a) Logic would trigger the sequenced event,

b) the slave would then stream the sample into Logic, the sample would be EQed,

c) it would then go back to the slave for MIR positioning/reverb (for one would like to EQ the raw sample, no?),

d) then it would again go back to Logic for master output monitoring / bouncing. All this through VE.

How it is working :

MASTER :

a) Logic sends the midi note to the slave *  and **

SLAVE :

b) the slave converts the midi note to sample, if you need to EQ you will add an EQ in the VE Mixer (you can EQ, before or after sending it to MIR)

c) then VE will send the sample to MIR positioning/reverb (MIR is an Insert in VE Mixer)

d) All VI and AI are mixed in VE

e) The stereo or the 5.1 signal is send back to Logic

MASTER

 The Master can output monitoring / bouncing. 

Thanks for the information.

** if you want to use an EXS or other without sending it to MIR, today it is out of sync

Bonne nuit.

@Another User said:

 I was planning to send the EXS instruments to MIR as well (through VE), so I take it there will be no synchronization issues there.

We are waiting for a fix there too !

So you can't use any of the transformative functions of the host sequencer on any single track when you work with MIR? Only automation on single tracks and compression/limiting for the master track?

I'm not sure that I understood your question correctly, but Cyril tried to point out that Logic's "plugins" like its Channel EQ actually ain't real AU-plugins but part of the application. This is why you can't use Logic buil-in FX in any other host. Of course you can use all other AU-plugins within VE Pro and MIR Pro.

Apart from that, you can always use either audio inputs of VE Pro / MIR Pro to route pre-precessed audio signals into it, or you use seperated outputs from VE pro / MIR Pro to get back individual signals into Logic for further processing.

... did you already try MIR Pro's demo version? Many questions would answer themselves, I think. 😉

HTH,

What I was trying to ascertain Dietz (since I haven't worked with MIR), is whether someone that decides to work with MIR has to forego all the host DAW's power functions (EQ was just an example, I meant all the multifarious and sophisticated plug-ins that are offered in programs like Logic, Cubase, Pro Tools, etc.), and purchase separate stand-alone AU plug-ins that must also be run in the slave computer (for workflow reasons). If I understand things correctly, then Logic's usage is henceforth limited to the Arrange Page, it becomes merely a sequencer (like Master Tracks used to be), to be used only for Automation and final Bounce. Do I have this right? I apologize for my comparative lack of understanding of how these things work.

If that is the case, I don't see why VSL doesn't go the last few hundred meters of the distance and provide us with an all-in-one solution with its own "DAW" (as I first suggested a year ago), you've already toyed with the idea (that "sequencer" in the new VI PRO); if the above is correct, all that remains for you to integrate are things like automation, quantization, global tracks, nothing fancy...

Hello Dietz

> Apart from that, you can always use either audio inputs of VE Pro / MIR Pro to route pre-precessed audio signals into it, or you use seperated outputs from VE pro / MIR Pro to get back individual signals into Logic for further processing.

I dont understand how you can do this, if you have set to 5.1, you have 6 outs, that all   

Also

Can you make a point of what is still needing a fix and an expected date ?

- Exs or other Inst in Logic out of sync if going directly to the main out

- Audio Input not relyable

- Using VI in Logic 

- Event input, still hanging notes with last VI 2

- NRPN ?

- ....???????????

A little question : what are the differences between MIR and MIR PRO ?

Thanks

That's more the last hundred miles rather than just meters. 😊 - It has been pointed out already several times that VSL has no plans currently to go that route.

 Kind regards,

Hello Dietz

Would you kind enought to reply also to my questions

HiCyril,

it's sometimes hard to figure our what you're asking for, but I'll give it a try nonethless -

@Another User said:

Big answer to a little question: Please read the Vienna MIR PRO Upgrader's Manual for all details - they're covered in depth there.

HTH,

Dietz, I have to think about all this; I hope you don't mind if I picked up this discussion again when I decide to dive into the MIR world, for I have a couple more practical questions. However, having observed Cyril's and your answers, now is not the time to pose them.

You're welcome, Errikos. Like i said before - the most meaningful way to get a feel for MIR Pro and its possibilities is to try the 30 days demo version. The manuals of the application itself and for all the RoomPacks are also available as a free download from your VSL User Area.

Kind regards,

Thanks Dietz; for me a MIR trial at the moment is impossible since I don't have a slave computer upon which to test it. That's why I created this thread, in order to find out whether and how I should go about it - I'm glad I didn't order the Mac Mini Server as I was just about to...

It is wise to wait a bit to see what improvement are comming in next version, from what I have heard by mistake it's a bomb !

Maybe your solution will be to use your Imac as a Slave and your Macmini as a master LOL

New Macpro are comming (There is a big show on March 7th) so Apple is going to get rid of there actual stock, it is going to be good to watch the refurb those next weeks [;)]

I always buy my Macpro from refurb, and I saved a lot of money !!!!! Just by security I take an Apple care on it !

Cyril

I read about the Mac Pro potential imminent release. I hope it is so bloody powerful that it can possibly provide an all-in-one machine solution!

You think? [Y]

All the best.

With My Macpro 12 core and IAC I can play my test song in 7.1, !!!!

That is great news (I presume your test song is for full symphonic forces).

It's "from the new world" of Anton Dvorak, tremolos are done with note, so it is a lot of traffic
