Problems with loading VST preset file #205

Open Hecot opened 9 years ago

Hecot commented 9 years ago

I wanted to check that MW is loading the VST presets correctly so I've loaded a plug-in (tubifex.dll) to Cubase and set extreme high values to IN/Output gain to make a very well noticeable change. I've stored these setup as a preset (tubifex.vstpreset) and let the same file get processed by Cubase and then by MW.

I've started MW by this command:

Mrswatson.exe -i testtone.wav -o tubifex-MW.wav -p tubifex.dll,tubifex

preset loading

It seams MW is picking up the preset file, but when reading back both files into Cubase and compare them it is obvious that something went wrong:

preset result

The upper file is the original, the middle one is the file processed by Cubase, the lower one is processed by MW. To me it seams that MW is only using the VST default preset and not overwriting the preset as it will give the same result with or without the ",tubifex" preset load!

Any idea what could causing this?

I suspect that the audiofile WAVE support could be borked, can you try writing to PCM file (which will require converting to WAVE with sox or something like that).
