Not sure if I did miss something. Is there a minimalistic example of a host that just loads a plugin included to JUCE?
For an example of a standalone app, there’s the AudioPluginHost.
For an example of a plugin that loads other plugins, there’s the HostPluginDemo.
Thanks a lot! This was what I was looking for
Quick question, when I load that example there are no plugins in the list and no way of scanning for them that I can see. So my question is… how do I locate a plugin just for a test? Thank you.
In the main menu, to go Options → Edit the List of Available Plug-Ins → Options… → Scan for new or updated plug-ins.
I am not seeing that option for some reason. :S.
In the HostPluginDemo, use the Options... menu at the bottom of the window to open the menu allowing you to scan for new plug-ins.
If you’re trying to test your own plug-in, it’s probably better to use the AudioPluginHost than the HostPluginDemo, as the former is much more fully-featured.
Nothing there either… lol. So confused at this point. And no I am not doing that. I just wanted to look at how to host a third party plugin at some point into a plugin I am planning to make in the future. :).
I just checked making a Projucer Project from the HostPluginDemo PIP. Apparently, it does NOT set some settings in the module parameters correctly. Click on the juce_audio_processors module, and set JUCE_PLUGINHOST_VST3 and JUCE_PLUGINHOST_AU to Enabled.

Confirmed. It now works. Cheers :D.
Have you managed to use it? I’m trying to send audio to the inner->ProcessBuffer function, but i hear it twice, instead of hearing only the processed audio.did it work for you better?
Thanks
The above issue where the option to find plugins to load is not yet resolved. stephenk’s suggestion worked for me.
Here it is working:
