    Hello all,

    Couple of things...

    (1) I had EWQLPianos playing just fine last night on my slave PC Vista 64 bit and no major problems except the initial missing plug in screen.

    (2) I'm also running a mac laptop slave (Intel 2.0 ghz with 2 gig ram - Snow Leopard)  and I'm not using a sound card, just the built in apple sound card.  Is this a bad idea?  I did have some problems last night running Reaktor (Native Instruments) as the sound after a while would crackle and then the sound would not stop, I had to close the channel to get it to stop.  So... can I use the built in apple sound card or should I use a firewire audio interface like a motu 828 (which I have an extra of)?  

    Thanks for including the older macs in this software!  That was a big help.

    I am currently using my internal soundcard because there is no driver for my studio card yet for Snow Leopard and it performs like a champ.  I have used the internal card many times over the years.  Apple did a great job with that internal sound card.  However, if you have an extra Motu you might like that better for latency etc.  I would try both and see the results.  For me, I didn't see much difference in performace but I got lots of additional control through the mixer software that my external came with.  It made channel routing simplistic compared to internal routing.

    Either way they will both work.

    To finish up my posts from earlier. So far everything works! (Except the minor bug about not being to use plugin inputs 13/14) Play runs fine in VE Pro slave machine. The crash in Pro Tools mentioned ealrier has been resolved. No more crashes. Everything's butter! This is what I'm talkin about! Woo Hoo.

    Everything seems to work Perfectly here.

    Still I wonder, In my host mixer i'm getting two band of audio output for each pair. So instead of having say 1-2 has a one stereo band, i'm getting 1 and 1.5 on two bands. this is really crowding up my mixer (double all the bands).

    Sorry for the lack of proper terminology btw. But is there anyway of setting up something to have stereo band back. (My usual VSL ensemble gave my one stereo band for every two output).

    Just wondering..

    I knew it was'nt the Proper term. I'm guessing Strips is better then Band. Here i'll show you instead

    There. with multiple instance running it really crowd the place up.

    Yeah, STEREO Pairs. Sorry. [:$]

    In fact 1.5 is Mono (left channel) and 1 is strereo, but only play right Channel.

    a bit off topic.. but i'm about the buy ensemble pro, but i don't have my dongle near (and don't know the serial of it), so do i get a mail with activation codes which i can use when i get back in the studio?

    Yes, you get the licence code emailed to you which you can then put onto your dongle(s).

    Which host software is this?

     that's the very vintage V-stack 1.2

    I'm using it thru Overture, since Overture have VERY limited VST mixing ability. Also because i need to use Altiverb 32bit over the 64bit VE.

    Why, does cubase and the other host give you single Stereo strips?

     I also get the same problem with Cubase Le 1.0.7.

    2 strips, One strereo (for right channel only) and one Mono (for left channel) For every single Stereo pair I enable.

    I see in the PDF manual some picture of a Cubase mixer with reasonable "One strip for one stereo pair" assigment. Look like cubase 4 or 5. Is my softwares hosts (Cubase le 1.07 or V-stack 1.2) are just to Old to display VE pro stereo outputs decently?[*-)]

    Yanick, yes, I guess it is about time to upgrade...
