How to Create VST Plug-ins
How to Create VST Plug-ins
Bonus White Paper: Here is all what you need to install VST plugins on your machine
Read first!
VST plugins are not standalone softwares. They need a "host" in order to be managed and to communicate from one plugin to another.
The best known of VST hosts is "Cubase" from Steinberg, but if you want to use a free one, you can download it from the list below:
| Mac | PC |
|---|---|
| HostX from mmTurner | Maize Studio |
| AU Lab from Apple | Mini-Host from Toby Bear |
| Kil2 from Fredrik Olofsson | SAVIHost from Hermann Seib |
| MultiVST Shell from Lone Roger | VSTHost from Hermann Seib |
| Ouroboros | Bidule from Plogue Art |
| Ugly VSTi interface from Refuse Software | Psycle from Psycledelics community |
| Bidule from Plogue Art | Arguru from Arguru Softwares |
To allow those VST hosts to work, your PC must have an ASIO driver. If it is not the case and you get a "No ASIO driver!" message, you must first download ASIO4ALL which should solve the problem.
About free VST hosts, we prefer VSTHost from Hermann Seib which is very light and efficient.
Installing plug-ins
Maner can change from one host to another.
The first thing to do after the download is to expand (uncompress) the files.
- If the file is in .zip format and you've got a PC, this will be very simple: simply press the right button of your mouse on the file. You'll get a menu with an "expand" function.
- If the file is in .rar, you must have an expander supporting this format. If you don't, you can download RarZilla which is free and perfect for that.
- If the file is .exe, this is an auto-installer. Simply double-clic and it and follow instructions.
When the plugin is expanded, you must drop it into the VST dedicated folder of the host. When it's done, the plugin must appear into the "effects" or "VST" menu of the host.
- For WaveLab : C:\Program Files\WaveLab\Plug-ins
- For Cubase : C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins.
- Mini-Host : anywhere is your plugin, choose "Load VST Plugin..." in the "VST" menu
- VSTHost : anywhere is your plugin, choose "New Plugin" in the "File" menu
- Audacity : C:\Program Files\Audacity\Plug-Ins
Audacity is not natively abble to run VST. You must first upgrade it: - Go to http://audacityteam.org/vst, clic on VST-Enabler-0.1.3.zip and record the file (33 Ko) on your machine.
- Double-clic on the file to see its content. Clic on VST Enabler.dll, and enter Ctrl + C.
- With Windows, open the C:\Program Files\Audacity\Plug-Ins folder and enter Ctrl + V

Female Artist of the Year nominee Eileen Carey’s career continues to rise, as she plans performances at a benefits concert in L.A. and several County Fairs.
(LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.) JUNE 25th, 2015 – After her recent CMA Fest appearances at Nashville’s Tootsies and Rippy’s,
you wouldn’t think rising country-pop star Eileen Carey would have time to “Party at the Beach.” Then you realize that’s the title of her new upcoming single.
"Party at the Beach" is the follow-up to the current Top Ten charting tune, “Sweet Love.” In just the last six months, Carey has won multiple major music awards, wowed the critics, and was nominated as Female Country Artist of the Year by New Music Weekly.
“Sweet Love,” has recently entered the Top 10 on the New Music Weekly Country Charts.RoughStock.com’s Weekly New Release Reportsaid of the single, “It could very well be her best single released to date. The production is tight, and the lyrics, (written by Eileen Carey with Kathryn Grimm,) are sweet.”
Earlier this year, Carey’s “Bottle Your Crazy Up” went nationally to number one where it competed with major-label country performers. All three songs are off of her latest album, Let it Go, which is her most successful album to date. Eileen also won The Academia Music Awards Best Country/Rock Song of the Year for “Bottle Your Crazy Up.” Akadamia.com called Carey’s composition and performance, “A clever country jam … dulcet vocals to superb instrumentation, illustrating one of the most stringent performance standards we've encountered.”
There are numerous chances to see Eileen perform live this summer. The shows scheduled include a July 25th benefits concert at L.A.’s legendary The Autry, hosted by Morgan Fairchild. The event is calledWhiskers in the Moonlight, a charity concert to support FixNation, a local and highly-regarded non-profit. Their mission is to reduce the cat population through spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return. “This event is very dear to my heart as my husband, and I have been involved in animal welfare for years,” explains Carey. Eileen will be joined onstage with Carl Verheyan and the Podunk Poets.
Eileen has upcoming performances also slated for The San Diego County Fair on July 1st, as well as the Orange County Fair on August 9th. Carey’s inimitable blend of California country is an exceptionally fun and family-friendly experience. So as Eileen would say, just “Let it Go” and “Bottle Your Crazy Up” – there’s a “Party at the Beach” and everyone’s invited.
