Audacity Forum

A few months ago, I used Apple's Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my earlier Mac computer to my new iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8. BIAS SoundSoap 2.2.0 got copied to the new iMac.

I installed Audacity Beta 1.3.13 on the new iMac a few days ago. Sometimes, when I click on the Audacity Beta 1.3.13 icon that I put in the dock, a "Welcome to BIAS Soundsoap 2.2.0" message comes up, asking whether I would like to authorize it.

I am having trouble authorizing it, and have contacted BIAS tech support about that. My question for you is, are you surprised this message comes up when I click on the Audacity icon? Does it make any sense to you?

(I have no problem circumventing the BIAS message, and opening Audacity.)

Audacity is attempting to load BIAS Soundsoap as a plug-in.
See here for some information about plug-in support in Audacity: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Plug-ins
You can select which type of plug-ins are enabled in Audacity in the "Effects" section of Preferences.

It's normal if you load trialware/nagware/unauthorised plug-ins. Audacity doesn't and shouldn't suppress those plug-in messages.
