Hi Folks,
I use Audacity in my “day job” editing radio shows for podcast. I’m also a developer and would like to develop plugins. For various reasons I’ve decided on the LV2 format. I’m working on OSX 10.9.5.
I’m having trouble getting Audacity to find the LV2 plugins that I’ve got installed, and also a plugin is appearing in the Effects menu but I’m not sure where it’s located. The effect that’s listed is called “Simple Amplifier” - it’s GUI doesn’t give any more info than that but I think it’s the “eg-amp” plugin that comes with the LV2 SDK.
I’ve gone through what I think is all the install locations for LV2 plugins:
New-MacBook:test.lv2 chris$ echo $LV2_PATH
New-MacBook:test.lv2 chris$ ls ~/.lv2
ls: /Users/chris/.lv2: No such file or directory
New-MacBook:test.lv2 chris$ ls ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2
ls: /Users/chris/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2: No such file or directory
New-MacBook:test.lv2 chris$ ls /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2
lv2core.lv2
New-MacBook:test.lv2 chris$ ls /usr/local/lib/lv2
atom.lv2 eg-metro.lv2 log.lv2 patch.lv2 time.lv2
buf-size.lv2 eg-midigate.lv2 lv2core.lv2 port-groups.lv2 ui.lv2
data-access.lv2 eg-sampler.lv2 midi.lv2 port-props.lv2 units.lv2
dynmanifest.lv2 eg-scope.lv2 morph.lv2 presets.lv2 uri-map.lv2
eg-amp.lv2 event.lv2 options.lv2 resize-port.lv2 urid.lv2
eg-fifths.lv2 instance-access.lv2 parameters.lv2 state.lv2 worker.lv2
New-MacBook:test.lv2 chris$ ls /usr/lib/lv2
ls: /usr/lib/lv2: No such file or directory
Any idea why I’m only seeing one LV2 plugin listed? Shouldn’t all (or none?) of the plugins in /usr/local/lib/lv2 be appearing?
Cheers,
Chris
