The Vienna Symphonic Library has announced the release of a major update of its industry-standard network host and mixing solution.
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.

VSL has also introduced Vienna Ensemble Pro 8V, a brand-new edition with integrated video playback over network for composers working to picture.
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, flexible routing, audio offset and timecode controls for perfect synchronization with any DAW, and convenient export options.
Vienna Ensemble Pro 8 is currently available at an introductory price of $167 USD (regular $223 USD), while Vienna Ensemble Pro 8V is available at $335 USD (regular $447 USD). Registered users of Vienna Ensemble Pro 6 or 7 benefit from significantly reduced upgrade prices.
The offer is available at the VSL store and from distributors such as Best Service.
