Ok so if I can't do it all in sibelius on one machine (yet) then does this work?
Sibelius on XP32 bit machine (Intel Quad Core 4GB) sends midi to MIR on W7 64 bit machine (i7 extreme - 12 GB DDR3) which sends audio back to sibelius machine where it is mixed in Sonar 8 on XP 32 bit machine.
Is that likely to work?
Any idea what size of ensemble that may manage?
(I've repeated this message here cos I suspect the likes of CM & DG don't visit the notation forum.)
I thought Sibelius was a CPU hog. I thought that even an i7 extreme with 12GBs wouldn't cope with much more than a chamber ensemble. So wouldn't doing it all on one machine limit even further what can go thru MIR.
If MIR is the final mixing solution and only recording the result is left why on earth doesn't MIR do the recording as well?
Other people have mentioned they are routing the ouptut from MIR into a sequencer for furher mixing?
If I can't record the output in MIR and Sonar is overkill where do I record the output?
Thanks for your help DG

I think that the problem with Sibelius is that it seems to lump everything onto one core. I don't find it to be a CPU hog at all though. On my system it uses around 4%, according to Task Manager.
There is no reason that you have to do everything on one machine, but you could always test it out.
I agree about your recording point. There are many little apps that will record from a bus, or even from your soundcard output.
As far as mixing in Sonar, you can't really do that, because there is currently only one output in MIR. You would have to export stems, but that would be pretty much pointless for your purposes, because it would sound exactly the same as if you had just recorded the output of MIR.

In order to use both Siblius 6 and MIR in a workflow I do this:
Make a Sibelius score.
Save it as MIDI file (using the same output instruments option)
Open Sonar, import the MIDI file
open MIR with the same instruments as Sibelius
with a MIDI cable loop (hardware) or loopbe (software) I connect sonar to MIR
start playing SONAR
that's all with just 1 PC and it works very well
If somebody knows a better way please tell me.
