@David-Healey ah ok.

im guessing after ableton, logic, cubase, and reaper--
fl studio and studio one are the next 2 you should test with.

and looks like a fl studio trial can test thirdparty plugins, but studio one you woudd need a pro license or subscription. But I havent tried those 2 so I could be wrong.

and of course pro tools if you are doing AAX.

@David-Healey said in Testing before release:

Qtractor, Ardour,

wow, ive never even heard of these two.

@dannytaurus

Is there an affordable way to test all the different DAWS without having to spend all out on the pro versions?

I currently have logic and bitwig, and then some versions of cubase and ableton lite for testing, and of course reaper.

But the other daws I dont own. Do you use demo versions on each operating system to test?

The amount of permutations with vst, audio unit, DAW and operating system is overwhelming to say the least.

I use pluginval as well but im not sure if thats completely realiable.

@jeffd
ok that was my problem.
i needed to set the array for the channelIndexes

@jeffd ah that just changes the meters to 2 columns for stereo

@d-healey

i had Channelndexes set to null.
the docs say Set to [0,1] for stereo.
so changed that to 1 but didnt make a difference.

also..i cant figure out what the "Index" is?
tried using just 1 and doesnt do anything different.

anything look strange here?

hold on let me try [0,1]

@d-healey got it working!

@d-healey
isnt the link file going to be located in a different location for each operating system?

Is there documentation somewhere on how to get HISE to find the path in the operating system?

@d-healey can i delete the link file via a script?
not sure i understand.

@d-healey

@jeffd still didnt work though after fixing the typo

@ustk ah
thanks!

I have these extra definitions in place in the settings menu:

ENABLE_PEAK_METERS_FOR_GAIN_EFFECT=1
ENABLE_ALL_PEAKS_METERS=1

but the compiled plugin still does not show the meters moving / rendering.
it does work in the HISE workspace.

are there other definitions to get the animated meters to work?

@jeffd ```
so I created a button to reset the sample folder for the user,
but it doesnt retrigger a reset for the compiled plugin. I dont get any scripting errors in HISE but I am missing something.
what could be wrong here?

code_text

inline function onResetBtn(control, value)
{
    if(value) // button is pressed
    {
        // This clears the sample folder setting
        Settings.setSampleFolder("");

        
        Console.print("Sample folder has been reset. The plugin will ask for a new folder next time.");
        
        
        Engine.showMessageBox("info", "Please restart the plugin or reload it to set a new sample folder.", "OK");
    }
}
ResetBtn.setControlCallback(onResetBtn);

@d-heale
ok let me try it.
thanks

@d-healey

Where in the scripting API is the link file in the app data folder referenced?
If one wanted to create a button to reset the sample folder for the user if they decided to move the samples.

@d-healey said in method to reset file name token parser?:

they are multi mic

yeah they are multi mic.
i think everything is workin now though.

i had a typo in one set of samples where i put 2 underscores together instead of one for the separator. didnt realize it, and it was screwing up the token parser.

but Still crashing when i throw in samples at times so i still gotta figure out whats wrong.
sometimes it has been the file length, they all need to be exactly the same length.

is there a way to to reset file name token parser?

Its crashing now when i import samples and I need to reset the string order and property value.

@d-healey
all working now..
i think i still had audio at the end of the samples from before because i was using a limiter when i exported the audio file with the fade...im assuming it still pulled up the audio in the sample after the fade.
i just couldnt hear it.
