The Vienna Symphonic Library announces the release of Vienna Ensemble Pro 8, a major update of its industry-standard network host and mixing solution, and Vienna Ensemble Pro 8V, a brand-new edition with integrated video playback over network for composers working to picture. Building on more than a decade of innovation, Vienna Ensemble Pro 8 further refines the way composers, producers, and sound designers connect their computers, virtual instruments and effects. Its intelligent performance optimizations, elegant workflow enhancements, and extended plug-in capabilities make it the most powerful and efficient version yet. Vienna Ensemble Pro 8 is currently available at an introductory price of €149 (regular price €199), while Vienna Ensemble Pro 8V is available at €299 (regular price €399). Registered users of Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 or 7 benefit from significantly reduced upgrade prices.

  • Group Edit – Synchronize mixer presets, tuning tables, and controller settings across all Vienna Synchron Player instances.
  • FX Plug-ins – Includes all Vienna Suite Pro plug-ins, plus the new Synchron Stage Reverb SO convolution reverb for world-class spatial depth.
  • Crash Protection – Prevents faulty plug-ins from blocking or interrupting template loading.
  • Activity Monitor – Detect performance issues with sortable latency and CPU load values for instances, channels, and plug-ins.
  • Plug-in Pooling – Speeds up switching between cues with similar setups by reusing loaded plug-ins for dramatically faster workflow.
  • Channel Sets – Load entire sections or custom setups from the new Channel Sets Library with a single click for fast template creation.
    And much more

For the first time, Vienna Ensemble Pro integrates video playback directly into the network workflow. Vienna Ensemble Pro 8V adds a fully integrated video engine that lets composers stream video, even from remote machines, with minimal CPU impact. Features include fluid GPU-accelerated playback, multiple timelines with individual frame rates, streamers and markers, fexible routing, audio offset and timecode controls for perfect synchronization with any DAW, and convenient export options. Vienna Ensemble Pro has become the definitive cross-platform network solution in studios and production facilities around the world, enabling users to set up multiple computer networks with both Macs and PCs, without the need of external MIDI and audio interfaces.

Even on a single computer, Vienna Ensemble Pro dramatically streamlines workflow and system performance. Its unique Preserve function keeps plug-ins and sample libraries loaded while switching between projects or DAWs, saving enormous amounts of time. Projects save and load faster, CPU and RAM resources are used more efficiently, and even huge orchestral templates remain instantly available. Users can freely disable or automate plug-ins to reclaim memory, run AU and VST plug-ins in Pro Tools, automate all parameters in stereo and surround, and take advantage of optimized multi-core performance with automatic plug-in latency compensation for greater stability and flexibility across platforms.
