  • MIR looks spectacular, but how can I use it?

    I've downloaded the demo, and it looks and sounds amazing, but my setup makes it unuseable. I can't be alone in having a main PC (32-bit Win XP) running Cubase, with a slave pc (64-bit win 7) networked running VE Pro. It seems that MIR replaces VE Pro, as VI Pro sits within MIR, but there is no networking with MIR, so how can I use it? At the moment I have a MIDI cable in the PC running MIR and that's how I am trying it, but to be useable it has to be slaved from the main DAW PC, and it seems I need to have a multiple port MIDI interface on both PC's and audio link from one PC to the other, it all seems a step down from VE Pro, or am I missing something here. Maybe networking for MIR would be the answer. How is everyone using MIR with a DAW? I really would like to use it, but it just won't fit in for me.

    Welcome Andyjh,

    Thanks for your interest in Vienna MIR.

    The most obvious solution for your setup is to send MIDI over a single network cable, using utilities like MOL ("MIDI over LAN") or ipMIDI. The scenario is the one described in detail as "Typical Setup 1 – Vienna MIR on a dedicated computer" on page 71 in MIR's manual. The manual is available as free download.

    That said, a enhanced version of MIR (for now called MIR Pro) is planned to be ready 2011. Amongst other great new features (and OSX-compatibility) it will bring the networking features of VEPro to MIR.

    HTH,
