On registering, there was no option to select my platform as Big Sur.

For now, setting as "Catalina" is the best option.

Which version of macOS and Audacity are you using?

I suspect the problem is that you're using a 64-bit version of macOS, but as far as I'm aware there are only 32-bit versions of the LADSPA plug-ins available. Recent versions of macOS do not support 32-bit apps (or 32-bit plug-ins).

Hopefully we've fixed all such occurrences for the next version of the manual.
