Welcome OLD GOOD MAN,
thanks for your interest in Vienna MIR and MIR Pro.
These are the main new features for the upcoming MIR Pro:
- OS-X compatibility
- direct integration with most modern DAWs
- full latency compensation
- will work with any usual sample frequency, not just 44.1 kHz
- audio inputs
- LAN capability
- Automation of user-defined parameters
- MIDI-remote control of user-defined parameters
- Undo/Redo
- direct and/or stem outputs
- AUX-sends for individual instruments and input-signals
- enhanced possibilities for defining the format and for the handling of the virtual main microphone(s), including the option for using a secondary microphone in most Venues *)
- direct access to a tailor-made algorithmic overall-reverb for "sweetening" *)
- completely overhauled RoomPacks (... this Version 2 of all RoomPacks was made available already a few months ago for Vienna MIR 1.3, too ... read this announcement for details)
- many graphical interface improvements (like labels for the Instrument Icons, free colour selection and so on)
- many usability improvements and streamlined overall workflow, plus increased speed and stability (the code of MIR Pro is almost a complete rewrite, not just an enhanced version of MIR)
- less RAM usage of MIR itself (... instruments will have the same RAM usage, of course)
- direct compatibility with Vienna Ensemble Pro (... actually, MIR Pro will behave as some kind of glorified add-on to VEP, so all features that will be available with the upcoming Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 will be available within MIR Pro, too)
*) These are areas we're still working on right now.
Apart from that, we plan to capture some new Venues in the future.
... I hope I didn't forget anything worth mentioning. 8-) Of course, this information is preliminary and might change in some details for the actual release.
Kind regards,

Sorry to burst in here, but... That's really an impressing list. - The mentioned option of a secondary main mic makes me thinking a lot. What about phasing issues? Two roominformations - how doesn't the mix get muddying? I suppose it's to have a closer main mic for more amoung of direction signal and the second for more space information? A very amazing outlook! Regarding the stability - don't know, what to improve, 'cause MIR works more than stable. In a half year o n e crash (at a roughly handling) in a almost daily using. But it's easy to understand - with all these new features (different sample rates, undo/redo etc.... the completly new script will be necessary. Hope you'll make it rock-solid again! Thanks for all these information - even if I didn't ask for - always interesting to hear about the upcoming tool! I'm really looking forward to it and getting quite nervous... :-) Frank

Maybe I should rephrase that. You are right, MIR in it's recent incarnation is a very stable application already, and as a matter of fact I have seen hardly any support-cases in this respect at all. It's more about what happens if the user goes to the very extremes, and/or does seemingly "illogical" things. "Increased error tolerance" sounds better. 😉
