Similarly, having nine licenses, upgrading 45 euros each....so like 400+ euros....for a version with no announced features, from a v6 that has a fair bit of instability with Nuendo....
Pass. Hard pass.

You need an eLicenser for each computer that runs a VEPro Server Instance and a license for each one. You pay 195€ (preorder: 145€) for the first license and 65€ for every additional license.If I have more than one machine (master/slave configuration) do I need to buy a license/elicenser for each? I am debating building one very powerful machine or going with multiple computers.
I'm curious to know what are the other improvements that VE-Pro 7 offers compared to VE-Pro 6 besides the integrated FX, and Epic Orch. 2.0 ?
Nobody yet knows.
Indeed, a surprising number of definitive negative comments here, given that the feature set hasn't even been announced yet. The pre-order price, I can only presume, will not end before we know what's actually in it.
I'm similarly underwhelmed by Epic Orchestra 2.0, X, but I'm not sure why you say that the greatest feature will be "works with the current OS". We just don't know what the features are yet. I've discussed all the automation / disabling options that could be workflow-transforming - if implemented well enough, it could well (ironically) kiss goodbye to slaves for a great many people as disabling is such a potentially killer feature - the devil as always is in the detail. Great idea above from Ben about having instrument racks. Who knows... that's my point really. I'm very much in a holding pattern at the moment.
[BTW - mods, isn't it worth merging these two VE Pro threads?]
VE Pro 6 has poor stability overall.
I have used it for both Mac and PC and it has been very stable. When it has crashed it has always been a Kontakt issue upon investigation.
Thanks for reminding me. I don't think I've quit or closed a session with VEPro for the last YEAR that DOESN'T crash VE Pro. I have to reboot VE Pro enough while I'm working that it doesn't surprise me anymore. But I remember going from VE Pro 5 to 6 and being shocked by the crashing while closing, now it's the norm. This is not a Kontakt issue Asher, it's true whether I use only Play, Synth plugins, or anything else.Not seeing many other DAWS or hosts with the same rate of issues though and the crashes I get are fairly persistent, usually on quitting. I know there's a fair amount of buck passing going on here, when there's a grey area as to what's causing what bug, and some bugs are interactions and at the point many devs point the finger at the other side of the interaction....but still, whilst I take your point......
......this is a crappy way to treat users of their software with multiple licenses, and even anybody who just had the three licenses....having to upgrade them individually. They're offering (for me) a 400+ Euro upgrade for....zero announced features. I mean, come on.

This. Closing and opening, disconnecting and connecting sessions is a minefield.
Of late, Cubase is crashing on me when closing, too. Makes me wonder if it's a common VST plug-in that's responsible.
