Hi again!

Makes perfect sense now, thanks for your help Andi!

Cheers from Spain!

Ok thanks! So since I haven't downloaded anything yet, my best choice is to download the optimised content and use the Strings I expression maps, right?

By the way, are there many "useless" switches? I'm thinking about editing the Strings I expression maps to remove any switches with no effect.

Thanks again!

Hi there!

Recently I bought Synchron String I and Synchron Strings Pro. I didn't install the content yet since I have some doubts: I would like to install only the optimised content (as I own both libraries) but I can't find expression maps for this optimised content anywhere.

Did I miss anything? Where can I find expression maps for the optimised content? And, if these expression maps aren't available yet, when will they become available?

Thanks in advance!

I could send the backup project I keep, since it is based on the legacy version. Now that I'm on Mir 3D I can't create an example project with the legacy version. So if it suits you, I'll send my backup mix project. Sure you'll receive the typical notifications about missing files and plugins, and especially within these ones you'll see the one related to Mir Pro.

Ok, will do!

Thanks again!

Hi all!

So I finally took the plunge and updated. First I uninstalled legacy Mir Pro, then downloaded & installed the new one. Once it finished, I just opened my Pro Tools project and it opened with an error.

The problem was the mono-to-stereo version I was using in four tracks: for some reason, Pro Tools said that plugin wasn't available any longer. So I had to reconfigure these four tracks I was using in mono-to-stereo legacy plug-in version by using the new mono-to-stereo plug-in version.

In the end it was a little annoying having to reconfigure these tracks, so I can't say it has been a painless update, but apart from that, the whole update process has been way easier and quicker than expected.

Now playing with all the new features... and regarding that: what main mic should we, stereo mixers, choose in order to get out the most in our projects? First guess: Mir 3D downmix?

In relation to CPU impact, I'm having similar results using Mir 3D downmix as the main mic.

Can't wait for the tutorial videos, thanks again! 

Hi all!

I'm in the middle of mixing an album using only VSL libraries and MIR Pro. Since the 3D version appeared I've been following this forum to get as much information as possible regarding the update process and old project compatibility.

My mix project is a stereo one on latest Pro Tools Studio over macOS Big Sur. The project contains rendered wav files from every individual instrument in the orchestra imported on individual tracks (totaling around 80 stereo tracks, plus aux send&returns and busses). Each track has a MIR Pro plugin instance to add reverb. In my opinion it is a big project and as you can see, it is highly dependent on MIR Pro.

So in order to benefit from the intro pricing, I bought the update some days ago. Needless to say, I want to use the new version, but I'm still "scared" about the update process. Given that I've read different update stories with different degree/amount of success/quirks along the way, I would like to ask this:

- Is there an official update process?

- Should I first uninstall the legacy version?

- Should I just install the new version over the previous one?

- Pro Tools has the "Unused plug-ins" folder. Is it a good idea (or necessary) to move the legacy version to this folder?

Once solved these questions and updated, I'm also doubtful about the difference in sound that I can expect (without making any changes to settings). Can we, nervous updaters, assume that (once we update to the new version) our old projects will open and sound "the same" if we just open and hit play? (I mean, without changing any parameter in settings).

And yet another question: what are the differences on CPU impact? Is this new version more CPU hungry? I'm using an 8700K with 32Gb of RAM.

Sorry for the long post full of questions and fears jeejeej! I can't wait to read your update stories and advice.

Thanks in advance!

Great!

It would also be fantastic if we could choose the network card to use also in the server side. Gemini suggested the option to choose a network card to use in the plugin side, but I believe this same functionality would be great in the server.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Bump! Anyone?

Hi!

In this thread (https://vsl.co.at/community/posts/t39295-Forcing-VEP-plugin-to-use-a-specific-network-card#post236116) appears a screen capture in which there's an option in plugin's preferences to force using a specific network interface.

My problem is that I cannot find this option anywhere... Is it specific to a certain plugin format (AAX, VST or whatever) ?

Is there any other way to specify the use of a certain network card?

I'm using latest versions, the slave is Win8 based and the master is Yosemite based.

 

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot !

I will try it and post the results...

Hi !

I'm trying to avoid the phase problem with 2nd violins since I own Special Edition only. From your post, everything makes sense to me but I have some doubts:



This step has to be done in my sequencer, in the corresponding MIDI track. Am I right ?



Here is my problem. Where do I apply the pitch bend change ? I am not sure about this...

Thanks for your support and Happy New Year to everyone !

Can't wait !!!

Hi !

Please sign me in for beta testing. Thanks in advance !

Hi !

I recently bought the Special Edition Libraries and I would like to know if these are compatible with VI PRO 2. I mean if I can do the things appearing in the tutorial videos (repetitions, polyphonic legato, humanize...) with just the Special Edition Libraries.

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for your quick replies but I still have a doubt...

Now I own three eLicensers, each with its own license (I bought VEPRO 4 in June, so 3 licenses were included). So if I update to VEPRO 5, will I have 3 separate eLicensers containing VEPRO 4 and 5 licenses ?

Thanks again folks !

Hi !

I believe the subject of my post is pretty explanatory. I'm thinking about updating to VEPRO5 but I want to make sure first what will happen with my previous license.

Just to avoid surprises... anyone knows ?

Thanks in advance !
