I know there are several out there. And I also know some are better than others.
Does anybody have any tips or hands-on experience to share??

A VST host ?
You can use a VST host to host (to load) VST plugins.
Is Breakaway a VST plugin ? 🙄

So, what do you want to do (with Breakaway) ?

Breakaway is a VST host, with a Winamp plugin to load them. Dunno what other use you had in mind.

Ok… let me rephrase.

I would like to run VST/Direct-X plugins in the airchain. But a lot of the offered solutions are pretty old, no longer available or simply unstable…

@Jesse: I believe you use adapt-X?

I do. Adapt-X, and DirectiXer which turns any VST plugin into a DirectX plugin. I just like the way it lets me manage what VSTs I wanna see in it, adjust for incorrect naming, etc.

Floorfish is a VST plugin.
But Adapt-X ($ !) can only host DirectX (DX) plugins !
So you need an additional VST to DX wrapper: DirectiXer or Cakewalk VST Adapter (both $) if you want to use Adapt-X.

Or you can do what works definetly (I have just tried it with Floorfish) and takes 1 minute with this freeware host:

It is the only VST to Winamp DSP wrapper.
AdaptX and VB FFX-4 are DX to DSP wrappers.

How can I use Waves plugins (specifically MaxxBass) without installing the entire program?

Afaik (older) Waves packs support VST and DirectX.
For VST it uses its own shell structure that might be incompatible with some hosts.

The simplest (less complicated) method would be to install the free VB FFX-4 DX chainer (the Winamp DSP version).
http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/us … dxrack.htm
➡
Load the VB FFX-4 DSP as effect-plugin with Breakaway Live.
➡
And then load MaxBass (DX plugin) with the VB FFX-4 rack.

The purple colored rack is the VST version (but this is also a pure DX chainer !).
The Winamp DSP and the DX version have grey colored racks.
You can cascade multiple DX or/and VST instances of the VB FFX-4 rack if you need more than 4 plugins !

If you want to chain VST plugins (and do not own one of the commercial VST to DX wrappers) you have to use the free Acon Effect Chainer (you can chain as many plugins as you want and even combinations of VST and DX plugins):
