Christian,
It gets worse: I deleted the 2.0 AU for VE2 and reinstalled VE3, rebooted, etc., but when I launch logic the 2.0.0 Vienna Ensemble is still listed there. When I check the Library>Audio>Components>Plugins folders, there are NO Vienna Ensemble audio units at all.
So my problem is twofold: the AU for VE3 didn't install, and my 2 macs won't connect through VE3. Help!
Kerry
ok - maybe a good idea: please make sure your finder's preferences are set to *show file extensions*
- isn't there a possibility to remove Vienna Ensemble within the AU manager? (sorry, no mac here currently)
- if still available in /applications/Vienna Ensemble/ run *viennaUninstall*
- delete Vienna Ensemble receipts (.pkg) from /library/receipts/
- if existing delete -com.vsl.appPresets.plist from /library/preferences
- eventually search with finder if any *ensemble* files are around elsewhere and delete them
- empty trash, reboot
- re-install the latest Vienna Ensemble 3 software
- repair permissins
now we should find VE3 in the AU manager, possibly needing validation.
i'll cover the network in a separate reply, christian
Hi guys,
If anyone has VE3 running in a Mac-to-Mac setup, and if you had to adjust some numbers on a port setting somewhere, would you mind posting what you did to make it work, including where on the Mac you set ports to certain numbers, and what numbers those were? With all firewalls down, and a working ethernet connection between my Intel Mac and my G5 (10.4.11) my Network shows the computer present via the ethernet, but when I launch VEService on the slave, and VE3 on the master, the master doesn't seek&find the slave. Any input welcome!
Kerry
hi kerry - have you managed to get the VE3 showing up as expected in AU manager?
the network (please give us a detailed view of all involved components, connected cables, WLAN, router, ect ...)
for the beginning i'm assuming both computers have 2 network ports, one computer is connected to the internet and no WLAN (WiFi) is in the game. for clarity maybe scribble the situation for yourself (like MacPro left + right, G5 left + right network port)
network utility also tells you the used IP addresses for each network port, either if you use zero-config, DHCP or fixed IPs.
think of your network connection as an external one (for internet) and an internal (connecting VE3).
probably we have to assign IP addresses manually for your internal network from a range that does not collide with your external network.
christian (you should have my email in case you don't want to post details here)
Hey Christian -- I'll post here, the info may help someone else too.
I uninstalled VE entirely (including manual search of any ensemble AU's or components) and re-installed after repairing permissions, rebooting, etc., as you recommended in the previous email. I reinstalled VE3, launched Logic, and Logic's AU Manager still shows version 2.0.0 of VE, although at least it validates this time. I don't know of any way to flush out or manually remove an AU from the AU Manager, so for now it still shows 2.0.0.
No WiFi involved: master is connected to the internet, and the second ethernet port connects to the slave. I have tried the ethernet cable on both ports of the slave, and it shows up in my NETWORK menu either way.
Network Utility gives me IP addresses for both ethernet ports. I have tried pinging the slave, and it responds/receives. I haven't changed any kind of network settings -- everything is as it was when I set up the new mac. Same with slave: I never changed network settings on it, as the ethernet port to the internet was the only use for ethernet on the now-slave machine.
So I think the next question is: where do I go, specifically, to assign an IP address (on each computer) and what settings do I need to change to get them to see each other?
Kerry
kerry, for the VE2/VE3 issue i have asked marnix to provede help since he has macs on his desk ...
solving network issues without knowing IP addresses (and the other settings like router and dns) for each port and the exact cabeling is not possible. a computer showing up in network does say nothing about the route and the protocol the packets are using.
i need something like this (what should work btw):
MacPro external 192.168.1.2, mask: 255.255.255.0, router 192.168.1.1, dns: a.b.c.d (we don't care about which dns is used) - cable connected to router
MacPro internal: 192.168.2.2, mask 255.255.255.0, router: none, dns: none - cable connected to G5 internal
G5 internal: 192.168.2.3, mask 255.255.255.0, router: none, dns: none - cable connected to MacPro internal
G5 external: cable not connected
in case your MacPro external is using DHCP leave it as it is, just make sure the internal ports don't use the same range as the external port(s) ...
an allowed classC range for internal network is 192.168.x y where 0 <= x <= 254 and needs to be the same on both *ends of the cable*, and 1 <= y <= 254 and needs to be different an both *ends of the cable*, subnet mask has always to be 255.255.255.0

I think thereĀ“s a basic misunderstanding in the communication here. The AU manager in Logic shows the version of the Vienna Ensemble 3 AU plug-in, which is in fact version 2.0.0
The version number of the Vienna Ensemble Software appears for e.g, in the Vienna Ensemble Service window (it should be "Vienna Ensemble Service v.3.0 build 3670"). You can also select the icon of the Vienna Enseble standalone and press "command+i" to get an information window with this information.
Besides this it is also possible to de-select (and disable) AU plug inĀ“s in LogicĀ“s AU Manager.
/Regards
If any kind soul happens to be passing through the forums and you're able to provide instructions on what I need to set (and where) on my master and slave macs, that would be great. Christian's information is 2 posts above, but I'm afraid it's all greek to me: I don't know my internal from my external, I just know that I have 2 macs with no apparent conflicts between them, and the master won't recognize the VE3 service on the slave.
Open to suggestions!
Kerry
I can't get VE3 running -- I have a very simple setup, which is a new 8-core Mac connected to my old dual quad-core G5 via ethernet cable, but I don't understand all this network lingo about how to make VE3 work. So far I'm batting zero.
I need to hire someone to come over and set it up for me. I'm in Manhattan, UWS.
Help!

FIXED!!! It was a question of network settings, which are completely arcane to me, but Christian and Marnix had a straightforward how-to guide that got me up and running in just a few minutes.

Kerry, I was away from the forum for a few days so I missed your message. Glad to hear that you have fixed your problem. I'm located in Manhasset, Long Island and would be glad to come in to NYC to try to help you out if you ever have any other issues.
Cheers,
