Hello, I’m currently attempting to load a plugin into FMOD using one of the examples provided by the FMOD Programmers API, specifically the “fmod\_gain.cpp” file. I have successfully built and compiled the file using Xcode, resulting in a Dynamic Library (.dylib). Also, I have added all the necessary headers and binary libraries to my Xcode project. And I have placed the compiled .dylib file within the FMOD plugins path. However, despite all of that, I am unable to see any additional DSP effect in the effects browser. It’s possible that I might be doing something incorrectly or overlooking a crucial step. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Thank you for your assistance! ---

Hi, Unfortunately I’ve been unable to reproduce the issue. I’m able to build the `fmod_gain.dylib` from the examples, place it in a relevant plugin directory (in my case, I went to the FMOD Studio app, showed package contents, and placed it in the plugin directory within), and have it show up in as a usable effect in the effects menu under Add Effects → Plug-in Effects → FMOD → Gain. Can I get you to provide your FMOD Studio and FMOD Engine version numbers, and the exact path that you’ve placed your `.dylib` in?
