    I started reading the manual to VI Pro, but there is one thing I just don't get.  I am running everything on one machine, do I actually need to riu VI Pro?  It seems to be for networking over a LAN.

    I am on a plane rght now and cannot download the video, but it might answer my question.  Does it take the place of your DAW sofftware (sequencer, Sonar Pro in my case.)  So far the manual keeps talking aobut servers and slave machines.  I just don't understand why it is needed on a single machine.  I know it is neccesary for running MIR Pro, which is what I am really interested in, but I just dont get what VI Pro is for.  It seems to do everything that my sequencing software already does.  Why can't you just plugin MIT Pro and use its features direcdtly?

    As I said, maybe the video will better explain this, but I don't have access unti i land in 6 hours!

    Paul....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!   [:)]

    Thanks,

    You cannot use any VSL software without VI Pro (or VI) as it is the sample playing engine, so I'll assume you mean VE Pro.

    If you are all on one computer then the networking side of VE Pro will not interest you,  but you can use VE Pro as a 32-bit bridge if running a 64-bit system.

    But I do agree on a single computer system if you don't need the 32-bit bridge abilty or MIR Pro, then you may as well just use multiple VI Pro instances in your DAW.

    But once you try out MIR Pro you'll see why you need it !

    You don't need VI (Pro) to make use of VE Pro, MIR Pro, VS or Imperial. Just to avoid confusion :)
