REQ: Accurate Sound Hang Loose Host v1.2.6
Hang Loose Host (HLHost) is a cross-platform application designed to host audio plugins, which can be added to the signal path to give you a multitude of DSP capabilities.
Host any Audio Unit (AU), VST3, LADSPA, and LV2 plugin
INFO Windows 10 and 11. MacOS 10.15 or later, including Apple Silicon and Intel-based Mac computers. Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS or later. Raspberry Pi 64-bit OS bullseye or later.
Host any Audio Unit (AU), VST3, LADSPA, and LV2 plugin.
32 and 64-bit DSP processing depending on plugin capability.
64 channels of digital I/O.
Simple Audio Settings dialog with input level meter. Select your digital I/O, sample rate, buffer size and go.
Set and forget – once configured, save your filtergraph. Set to run at startup and Run Minimized.
Complete flexibility in “wiring” plugins in any way for advanced usage scenarios.
HLHost typically requires a 3rd party virtual audio loopback driver, such as Windows (VB-Cable, Virtual Audio Cable, VB-Matrix, LoopBeAudio), Mac (BlackHole), and Linux (ALSALoop), and including Raspberry Pi. Supports virtual audio drivers for Ravenna and Dante audio networks.
Supports a variety of audio protocols: Windows: ASIO, WASAPI and Direct Sound. Mac: Core Audio, Linux: Pulse Audio, Jack, ALSA.
Supports “hardware digital loopback” that is built-in to many “pro” audio interfaces.
Automatic sample rate switching is supported (e.g. Qobuz->BlackHole) but varies across apps and platforms. Test your scenario.
