You can run both DAW and Mir on the same PC like I do if you have a powerful enough computer, or spread over several slaves if needed. THE MIR processing takes place on the PC MIR is installed and you're using the relevant instruments or plugins on.
When connecting to MIR through the server, the local Vienna Ensemble install appears with an IP address as will any others over your network if that makes sense.
:-)
Right OK, so either the DAW machine or spread over several slaves to run MIR, that is flexible!.
I know the VEP 5/6 can be installed on 3 different machines with the syncrosoft dongle but what about MIR? - Is there a limit to the installations? - So if MIR was installed over several machines would the one license cover this rather like you can have as many VEP slaves as you wish / need.
Is MIR the same in this way? - so you can install on as many machines as you like on one license? - Just ascertaining if these is a catch! - EG - You need to buy more licenses! - If this is the case it needs a more powerful CPU or even a machine of it's own??? - Is MIR that CPU intensive? -Would 1 x AMD 8350 cover this? - or maybe a 4790K? - or a 5820K? - penny for your thoughts!
I've heard MIR takes a lot of processing, just how much? - reference to some different CPU's would be great! - Such as AMD 8350 / Intel 4790K / Intel 5820K / Intel 5960X / Intel 6850K / Intel 6950 X - A correlation of just how much CPU is needed to run MIR would be helpful.
As a slave the weakest CPU I'd use would be an AMD 8350 all the way up to 6950 X where there is no doubt !
As a reference I'm on a i7 3930k with 64GB RAM with SSD's for everything. Runs like an absolute dream with MIR; buffer at 2 or 4 depending on the size of the orchestra.
MIR is very efficient but I'd go for as strong a processor as you can. My old 6 core 3930k still holds its own in benchmarks even against some of the latest Intel offerings!
(except the i9 of course :D)
