With a LOT of help from James I got these two Macros (see attachments) working on the latest 2.3.1 alpha (and they seem then to work on 2.3.0)

Did you have to edit the Macro .txt file manually?
I couldn't get the "Reload" option to appear when using the GUI.

I suspect that the thumping is unrelated to this error message.

It happens when I export the file:

Audacity does work with Jack not running. So you are saying that Audacity doesn't work with Jack running, and doesn't work when Jack is NOT running?

My Mac insists on keeping a "txt" extension to the filename, so it appears as "Noisegate.ny.txt"

Thank Apple for that
The filename for a Nyquist plug-in MUST end in exactly ".ny". If it ends in ".ny.txt" then it will not work.

I still wonder a bit how good automation with macros can be, if it only allows setting selection boundaries by absolute values, and not by computed ones. Macros are deliberately kept as simple as possible. The number of effects and options is quite daunting for many users without inventing a new sc...

Unfortunately that error code is rather general. It means that "something" interrupted the audio stream. It could be that the USB socket is loose, or it could be that the computer's CPU was too busy (can be caused by Windows or some program updating), or that you are going through a USB hu...

That's a bit too complex for a normal Macro. You need a "Nyquist Macro". See: https://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Nyquist_Macros Even then it's a bit tricky, and we don't have much documentation yet for Nyquist Macros, so I've written one for you. If I understand correctly what you wa...

Are you able to test on both machines using the same audio and the same settings for the Hum removal?
