Check here everyone for an updated version of mb_vst.dll that fixes some issues: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=35414.msg193811#msg193811

Thanks sveakul. Maybe ask a moderator to post this on the first post of the thread?

BTW, does plugin still require Visual Studio 2010 runtime ??

Hi, can we put the vst gui into a panel? like in the right side bar? I have good resizable vu meter and other monitoring vst, it would be a great setup to be able to put them somewhere in the panel layout.

Not presently, but you should post this request in the Wishlist forum;  would receive a +1 from me, although my screen is rather "sufficiently obligated" already.

Be sure that:

1.  You are using the latest version of MusicBee from the Download page (3.4.8033).

2.  You are using the latest version of Steven's VST Effects bridge from the Plugins page (this was updated December 28, 2021)

3.  You are using the latest version of the bass_vst.dll (ver. 2.4.1.2, updated January 20, 2022) (https://www.un4seen.com/stuff/bass_vst.zip)

Not all VST plugins will run correctly in MusicBee;  VST3 for example is not supported, nor of course 64-bit plugins.  From what I can see, "Stereo Tool" is a complex plugin and may be taking over control of the built-in equalizer when loaded.  I use MB with a single VST (Sonic Anomaly's "Unlimited" compressor/limiter) which works great and doesn't bother the EQ, yet others refuse to work at all.  Actually the last free player I've seen with a basically stable VST host was the now abandoned "uLilith."  Foobar's own non-native VST host plugins are a "crash-test environment".  The lack of free development on these lead me to believe their code is "not for the squeamish."

THAT SAID, maybe others who are using Stereo Tool successfully with MusicBee will post here and share their experience.

Now, THIS is interesting!  Falcosoft has released a modified bass_vst.dll that will automatically call JBridge (if installed) and allow 64-bit VST plugins to be used with a 32-bit host (or visa-versa).  The bass_vst.dll will automatically detect the bit mismatch and call JBridge to "correct" it to run with the host.  Pretty cool!  No, I have not installed JBridge to try it out (yet).  https://github.com/Falcosoft/BASS_VST/releases .  Also has a fix for people using Roland Cloud plugins.
