Dragging items is crucial when you have multiple tabs in MIR 3D (i.e. several halls, or several versions of the same hall with different settings). You'll drag the selected instruments to another "headline" in the list then. (see attachment). Just try it! Creating a new tab is as easy as clicking the "+"-sign in the right of the displayed Venue name on top of the map.

... dragging items to the map itself will do nothing, though. 😊

HTH,

Dietz,

will the Synchron stage blend well with the new room pack 7? When combining dry instruments with the SY wet ones.
Any advice to make this work?

Thank you,

Rubens

This works really well. 

I am still getting many many crashes with MIR Pro 3D.

If MIR is still active in the task bar after closing a VEP project that uses MIR, when opening a new VEP project that uses MIR, it will crash.

Also, clicking on the preferences or the settings cog in the top left while MIR is active in VEP will cause it to crash.

I am on Windows 10 Using the latest versions of VEP and MIR.

Hi Dietz,

No, I meant for example blending Synchron Elite strings (without MIR), with orchestral strings (vi-pro) into MIR Festenspielhaus. Could this layering work fine? If yes, any advice?

Thank you,

Rubens

I would strongly suggest to use RoomPack 6 - Synchron Stage Vienna to blend non-Synchron sources with Synchron Instruments, really. Other combinations _might_ work very well, but this will vary from case to case.

Depending on the chosen Venue some colours are less visible than others, that's true. Just right-click the Icon (or the Instrument's entry in the list on the left) and assign any other colour you prefer. Most of the time it's sufficient to make the assigned colour a bit darker or brighter.

The good news is that MIR 3D's "Roles" will remember their colours, too. You can even apply them without changing any other parameter (just de-select them in the selection panel at the bottom of the Preset Manager).

HTH,

It doesn't matter what colour the instrument is, the font will be white. This restricts greatly our colour selection choice to dark colours in order to see the name of the instrument properly.

And the selected instruments label should DEFINITELY come to the front of any surrounding labels. At the moment there isn't any particular system. See GIF

The little white highlight that the selected instrument currently has is completely insufficient and easily gets lost with all the other small white things on the screen

In a nut shell, lots and lots of improvements need to be made to the graphics of this software.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I'll forward them to VSL's developers and graphics designers.

Kind regards,

Hi JBuck,

yes, the graphical bug is an old one, but AFAIR it is really hard to fix as it is related to some kind of glitch in the graphics library MIR 3D has to rely on. It is not doing any harm to your project and easy to get rid of by changing the height of of the list entrances, but it's a bit embarrassing nonetheless.

Regarding "Roles": I have asked VSL's developers to look into the graphical implementation of this concept again, just to make sure that there is no inconsistency. In the meantime I kindly ask you to refer to MIR 3D's manual - it contains a section that covers this unique feature thoroughly. :-)

Kind regards,

Hi!

I will try to answer your questions:

@Another User said:

And what causes the * in the instrument name after a Venue preset is loaded? 

It means that the current settings in the instrument differ from the chosen role preset. You can then (if the venue preset is not read-only) save it (and overwrite your settings) or just press the apply button. Then the star should go away (especially if you have everything checked in the "Apply Role Presets" section).

The same goes for venue presets.

Hi,

Thanks for answering my questions.

Here is a video showing the Role presets not loading when they should be.

Cheers,

Great! Thanks for that.

Those typos must have been due to me trying to rename things to get them to load properly. I had assumed Roles were assigned based on channel not based on name. Now that I understand that, I should be okay.

Cheers,  

The way we can [Ctrl] click the H (Hide) button in the instrument list on the left to isolate an icon is great. But when doing the same with a group the behaviour is different.

If I [Ctrl] click the H button of one of the channels included in a group MIR hides every icon. Which means I must carry out an additional step of 'Unhide selected' in order to view the group in isolation.

 It would be great if [Ctrl] clicking on one of a group's H buttons isolated that group.

Also, when working with multiple venues, it would be great if the instrument list on the left only contained the instruments used in the selected tab. Or at least an option.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Hmmm ... I'm not sure that I really like the idea of actually _hiding_ entrances in the list, but I've been pondering the idea of having a more browser-like structure there, with the option to fold in the list Tab-wise (much like in the panels on the left. - I'll put it on the list.

Enjoy MIR 3D!

We are musicians not computer maniac !

Please add all function available by SHIFT ALT CTRL OPTION in edit sub menu like LOGIC PRO does

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE
