Thanks. Tried that. The plugin now shoes as New versus Disabled. I Enable it hit OK, it appears to be processing, then I check to see if it worked and it didn't. It doesn't get added to the menu and goes back as a New plugin. I have tried this several times with no luck. I am also seeing the "Audaci...

Do you have a lot of external plugins enabled? The reason I ask is that one thing we can try is resetting Audacity's plugin registry. You'll have to re-enable your plugins after the reset.

I am trying to ENABLE Chris's Dynamic Compressor, but it won't stay enabled.

Effect/Add Remove/Enable. After doing that the plugin doesn't enable and just goes back to be disabled.

Sorry : I thought it was about Chris Capel's original plugin, (which has problems with true silence).

1. 'Noise gate falloff' I just leave that at the default setting. 2. Noise level at the beginning and end of the file seems to be greatly amplify after compression. Is there an easy way to fix this?
