Clicking/Popping - At Wit's End

[jademan]

I read advice here about downloading de-clicker through Nyquist. Now I am at my wits end trying to use Nyquist plug ins. I have read the instructions and I believe I have followed them exactly, but when I press enter I get an error message, “file cannot be found”. Any help?

So you wouldn’t be the only one. There are four (4) steps involved:

1. Download de-Clicker.ny. See here: Updated De-Clicker and new De-esser for speech
2. Install it: Tools > Nyquist Plug-in Installer… See here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html#nyquist_install
3. Enable it: Tools > Add/Remove Plug-ins… See here: Plugin Manager - Add / Remove Effects, Generators and Analyzers - Audacity Manual
4. Run it: Effect > De-Clicker… (It may be in the second set of effects near the bottom).

So, at what point are you getting “file cannot be found” ? Do you want to post a screenshot ?
