I cant download the nyquist plugin

I literally cannot find the .ny file people are talking about thats supposed to be on my computer and the manual isnt helping me. Everytime I try to download the nyquist plugin installer, I keep getting an error message that says “C:\Users\myname\Desktop\untitled isnt a valid file path” which is confusing me because thats the same file name thats used on the manual.

This is my first time using audacity help me please💔 theres no .ny files on my computer im confused as hell (im on windows)

What plug-in are you looking for?

The .ny files should be in Program Files > Audacity > Plug-ins.

Several .ny plug-ins are included automatically when you install Audacity,

The Nyquist installer is built-in. But I don’t think I’ve ever used it. I’ve just copied any optional .ny files to the Plug-ins folder. That’s all there is to “installation” of Nyquist plug-ins. (3re-party VST plug-ins normally require that you run the installer for the particular plug-in and they get installed to a different location.)

You may have to go to Tools . Plug-in Manager to enable some plug-ins so they show-up under Effect or Analyze.

You may have downloaded the nyquist plugin file to somewhere other than “Desktop”,
e.g. “Downloads”.

I have everything enabled in the plugin manager for audacity. I found the .ny files in my program files like you mentioned!! but do you know how to get the installer to work if you dont mind me asking😅

Instructions are here: Nyquist Plugin Installer - Audacity Manual

Not gonna lie the manual isnt helping me im still confused😭 I located the .ny files on my pc but I just dont know what to do with the files or where to add them to be able to install the nyquist plugin.

Click on “Browse” button in the Nyquist installer, then select the plugin file (it ends in “.ny”).


Then click “Apply”. Then restart Audacity.
