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
