This item upgrades your MIR PRO 24 license to MIR PRO. The upgrade gives you unlimited tracks for creating full orchestral arrangements with total access to the behavior of each of the individual instruments. The difference in these types of orchestrations is incredibly authentic. Vienna’s software developers have taken the concept of convolution reverberation to the absolute authentic extreme. The application of more than 1,000 individual impulse responses (IRs) per room results in an enormous number of calculations that need a wealth of innovations to allow for flawless execution on a single 64-bit computer. But, why all the effort? Imagine the sound of a Bösendorfer Imperial Grand. Do you think it would be sufficient to record a single Middle C to make for a convincing virtual instrument? Of course not. You have to go for individual samples from as many keys as possible, sampled in as many velocities as the human ear is able to distinguish. The same is true for sampling a room. What the industry has had up to now are single samples from an acoustic entity much larger than even the biggest instruments. There’s no way you can “play” a room like that. But this is what great rooms are all about – they want to be played by musicians, conductors, arrangers, just like any other instrument. This is the reason the Vienna Symphonic Library recorded multi-samples from great musical venues. Because every room has its own voice, with its own characteristics, its imperfections – its magic. Let’s look at what happens when you place a Vienna Instrument, e.g., the solo horn, on Vienna MIR’s virtual stage of a given concert hall. First of all, the position on stage triggers the selection of one or more sets of 8 impulses (6 for horizontal directions, 2 for upward and downward directions). Equally important, the directivity characteristics of each instrument are applied before the convolution of impulses, making the result dependent on the frequency distribution and the volume an instrument is emitting in various directions. A horn, directed to the rear, obviously has a different spatial frequency profile than the frontally blaring trumpet, for example. The MIR engine calculates all of this in real-time, and what you get is what you hear – a solo horn that sounds exactly as if it were playing on that very spot on stage. Of course, you are not limited to those spots that were used for impulse recording in the first place. The Ambisonics format for our impulse responses allows for seamless interpolation of each and every point within the available areas of the room (“HotSpots”). Vienna MIR PRO will make a significant difference in the creation of your orchestral music. It elegantly solves the challenges of professional mixing by bringing together all of your instruments into one unifying space, while providing precise and intuitive control over every instrument’s position, direction, and character. With Vienna MIR PRO, if you want a great mix, all you have to do is conduct.
