First and foremost you will have to decide which Venue is the proper one. Given the fact that you seemingly have to rely on RoomPack 1 (Vienna Konzerthaus) only, I would suggest to give "Neuer Saal" a try, because I think you're aiming for a quite dry and controlled bigband sound and not the classical orchestral hall. Use Main Microphone Position 1 with a configuration that fits your needs, maybe adding a few dB from a Secondary Microphone Position in the center of the hall and proceed from there.

Make sure that the format of the Main Microphone setup is the one you're actually aiming for (5.1 surround, if I read your question correctly?) - otherwise the result wont be the desired one.

BTW: The perfect choice would be "ORF Funkhaus Studio 3" from MIR RoomPack 2 - Studios & Soundstages: This marvellous hall has been built in the 1950ies especially for the (back then) so popular jazz bigbands. :-)

Kind regards,

Your licence for RoomPack one includes the Venue "Neuer Saal". If you don't see it in your Venue Selection dialog window, then clearly something went wrong with the installation.

... have you already seen the video tutorial this site offers for MIR Pro users?

And "dB" is the common abbreviation for Dezi-Bel, which is a measure for volume. What I meant to say is "add a bit of the Secondary Microphone, according to taste". -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

Hi,

I see the Venue "Neuer Saal", BUT MIRx and Veneu preset are disabled?! ... is it normal? ... 

thanks

Like I wrote above: MIRx presets (which are "ready-mades" for each and every Vienna Instrument) are only available for four selected Venues: Vienna Konzerthaus Großer Saal, Vienna Konzerthaus Mozartsaal, Teldex Studio Berlin, The Sage Gateshead Hall One.

For all other Venues there are suggested starting points for Main and Secondary Microphone, Room EQ and the like (this is what we call "Venue Preset"), but no detailed settings for indivdual instruments (... which MIRx is all about).

Kind regards,
