How do you install VST plugins?

I've downloaded some Kjaerhus VST plug-in effects, but when I open Audacity, I don't see them on the "Effects" list.

I can see the plug-ins in the Audacity plug-ins folder, but I don't see them appearing in Audacity itself.

What is the process for installing VST plug-ins?

Thanks.

You probably just need to restart Audacity as explained on this Wiki page.

Nope, that didn't work.

Any other ideas?

Read the Wiki VST Plug-ins page again. Have you installed the VST Enabler?

Where are you looking? The plug-ins should be in the Effect menu underneath the divider.

Or use Beta 1.3.12 which doesn't need the VST Enabler.

Okay, I figured this out.

Turns out I needed to go to Preferences and check "Rescan VST effects next time Audacity is started".

Thanks for your help!
