As shown below, I had an issue where certain VST windows (in my case, GOYO) would crop out the bottom and right portions of the plugin. I was unable to scroll, resize the window or click anywhere within the empty region.
I found that the problem was caused by me not having my app scale set to 100% within Windows Display Settings. If you're having the same problem, you can try changing yours to 100% if you prefer EVERYTHING being smaller. If you're like me, though, you'll want to leave this setting alone (I had mine at 150% and wanted to keep it that way).
My solution is to slightly change the DPI settings within the Light Host executable properties:

With the LUveler plugin, LightHost stops working, makes no sound, and sometimes the settings of some plugins are reset.
I tried some forked version(this and this) but thier version are not support vst2 plugin, so I cant use LUveler plugin.
Is there any way to fix this, or is there a repository that has been modified to fix the above issue and support VST2 plugins?
When using this with the logitech g hub nvidia broadcast noise canceling ai engine there is heavy delay and significant clipping.
I'm not entirely sure if this could ever be fixed but keeping it here for anyone else.

Thanks a lot for your hard work. The program is really cool. Here is my video tutorial (in Russian) https://youtu.be/4QrKZvZXh-8
TDR Nova VST3 crashes Light Host on startup, normal VST does work but VST3 crashes. After manually removing the plugin from pluginListActive in the config file, Light Host doesn't crash anymore. This part of the config is responsible for it:

Hi everyone ... Light Host When will the new version be released? what's the new feature? Does anyone have information? thanks.
How do I use the multiple instances feature? Not really an issue, but this is a very useful feature for me and it isn't described that well.
When i start up light host and scan for new plugins, it will say: Note that the following files are plugin files, but failed to load correctly. Can anyone help?
I tried opening the Izotope Ozone Elements VST a second time when it was already open, just to see what would happen. LightHost crashed and began taking up massive amounts of memory. Unfortunately, it appears that the bad plugin configuration settings were saved so every time I open it up, it crashes and takes up a massive quantity of memory. I do not want to lose my plugin configuration settings. How would I make the appropriate changes in the settings file to keep my Ozone mixing settings intact?
It seems that moving plugins up and down in the list (using "Move Up" / "Move Down" in the plugin item menu) makes plugin lose their configuration (say, FabFilter's compressor ended up with setting values all over the place - not default, nor ones I've configured it to - after I've moved another plugin above it). Anyone can confirm?
The program used to work, but at some point I quit, click on the .exe file of the program, and nothing happens. I tried disabling windows protection and running as administrator, but there is no result
Hi, on OBS, I had two reafir_standalone installed, one only for the background noise, and the other of me typing and clicking. I'd like to do the same with Light host but it appears we can't use twitce the same plugin.
Would that be possible to give us the ability to use the same plugin more than once in a future update or it's barely useless?
Thank you!
I am trying to use a loudness control VST in Lighthost to control the sound coming from the PC (VAIO). I have seen other people use that exact setup and plugin (LoudMax) on Youtube.
The test in the settings works through the patch insert in Voicemeeter, but any other sound does not pass trough the plugin. This can be seen in the plugin, as there are no reactions in the meeters, and there is no sound.
Since the test works, I am out of ideas.
I have also tried other minimal host apps like NanoHost, and other plugins like Youlean Loudness Meter, and the same problem exists there, too.
Anyone with an idea what else I could be doing wrong?
Every time I reopen lighhost it starts plugins with it's default settings
Hi, I would like to use it but I really don't know how to use it, I appreciate your help.
Repositioning my microphone today and attempted to access my VSTs through Light Host but the menu no longer appears when clicked.
Tried moving Light Host around, uninstalled, reinstalled, tried clearing appdata, and no changes, cannot find documentation. Any ideas?
Hello, was wondering if anyone can help solve the issue of the application closing whenever I swap the "Audio deive Type" to ASIO. Reason for doing this is to connect to voicemeter banana. I have tried running everything on adminstrative and it still crashes
If you stop or restart Windows Audio service when Light Host is running, the CPU usage of light host will jump in my case from 0.5% to 24%, and Light Host will stop working until its restart. The problem occurs with no active plugins and on Windows 11. I think the CPU usage can be fixed and perhaps a check and rehook to Windows Audio can be implemented.
When closing it doesn't save presets from most of my plugins.
Hi,
In LightHost does the signal chain for the plugins flow from top to bottom or bottom to top. This isnt clear in the app.
What I mean is in the active plugins of the tray, the plugins are listed top to bottom, which plugin will be applied first, the one at the top or the one at the bottom?
Tariq
Most likely through command line flag and an additional setting file suffix must be passed.
LightHost -multiInstance=2
This should result in the allowing of another instance spawning and use the default settings file name with "2" appended to it.
Let it scan my plugin folder, worked. Added a plugin to active, worked. Added second plugin, worked. Deleted second plugin and it crashed. Then I tried to open it up again, didn't work. Tried deleting the folder und uninstalling, didnt open anymore. Tried deleting folder, restarting pc and installing a earlier version, didn't open.
Hello there,
I am using LightHost with Voicemeeter Banana. The default audio buffer size in Voicemeeter is 512 samples. When using LightHost with Voicemeeter default buffer settings, there are no issues found when restarting the PC or program. However, if you set the buffer size to 256 samples in Voicemeeter, Lighthost will not register the buffer size after a pc restart. This is what it looks like when it is opened after a restart:
Does anyone know how to edit the settings file to force LightHost to use a buffer size other than 512 after a restart? Or, to make LightHost use the new buffer size upon restart? This issue causes audio issues with the microphone in Voicemeeter.
How about support for LV2 plugins?
my voicemeeter potato input asio is not working with light host when i do the test nothing happens can someone help me with this
I really love this software, the easy integration into Voicemeeter and the fact that it allows visuals on VSTs (unlike eqAPO) is great BUT I dislike that you cannot run different sets of VSTs on different inputs of an ASIO. I thought the multi-instance feature would allow this, but you cannot open the same ASIO driver you already have open in another instance.
What I'd like to achieve is run my voice plugins through the 1st insert of Voicemeeter, and my guitar plugins through the third. This seems unachievable at this time.
Hi, so the first hour worked well, and then i downloaded this plugin :https://plugins4free.com/plugin/1334/ (lol ik it was a bad idea) lightHost Got REALLY LOUD, i tried disabling everything and it crashed, i wasn't able to launch it so i resetted evrything and now ... here am i with this (any plugins, even without plugins) Headphones warning, i think it comes from the fact that we hear what i hear in the microphone, so HOW DO I DISABLE THE SOUND FEEDBACK, ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY
Hi, I just downloaded Light Host and installed some plugins after I clicked detect plugins I saw the plugins I had then it just crashed. I tried to launch it again but it closed right after. I tried reinstalling it multiple times but that wouldn't fix anything.
The delay between my microphone and my camera is HUGE and that's due to Lighthost.
Is this normal or can you do something about it?
I use the plugins:
