Convolution no embedding

[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:
                    ConvolutionReverb1.setFile("{PROJECT_FOLDER}CUSTOM_museum hall.wav");
                    break;

@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.
