Issue getting VST to work in Reaper #111

Open MusicManReturns opened 3 years ago

MusicManReturns commented 3 years ago

I've cloned the 3 listed required git repos and ran the "powershell -command "Expand-Archive -Force SharpSoundDevice\Builds\SharpSoundDevice-1.5.2.0-2019-08-11.zip LiveSPICE\SharpSoundDevice"" command but can't figure out how to get the vst plugin to work in reaper. I have tried every vst file that reaper auto detected and I'm at a loss as to what is needed. As the second block talks about building the vst plugin, I assume there's still a step I'm missing but as I've never messed with VSTs this deep, I'm at a loss and would appreciate guidance.

After you build the plugin, you need to copy every DLL in the bin\Release\net48 folder into a VST plugin search directory. Here is what the installer script does: https://github.com/dsharlet/LiveSPICE/blob/ea5812762c7125bd2b7e8c49c500aba570d9c97d/LiveSPICESetup.iss#L30

where {autopf} = C:\Program Files\

It's also possible the build is temporarily broken due to recent changes (though I did test it pretty recently and it seemed OK).

Have you tried a binary release? The installer should set things up correctly for you. Or is there another reason you are trying to build it yourself?
