I think it fails on shorter files as well, not sure.

"Chris's Dynamic Compressor, 1.2.6" works for me with Audacity 3.0.0 (I've only tested on a short track)

Chris's Dynamic Compressor, 1.2.6 i believe.

If I recall correctly, that plug-in fails if the selection is too long.
How long is the track that you are trying to process?

Unfortunately we can't ask Chris about the problem as he is no longer living.

Which effect are you using for that?
This one: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/compressor.html
or some other compressor? (which?)

Chris's Dynamic Compressor, 1.2.6 i believe.

I believe 1.2.6 is the latest and greatest plugin.

Chris reached end-of-life a while ago so I think what's there is the whole ball game.

Chris' Dynamic Compressor. This is pretty good stuff. It can be made to simulate full broadcast compression and level setting. That is, you can start with a podcast with wildly messed up volumes and make a broadcast-safe podcast ...

Chris' Dynamic Compressor is a "Nyquist plug-in".
Installation instructions are here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ins ... st_install

Hi! I downloaded Audacity 2.4.2 about a month ago, but only recently learned of Chris' Dynamic Compressor. https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/chriss-dynamic-compressor-plugin-for-audacity/ Following the instructions in my Ubuntu 18.04 Distro however is proving difficult ...

Finally, after several trials I made it with your last tip. Thank you so much!

Yes, Audacity creates those files when it starts. The point is you have reset all your effects.

Did you try using the "Nyquist Plug-in Installer" (under the Tools menu) to install the compressor.ny file?

Hi Bill, thanks for your help. But, after deleting the files you told me the immediately appear again.
Maybe it's because my laptop is on spanish version, what do you think?
It's truly frustrating this situation.
