Oh my gosh man... I am really impressed and grateful that you've created this. I'm working on my first VST2 plugin, and being able to run in standalone, etc, is awesome, not to mention how much of the code is handled for me already when it comes to interfacing with the VST2 API.. Thank you Oli! Badass, dude!

Pressed [F5] in Visual Studio with the standalone thingy selected, went to the kitchen to make a coffee, thinking it would take a while to build, but then quite quickly, quite suddenly I heard a strange high-pitched sound coming from somewhere… At first I thought it was maybe a car alarm somewhere, or something like that. Turns out, it built without problems, had started running with the mic enabled and what I heard was the feedback from the laptop speakers back into the mic! Awesome. I recorded it in Reaper, put an extremely long reverb on it, and rendered it as "Eerie.wav" in my sound design folder. Oli, I like the way you present this video; very calm, cool, collected, very clear, no-nonsense… I hope you'll make many more vids. Insta-subscribe.

Большое спасибо за контент! Thank you very much!

Brutally robo-great tutorial, dude. I had about 30 tiny little questions that were kinda "in between the lines" of the iPlug documentation. Being a total newb to C++ your video answered all my questions. Thank you very, very much!

This is the best tutorial. Thank you so much.

the video is just meant to show what to put where, not explain the code. For that you'll need to download it and check out the examples. Also read up on the WDL forum

Your an absolute legend

thank you.

hi olilarkin: thanks for this tutorials it is vary good. I get a lot of c4244 warnings when compiling this, it says: "conversion from 'float' to 'int', possible loss of data" and when I run it the plugin dose not show the numeric readout of the knob any ideas how to fix this?

thanks for the quick respond..what about the numeric readout of the knob, isn't that why I can't see the values of the knob?

you need to make a control for that, e.g. github.com/olilarkin/wdl-ol/blob/master/IPlugExamples/MoreExamples/IPlugMultiTargets/IPlugMultiTargets_controls.h#L294

why coding can't be essay like - puredata or reaktor ??

i use IPlug to make plugins. I don't have any reason to make a video to demonstrate setting up the VST SDK. All of the steps shown in this video are detailed in the file IPlugExamples/Examples.rtf . Just replay/pause the video if it's too fast.

It's not too fast it just lacks context. You explain everything needed to start except for you completely left that part out, then just started copying files from folders without even mentioning that those folders need to be generated before even starting where you start in the video. NBD, just some friendly feedback

Hello, thanks for tutorial. But unfortunatelly I have problem when I try build. There is fatal error C1083: c:\wdl-ol\wdl\zlib\zconf.h - Cannot include file 'sys/types.h' I tried to Retarget Solution, and read that: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/et4zwx34.aspx and many more forums, but I still can't find solution for me. Could you help me in any way? I use Windows 7, and Visual studio 2017. For any help thanks in advance. Best Regards

I know this comment is 5 years old.... but did you ever find a solution?

Mad respect! Could you also do a video how to set uip the vst sdk? You're going through it way too fast in this video.

This is a very old video. You should use iPlug2 now and the AAX SDK not RTAS. you can obtain that from AVID's website

+olilarkin that works thx

I couldn't get this to work in Visual studio 2017 and after a lot of digging here's how I solved it: (1) first, open the project projecties using [Project -> (yourpluginname) properties] and in the "VC++ Directories" section append the full path for the "\um" and "\shared" directories for the Windows SDK you're using (for me, those were "c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\um" and "c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\shared"). (2) Then, in the "General" settings, change the "Platform Toolset" to the highest versioned "Visual Studio 2017 (...)" option -in the case of the Windows 10 fall creators SDK, that's v141- and then finally, after applying those properties, (3) right click the `yourpluginname-app` entry and pick "retarget projects" from the context menu, then make it use the latest SDK version. Finally, (4) compiling should now work by hitting F5 with "yourpluginname-app" selected.

Aweseome - I've also written this out over on pomax.github.io/1512169175433/creating-vst/au/etc-audio-plugins-in-2017 because I'm pretty sure google does not index youtube comments, so when people try to find solutions to the problems they found by literally searching for the error message, they wouldn't find this comment =)
