Given that your profile says you use Windows 10, I'm guessing that you are trying to install VST instruments (VSTi). As it says in the Audacity manual, VSTi are not supported by Audacity.

When I run pipe client on my windows 10 machine I get the error

Code: Select all

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\\\.\\pipe\\ToSrvPipe'

Which exact version of Audacity are you using?

Are you launching Audacity and mod-script-pipe from different directories?
How exactly are you launching Audacity and Python?

Try launching Audacity from the command line, then (without changing directories), launch pipeclient.py

The only way I can get that error is by disabling the module. Are you absolutely sure that mod-script-pipe is still enabled (AND you restarted Audacity after enabling it)?

Which version of Python are you using?

Would you be able to share that project with us so that we can try to reproduce the problem?
If so, do you know how to create a ZIP file, and do you have a dropbox or Google drive account?

How about this then? If you want it any more "shouty" than that, I think you will need to re-consider your delivery style and re-record.

Some USB turntables have line level analog outputs that can be connected via an "RCA lead" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector) to an amplifier or powered speakers. Does your turntable have that?

How about this:

You may find these tutorials in the Audacity 2.3.2 manual helpful: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_copying_tapes_lps_or_minidiscs_to_cd.html The error messages in the log about "FFmpeg" are just saying that Audacity can't find the optional FFmpeg library. That's most probably ...
