Vamp plugins in Audacity 2.1.2

Audacity Help Forum macOS

Hello everybody. I’m trying to use a melody extractor plugin from UPF called Melodia. It’s a Vamp plug-in, so I have: created a vamp folder under Library/Plug-ins; copied all the Melodia files as requested; tried to activate the plugin by means of add plug-in under Audacity. It seems that Audacity doesn’t see this vamp plug-in. I have tried also to use it with Sonic Visualizer which sees it but it doesn’t work well. Any suggestions ? Thanks in advance !

I see that on their website they demo Melodia in Sonic Visualize, so I’d guess that is as good as it gets (MELODIA - Melody Extraction vamp plug-in - MTG - Music Technology Group (UPF)).

You could try the current 2.1.3 version of Audacity: Audacity ® | Download for Mac OS
I’d suggest that you completely remove your current version of Audacity, including its settings, before installing 2.1.3, so as to eliminate the possibility of old settings interfering with this Vamp plug-in.

Audacity only shows VAMP plugins that have outputs that can be displayed in a label track. Graphs and contours can’t be so represented. So Melodia is not going to appear in Audacity.
