You might want to make your post a bit more readable if you’re asking people to spend timing looking at it. Indent code blocks by 4 spaces for markdown to handle it correctly, and don’t use tabs!

The first thing that jumps out to me is that it appears that you are setting the size of your buffers in the processBlock. This is a big no no, you must not allocate memory inside of processBlock. Instead do this work in prepareToPlay(). Just keep in mind that you will not be able to reliably set your working buffer size to that of the number of samples of each block as this number can and will change from time to time.
