  • :-D ... this template includes _all_ Vienna Instruments for MIRx preset creation. It was never meant to be used with all instruments playing at the same time. But as long as Vienna Instruments are set to open without any samples loaded, this setup won't make any recent machine sweat (... provided there's enough RAM for all the pre-rendered IRs, of course).

    By today's measures, my MIR development DAW is a below-average i7 based machine from late 2012 with 32 GB RAM. I did stress-tests with about 190 instruments playing inside MIR Pro in stereo setups without drop-outs, and about 90 in a 5.1 setup (using Windows 7 64-bit as OS). Latency was set to very high values for both the RME audio system as well as MIR itself. Modern machine will outplay these results easily, I assume.

    Hi Dietz! I'm messing around with a similar setup, images like this are always helpful. Would you be willing to share your prefered microphone settings for the setup seen in the screenshot. And perhaps more screenshots of instrument placements if you are feeling generous😉

    Kind regards

    11. If run in VEP and I have 40 instances, will all instruments still be seen in ththe stage map, or only if used in a daw as a plugin?

    Hi Betuel,

    sorry for the slightly delayed reply, but I didn't find the time to gather the data you're asking for during the week. Here comes the MIR Pro Engine Settings file of the unfinished (i.e. broken) MIRx setup of Synchron Stage Vienna. The more detailed screenshots will follow!

    Kind regards,

    Wow, thank you so much! It sure does. I love MIR so much and how different settings can really change the sound. Thanks again for taking the time.

    Warm regards

  • Thanks, Dietz. This is awesome! :)

    When does the offical MIRx extension come? It's such a long time... I don't understand. 


  • Hi Dietz,

    these settings are for the narrow view. Did you make presets for the wide view, too?

    Which microphones should be used in the wide view? What's your recommendations? I think the Room EQs are the same for both narrow and wide view, right?

    Thanks.


  • Yes, I made settings for the "wide" orientation, too. I can't look them up at the moment, though, because I'm in a studio in another city right now. Thanks for your understanding!

  • Sounds good. Looking forward to these.

    No problem! Have a nice time.


  • Hi Dietz,

    just a nice little reminder. Do you have something for me? :) But, no stress.

    Hi all (and especially Pixelpoet, of course 😉 ...),

    here comes a ZIP with the MIR Pro Engine Settings for Synchron Stage Wide, quite similar to the setup I use for the "synchronisation" of Vienna Instruments. All you have to do is to un-zip the data and load the settings from File > Vienna MIR Pro > Open (in case of VE Pro), or just File > Open from the main window of MIR Pro's plug-in version.

    You'll see my Main and Secondary Mic setup (including Volume Offset, Reverberation Time settings and Global Dry/Wet Offset) as well as about 30 RoomEQ settings, organized similar to MIRx settings. I added the RoomEQ I specifically used for Dimension Strings, too.

    Just keep in mind that much of an instrument's sound in MIR come from its position and Character EQ (a.k.a. "PreEQ"). I can't supply the settings for the latter as it relies on an EQ with several special features that has been built for in-house use only.

    HTH,

    Just out of curiosity, what is the special in-house feature you have, if you are allowed to disclose that information?
