Jack build doesn't seem to work anymore for me, saying Cannot connect capture (input) port. I think it's because it tries to start jackd by itself and it conflicts with pipewire's jack client.

Either that, or now it treats the inputs literarly, I used to connect the inputs to stereo tool's outputs since it was a dead source, then the input program will connect to jack sink "stereo_tool". Maybe try to add a null input.

LE: I see that the jack sink name is now called "stereo_tool_jack_gui_64_BETA1002-051" instead of "stereo_tool", unfortunately still gives no audio.

LE2: Oh, just realized, the name of the jack sink/device and settings file are taken from the filename of the binary. I tried some different combinations but it doesn't fix it. Some very faint noise appears on the visualizer when i hit play.

Hi.

I've tested out Stereotool beta 10.02-43 on an Intel MacOS 11.7.3 in Wavelab 11.1. I cant see any plugin parameters, Just a blank screen.

When I revert to the latest official release of the plugin, everything is working fine.

Does anyone know if there is a stable version of the beta for MacOS/Wavelab? I'm moving over to a MacBook Pro M2 Pro computer in a couple of weeks and it would be great to have a working version for this too.

Thanks

Hi.

I'm in the process of moving of moving over to an M2pro MacBook Pro.

I've tested the latest "Beta 10.02-051 binary Stereo Tool - macOS VST - UNIVERSAL binary (Intel/M1)" an its still doesn't work in Wavelab 11.2, now working on Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1.

I see the plugin is still VST2, is there a plan to move to VST3? Currently Wavelab only reads VST2 plugins in rosetta and not natively. Is there a plan to change to a VST3 format for Mac in the future?

Thanks

Gav

I just received a message yesterday from someone that it's also not working in Audition, which is weird (since we don't see issues on our end). So my guess at this point is that the issue that you have is probably not Wavelab related. Going to look into this next week.

About VST3: We already have a VST3 for Windows, so yes, it makes sense to have a Mac build soon as well. But we first need to make sure that everything is working again.

I had some OS issues when testing it, but the output should definitely work - I've tested it with the tone generator in the FM output. For the input I have only been able to test silence so far due to those OS issues.

The new version only starts jackd if it's not already running, so that shouldn't make any difference.

Oh, got it. The output indeed works, i can hear the beeps when deregistering, they are clear. The input and output quantum latencies seem to be OK also. In Carla it shows fine, with the faint noise on the viz when playing audio:



If you need any more debugging info I will be more than happy to provide. I think the older builds of ST were providing verbose output thru the terminal with some argument passed to them, i tried with -v and didn't get more than the standard status messages.

The audio works now, but now I hear some periodic clicks after changing diversity delay, even at 1000ms, they don't seem to go away.

LE: Changing the value a few times seems to make ST crash.
