    I haven't found any way to configure MIR Pro 3D to output the wet signal on a different pair of outputs from the dry signal. I'm talking about using MIR Pro as a VST plug-in, not within VE Pro.

    The purpose of this would be to render the wet signal to a track, and no longer need to load MIR Pro every time the project is open. Obviously, I could do that with the normal wet + dry signal, but I would like to have the flexibility to adjust the amount of wet signal after rendering.

    In Reaper I have found a way to do this using the pin out configuration for the VST instance of MIR Pro, but it's tedious.

    I know I could also use the VE Pro Audio Input plug-in, but I have had mixed results with that. I would prefer to just set the MIR Pro VST to output the wet signal on Chennels 3 & 4 (for instance).

    Have I overlooked something? Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    Actually that's not possible without major brain surgery. The problem is that the host would have to allow a plug-in to route audio to outputs other than those of the track in which it is instantiated. VE Pro allows for it, all others don't.

    As you wrote yourself, a _possible_ workaround in some DAWs (like Reaper) would be to create tracks with twice the number of channels and use MIR 3D's routing matrix (in the output format editor) to assign the wet signal to the additional outputs. But there are _so_ many possible pitfalls that I won't even begin to go into detail.

    The tried-and-tested way to handle dedicated dry / wet bounces from MIR is to use the Global Dry / Wet Solo buttons in the Output Panel and to perform two passes.

    HTH,

    I thought of one comment / question on this topic

    VE Ensemble Pro can send audio information back to the DAW it's being used with on any channel. It's instantiated as a plug-in in the DAW, and neither the DAW nor VE Ensemble Pro have any difficulty with sending or receiving on any channel.

    Why can't MIR Pro do that?

    I appreciate that the answer might be very technical, but I'm curious as to why this should be hard to do.
