[FEATURE] Stereo impulse responses

[flutomax]

Is it possible to support IR in stereo mode in the future? In other words, can I count on downloading stereo WAV files containing IR in order to apply convolution for the left and right channels separately?
I would really like to be able to work with a plug-in with such a feature.

Could've sworn there was an Issue for this already. Regardless, yes, I'm open to this.

How then? Creating two instances of a plugin for the left and right channels is somehow archaic.

Stereo is highly requested, but it's pretty easy to work around this until it's fixed.
Even though most cab IRs are mono, stereo files can be loaded in NadIR by STL Tones. Download link at the bottom of this page (in the emissary bundle): https://www.stltones.com/pages/file-downloads

For now, if you want a full stereo route from input to output, you can add two instances of NAM on a track, and for example, in Reaper, use the output pins and choose 1>1 ... 2 > 2, respectively for each instance of NAM.

This is how I setup NAM to be fully stereo, it takes a few clicks and then you can save the fx chain for later recall:

I suspect that the author did not use the regular convolution class WDL_ConvolutionEngine or WDL_ConvolutionEngine_Div from the IPlug2 framework. It just has the ability to work in stereo mode. I wonder what good reasons the author had for not using this convolution class?

@flutomax the reason is that I started this project for fun, and it was more fun for me to write the code than to use someone else's 🙂

For sure, if someone else were doing this then they might consider doing it another way like using something off the shelf.

To clarify, when I said

I meant that I intend to implement this.
