Hi,

Public Info:

We’ve just released and VST Live 3.0.20 and VST Live 2.2.100 !
These updates include several helpful additions as well as workflow improvements.

You can find full details and download the installers on the

Friday Release Followers

Since the initial release, we’ve added several more bug fixes.
You can find the complete and updated list here.

We’ve also introduced a small but useful feature improvement for VST Live 3:

App : Sample Rate Conversion („Performance“ and „Quality“)
The Audio Preferences now include a new option:

You can now choose which conversion mode is used.
“Performance” mode remains the default and matches the previously known behavior, while “Quality” mode offers an alternative for higher precision processing.

Finally, we would like to say thank you.

These regular Friday releases are only possible because of your continuous feedback, testing, and suggestions. Your input truly drives development forward.

Yes, we also read about the frustrations and disappointments. We are listening - and we’re doing our best to solve the remaining puzzles step by step.

Once again: thank you for your support.

See you,
Michael.

Hi @Spork ! thank you :slight_smile:

But repeating the process, no repro, but attaching the IPS indeed, maybe worth a quick look.

Upd: oh, yes… messing around a bit with VideoDirector + Monitor and Crash again:

With VL 3.0.20 I can’t play audio tracks (mp3) that were made in earlier versions.

… can you please share one with us? Drop it here or send me a PM,
Michael.

… we will check. Thank you,

I’ve figured out what it is due to. I have imported songs at different times. And since I’ve been working on different projects in the meantime, I forgot to adjust the sampling rate. Sorry if I took up your time.

hi @Ralph_Nilsson , sorry for asking back, but there is an internal non-destructive / on-the-fly sample rate converter in VL. So your files should work with “any” samplerate. But 3.0.20 contains a new preference (Pref/Audio) for sample rate conversion “quality vs lowCpu”

Can’t open any projects. VST Live 3.0.20 crashes every time I try to open one of my projects.
This is getting really annoying…

Hi @fkalmus Thanks for the info. I had imported an mp3 into a 48KHz project and then I had sound, but when I opened that project with a 44.1 KHz setting, I had no sound.

11

can you try toggle that new preference try if that is causing the problem?

12

Hi @fkalmus.
No problems switching between performance and quality, only if you open a project with the wrong sample rate.

13

Could you please try just one only thing?

dowload VST Live 3.0.19 from here:

Now

  1. go to your application folder and rename current VST Live 3 app to 3.0.20 (don’t worry)
  2. install the 3.0.19 version
  3. go to app folder and rename that to 3.0.19
  4. and test your different songs running 3.0.19 vesion
14

Hi @fkalmus Yes, now I can listen to all songs even with the settings on wrong sampling frequency.

15

@musicullum maybe? @Ralph_Nilsson then all your songs will work for now with 3.0.19, and developers can maybe check what might happened in v3.0.20 that the on-the-fly samplerate converter stopped running in your scenario.

16

@fkalmus @musicullum
It seems like it converts on import but not during playback.

We are very sorry, and working on fixing the problem right now.

Meanwhile we suggest to use version 3.0.19 instead.

18

There is no conversion with import.

We did change sample rate conversion, but all our tests went well…tried:

  • new project
  • sample rate 48k
  • import 48k audiofile
  • save, exit, start over
  • new project
  • sample rate to 44.1
  • load, play: all good

Can you let us know how to reproduce your problem?

19

What I read about the issue is with already existing projects, which contains tracks with different sample rates than project sample rate.

I think related too :sad_but_relieved_face:
