    Hi all!!

    Yesterday I got my Vienna Key and started my first steps in testing Special Edition Core Bundle. I am currently testing the demo version of VEP, VIP and MIRx, I have a question about MIRx that could not find in the manual.

    In my first tests the obvious issue was that each MIRx instance I loaded up on each instrument, consumed more and more CPU. Is it possible to "share" mic configs between instruments?, so for example I could have one mic config for woodwinds, one for strings, etc...

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Juan,

    Thanks for your interest in MIRx!

    MIRx settings have been created for each individual instrument or ensembles available as Vienna Instruments (more or less). It's not possible to "bus" them together in MIRx (only in MIR Pro). It would contradict the underlying concept anyway, and it would ask for a much more complex, mixing-console-like routing matrix.  

    ...  even if it _can_ be done with MIR Pro, this conventional AUX-send-style of working is not the way MIR actually "thinks". MIR is all about position and direction. The more individual signals it receives to work with, the better the achieved results will be.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Dietz,

    Thanks for your answer!

    I'll get MIRx with the August promo anyway, but just wanted to know if it was possible as wth my initial tests I heared some pops and cracks due to high CPU, then I realized it was MIRx. Anyway, for the time being, I think I could have a "backup" standard Reverb (such as Logic's Space Designer) and then, when bouncing, activate MIRx.

    Perhaps I still need to tune things up a bit, so many config options with VEP seems a bit overwhelming. Are there any guides I can take to get the most out of MIRx performance-wise?

    Thanks!

    The faster the CPU, the better MIRx will perform. Fast RAM is helpful, too.

    Higher latency and/or higher buffer values will increase the time for your system to process MIR's convolution tasks. MIRx Settings give you access to the MIR engine's dedicated latency (on top of your audio system's latency!), which you should increase until your system is able to cope with the load.

    HTH,

    Great! Thanks a lot! I'll try to test it after work!
