Convolution no embedding

Jay

The Convolution reverb is not embedding the AudioFiles impulses response into the plugin

orange

@Jay Activate the "Embed Audio Files" in the Preferences menu. Then compile the plugin, it will work. Also be sure that your IR and audio files in the "Audio" folder of your HISE project location.

Jay

it is activate it and the IR are in the audio folder.

@Jay I think this was discussed recently. Check the search real quick.

@Jay said in Convolution no embedding:

it is activate it and the IR are in the audio folder.

I had same error with graphic files I changed on work in progress and @Christoph-Hart replied me to click on the command "Export Pooled Files to Binary Resources" in the Export voice menu and it works.

Lindon

OK I'm now having this problem with IR's.....

I've set "Embed Audio Files" to ON in the preferences,

and I've pressed: "Export Pooled Files to Binary Resources"

I note HISE telling me this in the console when I do this step;

I've reinstalled the program too (tho I cant see how that would help things..) so I', So now I'm a bit stuck, and this is getting urgent...

All help appreciated.

d.healey

You need to have Engine.loadAudioFilesIntoPool(); in on init.

Lindon

@d-healey -- oh LOONG since had that:

Engine.loadAudioFilesIntoPool();

-- in dfact I think theres a compile check these days that issues a warning if you dont have this..

Lindon

@Lindon Right well Now the problem is:

The stand alone starts OK - and runs fine - except:

The reverb isnt working at all,

Still... when I select a new IR then SOME of them DONT report an error - tho they are not having any effect in the instrument, and SOME of them report "not embeded properly"

Heres my combo box code:

inline function onReverbMenuControl(component, value)
{
	//Change the IRs..
	switch(value){
         case 1:
                    ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Bottle Hall.wav");
                    break;
         case 2:
                    ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}Conic Long Echo Hall.wav");
                    break;
         case 3:
                    ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}CUSTOM spatial plate.wav");
                    break;
         case 4:
                    ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}CUSTOM_dream hall.wav");
                    break;
         case 5:
                    ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}CUSTOM_gen rhall.wav");
                    break;
         case 6:

@Lindon ....and NOW.....

it seems some are loading and working correctly and some are reporting "not embeded "

Lindon

@Lindon perhaps its something IN the Audio file that is stopping it embeding properly - whats the format requirements for IRs?

Lindon

@Lindon swell they are all 16 bit 44.1 Khz sample rate so thats not it... any help?

Lindon

Right, found it:

So for those in a similar situation:

Here's the name of one of my IR files:

LIVE hot plate.WAV

Here's the piece of code that loads it:

ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}LIVE hot plate.wav");

this loads and plays nicely in HISE, but will not load in a compiled app...

Perhaps you can quickly spot where I've made a mistake...It took me all morning...

yes this

LIVE hot plate.WAV

is NOT this:

LIVE hot plate.wav

--- as far as the HISE application is concerned the case of the file extension is unimportant, but as far as a compiled app is concerned - it IS important.

So leaving my file named:

LIVE hot plate.WAV

and changing my code to read:

ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}LIVE hot plate.WAV");

Means it all works correctly.

So my request:

@Christoph-Hart - can we please have case sensitivity parity between HISE and the things made in HISE.....

Christoph Hart

Hmm, the problem is that I am just passing the file path to the OS methods and Windows doesn't care about uppercase, but macOS does (in a compiled plugin it is case sensitive on both OS because it uses the path as normal string key to a hash map). I have no idea how to validate the case sensitivity for file paths on Windows without bad hacks, so this is a classic case of "watch out during development".

Lindon

@Christoph-Hart OK, understood, but perhaps we could have a warning?

Christoph Hart

but how should I do that? You pass a string to a OS call and get a file handle back. I would have to then query the filename from the handle and match it with the input, which is really hacky and adds performance overhead for 0.00001% of all cases where somebody makes a case mistake.
