Like Alex, who made some good questions for the technically challenged like me - if you're running a Mac with say Logic, presumably you can link a stand alone PC to this easily to make MIR work? Is this right?
And will MIR be really for orchestral work only - or like Altiverb, be usable for any sound application, ie is it really a dedicated reverb for VSL samples only?
Is there going to be a ram issue with this because it's a PC platform?
Please elucidate. [:D]
I'll try to elucidate ;-D
Yes, your assumption is right that you should be able to link from Logic to the MIR-engine, for example. This is one of our main issues at the moment.
I can't say if the MIR is "only" for orchestral work - but yes, it is meant to be used to its full extent with our samples only, as they will be "known" by the MIR: its engine will be able to choose the proper (and unique) settings to process them. This is especially important for positioning-cues and the directivity of the instruments themselves, as well as other, more sophisticated sonic aspects.
Of course, you will be able to feed _any_ signal into the MIR to a certain amount, but it's obvious that in this case the MIR will react more or less like an "ordinary", first-class convolution reverb (although still with more elaborated positioning options) and audio-mixer.
... please understand that I can't (and won't) give you a preliminary manual, so to speak. Later this year many related questions will be answered, and the concept will be much clearer then. Thank you.
