It is taking a very long time... Digital Performer 11 (Universal) was released over a year ago but I can't use it because VEPro 7 MAS is unusable with Rosetta 2 and DP11. So I'm stuck with Digital Performer 10 under Rosetta 2, which only just works and crashes a few times each day.

I'm finding Rosetta 2 stable with stereo projects in DP. It's getting very old having to switch back and forth between native and Rosetta simply to accommodated projects with VEP, but it's working here. It's off-topic for this thread, but you might try posting on motunation.com re this, if you haven't already. I'm not optimistic VEP will become native anytime soon.I'm not optimistic VEP will become native anytime soon.
Why? Both Paul and Ben said they were working on it. Since MIR Pro 3D is out and the transition to iLok is complete, the can fully focus on that.
Good point. Call it professional pessimism on my part. I couldn't guess how long a transition like this might take, but having those two items completed should speed things up.I'm not optimistic VEP will become native anytime soon.

NI, Audio Ease and VSL are my biggest laggers, and NI is oddly stepping out in front with Kontakt and Guitar Rig both AS ready.

Hi Paul,
We really need some kind of ETA now. Personally, I use VEP in game production on a daily basis, and spent years refining my template, balancing, relying on VEP. I've been a VSL user since 2008, so been around here for quite a long time, also educating university students to use VEP, among other things.
My old computer is getting less and less reliable, so I bought a maxed out Mac Studio now, and still the processing overhead by using Rosetta in Cubendo is simply too high for any serious work to be done. Doesn't really matter if VEP works well, it's the other CPU demanding plugins that are forced to run Rosetta that will be bottlenecks.
If VEP is not made compatible within a reasonable time frame (months, not years, it's been almost 2 years since Silicon was first released), I'd have to redo my entire template internally in Nuendo, and after that I will never ever go back to VEP, or recommend any of my university film scoring students using VEP for that matter.
Please, give us something.
Hi,
It's high on our list, but I can't give you an ETA - it usually only causes disappointment when things don't go as planned.
But rest assured that we're on it!
Best,
Paul
Hi everybody,
We understand your position, and those last 2 years were very intense for everybody, in many ways.
Here's the catch with ETAs in software development: High probability of disappointment for both users and developers. We have been there, and it's not a good place.
So we decided to announce our products or essential updates only when they are ready and tested, good to go to make your world a better place.
I can tell you that it's looking good at this point, but I still can't give you an ETA.
I will post and news in this thread first!
Thanks for your understanding!
Best,
Paul
Way to stick to your guns Paul 😃 Its probably the correct reply, even though we want to strangle you for it 😠 I'm not in the AS boat yet even though I'm about to hop on, so I'm not as frustrated as many here...yet. I assume quite a few might need to move on or change their working ways, but I guess that's something VSL is willing to deal with. Best of luck and really hope things move smoothly, and quickly!
I have complete two commercial projects while swimming in the sea of VEP bugs, crashes note hangs and useless waste of processing power because of rosetta simulation. I just can't believe how long it's taking VSL to make this native silicon move. Very frustrated with no end in sight!
VEP and MIR PRO are the only two softwares in my HUGE template that still do not run natively..
I'd like to add my voice to the discussion here. At this point, having migrated successfully to a Mac Studio, Vienna Ensemble Pro stands out as the only software in my studio not yet ported over to silicon, or at least (and to be fair), the only critical piece. My sincere hope is that VSL will soon release a version capable of running natively on the M1, and I mean within days or weeks. Frankly, I'm starting to consider other options, and as at least one other poster has pointed out, once another solution is adopted, there may be no going back to VSL. I've always held Vienna Ensemble Pro in high regard, it is an elegant solution for professional composers. But VSL's sluggish response to the inevitable is disheartening.
I'm limping along with my old Mac Pros waiting for this update, but clearly VSL has hit a wall somewhere with the M1 port, maybe multiple walls. I'm finishing up a score in the next few weeks but can not limp along with my bunch of old cheesegraters any more, I have to make the switch before the next serious project comes in. Does anyone have a workaround (compatible with DP 11)? A substitute for VEPro that can run native?
I haven't used it in a long time, but Bidule by Plogue might work for you. At the very least it's worth checking out.
Also @VSL as an alternative to silence, check out what NI did.
They posted an estimated timeline and sent everyone an email about it. Just saying, some companies choose to communicate.
PS: for what its worth, I've been running VEP through Rosetta in Cubase on a Mac Studio M1 Max since June and it's been mostly stable as long as I don't go below 512 buffer size. If I go below that VEP starts to crash and act up. I'm very much looking forward to a native version so I can drop my buffer size, but otherwise it's been very stable.
Ditto here with DP11. Stable with Rosetta. But it is getting old staying at 512, as is a lot of other aspects of running DP in Rosetta....for better or worse I've actually grown used to playing with a 512 buffer over the years.PS: for what its worth, I've been running VEP through Rosetta in Cubase on a Mac Studio M1 Max since June and it's been mostly stable as long as I don't go below 512 buffer size.
