    A quick question and sorry if it has been answered before...

    Does MIR works with Vienna instruments only or also with other VSTis?

    Thks,

    Iván

     

     Like DG wrote - right now MIR is hosting VIs and Vienna Imperial only. 3rd party VSTi hosting and audio input is planned for MIR Pro.

    The Mac-version is NOT just around the corner. It`s development depends on factors not under our control (i.e. Apples`s marketing- and product strategies). As by now, there`s no chance to run MIR on a Mac, which means that we can`t even _start_ with its development for this platform. We will do so as soon as we see light at the end of the tunnel, but please don`t hold your breath! 8-)

    Thanks Dietz for that fast reply !

    OK ! i will have to go to the dark side of the force ( PC )  [6] to use MIR

    having a PC just for reverb sound good to me ...

    Actually it's not just a reverb. It will host all your VSL samples, and you will find that not only is the OS a proper 64bit OS, much faster than  a Mac Pro, but it is also more suited for streaming samples, especially at low latencies. there is no down side on this one.

    To me the really groundbreaking thing about MIR is that it creates real depth in terms of instrument positioning....You really get a 3D impression of an orchestra playing, if you move around an instrument on the stage in a MIR setting, it will not only move left or right in terms of speaker position, but you hear distances change... hard to describe.... but the stunning thing is complete realism of the actual change of timbre you get when moving around an istrument on the virtual stage...

    It is just amazing....

    MIR is used instead of VE standalone. It hosts VIs, VST effects, and outputs the final mix.

    the DARK FORCE is shining pretty bright at the moment with W7 and for me (who doesn't care about aqua or aero or any of those other whistles and bells obstructing the surfaces) there is just a minimal difference left between both worlds.

     

    on the contrary: currently i'm finding it much easier to get a downsized and reliable 64bit working horse out of a windows system at ~30% less money (say based on a 8-core nehalem 2.66 24 GB RAM), of course some learning curve left for those not already familiar with the respective other system.

    Ok Guys, MIR's workflow is totally different from what I expected, and it's gonna cost much more, but I'm gonna end up buying it anyway. I am not very well knowledged in graphics cards stuff. Can someone guide me a little here please? The other components are quite clear, but I am a little confused on what type of features should the graphics card must have for a smooth performance. thanks

    no black magic with the grafic card - just don't use an outdated model ... every PCEe x16 model (say ATI 1950 or better, every nvidia 9000 series) ... IMO the only question is if to get a passive (cooled) one or not ...

    Are there any minimum or recomended requirements though? Regarding the GPU clock speed and memory?

    @cm said:

    You mean if the card has an onboard cooling fan or something?

    I'm checking this one out;

    nice card, supports directX10 + openGL 2.1 (as needed), available with 256 or 512 MB RAM - one of our betatesters has it too.

    use latest geforce drivers though (not windows built-in)

    Congrats to VSL on the newborn (to us. I guess MIR is already five years old to you.)

    Is MIR feasible on an Intel Mac running Boot Camp / Parallels with Windows 7 software?

    :-) Thanks!

    Actually it`s (almost) new-born to us, too, but then we should call it "Version 3" rather than V.1 ... 8-]

    One of the Beta testers had MIR running and working on Bootcamp and reported ok-ish results. (Ron, would you please recapitulate your findings ...? TIA!)

    hearing distance change..this what i am lookinf for audio-post , mixing dialog,FX,ambiance or foley with MIR sound great and on the

    top we always need to mix musicians stems so MIR would be a great tool but the post world use mainly ProTools on a Mac so it would

    be a good move to target that big market !
