Hi Paul ,
I have also sent my screenshot to support@vsl.co.at
183,156 users have contributed to 42,279 threads and 254,996 posts.
In the past 24 hours, we have 5 new thread(s), 14 new post(s) and 59 new user(s).
I have a solution on this that worked for me.
I upgraded to VE Pro Version 5.3.13151 - but I was launching Vienna Ensemble Pro Server (64 Bit) from the dock.
Somehow, the dock icon seemed to be launching an older version of VE Pro Server, rendering the 64-bit Server and the Interface incompatible.
(You can check this by typing 127.0.0.1 into the Interface's SLAVE field, as suggested by Paul and reading the warning that comes up).
Solution - I went to the new 5.3.13151 version in my Apps folder, opened VE Pro Server from there and - hey presto!
I dragged the icon from the updated folder to the dock and now the correct versions are all launched.
Hope this helps - it works fine for me now.
It has taken a while, but what solved my issue (see above) was to disable Little Snitch, and Norton Firewall. Little Snitch I found wasn't configurable to let the VEP server connect with Logic, and the Norton Firewall was picking up the connection attempts as "suspicious activity", therefore blocking them. Strangely, though, even after registering all the attempts as "trustworthy" it still didn't work, so I have disabled the Norton Firewall and enabled the OSX firewall which doesn't seem to have a problem.
Hi Paul,
I am experiencing the same problem too with my VEP 5. I just bought a VEP 5 and planning to operate it with a Mac slave.
Below is my specs for both MACs:
1.Mac spec for DAW: OS X 10.9.3, Processor 2x 3.46 GHz- Core Intel Xeon, memory 64 Gb 1333 MHz DD3
2. Mac spec for Slave: OS X 10.9.3, Processor 2.8 GHz- Quad Core Intel Xeon , 32 Gb
Using VEP Version 5.3.13407 in both Macs
Both Macs connected via LAN Cable with switcher and able to connect to internet.
Below is the screenshot.
Hey!
I have the same problem. I cannot connect to my VEP5 server on my slave. BUT if I open an old project it will trigger the instances on the slave and everything is open. But I can't start anything new. Problem is in Pro Tools AND DP8. Everything on the last update. I don't have the problem with an instance on my MacBook, where the DAWs are running, only on the Slave, but the connection is ok (otherwise it could not trigger the old ones?) Don't understand this issue :/
Best regards
Michael
Hi,
Which network settings are you using?
You should definitely use static IP addresses, and avoid 169.x.x.x addresses (these are automatically assigned by your computer and tend to change).
Please do the following:
Take screenshots of your existing network settings, just to be safe.
Then, manually assign one of these IP addresses to the computers in your setup: 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x, and assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then it should work.
If it does not, send screenshots of your network settings to support@vsl.co.at, we´ll try to help you asap. Network support is basically not part of our tech support (just to have said it), things can get quite complex, depending on your environment, knowledge and expectations...
Best,
Paul
THX! I just read it in another comment, sorry for the stupid question :/ I don't understand it, because I just set it up month ago (!) with another line from you and it worked all well till last week! Don#t understand it. Thank you!
Yes! Now it doesn't load the old ones, but I can reset them with my template :)
I'm not getting any available instances showing in Vienna Ensemble pro 5. I have I have tried using my IPaddress and also 127.0.0.1 in the slave field and have also left it blank.I do have both of them opened the Server interface and also the Pro 64 bit. Any help would be appreciated. My DAW is Pro Tools 11 OS mac Yosemite
Thanks,
Vic
Hi Paul,
Thanks for getting back with me. I’m a little confused with what you’re saying. I have , Vienna Ensemble Pro (64 bit) and also Vienna Ensemble (64 bit). (See att. picture of all my Vienna icons in a folder) Which one of these is considered Vienna Ensemble Service? Which of these should I open first before I connect to my DAW?
Thanks again,
Vic
I've had this problem on VEP 6 since the beginning. I just put in address 127.0.0.1 manually to make it work. I haven't used it across computers yet. VEP 6.0.16502
Would you be so kind to share a little more about your setup?OS, firewalls, AV programs, additional "safety "programs like "Little Snitch" (anything that could block network communication in any way)?
Just the Mac OS firewall is turned on. Mac OS 10.11.6 No virus checkers or other safety programs.
Oh my. I simply had to click "Advertise on local network".
Sorry about that. My bad.
It works now.
