audio plugins in pro tools first with plogue bidule

I'm still amazed that Apple doesn't sort this out as a priority? Surely there are loads of people that need this? The only thing that's a PITA is having to have so many instances, but that's because of Apple's crappy 16 MIDI channel spec.

I double click on the Spooks 64-bit mframe and it then loads up all the 12 individual vframes with their relevant instruments. So then in the morning, the computer launches 64-bit server. Why can't they just speak non-gobbledigook language!) (name of soundtrack) (I think I may have vframe and mframe mixed up. So my 64-bit server on the slave has 12 instances of VE Pro running in it. Kontakt VE instance 1, mach 1 instance 1, etc). instance of of VE Pro), I save the set-up individually (e.g. (I wish they would make these 64-bit compatible!) Each instance has 16 channels of MIDI in it. This is my template, and in DP's template for this soundtrack I have the various VE Pro plug-ins already set-up. The way I work (and again, I'm gonna write this up in detail sometime!) is I have about 12 instances of VE Pro loaded up on a slave. What do you mean you can't have more than 1 per server? viframe file, but that's basically worthless because you CANNOT add more than one to the Server. You can save each individual VE Pro instance as a. And one note on the 16 MIDI channel limitation: I thought I'd be clever and set Omnisphere to receive MIDI 9-16, leaving 1-8 for Stylus (brilliant!), but Stylus mirrors 9-16 on 1-8 (What the heck?!!). If I REALLY wanted both in the Server, I would have to load the demo first, then add a blank VE Pro instance and recreate my Spectrasonics instance (What the heck?). However, the Server would only either overwrite the Spectrasonics instance, or merge the two into one (useless because of the 16 MIDI channel limitation/per in DP). I wanted to add the demo to the Server so that both instances would be available in DP (cool!). VE Pro comes with a demo of the VSL Orchestra routed and mixed in a VE Pro instance (cool!). For example, I spent a little time first setting up a VE Pro instance with Spectrasonics plugs in a 64-bit Server (cool!). So you have to use a lot of VE Pro instances, but the way the VE Pro Server manages those instances is frustrating. So you can have a total of 16 MIDI channels shared by all those VIs. Because the AU spec only supports 1 MIDI port per VE Pro instance. So each instance of VE Pro can have up to 32 MIDI ports of 16 channels each for a whopping 512 MIDI channels per instance. Will write a detailed version in a month or so, as I say, as there are a few helpful things. If you want to do this on the same computer, it works exactly the same, but obviously your samples and VE pro app are on your main computer, so no need for an ethernet cable. no need for auxes (unless you want to get into routing stuff.) It's so unbelievably simple when you've done it a few times, and reliable as hell. It takes about 10 secs! All audio and MIDI is carried from the slave computer by an ethernet cable. There are other points, such as if you want to create a new VE instance in DP which saves ALL the settings in DP, rather than saving the Vframe/mframe on the slave, but don't hav time to write it all up at the mo. You see the instance of Vienna which you've opened on the slave and click connect.ĥ) select a MIDI channel in DP, as you would any other Virtual instrument. (as you would opening any Virtual instrument).Ĥ) you click on the 'connect' button in DP and it opens a pop-up box. You then create an instance of Vienna, hosting your Kontakts, spectrasonics or whatever.ģ) you launch a VE Pro plug-in in DP. Within the year!).īut if you're running on a slave computer:Ģ) launch VE Pro server (it's a separate app which you will have installed on the slave - this is where your samples are). I'm gonna write a more detailed version in October when my soundtracks have finished and I have time (See Frodo, I told you I'd get round to it. Would you be wanting to use it on the same computer or a different one (i.e. Ours is not to question the beauty of how VE Pro works!

Maybe I should just do some research., but does it basically work like rewire in that you create some aux tracks in dp to receive the audio from VE Pro?
