Daryl - come on bro - tell us how you did the second one!!!!!!!!


[:D]


Rob

Well, I think that it was pretty obvious that the second one was AV Perf leg. In case anyone cares, the first one was done using a mixture of 14Vln Perf leg, Chamber Vln (vibrato) and Solo violin Perf leg.

DG

So Daryl, Rob, Jay, etc... how do you like the new violins?


I love them. Listening to Daryl's 2 snippets shows clearly HOW MUCH VSL has achieved with them.

My only complaint - wish I now had the same with Appasion Cellos [[;)]]


Rob

oooh, yeah baby... I'm waiting for these as well! [:)]

YUP...best $40 you will spend today......!

enjoy...

PaulM, how did you arrive at the "four file" figure? I can verify your number. Last night I had to re-load all offending cab files (3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10). 9 needed two reloads.

By the time I got to 10, I re-loaded it *and* 11, 12, and 13 at the same time, figuring I had nothing to lose. Anyway, it worked. So I can confirm I loaded four healthy files at once.

Well, I've tried twice now to post a link for you on vsldaemon, but it keeps referencing either the search engine or the main forum page. If you type "vsldaemon" into the search engine, look for a thread started by musos. golem explains what it is and why it doesn't show up in Activity Monitor.

Cheers.

Regarding vsldeamon discussion, check this thread:

http://www.vsl.co.at/en-us/69/128/36.vsl

Quite simple.......over zealous downloading practices!!!

I was greedy and tried to get them all in one go - didnt work....so i tried about 6 still crapped out - tried 5 - same......tried 4 - worked great.

So then I just downloaded files chunks of 4 - no more problems.

Thanks for link re daemon...

PaulM

Nice trial and error, you intrepid pioneer. These are the reasons the prudent user waits a week or so before plunging in.

Again, per my edit, I was trying to link to musos' thread "vsl deamon" as discussed with golem. Hope you found it.

Rob

I am loving the AV's....just great - and yes I agree...I will be the first in line when they sell the Appassionata Celli on the shop (or for download)'[[[;)]]]'......

@DG said:

OK, my turn. One version is Appassionata Violins, one is DG Passion Special. [URL=http://darylgriffith.com/production/vsl/Which_is_which.mp3]Which is which?[/URL]

DG

I bet this line would sound terrific with the new prog vibrato leg line. THAT patch is simply wonderful.

Yeah you are right.......BUT - I'm a "new and shiney" junkie.....

If it's NEW and it's out there and I'm entitled to it......Its going on my hard drive..........NOW!!!!!!

Dear VSL Guys,

Is there any reason you are not making these available on FTP? Most FTP clients have auto resume and queueing, and the format is designed for file transfer (unlike HTTP, which is really designed for small files).

Kind Regards,

Nick.

nick, of course ftp is the preferred protocol for this - therefore it is called FileTransferProtocol [;)]
but unfortunately we had to set up hundreds of users on the webserver if we'd like to allow that ... nothing desirable ...
christian

Dear Christian,

Far be it from me to criticise, particularly given VSL's largesse in making this fantastic library available (or I'm sure it will be, when I've finally downloaded it, if you see what I mean), but being a last word freak I have to respond.

I can't believe that VSL can write the incredible, wonderful, superb and extraordinary Virtual Instrument tool, but are stumped when it comes to writing a quick script to automate the creation of users based on those stored in a table in your forum database, and another to run nightly to create new users and synchronise passwords.

I recall similar problems with downloading your holiday specials - again, truly wonderful and generous, but dang, I wish there was an FTP site to download them from.

Or is it just me...? [:O]ops:

@cm said:

tom, you need to have registered either strings or performance set pro edition and ViennaInstruments orch. strings I extended. if you qualify for the download (pro edition already registered) and do not have the extended library for S1 yet an upgrade from S1 standard would be 35 EUR
christian

Got it am downloading the files now...I upgraded my Orch Strings 1 and 2 today...can't wait to hear these!

Thanks
Tom

@DG said:

As Christian said there is a heavy vibrato patch, but only an idiot would use this for a legato line. It should be used for certain key notes within a phrase.

DG

Not really, if you are doing anything "in period".....listen to any of the old arrangements done on Sinatra recordings, or virtualy any film score from the 40s.....vibrato is heavy and omnipresent....

Tom

I'm just beginning to try out appassionata, sounds terrific!!! But I have a question: Are the sounds already linked with some control faders? ex. vibrato control, I presume not, just checking.

God, if the cellos sounded like that!!!!

Guy,

The thing to do is play your first note with "Progressive VIB" and 2nd note with "Heavy VIB"

I know it's alittle limiting, since you are tied to the time the Prog VIB takes to get to the VIB....but the result is still excellent....

BTW.........the Perf Leg Sforz is GREAT for Accent notes + the fact that it goes into a loop on the quiet portion is awesome.

SvK

That is a sweet combination, got any more like that? [:D]

Guy,

Also include the "Perf_Repition / Perf-Leg Patch" and keyswitch to it for repeating the same note in 8ths or 4th notes.....

And last but not least......include the 3 second and 6 second decresc (set AB switch permanently to decresc) and keyswitch to it for fade out notes...


Oh yeah...........On Performance TAB turn on Velocity Cross-Fade, right click it's fader and assign mod-wheel. (But you already knew that one [;)]

That's it.

SvK

I downloaded the files.

I chose a drive and folder to install into (I'm on a Mac).

I clicked INSTALL.

Up comes a window wanting me to type in some kind of path (there is no browse button, I have already done that step.) It is as if it is installing the files in the background when this message comes up asking me to "Insert a disk" etc.

What is going on???

Tom

Sorry for this double post....
