    Hi all,

    I'm using VE Pro 7 and Cubase 13 for an orchestral setup. Using hundreds of tracks in Cubase and several instances (mostly Kontakt 7) in VEP7.

    I'm currently optimising performance and I came across this function in the Preferences. The manual states:

    Enable MIDI for muted channels is a great help when you are running into streaming troubles, e.g., with multi-microphone setups, while composing. When deactivated, the channel will NOT receive MIDI information, therefore no samples will be streamed.

    I would like to understand this better. In particular what is meant by "channels" here.
    Are these midi channels or audio channels.
    And second question: does this only relate to channels in VEP Pro or also in the DAW?

    Further explaining my questions: if I mute a midi track in cubase, would I gain performance? Or would this only work, if a bus in ve pro is muted.

    Thanks a lot and kind regards

    Hi! Which manual are you referring to? Do you have a direct link to the passage? Talking about multi-mic recordings, I assume it's the Synchron Players (including Piano, Harp, Organ). If you disable a mic position channel inside the player mixer, it is no longer processed. Best, Andreas

    Hi Andreas,
    thanks for your reply. I assumed that it would be related exlusively to Synchron Players, not mid or audio channels in general.


    Here's a link to the VEP 7 manual:
    https://www.vsl.info/en/manuals/vep7/vep-preferences
    You'll find the section under "Instances Preferences", just under the screenshot, second line:

    Enable MIDI for muted channels is a great help when you are running into streaming troubles, e.g., with multi-microphone setups, while composing. When deactivated, the channel will NOT receive MIDI information, therefore no samples will be streamed.
