But then I figured I could always run it in standalone mode, but it turns out that Softube have not provided us with that option. Strange, for a vst so cpu unfriendly.
Rack Performer is a modular host dedicated to live stage performance, with a special emphasis on interface ergonomy and user interaction. Plug your guitar, your keyboard, your microphone, or even all. LiveProfessor is a live oriented plugin host for Windows and OSX. LiveProfessor makes it easy to create a powerful, portable and flexible effect rack using VST or AU plugins. The software was developed in close collaboration with experienced audio professionals from live.
Then I tought, there must be a way to host a VST outside your daw and I did some googling and found that there is. I downloaded something called Savihost that I found a link to in this article:

Modular works like a charm now - no lag - and I can even record wavs from the host, but the program is pretty old and seems to have been out of development for at least 5 years.
Does anyone have suggestions for a better, newer, more up to date VST host for windows 10?
What are the best ones, free or to pay for?Hello,
Please bear with me as my use of Live has been limited compared to most I suspect. I came from the land of Performer, Cakewalk and the like, and found that I could create so much faster in Live that it became my sequencer of choice. This despite the fact that I do little to no audio and have never used it 'Live'
Vst Host For Live Performance Macbook Pro
Now however I am looking to gig as a keyboard player for the first time in quite a while. I'm going to try softsynth-only, using a pc laptop if all goes well. I was pretty much resolved to using Live by (if nothing else) arming tracks with pre-loaded vsts.
But...a coworker who plays live shows on a Mac showed me Mainstage, and this got me wanting a slicker approach than arming tracks. Being able to create splits for example is very handy. Obviously for pc I'm in trouble, as there is no Mainstage version (and I'm not eager to spend a bunch more money regardless )
I've started looking into VST hosts, a new world I knew nothing about, checking into such programs as Forte, VST Host etc. Before I go too far though, I want to make sure I'm exhausting the possibilites within Live. (I'd never messed with Clips at all until yesterday for example; I found them in the manual when looking for Program Changes). Speaking of, is there a way to 'draw' program changes into a @##$#@ track? That's something I used to do with other sequencers. I could potentially put my set's changes in a sequence that I could 'play' to go to the next song without loading a new ableton file. Loading a new ableton file, one per song, is an option that I considered--I'd wonder about loading times though.
Vst Plugin Host
I'm looking to avoid monkeying around on the pc during the gig as much as possible. Basically I need a way to change patches (and ideally other settings such as effects, levels). I'd love it if Live works out for me, as I dearly love the program for at-home composing (ironically)Vst Host Freeware
Any suggestions are welcome!
