smallstonefan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I am very happy with this switch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott H Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I might actually now consider VSL products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simeon Amburgey Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I converted all of my existing VSL licensed to iLok and have started downloading the libraries. It was a very smooth process, and the new Vienna Download Manager is really nice. You just have to remove your previous e-Licensor libraries and re-download them again through the new manager. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Yea! I get a USB port freed!!! All cause I bought "Whistler", my only VSL library. Edited March 18, 2022 by PhonoBrainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olong Johnson Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) This is great for anyone just getting into VSL. For someone like me with a 400GB VSL library this is nothing but a chore having to redownload everything again. I'll be keeping the dongle.

The positive side is their protection plan for broken elicenser is now gone. I have 3 machines with all different VSL licenses. Unfortunately I'm one iLok short.

Yan Filiatrault Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I have no VSL products yet. I have only one computer, but I’m considering getting VE Pro 7. Anyone has it? From my understanding, it’s possible to work on the same project on many DAW’s at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 As I said with Cubase.........scrapping the dongle opens the door to the 'possibility' we could go to a subscription option. Frankly in this case if the price was right I might do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 FYI hang on to your eLicenser if you plan on opening any older projects. Once opened you can then save them to use with iLok, @Yan Filiatrault VEP7 is typically placed on your master computer to offload samples to servers. You can use it on only one computer & it will usually result in some efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone has it? From my understanding, it’s possible to work on the same project on many DAW’s at the same time? I have it, and currently use a two computer setup. I built myself a brand new i9 uber-machine this past spring, and re-tasked my previous DAW as a VE Pro 7 server so that it could run some of the instruments in my orchestral template. It's not a bad way to go, although I haven't found VE Pro to be seamless or completely stable. When it works, it works really well. But I've had a few issues with my main DAW not being able to find or reconnect to the VE Pro server when I load up a project; the VE Pro server will occasionally start CPU spiking for no reason I can figure out and I have to close and reload the server instruments. Stuff like that. There are work-arounds for it all, but it can be a bit annoying. But if you're running a big template of high-end libraries, it's nice to be able to offload some of the processing.

Hidden Symmetry Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 As I said you can use it on one computer. Latency will depend on your build, sample rate-plugins used stc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amicus717 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Just now, Zo said: SO you need too computer ? To take full advantage or is it optionnal ? no latency bewteen both ? I've seen demonstrations where a CPU-eating library will run more efficiently in VE Pro on the same computer, than within the DAW directly. I'll have to dig around YouTube and see if I can find it. As for latency, I don't find a noticeable difference between the libraries running on my main DAW and the ones running on the VE Pro server. Although I should mention that I tend to run things at a larger block size and higher latency simply because I use a pretty big template and I've gotten pretty used to playing with 11ms latency (and higher). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you right , i recal some saying that it wasmore efficient .... giving your signature , i do think your main desktop should be more than enougth ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, my main machine is something of a beast It's great. But I've got a couple of orchestral templates that are HUGE, and it made sense to farm out some of the libraries. Also, frankly it was fun to setup and experiment with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The iLok registration codes are there but if you copy and paste them they don't work and not fill all of the spaces. Don't ditch that elicneser yet.
