Light Host

A minimalistic VST host. Holds up to 4 VSTs. Allows for multiple instances (see how on GitHub). If you try to load an unregistered plugin, it may fail. Register somewhere else, then load it. If the sound clicks a lot, increase the buffer size or switch to Direct Sound in Audio...

Comments and Reviews
I tested around 10 VST hosts. All were lame or had some weakness making them useless for me. Initially, I dumped this host. It didn't read most of my VSTs. But later I found a compatible plugin — independence_softwaresuite_32_dlm.exe — which is a collection of plugins. I could load it. I have a noise filter now — rnnoise stereo — and multiple other effects. Like gain or reverb. The voice from a cheap mic sounds much better now. It is also great for running audio books through it. And doesn't take up screen space. 44100 Hz. The buffer size is 1664 samples.
