Spotlight on?

TIA to those of you more knowledgeable on such matters.

Bidule and ReWire don't work over networks.  For VSL,  VE PRO is better than both Bidule and ReWire even in a single machine instance (IMHO) as it is a little more straightforward.
