Effect "Mutron", nyquist plugin.

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

I download plugin and place it to “Plug-Ins”, choose in “Manage” - “enable”, but the added plugin doesn’t appear in effect list, “enable” has been changed again to “new”. Please, help!

Unfortunately there is an error in that plug-in.

To fix the error:

  1. Close Audacity
  2. Open the file “mutron.ny” in a plain text editor (such as NotePad or NotePad++)
  3. Change the third line from
;type effect

to

;type process
  1. Find the file “pluginregistry.cfg”
    For Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 it will be in:
    Users<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Audacity\
  2. Open the file in a plain text editor
  3. Search for the word “Mutron” in that file and you should find lines similar to this:
Path=<path to your plug-in folder>mutron.ny
Symbol=Mutron
Name=Mutron
Version=N/A
Vendor=N/A
Description=N/A
ProviderID=Module__The Audacity Team_Nyquist Effects_
Enabled=1
Valid=1
EffectType=
EffectFamily=Nyquist
EffectDefault=0
EffectInteractive=1
EffectRealtime=0
EffectAutomatable=1
  1. Change the line:
EffectType=

to:

EffectType=Process
  1. Restart Audacity

To my mind, it works. Thank you!

I have now updated mutron.ny on the wiki, so hopefully others will not have this problem.
