It's a pity I can't compare it to the MIR Pro 3D since I deleted the old MIR Pro, but in my experience it feels cleaner and in multichannel MIR Pro 3D works much better than the MIR Pro.

They're actually quite easy to compare: as long as you don't change any parameters, a project created with the old MIR Pro will sound 99.5% identical in MIR 3D. That sounds easier than it was - we spent a ridiculous amount of time on the seemingly trivial task of making the new engine compatible with existing setups to ensure as seamless a transition as possible. - So the "feels cleaner" part of your message is almost certainly just imagination :-) Things take a completely different turn once you start using the HOA-specific features of the audio engine, especially downmixes of "Sphere"-based decodings.

And the second half of your sentence couldn't be more true: MIR Pro 3D sounds noticeably better in surround and 3D than its trusty old predecessor.

Enjoy!
 
May I ask for an opinion?

If Special Edition Vol. 1 is my only library from VSL at the moment, and I'm considering either Vol. 1+ or Vol. 2, which would people in this thread recommend more?

Or should I save up for a different option from VSL in the long run? I do like how lightweight the SE line is, given that I'm on a fairly underpowered computer, but sometimes I worry about if I'm missing out from too much out of the non-SE Synchron-ized libraries that way.

I find SYzd SE 1/1+ a compact package that may live alone without many problems. There are the basics, some advanced articulations, and some of the missing instruments can be simulated by editing the key range.

I would go for SE 1+ and then expand with more complete instruments when needed. Or, if you like to stay light, you can check the other SE libraries.

Ask yourself: would you like to have access to more instruments? Or do you want or need more articulations because you feel you’re missing them when using your current samples?

I think, personally, I’d go for Volume 2 first. But a lot of that has to do with personal preference.

I have quite a few Synchron libraries, including the BBO range, and still also own and like the Synchronized Special Editions very much. I have volumes 1, 2, 4 and 5 but am planning to expand into the bundle as soon as VSL runs a good sale on them. Like you I quite like the agility and CPU / ssd footprint of them!

Listen to this man, he knows his VSL.
 
Hi VSL Fans,

So, now that MIR-Pro 3D is released. What do you think VSL is cooking for us next ?

I hope it's not another Piano, or Organ :laugh:

VSL Synchron Solo Strings would be my wish, but if that's not it, I wonder what it's going to be ?

Baroque ensemble recorded in actual baroque pitch on Silent Stage. That's the dream.

Ooooh , I would love that. But I don't think it's their next release. Even a Baroque Ensemble in Synchron Stage would be awesome, using Period Instruments, Gut Strings. @ a=415 , but can be pitched to modern pitch a=440 as well.

I would also love to see a Synchron Harpsichord/s library to go along.
 
I think it's been a while that they've released a Synchron strings library, so my guess is they will release another strings library soon, probably stage A, but I'm personally not rooting for Synchron Solo Strings. I think I would prefer a Sordino Elite Strings release, if it would turn out to be not too expensive. A Choir release would also have my interest, but not much else would. I already have what I feel is still missing from other vendors and from the Synchron-ized versions. Afterall I'm just an amateur and doubling the small fortune I've already spent on VSL in the coming years to keep my Synchron collection more or less complete wouldn't make sense at all.
 
I'm waiting for Zodiac Full library and Ethnic Instruments (on Stage A please))). Solo Synchron Voices would be nice too as well as Synchron Choir obviously! Synchron Solo Strings! Jazz solo instruments/Ensembles! Also I bet analog synths on Stage A would sound awesome though it might be blasphemy for VSL core philosophy))
