  • [SOLVED] MIR icons not working after changing room

    Hi,

    I've created a project with the Teldex used in MIRs mode. Sound was routed from VEPRO to MIR PRO via AU plugins. There were several changes to placement and levels to probably all the icons.

    When I replaced the room with the Steinhofkirche, MIRx mode deactivated. I decided to let MIR reset all the settings, since I only needed the positioning and levels saved in the host project (in Dorico).

    While the icons of the first VEPRO instances seem to work fine, nearly all icons from the last instances no longer work. Or they just play a short attack, and are immediately cut.

    Bypassing a MIR plugin makes the sound reappear. Turning bypass off makes it disappear again.

    I've tried to reset MIR, relaunch Dorico and VEPRO, and reload all the project. The result is the same.

    Deleting the MIR plugins from VEPRO and calling them again seems no to fix this situation.

    What can be happening?

    I suspect that most Icons will sit outside the so-called "HotSpot" area if you switch from a scoring stage (where we could record more or less the whole hall) to a cathedral (where the "stage" is much smaller, by comparison) without adjusting the instruments' positions.

    Did you switch on the "HotSpot" display in MIR Pro's main GUI to check?

    Ehm… yes, you are right. I had not considered that! ðŸ˜³

    Thank you!

    There's no MIRx preset collection for Steinhofkirche (which is a pity, but the Venue is simply too unique for a generic "all-in" orchestral setup). But in fact there is one for Pernegg Monastery, if you're aiming for a more "ecclesiastical" sound. :-)

    ... for me, Pernegg is maybe the most beautiful MIR Venue of all, and a surprisingly flexible one at that.

    Agreed on Pernegg. I don't use it only for sacred music, but also for much music that could benefit from that type of dense, tight, intimate reverb. Roman/gothic middle-size churches are my preferred acoustic spaces. It is really a shame that music activities in the churches of my area are so limited. And the best sounding ancient churches are most of the time shut, unused, and what remains of liturgical activities takes place in bad-sounding modern churches. For me, using the Pernegg room is really an exercise in nostalgia.

    The Steinhofkirche is simply a huge space that I use when I need something really vast. It's the first time I’m using it with a full orchestra, and it is mostly as an experiment.
