Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
Checked on El Capitan, with different sequencers, everything working as expected.
All of you are working with MIR PRO in VE PRO, is that correct?
Could you send a song that shows this behaviour as a zip file to support@vsl.co.at? I´ll take another look. Please include the used software versions (DAW, VE PRO, VI PRO, MIR PRO).
Best,
Paul
I'm running MIR Pro as a plugin directly in Cubase, not in VE Pro. Isn't that how you run MIR as a plugin? Will try to send file.

Seems the issue is more complex. I've been having a huge downtime after making my Mac Pro a VEP slave and switching for a iMac 27 for Cubase. I've posted about this in the Cubase forums but from the tests this morning this really seems related to MIR and the plugin loading issue. Please bear with me because this is a bit long, I've done thorough testing.
Mac Pro running VEP (latest), using my regular template. iMac running Cubase (8.0.35), also using my regular template only this time connecting remotely. MIR is loaded in Cubase, as inserts on channels coming back from VEP.
It seems that Cubase & MIR, together, are somehow trashing my RME Fireface UC driver. This has *never* happened on the Mac Pro but I've narrowed it down to MIR, it seems. The following is repeatable my system. RME Fireface is set as output both in System Prefrences and in Cubase.
At least I've discovered I can get some work done by quitting & power cycling the interface but this is very, very annoying. The template I'm using has been sent to VSL Support on February 23rd (attachment is called VEP v12 24fps.cpr.zip).
*Please* help. Thanks.
More doubts being lifted following this simple test:
I hope this helps you track down the problem.
Thanks.
EDIT : Most definitely confirmed by trying the following (twice):
In case it's still unclear, when I say "no sound" in 8 it doesn't mean "no sound from MIR", it means "no sound from Cubase", even when playing Zebra...
So it seems to me that, in addition to the problem mentioned in the original post, on the iMac 27 MIR is actually disabling audio output altogether on my audio interface, when launched for the first time.
[...] So it seems to me that, in addition to the problem mentioned in the original post, on the iMac 27 MIR is actually disabling audio output altogether on my audio interface, when launched for the first time.
Just for testing purposes, to rule out some variables: Does this also happen when you switch to other audio hardware and drivers (e.g. the built-in audio device of your iMac)?
I tried a couple of times. Launching Cubase with the built-in audio driver allows me to open my regular template (with MIR as usually set up) and play audio without any problems, although MIR still doesn't load the plugin states the first time it's launched.
I also tried launching the regular Cubase template with MIR by choosing the RME driver, then, after witnessing again that audio output has been disabled, switching to built-in audio again and then back to RME, hoping to have the driver reactivated somehow. This didn't help. The only way I found of resetting the audio output to normal was by power-cycling the RME interface itself.
The Mac was rebooted before each test (thankfully these new machines reboot in less than 10 seconds!)
I hope this helps.
Paul, Dietz, some more info to help with the hunt. After further testing and investigation I now start to think that the two issues (MIR not loading the plugin info and the audio disappearing from my RME interface) *might* be unrelated.
MIR not loading the plugin info is consistent and repeatable, I have no doubts about that.
However, it seems that there might be an issue with the way the iMac's USB3 ports handle USB2 devices, e.g. RME's interface (or even an iLok key). I've posted about it in the RME forum and others have desribed weird issues as well.
As of now, I can open Cubase sessions with MIR loaded. I have to do it twice, of course, because of the bug originally described. When the audio disappears, I power cycle the RME while Cubase is running. Cubase complains and switches to Built-In Audio. I then switch back to RME and can work again.
Looks like two distinct bugs now. I hope this helps.
Sorry - hadn't realised this thread was being updated.
I'm running Mir as a plugin in ProTools (NOT within VE Pro) and seeing the issues described every time I load my ProTools session. I have now discovered that I can get Mir working by shutting it down (whilst leaving ProTools open) and then restarting Mir standalone. When I do this, ProTools seems to connect to Mir and Mir loads the correct venue and Instrument settings.

Hi Talino, Jon Klein and Trailerman,
This bug is finally fixed! I just sent you a preview of the software we will upload later on, via mail!
Looking forward to your feedback!!
Best,
Paul
Paul - when will the update be available?
Thanks.
