Why I Switched to Using Vienna Ensemble Pro

Is per-track delay compensation on the DAW side or the VEP side? e.g. when shorts in library A hit 50ms ahead of legatos in library B… I'd love to only have to think about that once.

Hi, I am setting up my system with MacBook Pro M1 and Windows Pc, sometime working great and other the instant of VEP network not show on Nuendo 12 I don't know why? but I believe that is the great system when I get it stable to work. Thank you totally agree with you. I had subscribe to your channel.

I’m in a similar situation with a Mac Mini M1 and an untapped Gaming PC. I use V collection, and other virtual synths. CPU and latency gets worse and worse as my projects develop. Very much an inspiration killer.

How would your setup work for virtual synths like Artuia V Collection, Silynth, Phase Plant, etc., where the bottleneck would be more CPU over RAM?

Also, these plugins have their own individual UI individually mappable parameters of knobs and sliders. Is any of that accessible in the client?

Good video. I’m running VEP on a Mac Studio with 2 old Mac minis and a 2015 MBP. I was amazed that using VEP on the main computer even without using the other computers totally saved enormous mounts of cpu. VEPro runs on a separate thread so where Logic and Cubase start to throttle cpu on complex pieces, using VEP on the same machine for all the VST instruments cut cpu to a quarter. My writing partner does the same on his custom PC.

Hey there, just watched what you said and I’m confused. Not technically accomplishmented as you are but looking into getting a new Mac (I have iMac 2015) and can’t afford a MacBook Pro, but want more libraries, I do have how’d Opus Edition and a few free libraries, but I need help and if I purchase a new Mac mini Pro, would you suggest for me, the Vienna Pro or what? I wonder what screen monitor you have using your mini?

I've been following your journey since your Mac Mini purchase. I actually decided to buy my Mac Mini 16GB RAM after watching your first video about it. After a while, I also found 16GB RAM too little for the libraries and vstis I use (BBCSO PRO, HOOPUS, other Spitfire stuff, Komplete 13 Ultimate, and others). And I also thought it was a waste to leave my old POWERFUL PC unattended in the dust (i7 3700 / 64GB RAM / 4 SSDs / Ultra Silent System). But, like you, I didn't want to go back to Windows at all. So I went for VEPRO. It's a fantastic system. I setup a gigantic template. But I started to have some problems (clipped notes, connection issues between the two machines) and not to mention that is not as easy as working in only one machine. End of story: I made a more efficient and streamlined template (but still huge, about 1000+ tracks) on the Mac Mini, using Cubase's magnificent "Enable/Disable Track" tool. Certainly with a little patience, help from tech support and a few tweaks I would resolve the issues with VEPRO. But at the end of the day, the truth is that in most of the serious projects I work on (small animations, soundtracks for the theater, etc) the Mac Mini (and Cubase) in this format work with ease. And it's infinitely more practical. But if you really need gigantic orchestrations you will love working with VEPRO. Who knows, maybe later I'll try this way of working again. Congratulations on your new setup! P.S: The new OPUS purge function is fantastic! I can setup really huge orchestration projects (using only the Mac Mini) with HOOPUS with all samples purged.
