I have a plugin with the following I/O processing capabilities:
mono in → mono out
mono in → stereo out
stereo in → stereo out
5.1 in → 5.1 out
What is the preferred way to initialize the plugin for this set of combinations? When I use the following:
addAudioInput(STR16(“Mono Input”), SpeakerArr::kMono);
addAudioInput(STR16(“Stereo Input”), SpeakerArr::kStereo);
addAudioInput(STR16(“5p1 Input”), SpeakerArr::k51);
addAudioOutput(STR16(“Mono Output”), SpeakerArr::kMono);
addAudioOutput(STR16(“Stereo Output”), SpeakerArr::kStereo);
addAudioOutput(STR16(“5p1 Output”), SpeakerArr::k51);
the routing table in Reaper shows this for a stereo audio file that the plugin is processing:
Is there a best-practice rule for setting up the I/O for this kind of multi-capable plugin? Or is the above code proper and the Reaper user will need to be diligent when setting up the plugin? I think the above code is indeed proper, but wanted to know if there was a preferred ordering of the I/O function calls.
Thanks,
- Will
