GSnap versus FFMPEG - Installed but Not Working

Audacity 3 Help Forum macOS
1

I feel like this question has been asked before, but I cannot find it, so please forgive me. I’ve been trying without success for a while to get GSnap to work on my Mac with Audacity. I know it doesn’t generally work very well, but I’m just trying to get something. Have I screwed something up or is what I am attempting to do not possible?

I have a Mac running Monterey 12.6 (the Ventura update is available, but I haven’t had time to do it yet). It has a M1 Max chip. I installed the recommended FFmpeg package for Mac [https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg.php] and Audacity recognizes the library: “FFmpeg Library Version: F(59.16.100),C(59.18.100),U(57.17.100)”. But when I go to enable the GSnap plug-in, it tells me the library cannot be found. (“GSnap.vst failed to register; Could not load the library.”) My Audacity is version 3.2.3. Is there any way around whatever is messed up or should I just continue to use a different program for tuning?

Thank you in advance.

That’s the message displayed when Audacity has encountered an incompatible plugin,
e.g. 64-bit plugin on 32-bit Audacity, or vice versa.

[FFmpeg is not relevant to plugins]

BTW the free version of Grallion2 is an alternative to Gsnap.

Okay. So I have the wrong GSnap version/plugin?

Thank you, I may end up just trying that since this one has given me nothing but trouble.
