I didn’t rename the config files via “command prompt”,
I just went to the (normally hidden) AppData folder, and renamed them there.

thanks for your help and patience but i am making no progress and will have to give up on my attempt to load your recommended chorus plugins [ i am unable to find my way clear to continue ]

It’s heresy to mention it here, but there are other free audio editors which are more user-friendly than Audacity,
e.g. OCENaudio which has built-in chorus effect & can accept VST plugins.
Unlike Audacity, OCENaudio doesn’t do multi-track editing : Just one stereo-track.

with regard to the info you passed on to me in your last post…it was good info;thanks.
i would like to add some things i have learned about loading effects plugins into audacity.
-
i have d/loaded two effects …chorus and vocal harmoniser into my downloads folder[ they appeared as zip files].
-
unzipped them with windows utility.
-
opened them [ they showed dll at the end which i am told is good]
-
r/c c: disk > program filesx86 > audacity > plugins.
-
from the folder containing the effects files i grabbed them and inserted into ‘plugins’
-
in audacity i opened add/remove manager and the effects were in the ‘new’ box waiting to be enabled.
the chorus is great but i am having no luck with the harmoniser.
it is called ‘pitchproof’ and i have tried varied and numerous settings but i cannot get it right… am wondering if this was designed for guitar not vocal[ it was recommended though]
Not all VST plugins will work in Audacity : only “VST2” (not VST3, nor VSTi),
and only 32-bit versions, (even if your OS is 64-bit).
pitchproof does work in Audacity 2.1.3. …
Install the “32-bit"version, not the “x64” bit” version.
There’s a (non-exhaustive) list of plugins known to work in Audacity here … Missing features - Audacity Support
pitchproof is working in the sense it is responding to any changes to settings …i just cannot seem to get the simple straightforward harmony/duet type setting.
i checked out your link to the effects lists …no harmoniser found there.
would it be advisible to start a new thread for pitchproof info !!

Kerovee is a free VST which can do pitch-correction, (aka auto-tune), & has 2 channels so can do duet/trio …
Bear in mind it’s old & a freebie : there are better VSTs but they co$t.
