Others not able to use compiled VST
-
So I made a VST plugin, compiled it, tested it locally, and it worked without any issue. When I sent the .VST3 file to a friend of mine so he could test it, the plugin was not receiving any audio input from the track, thus causing it to be silent. I'm not certain what the issue is given that on my machine it works without flaw. I even tried compiling it as a VST2 DLL file, which yielded the same result. It worked fine for me, but not for the person I sent it to.

@RedFireTF2 Stick with VST3. I'm assuming it's an FX plugin? Did your friend test with the same DAW and input audio that you tested with? Have you tested on other systems?
-
@d-healey Yes---the plugin is an FX (amp sim) plugin. We both were using the same DAW (Studio One 7), and were using the same VST instrument plugin. Both of us use Windows 10 and I have a way to test it on another system.

Let us know if it works.
-
@d-healey Sorry---typo, I meant to say I do NOT have a way to test it on another system.
-
@RedFireTF2 You can use a virtual machine for testing. There's not much we can do without any more information.
-
@d-healey Alright, will try that. I'll also try sending the VST to a few others I know to see if they're able to use it.
-
@d-healey The people I have sent it to have all had the same issue---no sound is being output from the VST. I haven't had an opportunity yet to set up a virtual machine to test it, but I can at least confirm that more than one person has run into this issue (also being used on different DAWs as well).
I wonder if there is somehow some sort of dependency that I have that others don't have when it comes to the VST, since it works without issue on my main PC. I'm not certain this is the case... all I know is that there is no audio being output from a track which has the VST applied, which to me suggests that there may not be any audio going into the plugin itself.
