Oh, is it going to be Windows only? I thought it would be both platforms?Things may have changed, but originally it was planned for Windows only. there were various reasons stated for this, so a search may give you the answers. Maybe Dietz will confirm whether or not a Windows only release is still Plan A.

The most recent version of the MIR-engine allows for OSX compatibilty, too (... yes, we _do_ listen ;-) ...). But please don't take this as an official announcement yet - things are sometimes very difficult to predict, as far as Apple's product policy is concerned.

I assume that it still needs its own computer though?

😉 it is good to hear the OSX is considered - it is always better to work with a platform one feels convenient to use - even if the app needs a separate computer anyways 😊 best@Dietz said:

basically you replied to yourself .... however one would still need a very good machine and as you know VI/VE is not very CPU intensive ...@DG said:

I've been thinking a lot about MIR. I really like the idea, although at this point I have no idea whether it would work well for me, or not. The other thing is that unless I install at least 2 MADI cards on both systems, it would need to run across a network, which introduces a lot of latency. therefore it could only be used when mixing; not when any programming has to be done. Unless there is even more to this than meets the eye. Oooo.............. All this speculation. Deliciousssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Regarding VI/VE being CPU intensive, I never have a problem with running out of CPU in any project. However, the ASIO block does suffer dramatically when VE is in the picture. One can even see the CPU meter in both Nuendo and VE jumping up and down like a demented banshee. As soon as I hit "play" the situation gets worse, until I hit the most complex part of the piece, when a few pops and clicks happen. At this point the CPU is usually not even up to 60%, but the ASIO Performance Meter is overloading. Hmmmmmm. Topic for another thread I think. feel free to move it.
