Re: Plug-ins won't enable

Due to trying to fix the other issues, the Audacity configuration files may have become messed up. I'd suggest removing / deleting these configuration files so that Audacity becomes reset to "out of the box" factory defaults. The three files involved are: audacity.cfg pluginsettings.cfg pl...

Re: Does Audacity work with iZotope Ozone?

According to feedback on this forum, most iZotope do not work with Audacity.

Host applications that are supported by iZotope are listed on their website. For Ozone 8, that's here: https://www.izotope.com/en/products/mas ... specs.html

Re: Audacity Broken in Mint 19.1 Cinnamon

Have you tried the official Ubuntu repository version?

Note that PPAs are not recommended unless you have a very good reason not to use the official repositories, AND you are able to fix problems that may occur when using PPA versions of software.

Re: Plug ins do not show up

"LAME" and "ACX Check" are very different types of plug-in. "LAME" isn't really a "plug-in" but an optional "module". The only purpose of LAME for Audacity is to allow Audacity to export in MP3 format. To install LAME successfully, you first need to ...

Re: Compiling Audacity for ASIO

Glad you got it working, but a little concerned that you say there was an incorrect step. For what it's worth, the instructions, as written, worked for me, though I initially had repeated problems getting the environmental variable to stick. Once the environmental variable was properly set, the proc...

Re: Fixing audio, not the simple stuff

You can make a "slight" improvement by: 1) Split the track to mono and delete the silent track (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/splitting_and_joining_stereo_tracks.html) 2) Apply a low pass filter, with filter frequency around 6000 Hz, 48 dB per octave (https://manual.audacityteam.org/...

Re: Audacity says another copy is running

Try rebooting the computer.

If that doesn't fix it:
  1. Click on the "Go" menu, and choose "Go to Folder"
  2. Copy and paste this location: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/
  3. Look in the SessionData folder and trash any file you find there.
