    A snapshot from the ESC's official Production Handbook gives you some nice background information (s. attachment).

    ... and in case you're able to read German, there's a recent press release from VSL with further details:

    -> VSL at the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna (German only)

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you Dietz, wow, interesting. I is always good to know how the creators use their own creations. For us this years Contest did not end good ;D ... but I agree that Latvia was the best Song and also very good performed. Some figures are interesting: 40.000 users ... what a number! I did not expect this. Greetings Lars

    ok, now you have staccatos... really still want some other articulation too? start from top...

    so it really needs lists we can choose articulations from and add as a multiple selection from a bigger menue in one go. in a readable size! pleeeeeaaaase!

    I recomment to look more closely into the search option of the patch browser. Referring to your example, you can type: "VI-P RE staccato", you will get filtered exclusively the staccato patches for all Dimension Violins for the regular string mappings.

  • good tip, thank you!

    but wouldn't it be easier to use the computers file system and a drag and drop system? 


  • I would drown kittens and eat babies if it meant that I could have the option to keep the Vienna Ensemble instances always "raised". These little service interfaces that are floating around everywhere are just making me nuts. I'm constantly looking for the right VE instance, minimizing and maximizing things and it's just super-annoying.

    Another option would be to consolidate all of them in some kind of "rack" or panel, so they don't clutter up the whole task bar.

    Actually, here's the deal: give me the option to make those darn little things disappear from my sight, and I will refrain from drowning kittens and eating babies!


  • Hi Dietz, this Future Wish goes to the MIR Team. I bought MIR Pro and X, because I like to open the Second Microphone in MIR only to a Certain Group of Vienna Instruments. A Mix of both MIR X with second Mic and Pro with deactivated Second Mic works best for it. But I would really like it in the future, to see activated MIR X Instruments Inside the MIR Pro Software on their Position WITH A SPECIAL MIR X Icon. That would be better for the visual Mix. Of course it would be another great Variant to have possibilities to open the second mic only for certain Instruments in MIR Pro! In German: Es wäre toll, wenn man bei einer Mir X Aktivierung im Vienna Instrument (und bei gleichzeitiger Nutzung von MIR Pro des selben Raumes) das Instrument in MIR Pro an seiner Position mit einem "VI-MiR X-Icon" sieht, auch wenn der eigentliche Effekt nur über das Vienna Instrument läuft. Das wäre hilfreich, um zu sehen, welche Positionen in MIR Pro bereits mit VI besetzt sind bei denen MIR X aktiviert wurde ... also ein visueller Benefit für mehr Transparenz. Edit: Um das zu vereinfachen könnte man anstatt des roten X in der Mitte des MIR Icons vielleicht die Farbe Blau oder Weiß für das X verwenden und müsste dann aber verhindern, das man dieses MIR Icon an eine andere Position verschieben kann. Davon abgesehen könnte eine De/Aktivierung des 2ten Mikrofons in MIR Pro für bestimme Instrument-Gruppen und Einzelinstrumente hilfreich sein. Trifft in der Praxis vor allem auf 3rd Party Gastinstrumente zu oder auf Instrumente, die bereits mit Hall aufgenommen wurden, wie die Rieger Orgel oder Omnisphere-Sampleinstruments. Danke & Grüsse an das MIR Team!
