Faust Compilation, Getting Started ( Help Needed )

[Natan]

Hey folks,

I've just started a Faust project and I need to make sure I'm doing it correctly!

1. Adding Faust and choosing a DSP from the dropdown menu.
2. Allowing compilation.
3. Saving the network and compiling the plugin.

When I do this, it shows an error in Ableton and the plugin won't show up. Is this the correct process? Do we also need to compile as a DLL before creating the plugin?

Any help is appreciated.

"Update:

This is the process that works:

1. Place a Faust into a Chain.
2. Select a DSP from the menu.
3. Add Parameters.
4. Wrap it into the DSP network.
5. Finally, compile as a DLL.

This process works fine. I'm just testing it inside Ableton, and there are no errors!

Is this the correct way to use Faust DSP?"

@Natan yes you need to compile the DLL to use it in your finished plugin.

@Lindon So no need to compile inside a chain?
just the Saving root Chain, Then compiling as dll, and We are all set?

Why nit a Video?

@Natan so build your faust node, and if you are selecting from some list of faust code items then you should be fine - I always just take the faust code (.dsp) and build a new faust item in my project - so I always have to compile it.. .so I'm gonna say safest bet - compile your faust code.
