    Got my USB key in the mail (didn't come with a box, just the key). I believe I entered all the licenses in the eLicenser Control Centre. Now what? I don't see VSL in either Garageband or Logic Pro 8. - Macbook Pro, purchased in 2009 - Mac OS X 10.5.8 - 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - Garageband '08 - Version 4.1.2

    Hi Rot,

    I have checked your account, and so far I cannot find any registrations of Vienna Instruments Collections - only Vienna Instruments PRO, which is "just" a sample player.

    You should still be able to see VI PRO as a player in your sequencer, but there will be no content, if you have no VI Collections installed and registered.

    You can also contact us with more details at , if you like. If you have an additional registration, please let me know as well, so that we can merge your accounts!

    Best,

    You mean I bought the wrong goddamn product? I want to use VSL instruments in Garageband. What's the exact name of the product I need to buy.

    Hi Rot,

    We have many products available. What would you like to do / what do your expect from your VI Collection? What is your current setup and your budget?

    If you are looking for a great comprehensive tool for virtual orchestrations, you should check out the Special Editions.

    We also offer more detailed DVD Collections, but they also have a price tag that should be considered.

    Alternatively, you can check out our Single Instruments Downloads as well, but I believe that the Special Editions will work out best for you.

    Here is a link to the Special Edition Video Tutorials.

    Best,

    Paul

    I want to use VSL instruments in Garageband. I don't want any auxiliary software, sequencers, mixers, etc. I only want the instruments. In other words, all I want is to bring up the piano roll and hear it play VSL instruments.

     Yes, but you have to decide which instruments you want. There is a huge choice. Unless you tell us what sounds you are interested in, we can't give you advice about which products to buy.

    I think these "Special Edition" packages are what I'm looking for. These contain the voices, and I don't need anything else?

    Hello Rot,

    the Special Editions contain a whole symphonic setup. There are quite a few additional instruments available, but these are much more spezialized.

    You also get our sample player, Vienna Instruments, with each VSL product automatically, so you only need a nice reverb additionally (I´m sure that Garage Band offers a reverb).

    Best,

    If you mean "Samples" or "Patches" or "Instruments" when you say "Voices" then you are right. If you mean Human voices: the special edition does not contain the Vienna Choir nor the Soprano Choir.

    VSL instruments can only be accessed via one of the VSL's sample players - VI or VI PRO. If you have purchased VI PRO, you already have the "auxilliary software". After you have purchased a library of your choice, you will be able to access its instruments via VI PRO or VI loaded as an AU-Instrument (for Mac users, I believe) in your host. (Or you use the sample players stand-alone.)
