Hey Martin,

Win 10, i9 9980xe 18 cores, 64 gb ram

Thanks!

Hey all,

Something isn't working for me to installing the update.  I click install the update and it downloads fine, then I click "install" and nothing happens.  VEP7 doesn't quit and nothing gets installed.  

Thoughts?

 

Thanks

Hey Guys,

Seems like it loads sometimes correctly and other times not.  Seems to either work or not in the same location. Channel 34.  Any thoughts of how to trouble shoot this?

 

Thanks

Hey Ben,

Thanks for the reply.  104.   That could contribute I guess but I did a little testing in my old box with Vepro 6 (opened a few times but that's it) and it seemed fine. 

It loads fine until hitting #34 which is where my percussion starts.  Just so I understand #34 coresponds extactly to my 34th instance in Vepro 6 right?

Hey all,

Just bought a new computer and having some serious teething issues after moving everything over from the old machine.  I was coming from a Win 7 machine running VEPro 5.  It was running great and loading a fairly heavy orchestral template in less than 5 mins.  I decided to upgrade everything and it's not running great.  The same template is taking 20 minutes or more if it even loads.  All my drives are SSD. I have tried some batch re-saving to see if that was the issue but it's not making a huge dent.  Any suggestions?  Is it a VEpro thing?  Before I migrated I opened 6 on the machine and it seemed to work fine.  Things that are different are:

Win 10 vs Win7?,

VEp Pro 6-7 vs 5?

Anybody have tips when trying to commision a new machine?  This machine should be crazy fast but it feels like I have updated for a serious downgrade.  

Thanks!

 

********* SOLVED********

It turns out is was WINDOWS 10 antivirus scanning the samples while Kontakt was loading.  I thought it was disabled.  After adding exceptions to all my sample drives and Kontakt file extentions.  Bingo!

Thanks folks.

Thanks Bill...I will bug Cakewalk about it.

Still trying to track down a drop out issue...do you run VEP Pro on the same machine as Sonar? If so what are your latency settings? Everything is mostly working but it feels like a limp, and I have a great box/Apollo Quad soundcard.

Hello,

The new update to X3c works a bit better with routing etc but the VST3 host still doesn't seem to act any different than the VST2 Host. The manual says you don't need to use a Vienna Ensemble Pro Event input to access more midi ports if using VST3, but I do..

Help??

Hey Guys,

I am trying to use VEP Pro inside X3 using Vst3 and I am a bit lost. I can route the midi fine but I can't seem to get the audio going on multiple outputs.. My typical setup is

Strings (16 midi and 2 audio outs into X3 (short and long)
Brass (16 midi 1 audio out into X3)
Winds (16 midi 1 aduio out into X3)
etc.....

Also occasionally I get a notification that "please close and re-start Kontakt after a sample rate change" when opening new project files in X3. Why? I have everything at 48k (my internal word clock in Apollo and X3. Can I have VEP pro always remain in 48k?

Last thing I have been getting audio drop outs in X3/Apollo and I am starting to think VEP could be part of the issue. What's the best latency setting for the daw? I sometime record guitar and would like to work at 128 samples if possible.

Thanks for reading my novel!

Hey Karel,

Hmm. I didn't manually move it but it does crash my system. Not sure why...Maybe it's my template? But I did get the Event Input working good! Many thanks for that.

Hey Karel,

I will check out the manual and thanks for the reply... If I load a Sonar x2 project that has VEP 4 it crashes and won't let me load. My work around is holding down the shift key and not loading VEP into the project and then deleting the old instance of VEP and creating a new one and re-linking everything... A big pain. Could it be that I installed v5 in a different place and Sonar is being fooled? What is the default location for v4? Maybe if I find it, I can delete. Many thanks!

Hey Gang,

Can someone confirm to me that I have to run a new instance of VEP for every 16 midi channels? I was happy on 4 and upgraded to 5 thinking that this midi port issue was worked around... I have wasted 1/2 a day of writing and now my sequences loaded on v4 won't work....for nothing it seems..

Am I out of luck until X2 supports VST 3?

Thanks

Tim

Hey Karel,

Thanks for the reply. I am running Kontakt inside of VEP. Do I still need to disable Kontakt's memory server? I haven't played with any settings inside of Kontakt.

Elektra...Currently I am not trying to run VEP over the network. I want to, but time is running out and I have tried a bunch of stuff without results. One tech told me to use a crossover cable to get multiple instance running over the network.

What about the audio engine settings? What's the best setting for threads when running on the same machine as your DAW? Does the number of audio ports per instance make a difference?

Thanks guys!

Hello,

I love the promise of VEP and if I could get it working the way I wanted. I haven't been able to get it working over the network so I ditched the idea (for now) and want to load 90% of my samples for orchestra on my Win 7 64bit machine/DAW.

I am using VEP as a VST plugin inside of Sonar 8.53. At first I was happy with the results but after building my template using it has been frustrating. Sonar is starting to have audio drop outs after about a minute of running. I am also having issues with whitenoise with instruments in Play. But Play isn't causing the dropouts.

I am trying to run 5 instances of VEP. It looks like this:
1. Strings/EW Choir (kontakt, Play)
2. Brass (kontakt, Play)
3. Winds (kontakt, Play)
4. Perc (kontakt, Play)
5. SFX (Kontakt)

Reverb is coming in a Bus through Sonar. I have 12 gigs of RAM and it's only using about 5 gigs.

It seems like it would work and then the audio drops out and distorts (digitally) for a few seconds and then it's fine for a bit...repeat.

Am I running too many instances on one machine? I have the RAM but is something with the threads causing processor issues? In the settings for VEP I put the number of threads to 2, correct? A post or a link that talks about the best way to run it in detail?

i7 930 @ 2.8ghz

Motu 424 with 2408

12 gigs of RAM

Nvidia Quadro NVS 440

If this works I want to buy this for our whole studio...

Thank you for any advice or suggestions. I appreciate it!

I have been getting some white noise off and on with Play..

I am using Sonar, Win 7. For me it's not 100% rock solid yet.

Hello...

It works for me. I am a new user and tried it and all seems fine. Testing now.

Hey DG...

I have the same question...

1. DPC latency is 36 and it says it's good to go.
2. Turned off windows 7 firewall completely and seemed to get better.
3. Fixed....See buffers...0, 1 and 2....Mine is set to 2

All I see in preferences is:
Audio Engine settings =4 and Audio ports = 16 per instance

Thanks for any suggestions! This looks sweet.
