  • loading and saving in the manual

    Hello,

    First I have to say, that now that I have VE Pro and VI Pro working in the latest version I am impressed with how nice everything works (and sounds!).

    Amazing how everything works with this ethernet connection, really brilliant.

    Thank you!

    I have a suggestion anyway: maybe it is a good idea to have a seperate chapter in the manual of VE Pro about loading and saving.

    I feel it is still rather complicated to find my way in the loading and saving options of instances, channels, projects, viframes, coupled or decoupled, preserved or not etc.There are so many possibilities that it is also easy to do things in the wrong way.

    I have to say the video of VE Pro is not too much help here, because I feel that is mostly aimed at selling the software to people who did not yet buy it.

    Greetings,

    Gerard

    yes! Isn't that fantastic? 😊

    Fortunately, for a newcomer to VE Pro, many of the obstacles that required using some of the techniques have been solved (for instance, the decouple setting was a MUST USE for protools users with Kontakt4 until just recently - now we can have that disabled if we want).

    There are some very good posts in the forum about workflow techniques -- some of them from me being just as critical (and asking the same questions) starting in April 2010. But to search the forum, you best use Google.

    There are also some fantastic threads on the DUC for protools users -- lots of experienced users contributing useful information on applying VEPro within protools.

    The documentation today is much, much, MUCH better than in April 2010 when I bought into this. Thanks to Paul! I would start there and understand what each parameter does -- then post specific questions if that is not obvious -- questions related to YOUR workflow. Since each of us has different needs, the power and flexibility that VE Pro gives us is part of its value to me. A composer who uses the same template for every cue has a vastly different workflow than the guy who builds it on a per-cue basis, as needed for each song or cue.

    You WILL find your best workflow -- just try a few variations out and see what works for you. The forum will answer your questions -- but since there are more than a few ways to "best" do file management, it's very dependent on YOUR workflow and how you want/need to use your VIs. So let us know how you like to work, and I can assure you that VE pro is probably has the flexibility to service your needs. And don't forget to search the forum using google -- many of the answers and questions have already been discussed by experts.

    Good luck.

  • Saving is now indeed reliable in Pro Tools with Kontakt 4 in a VE Pro Server instance. Also the saving times have been significantly reduced in general for both AU and RTAS. Saving times should be halved for AU and only 2/3rd of the original saving time for RTAS. I'm glad you like it too.


  •  Nonetheless it seems a good idea to have all this information systematically ordened in future manuals.
