Mutli Outputs in Vienna Ensemble Pro and Studio One 4 (using Kontakt 6)

[@PeterBatah]

Eerily similar to Cubase. Thank you for shring your time and expertise with us. Much appreciated.

Just want to say THANK YOU so much for this video! VEP setup has been kicking my butt for 2 weeks despite watching many videos. Your explanation is just so clear that I was able to get the routing right immediately. Felt a bit like climbing Everest after being stuck at Base Camp (lol) I finally submitted with your help. Sweet! 🎉

[@BearLew]

Big Thank You to you! Helped me to set up successfully

[@adownbeatexegete1549]

I really needed this for routing drums (GGD Invasion). Thank you!

[@adownbeatexegete1549]

Did you make a tutorial on how to setup audio tracks? I need to track guitars as well (distorted MIDI guitars are the only sampled instruments that don't sound real).

[@dansole5606]

Hello. Great video! at 3:33 when you are creating new outputs you mention output 1/2 gets doubled. You can prevent this by clicking on "Delete existing channels before creating new ones".

Dan Sole I realized that a couple days after I filmed this haha. Thanks so much for the comment ! 👍🏻🙏🏻

[@dansole5606]

@@bfree45 I have one for you. When you duplicate your track the duplicated track is created and the track number increases by one. For example, if you want to duplicate track 114 you click on duplicate and your next track becomes 115. Mine doesn't do that ...it stays at 114. I can have multiple tracks that are duplicated and they have the same track number. The only way for me to fix this is to open up the Inspector for each track and change the outputs near the fader. How do you have it do it automatically? Thx

@@dansole5606 I have no idea, it just works automatically for me any time I hit duplicate :/

Noice, needed a bit of a refresh 🙂

Hi there, many thanks for this tutorial. Does this work also with VSL Synchron Player? Currently i open one instrument for each MIDI track in SO. And my CPU suffers despite a good set-up. Using this technique would help?

[@bfree45]

The Synchron Player is not multi-timbral, so you can't set up multiple outputs (Like you would with Kontakt, and like I do in this video). The Synchron Player can be quite CPU heavy in Studio One, I've noticed this with Synchron Strings and Elite Strings. I load them thru VEP to alleviate this CPU stress, and it works wonders, even using VEP on only one system.

[@riberto123]

First of all thanks for the good tutorial. The following question now goes through my head: You could also assemble the same thing with individual Kontakt single instances (instead of multis) in VE Pro, right? What are the advantages of creating the VE Pro template with Kontakt Multis?

[@bfree45]

Hi, the main advantage of VEP is resource management on a single PC, and more importantly, utilizing the resources from a second PC (using a "slave" system and a "master" system connected via LAN). It also allows you to load all your sample libraries and keep them loaded as you open and close multiple DAW sessions, so every instrument doesn't have to load every time you open a new track. It saves significantly on loading time as well as CPU and RAM.

[@riberto123]

@@bfree45 I was not asking why to use VE Pro. I am asking about why to set up the Kontakt intruments (within VE Pro) as Multi instances instead single instances (within VE Pro).

[@bfree45]

@@riberto123 Because some people asked me how to do that in my last VEP tutorial

[@lascosascomosean]

Using multiple single instances of kontakt instead of multis eats more CPU. It's that simple.

I am trying to determine how in Studio One you get the Midi In 1 1, Midi In 1 2, etc. All I'm seeing is CH 1-CH 16.

[@dante2804]

Have you figured out how to do it? I'm only seeing CH-X and I don't know what I am missing.

[@draintesm]

@@dante2804 yes. You have to use the 64 bit plugin, not 32 of VEP in your DAW. The 32 bit will only allow 16 channels, while the 64 bit will have subchannels.

[@kwameryan]

@@draintesm Hi! I’m having the same problem as you in Studio One and I can’t figure out where the 64 bit plugin is and what to do differently get the 1 1, 1 2 options in the assignment dropdown. Can you help?!

[@jbsproductions1695]

I see you use different DAWS, curious your approach? I am new to film style composition but not to audio production and composition in general. I LOVE the workflow in S14 however I see a lot of people using CUBASE, curious your thoughts? Also I see a little FL Studio in there too? I own S14 PRO, CUBASE 10.5 PRO, LOGIC X, LIVE 10, REASON 11, MASCHINE as well, so I really like DAWS --lol!

[@bfree45]

I started with FL, but it got too limiting and the performance is seriously terrible with big orchestral projects. Cubase is the best at scoring to picture/video and I bought it for that and its ability to use expression maps to manage articulations... Studio One is the easiest and fastest to use, and combines the best of FL and Cubase... quick and intuitive workflow, but powerful enough for huge orchestral projects and works well at scoring to picture, plus with the drum editor you can create your own workaround for expression maps in Cubase, it actually is faster and easier to use than Cubase expression maps IMO! I still use all of them, FL for electronic, Cubase for really intensive and detailed film scoring, but Studio One for 90 percent of everything I write!
