You can enable/disable VST in BA1, either by pressing the “button” or sending the web interface a cURL command in a batch file.
But there seems to be no way to enable/disable the VSTs separately, or will this work somehow?
Do the five VST slots work as a typical effects chain? I guess they do, but i don’t actually know it.Thanks for the detailed answers!
So, i guess BA1 will be the answer because its native support for VST plugins.
Mike said it won’t matter if the whole audio sum would go through the plugins, since he anyway will enable/disable the plugins as he likes.
That way we wouldn’t need Reaper at all (as it served only as a crutch for the VSTs) and the audio from OTS and any other sources could go directly into BA1 where the final processing and optimizing can happen. Sounds good for me so far.
I guess, we seriously should give this a try.Does this mean BA1 can be a VST “Host” so I can apply vst fx as we are doing in Reaper?
That’s what i assume. But you should be aware that (eventually) all the incoming audio (not only OTS!) might then have go through the VSTs, if not there was an option to route the source signals separately, which i don’t know at this point.
If it was possible to tell BA1 to route (say) Pipelilne1 through the VSTs and Pipeline2 (if this exists) directly to the stereo sum… well, then this would be the perfect way to go.
Let’s wait what the officials say…Hi all,
i am Erik, the guy who wants to help Mike to get his sound system configured. 🙂As far as i know, his primary objective is to “catch” all the audio sources that may come up on his PC and send it to BAE as the final sound processing unit.
In addition he wants to make use of some VST plugins for his main music player, which is OTS.
That’s why we used Reaper as a plugin host (maybe there were other programs to do this job as well, but Reaper should work too).
So what we have achieved so far, is to feed the output from OTS to an audio track in Reaper by using Reaper’s “ReaRoute” driver, which provides some virtual channels for audio routing.
This works perfectly so far… we can playback music in OTS going through Reaper’s FX chain where the VST plugins can be used at will, and then sending it out through the systems main audio out device.Unfortunately we can’t select the BAE’s Pipeline as the output device/channel.
So, that’s the problem we are facing now… how to get the output of Reaper into BAE so that it will also benefit from BAE’s sound processing like any other sond sources of the system too.Changing over to BA1, since it seems to natively support VSTs on its own, could probably be an option, but i don’t know if we could separate the channels which will be processed by the VSTs and those that won’t (mustn’t).
BTW: For the support of VST plugins, i couldn’t find any information in your features list of BA1, nor could i find a manual where this was described. Maybe that’s something you could take as a little improvement sugestion for your web site 😉
Maybe the use of ASIO (it’s only BA1 that supports it, right?) could also be an option, but since Mike doesn’t own a dedicated sound interface, this might cause some troubles too.
(We already did some experiments with a combination of ASIO4ALL and ASIOLink Pro, which didn’t go too well).
Maybe one of you guys have the answer or a sugestion how to get this done…
Cheers!
Erik
