Dear Dave,

thank you for your quick response and good explaination. So I took another important step in using MIR and Sibelius. But there is a new problem.

I did everything as you told me, but each time if I try to play my configuration, I get the following error message from loop be 30:

Do not connect midi out and midi in within one single application. It seems that there is a shortcut on port one.

What can I do and what is midi in and out in this situation

Thanks in advance for your help

regards Timo

Be patient - you'll get there.

If Mir is using your sound card then Sibelius can't. If you haven't got it install "Asio4All" Then in Sibelius playback devices audio engine options choose asio4all as the interface.

Then in LoopBe make sure "Enable Shortcut Detection" in not ticked and that none of the active ports are muted.

That should work.

Almost there[:)]

(Thanks a lot for supporting a fellow user, David! [Y])

Hallo everyone,

David, you help me a lot. Little by little the sound develops in the right way......

actually I can connect the two programs and if I give Sibelius a note, I can hear a sound. But there seems to be something like a back coupling and overmodulation. Than it comes to a terrible noise and I am not able to stop neither the Sibelius playback nor MIR, so I have to restart the computer. I tried to solve the problem several times on my own, but i failed.. unfortunately I have no error message..

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with a not even gifted beginner...

Have a nice evening

Timo

Timo,

hmmm! Sounds like some sort of loopback thing going on very similar to a problem I recently had. In sibelius under "file", "preferences" and "input devices" make sure all of the LoopBe30 internal devices are not checked.

 Wow,

as you can imagine from the first word, I (or better you) solve the problem. What a sound! Thanks a lot David without you I would still sit here and ask myselfe what I did wrong. ...

So Thank You again for this really good and quick support!

Great to hear that, Timo.

And just to make it clear once again - David is a fellow user who generously offered his support. He just happened to be always faster than me giving the proper replies, so all I could have written would have been "Yes, he's right!" ;-)

Kind regards,

Just giving back to the community what it's given to me over the years. That's what these forums are all about after all.

Perhaps you need to get out of bed earlier Dietz[:P]

Dave

If you can face giving a little more advice.....

How are you rendering the audio from MIR?

Steve

I use audacity - works well for me - the only thing is if you accidentaly make a windows system noise whilst your rendering it gets recorded. I'm sure I could resolve that by disabling all windows system noises but I've been too lazy to get to grips with that yet.

Cheers Dave
