    First off all....

    You´re terribly right... The VSL Libraries ARE addictive !!

    Got the Special Edition and it is some sort of sound-experience i never felt.

    So now.... i have to concede that i use it with fruity loops.... ups...ehhhr... but i see it as an example that you can use it ( the special edition to say ) with even a host that is maybe not designed for the VI but is capable to work with it.....

    I didn't even know Fruity Loops supported VST!

    Now I can't wait to get my copy of VI SE. Just placed my order for it and some other gear today [:D]

    I just ordered both the Standard and Extended Special Edition Vienna Instruments... and I got this e-mail from a B&H sales rep:

    Hi Raji,
     
    Regarding B&H Order # [...] for the Special Edition Extended Library, You only get a serial number for the Extended Library, in the attached pdf there is your serial number created for you by Ilio, you'll also find information where to download it,
     
    The rest of your order including the Special Edition Standard Library is shipping today,

    Sam Werzberger

    Is this correct?? How am I supposed to download gigabytes upon gigabytes of samples? [:s] Or does the serial number just unlock more of the DVDs contained in the Standad Library? I'm confused...

    i'm also a newbie (i plan to buy the Vienna Special Edition now) but here's the thing: Please note: Even if you licensed the Standard Library only, the Full Library of your Collection gets installed on your hard drive since Standard and Extended Library can’t be separated due to structural database requirements. That means that when you intall your Standard Special Edition library, the extended version also gets intalled, you can use it for 30 days as a DEMO, then you need to have a licence (like the one you have) to use it.

    ohhhhhh yeah!! Sorry I think I panicked when I saw that from B&H, which is a great vendor. I've bought from these guys many times before but this was the most unique purchasing experience with them so far. I do vaguely remember reading that on here a while back, thanks for clearing it up.

    I'm glad that i could help you!..i just ordered the VIENNA SPECIAL EDITION (Standard Library) a few minutes ago from Musicians Friend.. it will arrive to Chile on May 7th (my brother is bringing it, he's now in New York)...

    Just a little clarification. You get all the samples installed, but I think you get a number of loads before they stop working, instead of thirty days. This is all part of the VSL plan for world domination. This way you cannot help but become hooked on using the extended content, and then they cruelly take it away. I wasn't even going to use the extended content for the thirty days, because I didn't want to get used to something I couldn't keep. But, 1 year later, I still have all of the extended content. I guess I haven't loaded it enough for my trial period to be up.

    basically there are 2 types of demo licenses:

    demo mode #1 comes with every ViennaKey and allows 180 starts - this is primary intended to get users up and running in case they don't have an internet connection available (install library, ect)

    demo mode #2 is available on request from activate@vsl.co.at for the extended library of a specific collection (which must be registered) and is a date-license limited to 30 days after initialization.

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    Christian,

    You mentioned a workaround for PT LE on a PC. Can you point me to any instructions on how to do that? Also, I was sure I read somewhere that VI Ensemble 64b worked with PT LE Vista. Vienna sounds great stand alone, but as a plug in, it has a lot of static - like someone turned the volume up really loud. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Hello Steve,

    I may jump in here - PT on PC is not supported with the Vienna Instruments, sorry to say. One workaround would be to use the Vienna Instruments as a standalone instrument and then route the audio back to PT.

    It will definitely help to know a little more about your setup, your plans and your expectations!

    Best,

    Paul

    Using Vienna with audition would be like buying a ferrari and driving it with wal mart tires... Doesnt make much sense

    Bob, Audition IS a solid program.

    I alse have Logic pro 8 and sonar 7 but often I find Audition more essential and useful.

    If you play yourself the parts with Vienna Ensemble, you can record them with Audition Multitrack and get good results as well as using Logic, Sonar etc.

     And the Standard Edition is not the Ferrari of the Vienna libraries, maybe just a Lancia Thema Ferrari or a Fiat Dino Coupè...
