Hi Chris,

Thanks for replying.

Was the new plugins.cfg you created empty, then Audacity could write to it?

Were you logged in as admin, or running Notepad as admin when you created plugins.cfg?

To me it makes no sense to throw up that dialog one more time before exiting and then deleting all the audio files if they (sometimes inadvertantly) say "no" to the 2nd save request. At this point I have to ask: what is the point to deleting the audio files and leaving the project file an...

I'm using a Numark Stereo iO audio interface to convert some vinyl to digital. Its a phono turntable connected directly to the USB interface then to my computer. I am happy with the recorded sound but I'd like to tweak the input levels of the recording every so slightly in order to avoid clipping a...

I've answered this extensively on [email protected] so far. To save duplicating answers, at the moment we are agreed that for whatever reason you need to log in as administrator before you can write to plugins.cfg (which is required to rescan for new VST plug-ins). You have said that if you quit Audacity, t...

When you say "as opposed to the middle of it," how would that be different? Because pasting in the middle of a track does not create a separate clip, hence there are no black vertical split lines. But if you paste at the end of a track, that paste is regarded as a separate clip and that c...

And more to the point still, Audacity doesn't support VST plug-ins at all on Linux. Sorry, we should have made that clear. Are you are on Linux (the board you posted to)? On Linux, you can run Audacity for Windows on Windows running in a Virtual Machine, or run Audacity for Windows under WINE. More ...

now I can't hear the audio from the computer I can only hear the audio from the cassette player while it is recording. I can only hear the audio audacity when I replay the audio not while it is recording. Click Transport > Software Playthrough (on/off) so that it is checked (on). Have you read our ...

Probably this http://web.audacityteam.org/vst/ but more to the point why are you compiling it? Audacity 1.3.8 and later do not need VST bridge. The current Audacity release is 2.0.3 ( http://audacityteam.org/download/source ) .
