See https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/bbe-sonic-maximiser-plug-in/23241/6 .
According to http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/VST_Plug-ins Sonic Maximizer did not appear in Audacity Beta with the old VST Bridge. It “may” be usable to run on a stopped track in current Audacity (which does not use VST Bridge) or it may not.
“Maximisers” and “fatteners” are not exactly a rare type of effect. Try searching here for example: http://www.kvraudio.com/ .

I’m using Windows 8.1, 64-bit. I believe I downloaded the .exe installer.
I couldn’t really see much of anything that looked promising at the site you mentioned. The effects all seemed to be in the VST (format?) (protocol?).
BBE lists compatibility with Windows® RTAS, VST. Not exactly sure what the acronyms mean. They’ve a list of compatible sequencing/audio editing programs but Audacity isn’t mentioned. I love the clean, simple “look” that Aud. employs and its straightforward methods. All the programs I’ve seen have so much eye-candy and clutter that it makes them hard to work with.
My current goal is to sweeten and fatten some material currently on cassette. I’ve had good luck with BBE hardware and have heard good things about the software ver, as well.
thanks again.
