Audio File Plugins - 64-bit

Good day,

A few years back, I took a SynthEdit plugin and re-worked it for use in SAC. I called this plugin "Single wave File Player" or SWFP for short.

However, this is a 32-bit plugin - so no workie in SAC 64! ... Obviously!

As I have no real interest in purchasing the 64-bit version of SynthEdit, I opted to purchase the "vstPlayer" plugin from Mirax Labs.

Cost is $9.99US and the plugin is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The plugin supports multiple audio formats such as WAV, AIFF, FLAC, OGG and MP3. Mirax Labs has also just recently provided an update. No issues thus far in SAC 64-bit! Have a look-see:

I haven't tried the update yet. But it should be noted that if you are still running SAC on XP, this plugin will not work.

... May I ask what occurs?

It does not open and I believe there is an error message that appears.

Angie,

Have a look at the updated 32-bit free version and see what happens there.

Been through this already. There should be a thread about it here somewhere.
The free version works just fine. The paid version does not. I was supposed to get a refund, but never got one.

I only needed it for my traveling system which I have no plans to upgrade the OS. The studio machine has the Windows 10 OS, but I have no call for this plugin there.

Angie,

I had a "dependency issue" with the 32-bit version.

The 32-bit versions require the x86 Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, which you can obtain here ... [click_me]

This rectified the issue for me.

I currently use foobar via the AES loopback on my RME RayDAT card (or Fireface USB). I have experimented with a few vst players, but foobar is far more flexible and can be accessed via foo_httpcontrol and a browser from any network remote. What would be really cool is if foobar had an output module that was a VST plugin. Then I wouldn't even have to use up the AES loopback I/O. Foobar could just output to an unused stereo channel via the plugin. Perhaps I can suggest this in the foobar forum.

dbarrow,

Yes ... that would be a great feature set of foobar.

Perhaps Bob could write a native plugin that would show up as another output in Windows, so you could ust route foobar, or any other media player to that output. Then the plugin would playback the audio into a stereo channel, without taking up any of the hardware inputs. It could be a native plugin or a VST.

Playing back in SAC, I've had success with an asio-capable media player hooked to a loopback track. Obviously the sound card driver must support both multi client and loopback: yet another reason to check RME cards out, in case totalmix was not enough :).

My media player of choice is MediaMonkey, which I find second to none in library management and playlists. Having a standard db and scripts is often handy. This is a far cry from a vst player and is mostly free (as in free beer, not software), unless you want conditional playlists, scripts and such.

Rme loopback and Foobar with foo-http control here for break music. Use Media monkey at home solely for the sleep timer. You can set a fixed time to play, fade out and turn your pc off. Sweet dreams.......
