    Hi to the Forum,

    I am going to try the MIR SE, and also the VI PRO,

    but, in regard to the MIR SE,  I am worried about one of the projects I have and about if I can solve this problem.

    I have a piece that uses a solo instrument, but, due to me revising the original score that uses Vienna Instruments, as I decided for a couple of small sections, to revise the score by putting part of the solo part also on another midi track, so, when I mix down to audio, I just have both tracks with the solo instrument mixed into the same audio channel.

    Now, can I do this in MIR SE? that is, have two viennna instruments both going into the same position on the virtual stage?

    thanks if someone can explain if this can or can't be done.

    best,

    Steve.

    I can't conform MIR SE, but with the demo version of full MIR (which you could always try out) you can sit as many players on each others laps as you like.....!

    Thanks for your interest in Vienna MIR, Steve.

    As DG pointed out before, there are no restraints for positioning Instrument Icons on a MIR stage - within the boarders of the area were we actually gathered the impulse responses, of course :-) ... this is called "HotSpots" in MIR-lingo. If your piece asks for it, you could put all instruments on a single spot, while still maintaining all individual processing options for each one. This means one can be a flute heading forward, while a second one could be solo violin turnede to the right.

    We have even built-in the option to hide chosen Icons form a stage, to keep things from being visually overwhelming, and the option to selectively group several Icon's to make them controllable by a single mouse-click.

    Feel free to use the 30-days demo period of Vienna MIR to gather first-hand experiences, and don't forget that you can download the MIR manual for free whenever you want to.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Dietz and DG,

    thank you both for your responses. That's really good news about the answer you have both given me for this.

    I am really looking forward to trying MIR out. Now I finally have the computer I wanted - 64 bit, Windows 7, i7 processor, and 12 gigs of ram, things that I was not able to do before are now open to me. I can still add RAM, I think it is up to 24 gigs I can have on this computer, so that means later on, if I want to go the full MIR, well, the door is open to me in regard to the computer specifications for the full MIR version.

    It's really very exciting, and to be honest, to think that I would actually be able to use something so sophisticated as MIR on my own computer, is quite mind blowing and kind of humbling also.

    I feel pretty excited now I have a good selection of VSL libraries, so this will be really great to try MIR out with them, and also the VI Pro Player which I have just downloaded.

    thanks again Dietz and DG for your help with this.

    best regards,

    Steve[:D]

    You're welcome!

    Re "humbling" ... don't let the knowledge about the technical frenzy that's going on underneath MIR's hood undermine the joy about the playability of this application. Allow yourself some time to get used to the new feeling that a mix just "happens", without too much effort  - almost like sitting in a Hall in Real Life :-)

    Kind regards,

    Hi Dietz,

    thanks for your reply. Actually, maybe I should have used the phrase "in awe of" in regard to MIR. I am really looking forward to trying it out of course though!

    thanks and best,

    Steve!
