foo_vst: VST 2.4 adapter, Multi-instance, multichannel, and seamless; Now back in development Options

[Yegor]

What about no reload track switch, I'm waiting for this :D.

Here you are. The feature introduced in v0.52 ;) But don't forget it's experimental.

@Entrase: Thanks, but I hear a small click when repeatedly hitting play button, it wasn't there before IIRC.

[Yegor]

Are you sure about it? Try the same with no DSPs. The click happens when there is a difference between the last sample played (before you hit play) and the first one in the song. If it's clear that it's because of DSPs, then tell me which ones I should use to reproduce a click.

[thuan]

Sure, happened with Isone Pro, my only VST, does not happen without DSPs. You should try a quiet track like some piano and similar to easily hear the click. My output is DirectSound BTW.

EDIT: the click happens everytime I manually change track, too. I guess the reason is like what you said, but normally DirectSound suppresses it with fading.

Okay, the problem isn't with sample difference. It's about delay introduced by this plug-in. “Delay” as echo, not as latency. You can more clearly see the effect with some reverb plug-in: one gets the reverb tail at the beginning of the next track (or the current one in the replay case). It seems there is somekind of reset should be done on manual track changes. I put this in the to-do list.

What a...??

Failed to load DLL: foo_vst.dll
Reason: Неверная попытка доступа к адресу памяти.

Looks like corrupted file

[Yegor]

Rus: Неверная попытка доступа к адресу памяти = Invalid access to memory location

File is ok. Have you removed old version data as mentioned in the first post? If yes, could you please make a portable installation of fb2k to some folder and test the component there? We need first to find if it's Foobar or the OS problem. Then we will have some starting point at least.

Ignore, I missed the registry key...

thank you , very nice plugin!

[Marsu42]

thank you , very nice plugin!

I second to this: two thumbs up, especially for the nice non-modal configuration via the view->DSP menu entries :-) ... now even the people using traktor as a jukebox might try foobar again!

[larryfine]

Thank you.
Works fine with Voxengo TubeAmp, Ruby Tube, Barricade Limiter, TT Dynamic Range and others .

[Yegor]

There is update to 0.6.0. But please keep old version if it works fine for you. Don't forget it's still not very stable.

[thuan]

Thanks for the update, the click on track change seems to be fixed, but I have click when I open and close the VST config window. I'm using Isone Pro.

[Yegor]

This click is caused by the procedure of commiting new configuration to Foobar2000. VST plug-in is requested for configuration data and thus can stutter a little bit. I'll look if it can be fixed. You may try to make the output buffer size greater.

Did you have to increase declicker size to get rid of the click on track change?

I now upgrade to v6.0, used the registry cleanup file, and now no vst in the list even VST manager appears. I forget to make a backup of my old foo_vst, where i can find the old one?

Unfortunately, you've removed all entries with no chance to get them back. As for old version, I've attached it to this post.

Greater output buffer size only delays the click.

No, I didn't.

Fineprint: stuff marked as beta isn't considered to be stable.

Yegor,

I love this plugin...but I have a question. It seems that when I add "any" vst in Foobar 1.1.1 my 5.1 (6 channels) automatically reverts to a (2 channel) system? I've tried loading 1 vst or multiple it makes no difference. When I send the VST back to the inactive side of the DSP menu my 6 channels become available again.
(I am using CHANNEL MIXER) to obtain my 6 channels (5.1) but even if I take this off the active side of the DSP menu I still end up with a 2 channel setup.

I don't know a whole lot about this kind of stuff, but my sound is great with just the channel mixer. It does sound great too when I load my VST's, but I don't get the "spacial" sound that I like when it reverts to the 2 channels.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me or experience the same issues?

[Yegor]

How many inputs/outputs are in VSTs you tried?

Thanks for the old version.

[garyldavis]

Well you've just given me some help. I didn't think about I/O.

Thanks!!! We'll see what happens next.

[hidn]

must have

[garyldavis]

Well, thanks to you. It's all awesome now. Just needed to find VST with 6 or more outputs!!!

[Yegor]

0.7.0
Serious bugfixes.
Relative paths in the portable mode.

In general, it's the first version to support the portable mode. It may sound strange because fb2k provides transparent storage for its components, but in this case it's necessary to read configuration at the stage where fb2k services aren't available yet. Depending on the installation, the adapter uses either the registry or a file in the player's directory.
