Dennis Braunsdorf - Can Audiogridder replace Vienna Ensemble Pro?

[@shanedunne8488]

Excellent video. Very clear and concise. Thank you!

[@dennidorf]

Thank you, too!

[@chrisharrison809]

Awesome

Do you notice any differences in performance in Audio Gridder compared to VEPro? It seems VEPro cannot really utilize dual CPU mainboards.

[@hosniabouzahra]

Great video Please explain how you connect between the mac and pc, Its not working with me and i couldn’t find online how to do it. Thank you

[@tam_ryan1036]

Really useful. Thank you! I have an old pc with 32gb mem just sitting doing nothing. I was going to turn it into a Linux NAS but Windows is still on there so this will be a much better option. 😊🙏X

[@zeppo20]

It works with plugins too? I mean Eqs reverbs etc.

[@dennidorf]

Yes, it works with Eqs and reverbs, too.

I've tried Audiogridder a while ago between 2 macs (my main one and a spare one connected thru ethernet) and I was not so convinced compared to the VEP demo I got. Maybe I could do an other test. Today when I'm short on CPU and I realy want to run plugin instruments or effects on a remote machine I use an instance of Logic on each Mac with the AUnetSend and AUnetRecieve plugins. Works quite well (screen sharing, Audio/MIDI configuration, etc... you get the idea). I presume there's the equivalent in Cubase or any major DAW.

[@dennidorf]

Initially, Audiogridder didn't impress me due to the excessive loading times and playback issues I encountered; however, after restricting my setup to the BBC orchestra plugin as the only VST on my server computer, I noticed a significant enhancement in both smoothness and stability of performance.

[@FLH3official]

@@dennidorf I see. However the purpose of such system is not to resctrict our system but to expand it 😀

[@clay69]

Hi Dennis, great Video - thank you! When I tried audio grinder, "render in place" in cubase didn't work (although it does work with VE-Pro). Does it work for you?

[@dennidorf]

I tested the 'render in place' feature within my setup, and it works as expected.

[@quovadis5509]

You can also use Vienna Ensemble on instrument tracks;) It will be just be a little less efficient as when using a few instances.

[@dennidorf]

Ok, fair ;). But you will encounter interruptions or "jumps" when switching between different Vienna ensemble tracks. And it is indeed extremely inefficient.

[@soulscape5083]

I don't understand. You can make it as an instr track and create midi tracks that output to that Vienna Ens. ?

[@madworker1927]

Yes​@@soulscape5083

Ability to control the UI aside, how do these options compare to simply using the 2nd computer as a it was an external piece of hardware. Send audio to it over the network via e.g. AVB/Madi/Dante and then back to the main computer for summing. Using e.g. Apple Remote Desktop to control the plugin settings? Not as convenient, but I've got a feeling this would be better for latency and compatibility / stability.

Do u use 10 gbE switches or the standard one

[@dennidorf]

What do you mean?

[@newtension]

@@dennidorf I’m asking if you use a 10 gigabit Ethernet switch for your network between the Mac and the PC or just a standard 2.5 gigabit or whatever it maybe?

[@tam_ryan1036]

@@newtension I was hoping it might be possible to connect the server directly with a cat6 cable but I know this is not the standard.
