I successfully loaded my IR file with the JUCE Convolution Reverb, and it works great in my standalone app. However, when I load the VST3 build into Reaper, the plugin runs, but there is no reverb; the sound is dry. Any help?
Thanks.
I know this sounds simple, but (assuming you’re on windows) make sure to right click the VST3 section in Visual Studio and build that. I have a suspicion that you’re building and running the standalone in your IDE but not building (and / or replacing) your .vst3 file
EDIT: make sure the files are all in the right place too, im not super familiar with reaper but afaik vst3 files need to be in a specific folder on windows
( C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 )
Yes, I made sure the VST3 was building. I also checked the date of the latest build and cleared the Reaper VST directory before copying, but I still encountered the same problem.
I think this is an issue with my ir file not being properly loaded in the VST3 build. I’ll keep working on it.
interesting, maybe have a look at where the file is being stored (locally on a disk, BinaryData, etc) and see if having it in a different place or building it directly into the plugin helps at all
Edit: Make sure if it is on disk, that the plugin (and host) have read permissions there, eg: it’s not located on the C: drive
Why would he need to check for that? Why would the entire C drive not be allowed to be used? There are literally millions of users out there with a single drive/partition that use Windows like that every day.
I would argue that the absolute majority of Windows users are not even aware that you can partition a drive, etc.
Pretty much every process has read access to the C drive.
The problem was definitely the reference location of the ir file for the VST3 build. It works great now! Next step will be to convert the ir file to an audiobuffer.
complete oversight on my part lol, im too used to having that be an issue for me i forgot to think about the other 98% of people
