MIRx venue problem

[jornkyd]

After shift to iLOK the MIRx venue sounds awful in Vienna Instruments Pro in my DAW.

Standalone version is OK

Welcome Jornkyd.

sorry to hear you're facing problems. A few more technical details would help us to solve the issue (OS, host, software versions, ....), as well as a description of the "awful sound" you're experiencing.

TIA,

[jornkyd]

Thank you for your reply

I am working on macOS Big Sur (11.6.4)

My DAW is Cubase 12 PRO

I have Vienna Special Edition 1

When activating MIRx Berlin TeldexStudio I get a "buzzing" sound only, and the Cubase audio performance meter goes "crazy" (peaks to max)

Again, no problem in standalone version of Vienna Instruments Pro.

Thanks for the info. What is the sampling-rate you're working in, which audio-hardware do you use for playback, and what are its latency-settings? Is VST Guard activated in Cubase?

[jornkyd]

Sample rate is 44.100 kHz

My audio hardware: Focusrite, Scarlett 2i2 USB

VST Asio Guard is activated

I have always had my buffer size set to 128, which gives latency about 4.6

I have tried to set buffer size to 1024, which gives a latency of 26.5, Instruments Pro is better then.

But before the switch to iLOK there were no problems using Vienna Instruments Pro with the buffer size set to 128.

That's interesting. I'll make sure that VSL's developers take note of the issue.

VSL's development tried to reproduce the issue, but without comparable results. Still there will be an update soon that might optimise MIRx' behaviour with iLok-based copy protection. Please take note of the respective info in VSL's newsletter.

Kind regards,
