Title: How do i get the Arc System 2 VST plugin to work?
Post by: Robpriore on January 08, 2013, 10:46:39 pm

Okay, so I've created the room measurements, had to get a mic preamp and got lucky working two USB devices, one for mic input, the other for output to my DAC.  But now I have to get the VST plugin to work on JRiver.  I'm using JRiver MC 16 version 16.0.181.  I'm pretty lost at this point.  I feel like there is some software I'm missing.  I was told JRiver supports VST plugins but again, i'm lost!

I would recommend MC18 for advanced VST work.

You add the VST plugin using the 'Manage Plug-ins' button on the lower left of DSP Studio.

Thanks Matt.  I did that, the file is a dll, but nothing happens.  I'm expecting some sort of interface to appear.  Is there somewhere I go to activate the plugin?

I'm sorry, but I don't know what's happening.

When you add a plug-in, it should appear in the list.

Make sure you're adding the right DLL.  It'll need to be 32-bit (I'm not sure if there are 64-bit versions).

You might also look at AudioLense or Acourate for convolution based correction that dove-tails nicely with MC.

I got it to work!  After adding the plugin I then went to tools, options, and then DSP - which is on the pop up menu, where you select output format, and you can check a box for the plugin, in this case it's called ARC 2.  Now the ARC interface appears and the room curves, etc., can be selected.
