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

PLease see my post here:

This is exactly the same problem I am having.  There is more detail on my post listed above.

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.

@Cyril said:

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

Just tried, and works great (see my signature).

Hello Paul

It is very strange that it is working for you and not for me

When I want to update my signature I go in User area > profile > community

I paste the two lines

Click on save

And I return to Company > News> product new

May be my profile  is damaged, can you have a look ?

Cyril

two things i hoped for are still not there:

a deconnect function in the server window. (today logic crashed after working 1h - I guess because of Play in Logic. then I had the problem that VE didnt see Logic crashing and everything was still connected so I couldnt reconnect it to logic. I had to reboot the machine - took 1/2 hour[:@]) pleeeaaase take care for that problem!!!!

the other thing is that i would like to able to drag and drop viframes into the server window. it was working with single viframes before and i asked to do it with multiple viframes - not it doesnt work at all.[:)]

Thanks

I am having these issues as well.  Both features would be great.

Hi DanJo and dlpmusic,

we´ll do our best to add the features, but it´s not as easy as it seems ("just add a button..."). The same is true for the drag and drop of viframes, there akways needs to be quite some logic implemented behind these features.

As you know, our development team is obsessed with perfection and they´ll do their best to improve VE PRO, it´s just a matter of time.

I´m also sorry that your sequencers crash that regularily, I have to say that this happens to me maybe twice a year (and of course when I´m doing some live presentation - murphy´s law..... and the worst part: It´s always my fault).

We´ll see what we can do!

Best,

Paul
