  • Vienna Ensemble Pro Network Issue

    Greetings,

    I am running Logic 9.1.4 with 300 instrument template. A great deal of these instances are VPro on my Mac Pro slave, with Kontakt running VSL, LASS, etc. I am running OSX10.6.7. Master has 32GB RAM, Slave has 16GB.

    However, when I load up the template, only the Master Mac Pro boots up Vpro and loads the correct samples. The Slave refuses to load up the metaframe (although when I built it all was fine). The metaframe will open manually and I have to individually connect each instance which has become a daily nightmare as I am a professional composer.

    I have struggled with network settings, and noted similar issues with other rigs on this forum. Airport is disabled when I begin to load.

    Is there some kind soul who could advise me on how to successfully network the two machines so my template will load up as I wash the car, do the dishes, etc :-). Currently each machine has its own IP address, which is the limit of my knowledge.

    Many thanks in advance! 


    1.  Have you preserved all Instances?
    2. Have you made sure that you are not running decoupled?

  • Hi DG,

    Thanks for your kind reply. Yes, all instances saved and the metaframe also. I never run decoupled even though it takes a while to load/save as we all know.


  • When you say "saved" do you mean saved or do you mean Preserved? They have to be named and Preserved. Saving is optional. For what you want to happen you must save your template when you have done the above things.

    I would suggest that you build a new, really simple (just a couple of instruments) template for testing purposes to see if this works properly. Then you might be able to figure out what is different with your normal working template.

  • Hi DG,

    Yes, as always, when I create a fresh test instance it loads flawlessly. Then I go through the laborious process of rebuilding my template only to find the same issue of the slave not loading. But I thank you kindly for your help and advice.

    I am sure it is a networking issue but I am not so clever in this area.


  • is your slave Mac connected directly on the second Ethernet port ?

    does your slave has a fix IP address (network pref/configure IPv4 ----> manually ) ?


  • Hi Cyril,

    Yes, the slave set to "Using DHCP with manual address" and an individual IP address. When I test a tiny new template it all loads up fine. But my massive 300 instrument (which was only built freshly 3 weeks ago) does not automatically launch VPro when Logic opens the session.

    Thank you for any advice about this issue.

    Cheers


  • Try 'manually'

    Not using DHCP [;)]

    You did not answer to my other question !

    Best

    Cyril


  • Hi Cyril,

    Sorry. Ethernet connected directly to slave by cable. I have set "manually".

    But I have just noticed something. The Master IP address seems to have changed from what it was yesterday. How is this possible? I know I am obviously being stupid on this technical level..


  • Hi

    What you do :

    Set it DHCP,  you will get an IP that is not 192....

    note all the figures

    set it to manually 

    put all the figures noted

    shut down and restart everything

    start ve pro server on both computer

    launch your logic song

    attach the ve pro missing of your slave

    save your logic song

    quit logic

    re-lauch it and see if it is attaching all the ve pro that are on your slave


  • Hi

    Thank you very much for this information. Do I set both machines as described or merely the server?


  • Hi Cyril

    Amazing! Now it all works. Thank you very much indeed for the information.

    May your children be sons and the fleas of 1000 camels infest the armpits of your enemies ;-)

  • Would this fix my LAN streaming issue? this is driving me bonkers. I can't even get ONE note to play without popping or dropping on ONE instrument on my slave pc. grrrr I've been tinkering with everything under the sun.
