"Hi Dane,
I have two computers dedicated to music production in my studio. Both identical machines, one is my DAW, the other is dedicated solely to the VSL library. I installed the Vienna Assistant on my DAW because the DAW is connected online. The…"

"I received a reply on the forum.
One thing became apparent. From Vienna Assistant you MUST download/install everything on your 'Not INstalled' list.
It seemed to work after that, so far as converting the old VI player went. It's done them all.
But…"

"Dane I've emailed VSL help twice in the past and once got a quick and helpful answer; worth a try I guess although they're probably pretty busy these days. (My unanswered question to VSL was a request for a manual for the now outmoded original…"
"I'd post on the VSL forum. VSL checks them often and others might be having the same issue. Their tech support is pretty good and they are fairly prompt at fixing bugs.

"Hi Jerry,
I have only one synchron instrument - the Organ with its special plyer. I didn't get on with it, preferring the VI version which, with the pro player, let me set up registrations I wanted. So although I have that synchron it isn't used in…"

"Sorry to hear that you're having problems with converting to iLok. I wonder if it's the Synchron libraries that are the problem. I only use the VI Symphonic Cube, along with the VI solo and Appassionata strings and the VI Chorus. I had a few…"
"Not all is well with the conversion.
I'm awaiting a response on the forum to a new problem that hit me last night. "

"The thing that puts me off Synchron - it's something I have to confirm with VSL - is that I can't place instruments where I want them. Does it really matter? Sometimes, yes, with ensembles.
I've also since had trouble with the changeover.

"VSL is fully committed to Synchron although there are still plenty of VI enthusiasts left. Some patch crossfading and similar features from VI Pro, I've never used much anyway. Symphonic Riot have done decent presets for VI but I still prefer my own…"
"Dane I'm glad you got it done and it went 'ok'. VSL is throwing out offers to lure people into committing to the transition to iLok and I think the Synchron format also. Todays's email has a Synchron package at what seems like an attractive…"
"I find it absurd that VSL can't simply transfer the licenses without necessitating downloading all the software again.I'm going to hold onto my eLicenser until the insurance expires if possible --early next year, I think. In the meantime I have…"
"If that was in the Iron Age, it would be quite Ironic......"
"For all that, it went fairly smoothly. I was looking forward to the transition much as I might a decent toothache.
VSL has fleshed out the stages pretty well and the transfer of licences to the ilok key took about half an hour including activation…"

"Hi Ingo,
Sorry about my late reply - a partial reply really as I haven't been through the whole score yet.
The first things I notice are that the woodwind need upping a bit. The oboe in bar 1 which implies important harmonic information is too quiet…"

"Hi, Jerry,
I listened to both versions. For a start I have nothing critical to say about the music which is finished if it's alreadu on albums. Production values are up to your normal standard; balance is excellent so it the flow of the music.
Hard…"

Incidentally, I see you live in southern England (why I thought you were American I really don't know). I live in Hampshire, where do you live if you don't mind me asking?
You are very encouraging with your comments about others' work (including mine) - I wish I had the same facility as sometimes I think I come across as somewhat unsympathetically critical.
Best regards,
Stephen
Hi Dane,
I see from one of the threads that you compose on paper and don't know how to produce PDFs. If it helps, my printer has the facility to copy and save as a PDF - the printer itself wasn't expensive (around $100) but the ink refills admittedly cost a small fortune. You might consider shopping around and buying something similar.
All the best,
Stephen
