  • thanks Dietz, support got me straight by email.

    MIR is pretty awesome.   I have been testing it on a Core2 Quad which I will upgrade.  It seems when I add the 5th input from the DAW to MIR the audio returning from MIR starts to stutter and break up.  THe cpu was at 56% and as soon as I activate that 5th audio input it goes down to around 26 percent while it stutters.  At first I thought it might just be buggy new software but I imagine there's just a cpu power issue?  Or then I thought it might be a network issue but I can stream a shitload of regular VE Pro channels over network.

    So what I am getting at is what cpu do you recomend?  Can you give me an idea of how many audio inputs of MIR I could get from a typical i7?  Sandy bridge alright?  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115071  How many audio inputs you think I could get with that?  Probably the most I will use is 20 inputs as I don't do orchestral stuff.

    thanks


  • Nevermind.  I found the problem.  Seems I had a bad ethernet cable.  I noticed even file transfers to that computer were really slow and sure enough network monitor was at 100%.  Slapped in another cable and I could add more inputs.  I should be able to get the inputs I need now.  I might even overlock this Core2 Quad to get a little more juice.  Just saved me 500 bucks in computer upgrades for the time being.


  • Oh -  I was just about to answer your previous question when I saw the "cable solution". Good to hear that you're up and running now.

    To be honest I wasn't aware of the fact that a network-cable can be just "a little bit" faulty. I was under the impression that it either works, or it doesn't.  8-) .... thanks for the info.

    Kind  regards,

  • Yeah it's weird.  Not sure what was up.  Seemed to be a cap on the bandwidth.  It works now so whatever...works.  :-)

    man, MIR Pro is so awesome.  Such a sense of space, lushness and power.  It's working great in a regular band type context (with orcestral elements).  You guys should play up it's not just for orchestral stuff.  ANd you were right.  Teldex is my favorite so far but I haven't gone through all the halls.

  • Yeah, it's golden.  I am adding a little bit of Lexicon to some of the dry key tracks too which is nice.  But defintely I was use far less regular reverb which is a good thing I think.  I also love MIRacle on the master Buss MIR returns set on the Modulation preset.  MIRacle is basically based off Hybrid Reverb correct?


  • Yes, but it is surround capable which HybRev isn't, plus a few other less obvious differences under the hood.

    Of course!! So it's a pity, there isn't still an instrument profil in MIR PRO for the vsl jazz drums. It's the stepchild of the company seems to me. You shouldn't be so shy. It's a really great sounding tool, very useful and deep sampled. So, take it on my personal wish list 😊 btw more than a great upgrade...!! Best Frank

  • Speaking of Jazz Drums, I believe VSL said they were going to ad MIDI drum files of different beats, fills, etc, when Jazz Drums was first released as a bonus instrument.  Does anyone know if there are more preset drum MIDI files and where to get them?  I absolutely love the Jazz Drums, but often don't use them as I'm short on time to program them into a song file.

    Thanks & All Best,       Tom


  • There should be one downloadfile in your user area under the jazzdrum-files called "jazzdrum projects". These midi-files are good starting points - sometimes. I think for jazzmusic there is not really a short cut for the drum. But mostly I program a basic pattern, creating a lot of variations of it to get a more lively performance. So it needs not too much time, but still an amoung of course. Frank   EDIT: I'm aware now, the midifiles are not there anymore. Didn't find them nowhere. So I suppose they will be not delivered anymore. Maybe someone of VSL can explain why or whether you can get these files in a different way.
