4 stars now for the bug fixed. now about the latency: the daw i'm using is bitwig. it usually deals with latency correctly but it has a limit to how much latency a track is allowed to have. idk, i think it was 1sec or so. could it be that you try to send a longer latency to the daw with your plugin? apart from that i know no latency-bugs of bitwig.

old comment:

hey. cool tape stop plugin. i like the temposync feature. unfortunately it doesn't latency compensate the signal and the audio engine breaks when both time parameters are on 0. maybe check if you accidently left some edge cases that can stream nans and infs into the audio buffer.

fix these and i edit this comment and give you 5 stars, because the temposync feature is something that i really wanna have :).

Thank you very much for confirming that the bug was in fact fixed. As for the latency, what you say is rather interesting. The plugin has (and advertises) a latency of precisely one second (half of the max stop/start time). I wasn't able to find anything regarding the maximum latency compensation in Bitwig, can you point me so some resources? Perhaps though 2 seconds start/stop time is overkill. I could lower it to 1 second (so 500ms latency) if that means working better with Bitwig...

>>> old.

Thanks for the info. I just uploaded a patch. The crashes with start/stop time of zero might have been due to a division by zero. As for the latency compensation, the plugin actually does advertise its latency to the host, and it is up to the host to compensate for that. I could verify that latency is compensated in Reaper and Studio One 6, while for instance Ardour does not seem to compensate it. Which DAW are you using?

Please feel free to report any early issues here in the comments (and perhaps some basic steps to reproduce) so that they can be quickly fixed.

I can't install the plugin, it doesn't have a .dll file to use it in my DAW.

Hello, newer VST3 plugins are simply folders with a bunch of stuff inside (called bundles). All you need to do is take the whole TapeStop.vst3 folder and put it in your VST3 location. Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for the help, it works now, but I found an issue with audio playback, when I play and stop playing my song and then play again, it plays the part that was playing right when I stopped, for around 1.5 seconds, and then plays the correct part, sorry if I can't explain myself very well, english is not my main language.

I'll look into that, thanks for reporting the issue. Which DAW again?

Erm, I'm still trying to figure out how to actually add to basket/download?

top-right under the green "free" button there is a "downloads" link that will bring you to the downloads page.
