Dear
MIR
users,
I'm
very happy about the release of Teldex Studio Berlin for Vienna
MIR.
This most recent addition to our RoomPack
2 – Studios & Soundstages
offers the ideal acoustic environment for all kinds of contemporary
orchestral music production.
Taking
the opportunity, I would like to share my personal "orchestral
starting points" for this prestigious soundstage with you. One
is a full-blown setup with 80 Vienna
Instruments
for large symphonic arrangements. The second one is meant to be used
with smaller ensembles; it uses 32 Vienna Instruments, which make it
a good choice for MIR
SE
users, too.
Both
presets are based on examples of typical orchestral recording
sessions supplied by the highly experienced, award-winning Teldex
Studio staff themselves. All Icons are pre-positioned, levelled,
labeled and assigned to Groups. Many of them make use of MIR's
unique Character Presets.
None
of the Vienna
Instruments
has any sample data loaded, though. This is done on purpose:
Personally, I tend to look at these presets as an orchestra which has
already taken seat, but no scores yet on the music stands in front of
them. Depending on the task at hand I individually load selected
Matrices into the Vienna
Instruments
I’m planning to use.
The
beauty of this is that loading times are kept at a bare minimum. RAM
usage is no issue either, as the number of loaded samples is totally
scalable depending on the system's capabilites. Apart from that these
presets can be used with a diverse set of VSL products, be it Special
Edition,
Download Libraries or DVD, Standard or Extended content.
In
other words – every MIR
user is empowered to generate his own personal orchestral starting
points from these two basic setups.
Of
course, these presets don't pretend to be an "instant mix".
Like me, you will always find yourself changing some volume settings
here, adding a plug-in there, or moving one instrument to the other
side, just because it fits better to a certain arrangement. It's also
worth mentioning that I decided to stick to the smaller Boesendorfer
Imperial grand piano instead of the much more elaborated Vienna
Imperial, mostly in order to avoid any "Missing Instrument"
messages for those users who don't own the latter yet.
I
hope you’ll enjoy making music in this wonderful virtual hall as
much as I do.
Yours
sincerly,
Herb
Tucmandl – Founder and Managing Director, VSL
