Hi,
The latest update of MIR Pro 3D seems to have messed up the output presets. Any time I change the output preset to raw ambisonics (of any order) my DAW crashes. I've tested it several times in Nuendo (VST3), Logic Pro X (AU) and Ableton Live (both AU and VST3), and they all crashed every single time. This only happens with the raw ambisonics presets, any other change of presets I've tried worked flawlessly.
All the best, Ant贸nio
Hi Ant贸nio,
sorry to hear that you're facing problems. I was testing the raw Ambisonics Output Formats extensively, so there must a specific reason for these crashes on your system.
Please get in contact with support@vsl.co.at, with reference to this thread. Include as many details as possible (ideally you let the Vienna Assistent create a report), and please also include an exemplary project (preferably Nuendo) that exhibits the issue. I'm sure VSL's developers will sort out the problem quickly, :-)
TIA,
Thank you very much for the report!
Could it be that you are trying to set an ambisonics configuration (minimum channel count would be 4) to a channel with stereo configuration? This would explain why it missed our attention. This configuration doesn't make sense.
I am adding safeties for existing sessions with this wrong config and will make it impossible to choose an ambisonics configuration if the host channel's channel count is not enough.
In the meantime if you need to use raw ambisonics, please make sure to add the mir plug-in to a channel strip with enough output channels.
Best,
Konrad
Hi Dietz,
every time when MIR is starting up there is now a reminder, that an update is available, if the latest update is not installed. There is only a choice between "Remind me later" and "Install". Especially now it's too easy to click the wrong button and install an unwanted update as long as a known bug is under development. Wouldn't it be a good idea, to give the user the option, to switch this automatic update search off in the MIR preferences?
Hi Konrad,
I don't understand your proposed solution to it at all. I can do what I reported with every other surround/immersive preset, and I could do it in all previous versions of MIR Pro 3D. The only surround/immersive preset that doesn't work that way now is raw ambisonics.
As a side note, it seems entirely arbitrary to say that the minimum is 4 channels, especially given that it worked in every version before.
All the best, Ant贸nio
Hi Antonio!
Sorry for the confusion. Allow me to clarify and be more specific:
the bug also applies to multi-channel output tracks
I would expect the following for the current version: For an immersive format (say: 5.1.4) with a high enough channel count, order 1 and order 2 would not crash (because there, MIR can output 10 channels and it only needs 4/9). But third order (which requires 16) would crash. However, I would recommend to add MIR to a channel with the proper ambisonics configuration.
I hope this background info is useful and not too confusing :)
All the best and thank you again for pointing me to this bug!
Konrad
