Hi,
Having high expectations with the latest dBampower reference converter version I tried the VST/AU DSP plug-in integration to simplify my conversion workflow. But unfortunately, I have a strange issue with MeldaProduction MPconvolutionEZ VST3/AU on Windows and macOS. And I couldn't find any solution for it, yet.
Reduced to the simplest DSP workflow I just give different music files in different formats as input, only using the MPconvolutionEZ plug-in as VST3/AU to be converted to different formats like m4a or FLAC. Same workflow on Windows and macOS.
And here is the 100% reproducible issue.
With the batch converter I select a few files for the workflow above to be processed. After some seconds, the progress window shows the first running encodings. And after a few minutes or even seconds, some encoding processes seem to hang at roughly 99%. And the affected encoding processes become more and more, until all processes hang.
After a minute or two, the hanging seems to be gone, and the encoding resumes with further files, until all files are finished. I used around 15 files in a batch.
Here is a little difference between Windows and macOS behavior. While with macOS the processing seems to resume until the end, after a while, it hangs for ever under Windows.
But, what is the final result? After a file has been processed completely, I looked into the created files. And I was surprised. All the files have been extended by an appended silence of about 100 minutes! Music players show some 100 minutes length and the title is actually played with this length.
And this is absolutely reproducible. I also checked and tried some different settings in the plug-ins, but to no avail. Very similar behavior with Windows and macOS.
Attached you find some screenshots.
Other precessing than VST/AU seems to be fine. In combination with other audio tools the plug-ins actually do their jobs flawlessly.
So, does anyone know a workaround or the reason for this?
Thanks for any help,
Matthias
