hello Dietz, I was wondering if the current student discounts will also be available for mir pro. Or will mir pro be delayed another month because of the new discounts-month? all the best, Nils

Sorry Nils - I somehow missed your questione (most likely because Paul was so fast with his answer 8-) ...)

Believe me, we don't deliberately delay any release of any software, just to avoid a discount phase ... quite the contrary. If you plan to get MIR Pro, but still want to make use of the student discounts, I would suggest to get VE Pro4  and Vienna MIR for the reduced price now. Both products will be taken into account when upgrading to VE Pro 5 and MIR Pro.

Kind regards,

Kind regards,

Dietz, I've been asked this question by a few students, so it could be good to clarify that when buying MIR Pro, it is cheaper to:

1. For existing VE Pro customers, buy regular MIR now, and upgrade both software when VEP5 and MIR Pro are released.
2. For customers with neither, buy VEP4 and MIR now, and upgrade both software when VEP5 and MIR Pro are released

 Hi DG,

everybody who has already a VE PRO and a MIR license will get MIR PRO for free.

Hmmmm. What if I have MIR SE.  Is it worth me upgrading to MIR Pro from SE,  and buying  VE Pro now using the teacher discount?

Thanks for the reply Herb. However, it is still not clear to me whether this means that buying VEP4 and MIR now means that both VEP5 and MIR Pro will be free.

May I suggest that you (meaning VSL, not you presonally....!) create a new sticky thread, with all the possible options, including student discounts, so that when all the hundreds of questions get asked on this forum, we only have to point the OP to the link. It sure will save my typing fingers. [;)]

But what about those with VE PRO and MIR SE????  Do we have to upgrade to the full MIR program now to get the Student/teacher discount, and then get our 'free' upgrade when the new product is released?  If so, how do I get the 'upgrade' price from MIR SE to MIR - the price does not show properly in the basket - just the full MIR price?

Also - if I buy VE Pro now will I get the 'new' VE pro for 'free' too- you have only mentioned getting MIR free?  This just needs some clarification I think

Thanks

Hi Willy,

I hope you didn't missunderstood my psoting

You will need a VE PRO & MIR license to get MIR PRO for free (including a free VE PRO 5 update).

Dietz, that is very good news.  Does this mean that the upgrade price from MIR SE > MIR, will remain the same for MIR SE > MIR Pro?

If MIR PRO has everything VEP5 does... then what's the point of having a separate product? I realize that some people don't want MIR (or can't afford it) and still want VEP5- but why would anyone buy both? Is there literaly no feature in VE5 that MIR PRO will not have? I'm just a bit confused on that point.

-Sean

P.S. While the MIR price has been voiced... ISH... any 'ish range' of what VE5 will be?

There is literally no feature in VE Pro that MIR Pro does not have - simply because MIR Pro is a mighty, additional application which happens to completely rely on VE Pro's capabilites for communication with the outside world. :-)

Look at it that way: VE Pro is the host. MIR Pro is a big (very big) "meta-plugin" that can be instatiated inside this host exclusively. MIR Pro is no "separate product", but an additional one. An extension.

HTH,

WHEN???!!! :D

It depends how far the corner is [;)]

Hopefully the corner is just around the corner.

I have no idea if there will be Epic Orchestra for VE Pro 5, but you could always get VE Pro 4 now and upgrade to 5 as soon as it will be available. I'm sure that the upgrade fee won't be considerably higher than the actual price difference.

Quesiton: I thought I read somewhere that like AMD, Intel is also going to be pushing a graphics dye or something similar for better GPU results. I also read somewhere about convolution and using a graphics card for it (although that was some time ago and I've only seen that mention the one time).

So if utilizing such new designs, would MIR be able to lower the system load? I realize that it is already, but I mean for even big projects, etc. If not, what is tasking the system on large projects to much? I'm trying not to ask for too complicated of an answer. If it helps, my two main concerns are... 1) will these things help MIR? 2) If not, what do I need to look for in future cpu's that will influence MIR's task on the system the most? Although the first question is my nerdyness asking... I ask the other because I'm going to be changing my setup to accomodate MIR better before I eventually buy it. I just want to make the best decisions possible.

Thanks,

Sean

P.S. Thanks in advance if this is answered... I don't mean to bother anyone at VSL as it's certainly a busy time there... I am in no hurry to have this answered.
