VST Host Hardware

• Hardware VST hosts (e.g. Muse Receptor and SM Pro Audio's V-Machines) can load special versions of VST plugins. These units are portable and usable without a computer, although all editing is done on a computer. Other hardware options include PCI/PCIe cards designed for audio processing, which take over audio processing from the computer's CPU and free up RAM.

• Audio data can also be sent over a network using appropriate software, allowing the main host to run on one computer and VST plugins to run on peripheral computers.

• A VST host is a software application or hardware device that allows VST plugins to be loaded and controlled. The host application is responsible for handling the routing of digital audio and MIDI to and from the VST plugins.

Pro Audio Equalizer (EQ)

Equalizer (EQ) - A device used to cut and boost individual frequencies of an audio signal using a number of filters. The name "equalizer" comes from the original application of correcting distorted audio signals to sound closer to the original source. Graphic Equalizer and Parametric Equalizer are different types of equalizers used by audio equipment and audio equalizer.

Virtual Studio Technology - VST plugins

• Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is an interface for integrating software audio synthesizer and effect plugins with audio editors and hard-disk recording systems. VST and similar technologies use Digital Signal Processing to simulate traditional recording studio hardware with software.

• The VST plugin standard is the audio plugin standard created that allow any third party developers to create VST plugins for use within VST host applications. VST requires separate installations for Windows/Mac/Linux. The majority of VST plugins are available for Windows due to both Apple's proprietary Audio Unit software for OS X and the lack of information and patent encumbrances that make development difficult for Linux platforms.
