Haha.. I also use PT and Apollo

But I did test it without the Apollo, but it didn't change anything.

I write pop and R&B songs. I want to use, maybe at most, 3 or 4 instances of Kontakt, Omnisphere and Keyscape. That's about it.

I know a lot of users sing VEP's praises, but it's easier for me to use VI's in Ableton or Studio One and export the audio to Pro Tools.

That said, if someone could show me a "regular Joe" tutorial, I'd be invested in using it again.

Yeah it can be somewhat daunting to use but once you take the time and you create some templates, its as easy as using a plug-in inside the DAW.

It's interesting to know how back in the day of hardware Samplers ( I am talking stacks of Akai,Roland and Emu Samplers), you would load up all the samplers for a film score and leave the racks powered on for the length of the project. It could literary take a day loading all the orchestral samples in to each sampler. But once it was all there it was easy to just switch cues and not having to reload samples for each one. VEP pretty much works the same way with even larger sample libraries and can be shut down at the end of the day to be recalled for the next session (still can take up to an hour to load all samples back in!)

I am using one, and it is finally working on Apple Silicon also.

Thanks. I just reinstalled it. I'll have to dig in again. I never know if I should make one VI per server instance, or multiple VI's per instance. It can get real confusing real fast.

Thank you!

I've been working with Vepro for a couple of days now. This is a huge gamechanger for me. I can actually use all my libraries and at the same time (!). It's intuitive and straightforward to understand.

Thank you for this advice.

Btw, funny thing, my expertplus Avid support just answered my case (after 4 days) and told me to trash the pref files. Oh.My.God. (Insert Chandler Bings girlfriends voice - yes, I'm that old).

Cheers from Copenhagen

Well, using VEP is not so complicated, you should try again, just watch the basic tutorials for what you want to do.Use Instrument tracks instead of midi tracks so that you can commit all your midi in audio when you're finished with midi editing.In my opinion VEP/Protools combo is far more easier than exporting stuff from another Daw, plus you keep both audio and midi data in your session....
