Vienna MIR Synchron Technology

Vienna MIR Synchron Technology is based on Vienna Symphonic Library’s groundbreaking Vienna MIR Pro 3D reverberation and mixing application. The Multi-Impulse Response Convolution engine is able to reproduce an absolutely authentic rendering of any audio signal playing on a certain position in a virtual room. It merges all signals into one unifying homogenous space with accurate spatial perception.

Capturing rooms such as concert halls, scoring stages and churches for MIR is an art in itself, and the Vienna Symphonic Library team has over ten years of experience doing so. Consequently, the Main Hall of Vienna Synchron Stage is also available as an exact virtual representation in the recording and mixing systems of both Control Rooms. This unique feature allows for seamless integration of instruments recorded at iso booths or any other prepared audio signal (instruments, electronic sounds, you name it) to be placed in an exact position on the floor of Stage A.

As an example, pre-recorded electronic sounds and synthesizers will blend with the orchestra seamlessly by acoustically placing them right among the musicians.

Another example showcases the combination of Stage A and an iso booth with the Vienna MIR software: The harp that is recorded in an iso booth simultaneously with the orchestra can be acoustically placed in its perfect position in the virtual version of Stage A, on the left or on the right side, for instance.

Please listen for yourself and compare the recordings below.

  1. The rather dry signal of the harp recorded in an iso booth.
  2. The same recording of the harp playing in the iso booth, virtually placed on Stage A using the Vienna MIR software, positioned on the left.
  3. Same as 2., positioned on the right.
  4. The real recording of the harp playing on Stage A, on the left.
  5. The real recording of the harp playing on Stage A, on the right.
