Hello to the big familiy of music and samples

I thank you so much for visiting 10000 times my tutorials "How to use VSL"!

http://www.beat-kaufmann.com/Rosenstrauss.jpg">

I will go on. While listening to
......... the most asked questions in this forum
........................the number of tutorials will increase
......... of course outside the VSL tutorials.

Next possible themes:

[list:b2d12c9ccb] - MIDI and VI (analogous Midi and VSL)

- Audio Effects, like Compressor, Multicompressor, Limiter, Exiter, ...
...How do they work, parameters, what are they used for(examples)

- ...? [/list:u:b2d12c9ccb]

i hope to god VSL has given you the whole VI set .. if not , they should !! [:D]

Fact 1
The problem is, that you need a "good" organisation of all the used
keyswitches with the new Vienna Instrument.

Fact 2
You played a melody with the VI-trumpet. Later on you prefer to play
the melody with a flute. The question is: "Which keyswitches did I
used for the trumpet?"

The frustration
Perhaps you have lost the notes about all your trumpet keyswitch settings.
Starting at square one again. What a pitty!

The Solution
I have created general - equal -presets for all instruments.
They contain the most used samples which (more or less) are
available from every instrument (also ensembles).
And further: For each group of instruments I added the most
typical common additions.
So you will find portatos with the strings or repetitions with the
woodwinds.

With the VI-basic-presets...
Play a melody with the Oboe and change the instrument after it...
Transpose the melody for the Viola or the Cello ...

Listen to this example:
Instrument Exchange Oboe, Chamber Violins, Flute, Solo Viola, Solo Cello, Bassoon Ensemble, All.

You will have nothing more to do than to change the instrument by
choosing the corresponding Basic-Organisation-Preset for the instrument
you prefer... [:D]

All the best

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you. In Logic Pro, I am unfamiliar with "monoize". You explained how to do it in Cubase, but I'm in Logic. Once I've "monoized", I understand how to move that new entity around to form a symphony.

Hey Violinnoel.

I may be able to help you hear cos Beat already told me about this. In Logic, open up the Dir Mix plugin (Direction mixer). With this you can set Panning and stereo width.

After Beat explained some of this to me, for my own album mixing, I prepared a mix chart (On my website), that holds some quick reference notes for Logic users .. you may find it useful. If you look at the Dir Mix plugins I show you the stereo widths that I use .. and relative pannings.

Monoizing is just reducing stereo width to better locate your instruments. IE I keep my flutes in Half mono .. or 0.5 stereo. Beat had suggested to me that full mono is not a very good thing to do in a full orchestra cos it ruins some of the qualities of the instrument. Sorry if you already knew that, but I'm just covering it in case.

Take a look at the Mix chart if your curious about how I use the "Monoizing" techniques with Dir Mix. You'll see that I run the Dir Mix plugs over my main busses on the mix console.

it's at www.elvenmusic.com/vsl/vsl.html ... scroll down until you see the mix chart pic. Then you can download the PDF.

Hope that helps.
