Hi again! Sorry to be going on about this :) I tried out the suggestion from FredB, unfortunatly this workaround turned out to be impractical. The reason for this is that when you assign an instrument output to a bus, it will lose it's settings when the bus is deleted. The idea was to let busses hold the MIR Pro plugin, then saving "Channel sets" for groups of busses, to be able to load different seating/volum/effect configurations within VE Pro. The problem is that you would manually have to reassign every single output of all the instruments to the busses, each time you load a new channel set, which is way to impractical.
It would be great to have some input from some of the developers here, is this something that can be done, either in existing or future versions of VEP/MIR?
I can't be the only one wanting a more flexible solution to this. For orchestral setups, this isn't a huge issue. But when using large templates with alot of other instruments, it is a real hassle not being able to quickly recall different instrument placements within MIR, or settings such as volume and panning.
My template is running on one computer, and is still expanding. It is now using about 60gb ram. I use 3 VE Pro instances: "Orchestra", "Studio Instruments" and "Synths". The "orchestra" instance is pretty much set, and doesn't often require me having to move around the instruments or change settings all the time. But in "Studio Instruments", I constantly have to reconfigure seatings/volum/panning within VEP/MIR, depending on what the current project/song requires.
Now I cannot find a good way to make this work when switching projects (which is one of the major advantages with VEP). Ofcourse I can save my Cubase project, and have VEP load "incoming project data", BUT, this requires the whole instance having to reload every instrument and every sample each time you switch project. And it goes without saying that this takes alot of time. In the "Synth" instance I can "load incoming project data" to reconfigure this instance, because it doesn't require VEP to reload 30 gb of samples, and thus it is almost no load time. Is there any way we can save/load channel/mir settings without having to reload all the samples? I have looked into the "channel set/preset" feature, but I can't figure out a good workaround using these.
So; Is there a some functionality to VEP I am missing, or does there exist some kind of clever workaround? If not - Is this something you could work on for future versions of VE Pro? As I see it, there is no practical way of achieving what I'm asking, every workaround requires either to much load time or to much hassle if you quickly have to change projects.
Thank you!
