... However when I try to open it to the selected track I wish to add the tremolo to, nothing appears on the screen. I would be so grateful for any help out there to make this thing work. For some reason there is no tremolo option available in the drop down menu- that is why I got the VST download.

... They can have unwanted side effects, such as distracting changes to the noise floor level, or causing words to fade in or out. Also, they do not help with timbre changes.
