HISE 3 and up wont open for me

[d.healey]

@BWSounds How many versions of the HISE source are on your system? Do you get any errors when you run the debug build in Visual Studio?

[BWSounds]

@d-healey ahh as of now prob 15...
I know where this is going..
let me clean up

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
I cleared everything and was able to get the standalone to work but not the plugin version of HISE...

It's still crashes as soon as it opens.. I like using the plugin version because it makes coding a fx plugin easier..

No errors on the debug

[d.healey]

@BWSounds What does pluginval say?

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
I dont know what that is, i'll look it up.

[d.healey]

@BWSounds It's a plugin validation tool, made by the guy behind JUCE. Very useful - https://github.com/Tracktion/pluginval/

@d-healey
humm it says

@BWSounds Which DAW are you testing with?

[BWSounds]

@d-healey FL Studio, which is the same DAW I've been using with HISE for the last couple yrs

[d.healey]

@BWSounds

FL Studio

Of course it is, whenever there is an issue FL studio isn't far away :p

Try Reaper or some other DAW to see if you've hit a unique FL studio problem.

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
haha It's causing Reaper to freeze up :/

[d.healey]

@BWSounds That's good, it means it's not an FL studio issue. So in pluginval, if you click on the console button after the test is complete, do you see any errors?

[BWSounds]

@d-healey dont believe so

Only thing that stands out to me is you compiled it as a VST2 instead of 3. Does FL Studio not support VST3?

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
ahh that was it, thank you sir.

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
but now im not getting any sound from HISE..

[d.healey]

@BWSounds Test in Reaper?

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
Yes, no sound.

[d.healey]

@BWSounds Did you compile it as an effect instead of an instrument (I'm not sure if that's possible actually...)

[BWSounds]

@d-healey
Nope, compiled as instrument :/
