Vienna MIRVienna MIR is a stand-alone application for Vista/Windows 7 64-bit systems. It runs exclusively with Vienna Instruments.
Since Vienna MIR is a mixing host, it is required that your Vienna Instruments Collections as well as Vienna MIR are installed on the very same computer. This demands a lot of CPU power and RAM, therefore we're giving detailed recommendations on the required system specifications. Requires the ViennaKey. |
System Requirements:
For smaller projects, e.g., users of the Vienna Special Editions:
- PC Intel Quad-Core i7-920 or better, with Vista/Windows 7 64-bit
- 12 GB RAM
- Might run on less efficient systems such as Core 2 Quad or XEON below 5500 depending on overall system performance and up to a certain number of instruments, but not recommended.
For larger projects:
- PC Dual Intel Quad Core XEON 5520 or better, with Vista/Windows 7 64-bit
- 24 GB RAM
Further system requirements for all setups:
Hosts Vienna Instruments exclusively,
ViennaKey (Vienna Symphonic Library protection device or other USB eLicenser) eLicenser License Control Center 5.4.18.2,
DirectX 10-capable video card with support for OpenGL 2.1,
Audio device with ASIO 2.9 compatible drivers for 64-bit systems (needs multi-client-capability if sequencer runs on the same computer),
4 GB free disk space for default RoomPack (5 Halls of the Vienna Konzerthaus). eLicenser 5.4.12.0 or higher.
Product description:
Conduct your music. Conduct your mix. Vienna MIR is the first ever whole-space mixing solution that puts real-world depth and dimension into the palm of your hand. After several years of research and development, our groundbreaking mixing and reverberation host, based on Multi-Impulse Response convolution, renders space as the unifying presence that merges every single instrument into one authentic sound experience.
In traditional production, the mixing console is a barrier between the music creator and the music environment. A skilled engineer can combine tracks and add reverb to create sonic results that are somewhere between real and surreal. But that’s not the most musical way to work.
Rather than mixing from the outside in, a Vienna MIR project starts with each individual instrument or ensemble, taking into account how sound emanates from its body, in what direction, and in relation to its position in the hall. Use the MIR Control Icon to move and rotate instruments freely on the concert stage, and change their volume and stereo width – not with two-dimensional faders and pan pots, but within a fluid three-dimensional environment. Vienna MIR combines directional and reflectional information from every instrument, assembling all of the acoustic interactions into an accurate and satisfying recreation of musicians playing their instruments in place and in space. Short of recording an orchestra on site, what could be more musical?
- Includes 5 halls of the Vienna Konzerthaus with a total of over 11,000 (!) impulse responses. More acoustic spaces will soon be offered as additional download products.
- Graphic user interface depicting 3D renderings of the selected room (venue maps) with scroll wheel zooming
- Intuitive multi-parameter Control Icon for quick interaction with instruments and visual feedback – and direct access to the connected Vienna Instrument
- Microphone Position Offset allowing for movement of virtual microphones in the room
- GUI options such as Instrument Grouping, Hide Icon, Instrument Focus
- Room EQ and Master EQ
- Pre-listening feature before selecting a room
- Character Presets (such as ‘Air’, ‘Silk’, ‘Bite’, ‘Distant’, ‘Warm’) for quick timbral changes, available for most Vienna Instruments
