1.  Establish a metafile.  Tried to load and all that shows is the server window.  The VE-PRO Window does not come up and the activity monitor is not showing any memory increase activity.

Rebooted.....

2.  Loaded VE 64 Server followed by loading the program.  After about 3 minutes I got the infamous White box and everything hung.

3.  Pulled boh Steinberg and Vienna dongles before machine would reboot.

Karel,

This morning I started by trying to start the Metafile and left it sit for 25 minutes before I returned.  It appears to be working but I do have a question.

In the past, after the sever started the VE Interface would display followed by the turning bars in a circle and the statement that it was loading.  Now the interface doesn't show up and there is no indication that anything is happening.

Is this by design or is it a bug?  Please advise.....

I've just fixed the showing for next release.

Thanks Karel.

I'm really starting to like working with VSL again especially now on the Mac Platform.  One thing that I personally would really like to see is a way to save each channel strip setup in VE-PRO.  A lot of time is spent tweeking the parameters for each instrument (i.e. pan, reverb mix, effects, etc.) that to be able to save that setup for use in a  new template would allow a great starting place plus improve over-all work flow and efficiency.  

Sonar, Cubase and Logic I know for sure has this setup feature and it would be a real plus to have this available in VE-PRO, especially if one is mixing in VE.  I'm not sure how much work is involved to doing so, nor am I aware of any of the other users feeling about having this feature,  but I would really appreciate having it be considered in a future release.  Thanks again for your consideration.

Are you saying that I would have to save each individual channel strip in it's own VE-Pro template?  Then if I wanted to add to my existing template a previously configured single instruments,  I would merge my existing template with the one that has a single instrument in it?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does "public beta" mean for VSL? From what I understand Beta is when its not an "official" release yet, but users are able to download it to report any bugs that will be fixed on the official release. Is this true with how VSL runs public betas? If so, will users be notified when the release is no longer "public beta?" 

Also, I know PPC macs are not officially supported, so I'm always weary about updating to new versions when the current version is working well enough to use. If/when that time comes that PPC's no longer work at all with VE pro, is it possible that this information will be in the release notes so we know not to install it?

Thanks again VSL team for being so receptive with VE Pro. Its a MONSTER of a program that will truly revolutionize the way we work with sample libraries! I know it must be a lot of effort making sure its compatible with all sorts of 3rd party / computer OS's, and I for one just want to say how much I appreciate the extra work! In fact, I've been telling all my composer friends about VE pro, many of which have now made it their first VSL purchase! 

Hi Jon,

thanks for your kind words - we are doing our best to improve VE PRO every day!

Public Betas: There are so many possible combinations with 3rd party plug-ins, that we figured, a public beta is the fastest way to get your input and to provide you with the next update - asap. A new build is already in the works, and of course the naming of the "public beta" will be changed as soon as a release is "official".

In any case, even public betas have been thoroughly tested before, and you can always downgrade, if you like.

Regarding PCC: We will do our best to keep VE PRO compatible. If that doesn´t work for any reason, it will be mentioned in the changelog, of course. Also, if a build doesn´t work on PPC, it will most probably simply not install. 

Best,

Paul

Hi Paul

The 2 little problems I have report are still there :

- Flashing screen when VE pro is loading

- I have to rebuild the directory each time I run VE pro otherwise VE do not find the samples

Thanks in advance for correcting them

Cyril

I forgot to say : Your programmer are doing a great job

CONGRATULATIONS

Hi Cyril, 

I´m sorry we have not fixed the 2 issues you are having, yet. We simply have to improve VE PRO step by step, and we have to set priorities.

I was not aware of the second bug - and I haven´t heard any other reports about this, I have to say. Anybody else having problems with this??

Now I could scan your many mails again to find out more about your current setup, but it would be great if you could take the time to add these details either in your signature or simply copy the essentials into your post.

Important: OS, Sequencer + version, RAM, soundcard + driver version, Computer specs

Thanks, 

Paul

P.S. I have read another post recently of another person having the same problem

in the Directory Manager my raid 0 is called "VSL RAID 4" (it was 1 a few days ago) instead to be called "VSL RAID" 

Do you want I send you screen copy

Hi Cyril,

I think your signature is too long, I´d cut it down to:

MacPro 3GHz 8 core, 16 GB RAM

Logic Studio 3, PCI 424+24i+2408MKII+1296+2408 MKII

We are looking at all problems reported in our forums, of course.

I´m a bit confused. What does "(it was 1 a few days ago)" mean? Yes, screenshots will be helful, one after you have just assigned the folder in the DM, then one after a restart, where it is renamed. A screenshot of your Finder will also be helpful!

Best,

Paul

Hi Paul

Thanks for your answer.

I have tried only the 2 lines :

MacPro 3GHz 8 core, 16 GB RAM

Logic Studio 3, PCI 424+24i+2408MKII+1296+2408 MKII

It does not work

For : > in the Directory Manager my raid 0 is called "VSL RAID 4" (it was 1 a few days ago) instead to be called "VSL RAID"

When I started to use my raid, in directory manager the raid was called "VSL RAID 1" and it went to "VSL RAID 2".....

This problem look like it is a general problem on my MAC[:@]

Final Cut Pro had the same problem yesterday[:@]

I have repaired the permissions and this morning it is loading OK[:D]

Let's keep our finger crossed [:)]

Thanks

Best
