    So  my suggestion is since you have multiple slaves to simplify the setup in a similar manner, having each with its own MIR. 

    Hello William

    If you have multiple slave with it's own MIR, do you get back in your DAW 2 x tracks or 2 x tracks per slave ?

    Hi Cyril.  I am just using a separate audio stream from each of 3 slaves.   

    An interesting thing I've noticed is the luxury of being able to throw in another instrument on any slave, if the whim strikes me, without the other instruments even noticing let alone having problems with the new player.

    One thing also, I tend to use somewhat smaller woodwind ensembles, or perhaps in general woodwinds are a bit less taxing in common orchestral practice (though not Rite of Spring - brrrr!....)   So the slave which is dedicated to woodwinds is somewhat bored with the small amount of processing it has to do.  As a result I was thinking of splitting the strings up, and putting Appassionata, Chamber and Orchestral on that one with the woodwinds, and reserving the original "strings" computer for  Dimension only. 

    The Dimension String players would probably prefer that, since they are just a little bit arrogant and think they are better than anyone else.  They probably are, but should not be reminded of it as they can become insufferably snooty and refuse to associate with "the Rabble" as they call the larger ensembles like Appassionata and Orchestral.  Even though when they start playing they blend perfectly with everyone else.  These people!   As brilliant as they are, they can be like children sometimes...

    Also, you missed the fact there are second violins for all the string libraries. 

    Are you mean VSL string libraries? Please show me it.


  • There are 2nd violins patches right in the patch list for Solo, Chamber, Orchestral and Appassionata strings.

    William,  special for you :)  http://i.minus.com/iE9LcYjQjNelL.jpg


  • 1 for Vosk !

    I have check in the sample list it's not there

    There was post on the forum how to make a Violon II, You take Violon I copy it and detune a tiny little bit

    Vosk you are not the only one asking for a Second Violon ;) this subject comes every six month !

    I dont know why VSL could not provide a second violon it will make there Library perfect.


  • If you have phasing you can try to invert the signal. There is one plug-in in Logic that does it, don't know about Cubase or the other.


  • There are five different sections sizes for strings available from VSL. To my ears, the best "second violins" are the respective next smaller sections, eg. Appassionata / Orchestra Violins, or Orchestra / Chamber.

    What I like even better is the same approach as above, with Dimension Violins added as the icing on the cake, e.g. five as First, three as Second Violins. This will allow for unparalleled agility and endless sonic options. Much better than "Second Violins" which wouldn't be much more than an afterthought to the actual First.

    Kind regards,

    Absolutely agree! That's why I combine different libraries! (for Cyril :))

    vosk,  special for YOU 😊

    Just go to your patches in Vienna Instruments to load a new patch, and you will see 2ND VIOLINS, for all the string libraries.  And don't tell me they do not exist, with proof of a jpg off the internet,  when I have them and use them.   I am not hallucinating (at least not this time).

    I have not - http://i.minus.com/ibkQw5wqdUh7j5.JPG

    But I have SE Strings only. Can you attach a picture  of your Vienna Instruments with 2ND VIOLINS please?


  • I only have the full Symphonic Cube extended edition, none of the smaller editions, and am not clear on what is left out of them, so maybe that is why you don't see it.


  • roger! :)
