  • [SOLVED] MIR: No sound

     I've downloaded the MIR demo, but can't get any sound out of it.

    License was downloaded to my dongle just fine, and MIR boots just fine.

    (I am just booting MIR for this example, that is, I am not booting both Cubase 4 and MIR at the same time.)

    In MIR, under Options->Audio Settings, I make my choices.

    Then I click Instrument->Add Instrument, and add a Kontakt 3 instance.

    In the Kontakt 3 instance, I select a trumpet patch.

    Now, when I play my MIDI-keyboard, I can see that the note "reaches" the Kontakt instance.

    I can also see that there is a reaction two places inside MIR when I play the keyboard.

    However no sound comes out.

    Can anyone see what is wrong?

    Best,

    Henrik

    PS. I have downloaded and installed LoopBe1, but can't get it to work with Cubase 4 and MIR being open at the same time.

    Henrik, did you actually start the MIR engine (the "START"-button on the top)? Is the Icon that controls your Kontakt-instance placed within the valid area of the stage (click "HOTSPOTS" below the Main View to see them highlighted). Did you actally install the RoomPack and load a Venue? Maybe the Instrument volume and / or the main output volum is set too low to be heard? 

    Is there any activity shown in the Main Output Meters?

    When using MIR and Cubase on the same machine, it is important that your ASIO-hardware is multi-client capable, and that the two applications don't try to access the same physical outputs.

    Let me know how you proceed! All the best,

    Some more helps

    - increase the Roomnoise (output) do you here any more noise?

    - do you have 4 Outputs with your sound card?

      It seems that you have MIR and Cubase on the same Computer. Try to manage the Outputs that way that MIR doesn't take the same Output Channels as Cubase...

      If you don't have more than two outputs you can deactivate the outputs of Cubase for the case of "MIR" or try to separat Cubase on an other PC (Laptop?) and play MIR from this other "station"...

    Good luck

    I had not loaded the RoomPack; that was the problem.

    It works fine now playing the keyboard and then listening to the output of MIR.

    Very interesting to test!

    Thanks for the help so far.

    I have yet to try with Cubase and MIR booted at the same time (my soundcard do have 4 outputs), but that is for later. Right now I am busy listening to how MIR "sounds" with various instruments of the orchestra. Next I will try and compare the sound I can get with MIR to what I can get when using my existing setup (convolution reverb + an algorithm-based reverb VST)

    Best,

    Henrik, don't forget to take a look into the manual, especially to get the idea how MIR "thinks". Once you understood the basic idea, everything else is selfexplanatory.

    Kind regards,
