I installed the AU version (as shown) but it doesn't appear as New in the Effects List.
Does it work in other apps, for example in Garage Band?
Hi Steve,
It does, indeed, work in GB. I still much prefer Audacity!

Re: Voxengo AnSpec vst displays only gray box

Audacity traditionally didn't get along well with plugins that had complex graphic interfaces. That's the first thing that came to mind when you said you got a gray box instead of controls and settings you were expecting. Sometimes programs will use fancy interfaces as sales or promotion efforts. K...

Re: Voxengo AnSpec vst displays only gray box

Hi Steve,
THANK YOU for replying! I installed the AU version (as shown) but it doesn't appear as New in the Effects List. (I deleted the VST version which now shows as Disabled.) Sigh.

vst plugins display only gray box

Mac OS 10.13.6 running Audacity 2.4.2. Of all the free VST downloads I have tried, only Nova's Slick EQ and Nova actually display the graphical interface. I've had no luck with Voxengo AnSpec, GVST's GSnap, or Melda's MAnalyzer and/or MAutoPitch, all of which enable, but only display a gray box. I'd...

Voxengo AnSpec vst displays only gray box

Dear wonderful volunteers, I'm running Audacity 2.4.2 on Mac 10.13.6. When I attempt AnSpec as an effect, only a gray box appears. This happens frequently with VST plugins. (Interestingly, TDR's Nova and Slick EQ VST's display fine.) Get info>Open With shows "Not applicable," and, indeed, Audacity i...

Envelope tool doesn't work as expected

I just upgraded to Audacity 2.4.2 running High Sierra (10.13.6). I'm editing 6-8 vocal tracks. When I select the Envelope Tool, the heavy blue lines don't appear unless the waveform is REALLY minimized. (See attached screen shot). I would be grateful to know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance f...

Re: Graillon 2 EQ doesn't disply rich interface

Ah, you're right. It is listed as Voice Changer. I found it while looking for various free autotune options. I know Audacity has one as well. Thanks so much for responding so quickly!

Graillon 2 EQ doesn't disply rich interface

Greetings! I have High Sierra (10.13.6) with Audacity 2.3.3. Installed the free Graillon 2 Equalizer (AU) in Components and Enabled. When I apply the effect to a track, I get only a gray box with three transport buttons and an Apply button. I have restarted Audacity and reinstalled Graillon. No chan...
