nothing has worked yet...as for the installer, i just drag and drop the folder to 'applications'. theres no installer dialog for me to interact with.

Did you try "spotlighting" the name of the plugins? If you hover over a hit, the system will give you the path. You can try resetting Audacity. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq.html Scroll down to Installation and Plugins. There is also a method using the latest Audacity installer....

my downloads folder is empty as i have it directed to my desktop, just so it doesn't stay bloated with stuff like that. i delete everything after im done with it...could there be some preference with audacity that remembers me having those plug ins at one time, and is just a ghost somewhere?

I keep a folder with all old downloads in it /Installers-Keys-Settings and sometimes Audacity will find stuff in there that I had not intended. Also, OS-X has a /Users/Downloads folder that can trap tools and filters.

thanks for the tips...following those paths, my vst folder is empty, and components only has "A52Codec.component" in it. anywhere else i should look?

... well.(Laptop do gets heated up hence the sound and the fan inside .....,but that was there even when i recorded the first one) Plz guide me, any help will be seriously appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your ongoing help. I will 'try' this and see if I'm successful. I'll let you know asap.

Yes, that is certainly faulty.
It isn't even true for Bel, since we are dealing with amplitudes and those are doubled by 6 dB and 10-fold by 20 dB. Or in linear terms: 0 dB = 1 and -20 dB is 0.1.

An Audacity developer wrote that Wiki answer, but I am confused by it. A change of 10 dB is a factor of 10, a change of 20 dB is a factor of 100, etc.. That's the power ratio, though. Audacity uses amplitude ratio, so a change of 10 dB is a factor of about 3, and a change of 20 dB is a factor of 10....
