I am new to J River 19 (tested v14 and stayed at Foobar).

However now I am seriously consider to buy J River because of DSD.

There is however for me a strange behavior that I cannot explain.

I use a free VST called ReLife. www.terrywest.nl/utils.html

It tries to bring back life to a heavy clipped audiofile.

The VST is working great when I play music, so I consider it CAN work.

When I try to convert music however, I can select the VST, but it does nothing.

In Foobar2000 it works when I convert to another format.

Can somebody help me, because I am lost now.

Thank you all in advance for helping me.

I don't think VST's currently work when trying to use Convert Format.

The Relife VST has been shown to be a simple all pass filter that changes phase. It doesn't do anything to the clipped waveform.

Then at least I don't have to search any further. 

I have read the forum as you suggested.

I sincerely hope that there will be a solution to somehow restore, at least some, of the original quality of the recording.
At lot of modern music is so destroyed by the mixers, it makes me wanne cry.

iZotope can work well for clipped tracks (using the offline RX editor, rather than a VST plugin) but I've yet to hear any VSTs I could leave enabled all the time for compressed tracks.
 
The best solution is still to try and find a better source for the recording if at all possible.
Unfortunately, I know that's frequently not possible, and I don't really have a solution for it.
