VSTHost

VSTHost is a Windows environment for loading and connecting compatible plug-ins outside a full recording workstation. It is useful for testing instruments, assembling an effects chain and building a focused live setup. Plug-in architecture and driver selection matter. Save a known working configuration and test audio-device recovery before relying on it during an important performance.

Check the selected input, output and monitoring path before beginning important work. A short test file can reveal routing or format problems that are not obvious from a meter alone.
