WELCOME
Congratulations on your selection of the Virtual Acoustic Environments (VAE) system
and welcome to a world of possibilities and inspiration. With this equipment you have
enabled your music practice room to become the ultimate in rehearsal rooms. From a
small recital room to a large auditorium or even a spacious cathedral, you can practice
your musical talents in a wide variety of virtual performance spaces. With the push of
a button, the VAE allows you to change your practice space into a wide variety of “live”
performance spaces. The VAE system also allows you to capture and record your prac-
tice sessions giving you instant feedback on your performance.
Musicians know that the acoustic space you play in affects the feel of a performance
and that musical cues from the sound of their instrument in that space are an impor-
tant part of optimizing the timing and feel of a performance. With the VAE Virtual
Practice Room system you have full control of the acoustic space giving you the ability
to match the sound of the space to your acoustic needs. This flexibility and the excite-
ment it generates leads to motivation and inspiration in any musician.
It has been said that “each musician is their own worst critic”. The ability to instantly
hear back your practice session or performance is an important self-motivating tool
for any musician to improve their capabilities. The session recording capabilities of the
VAE system give you an easy way to record and play back your practice sessions. With
the capability to record up to nine sessions and a simple user control interface that
includes Record, Stop, Play, Fast Forward, and Rewind and a display showing the cur-
rent session number and playback time, you have a complete self-critiquing solution
at your fingertips.
After you have captured your performance you may download a copy of the sound file
to your own personal computer through the USB port.
There is truly nothing like the VAE system in creating the optimal practice environment
for musicians and giving them the tools they need to get the most from their practice
sessions.
