    Hi Nicholas!

    You're not the only one who feels disappointed when opening the Vienna box.You press the button and play and you think: "Is this it?". So the question is: Is Vienna better than the library that comes with Sibelius?

    The answer is: Oh yes, the Vienna Library it is like a miracle!

    It takes a while to learn how to make it sound great, but it is really worth the effort.

    Best, Pekay.

    Yeah, you guys are right...just a little impatience on my part. I thought it would be a seamless transition, but I messed with the articulations and I got a quintet sounding amazingly good, how can I put reverb on it now (for free)?
    Also, I noticed my laptop lagging (and its pretty darn fast) what specs do you guy use? here are mine:
    Windows XP SP3
    Sibelius 6.2.0.88
    Vienna Instruments SE
    Intel® Core™2 Duo T7700 2.4GHz Processor w/4MB L2 Cache - 800MHz FSB
    1GB (1 SODIMM) * CORSAIR * DDR2/667 Memory
    120GB SATA 3GB/s Seagate Momentus 7200.2 Hard Drive at 7,200 RPM
    I partitioned the drive to 20gb for the OS and 100gb for storage (I have all my samples running on the 100gb partition)
    I am thinking of dropping some major change and buying an Asus Intel i7 Quad core with all the bells and whistles (2nd hard drive, 8gb RAM, etc) so I can get VSL running like a champ

    Hi Nicholas!

    You could load any freeware reverb VST plugin with Vienna Ensemble. Just do an internet search. If you want to have a good reverb, I recommend checking out our Vienna Suite. It is a plugin bundle with nine advanced, yet easy to use plug-ins for mixing and mastering. You can find more info and get a free demo version at the following location:
    http://vsl.co.at/en/211/497/1686/1673/115.htm

    You will get to the limits of your notebook pretty quickly. 1 GB RAM is just enough for small arrangements. Upgrading to the configuration with the i7 CPU and 8 GB RAM would surely be a good idea. ;-)

    I just got an i7 Quad core with 12gb of RAM, wow it smokes. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Can't wait to start arranging some larger ensembles with VSL now! What are the limits of the demo version for Vienna Suite? I need some reverb quickly...

    Hello Nicholas!

    The demo version of Vienna Suite can be used without any limitations for 30 days. It comes with 64-bit and 32-bit versions of all plugins.

    As Sibelius is a 32-bit application, you can load 32-bit VST plugins directly in Sibelius. You can also use the 32-bit Vienna Ensemble Service and will be able to load 32-bit plugins in your VE instances then. Be aware, that you'll be limited to 2 GB RAM with VE 32-bit.

    Best,

    I am running the 64-bit version of Sibelius with the VST Roomworks reverb from Steinburg's Cubase. I put the .dll into Sibelius->VSTPlugins and set the path to the VSTPlugins in Sibelius to that folder. Then when you reload go to Playback Configuratuion->Plugins and select it and SHOW. (VE Pro also ghas a reverb which is nice.) Mark

    I think that the marketing department at Sibelius has been doing "creative wording" to make their product sound better. One of the reasons I bought it was I wanted the 64-bit version for my quad core computer. The disc itself does not say anything, but it defaulted to installing in the the 32-bit folder and not the 64-bit program files folder. It appears that all they did was ensure that the 32-bit version would run in the 64-bit environment. Then they marketed as a 32 and 64-bit versions. At least Cubase 5 gives you that chance to load the 64-bit version. Whether they actaully wrote a 64-bit version, or just tweeked 32-bit code is something I am starting to wonder about. Mark

    Sibelius being 32-bit would also explain why all the 32-b-t .dll programs I put into the Sib->VST folder worked. Mark
