Exactly the same situation @misio
I'm using iZotope Insight2.

foobar2000 is an audio player, not a DAW. It's highly unlikely that the internal architecture optimized for fast and efficient audio playback will be broken and changed to make VST plugins able to update their UIs in realtime. The VST support was added for audio effect supports, not for eye candy.

Yeah (I think anyone should understand that foobar2000 is not a DAW even though you can use DSPs within converter), but there is "Visualize with VST" that allows you to visualize audio with VST audio analysis plugins with minimal latency (but obviously it would not change audio output at all), which I use with AnSpec analog-style spectrum analyzer VST

Does this VST dsp work with more than stereo?
Should work. Do you know any specific VSTs that fail?

I tested  two upmix VSTs and while the gui of the VSTs shows that they work only the left and right channel is in the output.

Hello,

Same here. No signal from rear, center and LFE channels of (at least one) 5.1 upmix VST with no error reported. Upmix VST was working fine with old VST component. (Foobar 1.6.16 and VST component 0.11.7). Thanks for your work BTW.

Cheers.


I gave it a try again but the problem is still the same.  With stereo input there is only stereo output.

@Peter
thank you so much for this component, it's great.
I used to run a software crossover using the RS-MET vst in foobar for my speakers.
Unfortunately, the Channel Mixer component is not available in 64 bit, which was ideal to swap and combine channels.
It seems that the code is not available for a recompile. Could a in/out channel matrix be easily implemented into the VST adapter? Or as a separate foobar component? I have no idea how much work it would be, but it would make DSP in foobar much more flexible/

Hi,
thank you for this component, permitting use UAD VST3 plugins. The only problem is, if i use a vst3,  the lag it introduce to start the playing.

I tried that with Youlean's Loudness meter, was considering to get the pro version, but...

I tried the RC 2.5.6, 64bit, one through the DSP and another instance at the same time through the method you mentioned.

I am no longer considering to go for the pro version, because the results were conflicting to say the least... there was soooo much difference in reported values between the two methods that I don't know which one showed 'correct' numbers... even the graphs looked totally different....

And there definitely was latency through the visualization method.... at least a couple of seconds after the DSP method showed output

Got another issue(?).

Thing is I'm not sure if this is an issue or just misinterpretation on my part.



Does this override apply to what comes out of the VST, or what the VST gets to see?

If the first than it's my misunderstanding, if the latter than it's not working...

The thing is, in the old VST 2.4 Adapter (foo_vst) it allows you to specify the number of channels it should expect, or to set it to Auto...
I tried copying the config file that creates to the same folder as the VST with this component, but... no luck...

in foo_vst this VST shows a channel limiter below the caption together with an option to show the presets pane.
If I click the selected number of channels (only options are Auto,1 or 2) it shows me this popup.
I think this is generated by foo_vst, but I'm not sure...

In "Override output channels" if you do choose "5.1" instead of stereo, what happens?

I get the same error popup as shown behind the VST Effect Configuration dialog as in my previous post.
