Still regarding the audio conversion bug that no longer works, as I mentioned in a post last week, I converted everything to 48 bit and everything seemed to work, although there are some tracks that I don’t understand why are “sizzling” in the background, which despite the conversion doesn’t work properly. I hope it gets fixed soon. Thanks.
Not quite sure what to fix? If you converted everything to the project (audio device) sample rate externally, VST Live just plays back the file w/o any conversion, it will not add or change anything (except of course plugins following).
Let me try to explain differently. Before version 20, I’ll start by saying that everything worked without any audio issues. Now I had a problem with the live performance, so I converted to 48 bit, and so far, everything’s fine; the files that didn’t play before now do.
But I encountered a problem on Mac that deserves further investigation. I’ve had no problems with the same project on Windows (same sound card, same system); the same project loaded on my laptop for the live performances, which is a Mac, with the same hardware connected to Windows, results in a background hum in the converted tracks. If I mute the converted tracks, it’s gone. So, I’m asking you for a more detailed explanation of the Mac. I encountered this issue last night. Both systems are version 22.
Then there are 2 questions: a) what did you do the conversion with and b) what if you play the wav file with OS player or browser, is the hum in there (on one, or both OS)? If not, it is either a routing, plugin, or hardware problem.

As I’ve already written, the project is a single one, and on Mac only some of the converted tracks have a digital hum noise in the background, while the same project on Windows does not. The playback hardware is the same on both Windows and Mac. I repeat that there is definitely some problem that needs to be investigated because before the bug, I never had these problems. If I play the single file, it doesn’t cause any problems in Windows or Mac. The problem only occurs with VST and on Mac.
Could you send us an audio file exposing this noise on the Mac? What if you export a short snippet when you hear the hum, does the exported file (when played back with standard hardware or other Computer, not your test environbment)?
Hi, so as I was saying, the same project installed on Windows doesn’t produce the hum. If I launch the file on a Mac and play it on iTunes, it doesn’t have the problem, only when it’s played back from VSTlive. The strange thing is that the same version on Windows doesn’t have the problem, and the sound card playing it is the same for both Windows and Mac. Keep in mind, as I was saying, that before the sample rate issue, I never encountered this type of problem, but that noise is definitely a “digital” thing. The environment isn’t a test environment, it’s my live environment, which has been consolidated for 3 years now. If it helps, the problem is with the AIF files, not the WAV files. Only with them.
tried aif files 44.1 and 48 kHz, no problems.
Are you sure that the problem exposes when you create an empty project and drag your file in there? If so, pls send a sample file, we can’t reproduce wav or aif at any rate. This is on Windows, though, will check Mac later.
Attention: I have not modified the project, that is, I only converted the audio files from the VSTLIVE audio folder, so I did not drag anything into the project, which is 3 years old, I only converted and in Windows, as I told you, no problem, it works very well, the same VSTLIVE folder placed on MAC, everything works except the aif files that have that background hum and only for the converted ones.
But you need to check it w/o all the other assets to narrow the cause. Or send your entire project, or try to narrow yourself, as we always do: remove tracks, changed? Remove whatever else etc. Everything else is wild guessing.
Yes, Mac only, understood.
Ok,
I’m doing some tests tonight to limit the perimeter
