I'm using Vienna Ensemble Pro (VEP) 5. I have different instruments in each of the channels of VEP with Vienna MIR Pro enabled in each of the channels.
Is there a way of creating different levels of reverberation in each of the channels or do they all need to share the same level of reverberation. If there is a way to create different levels of reverberation for each channel, how do you accomplish that?
Thanks!
I'm not sure that I understand your question correctly. 8-)
- If you need different _levels_ of reverberation, then you would use the Dry/Wet-slider of the individual MIR Icons to adjust the ratio of direct and room signal. Changing the position of an instrument to a spot farther away from the Main Mic will give you more recognizable reverberation, too.
- If you're aiming for different reverb _settings_ (eg. a small and a large room at the same time), you would be better off by using conventional AUX-send based reverbs instead of MIR Pro. The basic idea of MIR is to get all players into the same room, not different ones.*)
*) ... that said, it might be worth mentioning that you _could_ use separate instances of Vienna Ensemble Pro to host different MIR Venues.
Kind regards,

This seems counterintuitive to me. I thought one of the advantages to using MIR was that you could set the players up on the virtual stage and the reverberation levels would reflect their position on that stage. Why would you spend all that money on MIR and then use it like any other reverb? Am I missing something?
Of course I don't own MIR so maybe I'm just sticking my nose where it doesn't belong😳 Sorry.
Well, that is another more radical possibility. MIR is very intuitive. The ordinary way as Dietz mentioned is to set overall reverb for the room including the dry/wet ratio, then one can adjust individual instruments dry/wet ratios as well - something very useful as one often wants less reverb on basses, etc. And then placement creates a different basic distance for the instrument on top of those settings.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that MIR was counterintuitive I just thought that the MIR work flow strategy that Dietz mentioned seemed inapropriate considering MIR's capabilities.
It's kind of like dropping $2,000 on a brand new custom made Glock handgun and then using it to hammer nails😛
But, like I said, I don't own MIR so to each his own I guess.
