mix bus / channel don't work on mac #374

Closed jamesholdenmusic closed 5 months ago

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

because airwindows vsts have different names?

@mattlinares can you confirm the possible names - look in vst manager, in the 'add new' dropdown, what are console7cascade / console7channel / console7buss called?

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

i have them listed there as au files:

Can I use those as is? Or do I need to go and get the VSTs?

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

can you get the vsts and tell me the names max gives them, then i'll make it support whatever it can find

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

and while you're at it, how about we add a folder of dependencies to install to the benny folder? if you do it i get to try merging a PR.. https://github.com/airwindows/airwindows/blob/master/LICENSE it's MIT license so he doesn't mind us bundling the vsts?

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

when you get a moment, try putting the following keys into your userconfig.json file:

"consolevsts" : {
    "bus" : "console7buss",
    "channel" : "console7channel",
    "cascade" : "console7cascade",
    "crunch" : "console7crunch"
},
mattlinares commented 5 months ago

I've tried this and it doesn't work details below. Before I say any more, just a note that I haven't added any other VST since my note in the closed ticket about not being able to find all the air window stuff on his site:

when you get a moment, try putting the following keys into your userconfig.json file:

"consolevsts" : {
  "bus" : "console7buss",
  "channel" : "console7channel",
  "cascade" : "console7cascade",
  "crunch" : "console7crunch"
},

added this as:

Which first leads to

And then Benny tries to load the project and then crashes, the report is in next message.

Benny loads normally when I remove the console VST bit from user config

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

the report is too long to paste crashreport.txt

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

there's a trailing comma on that key in your userconfig.json file? you need to obey json syntax. there's a note in the instructions about vscode having json syntax highlighting iirc, i recommend it!

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

Okay that works (I did spot the trailing comma but sublime syntax spotter didn't catch it and some systems are permissive)

Anyway, I still get this error because I think I have different air windows plug-ins to those expected by Benny or something, and I can't find the ones we need on the air window site. Is that right?

Screenshot 2024-05-28 at 10 17 30

The ones I have work for me in Ableton.

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

fyi i've tried adding console7channel to my vsts from this, listed in his sidebar, which doesn't clear the error https://www.airwindows.com/wp-content/uploads/SignedMacVSTs.dmg

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

I tried manually adding it this way too, still no luck

Screenshot 2024-05-28 at 12 06 23
jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

ah so the fact it's showing there in the vst manager means you've got it installed ok i think the error messages mean my code isn't working right - it's still trying to load the windows-named versions which is weird because if i add that key on mine it tries to load the mac-named versions have you definitely got the latest version?

yes, i pull every time

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

thanks. i've put the files from the airwindows site in the vst_dependencies folder, there are .so and .dmg files, is one of them vst? either should work anyway. delete the whole of that new key from your userconfig, it should now detect at startup that you've got a non-windows computer and prepare itself for that. the mixer blocks do seem to work on luke's mac now so i'm marking it closed?

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

try a full restart of max msp? (if it was still resident in memory it'll have kept the old settings dictionary)

also: in the console window do a search, there should be a line that reads "detected macos, noting small differences"? early in the initialisation process

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

if those ones at the top are the only ones then that's because you didn't fully restart max between attempts, no other way it could've happened. let me know when you've tried the blocks.

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

defo restarted (unless there's some hard restart option?) and get the below:

and can't remember what blocks i needed to test in what way (maybe cos this issue has become orphaned). mmmm, maybe the problem was that i couldn't record out and so needed to use bus, but... mmmm arrrr

i mean the sound's coming thru...

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

@jamesholdenmusic I'm still not sure whether this is done. The error still appears at the top of the max console, which is giving me heebie-jeebies.

the bus is actually working which i suppose means this ticket is closed, but the errors are disconcerting (e.g. maybe it's just not using the airwindows?)

Screenshot 2024-06-20 at 14 17 51

this is the only relevant vst the vst picker seems to know about:

Screenshot 2024-06-20 at 14 10 56

jamesholdenmusic commented 5 months ago

this is going to be solved via a different route - the person who made the airwindows max externals i use for dither etc is going to make the console plugins into externals too, they'll work seamlessly

for now, i'm wondering if the errors at the top are just the project trying to find all the files my copy references, in which case they'll go away when she releases the externals i mentioned

if the vst doesn't load it'll pass audio so you get my eq section but not the console sat+summing. try switching console modes (the button at the bottom of the channel that goes between channel/cascade/crunch) - if you get red error lines in the max console then it's not loading, if you don't then it's working

curious to hear outcome of that

mattlinares commented 5 months ago

I tried to switch console modes but I can't see anything that seems to match the description you've given
