| I just committed the resurrected GUI support for VST effects. This time it's using the VeSTige VST header. I'm sure there will be issues found since there are MANY VST effects in the wild, so we might have to tweak it here and there. I was also hoping folks could give it a try and give feedback on layout and such. I have an option to add to Preferences that disables the GUI and falls back to a plain text based dialog. Doing this will allow us to get rid of the vst-bridge, while still leaving an option for VI users. Please note that this is not VSTGUI support. That's a different animal and is not needed by a VST host. The effects are looked for in the Audacity "VST", "plugins", and "plug-ins" directories. On the Mac, /Users/<user>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST and /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST are also searched. On Windows, registry key HKLM\Software\VST\VSTPluginsPath is also searched. Holler if you find something that's broken... Leland |

OK, so are we free to mention this to users the next time one complains they don't get the fancy display they were expecting in their VST effect, or that it did not work? Is the intention this will be in the 1.3.8 Release barring technical problems? > Please note that this is not VSTGUI support. That's a different > animal and is not needed by a VST host. So we are not distributing the VSTGUI code that (possibly) we could have done, or anything of Steinberg - just the reverse-engineered LMMS headers? And when we update FAQs we do not need to mention anything about "downloading the VST SDK"? And we still have a policy of pretending Beta does not exist on the FAQs on the main site, so any updates about this will only be on the version of the FAQs here: http://www.audacityteam.org/manual/index.php?title=FAQ until 1.4 comes out? > The effects are looked for in the Audacity "VST", "plugins", and > "plug-ins" directories. > > On the Mac, /Users/<user>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST and > /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST are also searched. > > On Windows, registry key HKLM\Software\VST\VSTPluginsPath is also searched. So if Windows users have plug-ins in: * The path specified by the VST_PATH environment variable, if different * C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins they will now not have their plug-ins detected, which they would have done using the vst-bridge? There are some older VST plug-ins on Mac aren't there (I forget what they are called right now). Will these still be expected to work? Thanks Gale |

Recall that we only support back to 10.3 and I'd wager that a lot of those older ones pre-date that. I will try to track some down though so we can have a definitive answer. But, if users need the older ones, then they will have to stick with the vst-bridge as I won't be adding support for them in the tree. Leland |

| I had the same problem and couldn't figure out the 'right' solution so I swapped 'LSTATUS' to 'LONG' and it worked. A missing 'include'? I've had some success and have seen the 'GUI' interface on two VST thing so far (TAL Phaser and Flanger) but the normal 'sliders' on others (Freeverb). Nice one, Leland!

Some VST effects don't provide a GUI, so the normal slider dialog will be display instead. But, they aren't quite normal if you happen upon the right effects, like the MDA ones. You'll notice that there's a little more information along the right side after the sliders. These values are supplied by the effect, so can contain words in addition to number. This was not possible when using the vst-bridge. Leland |

Leland, having tried the GSnap VST for Windows (see the thread about AutoTalent), I find that GSnap has two entries in the Effect menu (whether VST GUI mode is on or not), if vst-bridge.dll is in the Plug-Ins folder. Was this expected? One Gsnap entry says just "GSnap" (this is the one added when the bridge is present - it's tabular, with the crippled functionality we're used to, and appears irrespective of mode). The other entry says "GVST:GSnap" and has the GUI when GUI is enabled, and a more functional tabular interface when it isn't. Most other VST's I tried before now (for example the Kjaerhus Classic series) just appear once whether the bridge is present or not. These ones have no prefix and colon in the name. I think this may be something of an issue if people install 2.0 into C:\Program Files\Audacity so keeping the bridge in their Plug-Ins folder. I "think" the plan is the default installation folder will be C:\Program Files\Audacity (Unicode) for the Unicode 2.0 release. Can/should we suppress the duplicate instances when the bridge is present? Or could the installer look for and remove the bridge from C:\Program Files\Audacity\Plug-Ins? That may not be appreciated if people are trying 2.0 out installed into another folder.

There are other bridges which run the plug-in under wine to try and enable the use of windows VST plug-ins under Linux, but they aren't relevant to this debate. So it may not need a platform check given that the bridge should never show up on Linux. Richard |

A user has reported this package: http://antress.webng.com/ I tried "ModernBooster" and "ModernDeEsser" and they both crashed on Preview and applying the Effect.

With a real mouse if I click repeatedly until I get tired I can manage to increment the counters by 1. The control only appears as a white push button type of control for me. This is on XP and Vista. Also I note that when you drag the dB controls, the hand cursor disappears so you can't see what you are doing (real and emulated mouse). Gale |

How does it work - does it depend where you click to make it increment the counter up or down? Gale |

Hi Leland, After updating to your second VST fix, those two Antress plug-ins preview and apply the effect fine, and the B/W controls are now draggable to increment the counter, even with the mouse emulator. That certainly didn't work before, which was why I thought you had to click in a particular place. I'll let the complainant know and report back if he finds problems with any of the other plug-ins in that collection. Thanks Gale |
