problem installing plug-in (SOLVED)

When I try to drop the unzipped Limiter file into Audacity’s plug-in folder, I get the circle with the line through it symbol, indicating I am trying to do something illegal.

Try logging into the computer as an administrator. The Mac does not let you modify the /Applications folder unless you are admin.

There is also the Nyquist brick wall limiter here Peak Limiter . See here for how to install Nyquist plug-ins: Missing features - Audacity Support . You will still have to be an administrator to install it. If you have an IT Manager ask him or her for help.

Hard Limiter is partly a distortion effect so is not recommended for your purpose.

I also suggest using Audacity 2.0.5 instead: Audacity ® | Download for Mac OS . You can install it to your own Desktop if you prefer then the Mac will let you modify the Audacity folder.
