Re: Plug ins

Am I supposed to see the Blue Cat name in the list of effects now? If it is installed correctly AND if it is supported by Audacity AND you have VST support enabled, then yes you should see it listed. It is sometimes necessary to place the .dll files for the effect into the Audacity Plug-in folder f...

Re: reasonable latency values?
