Downloaded iZotope Vinyl plug in for Audacity 2.4.2 running on my Windows 10 laptop. When I go to Effects>Add/Remove Plug-Ins, the iZotope files appear as “New”, but after I click to enable them, then click OK, I receive the error message: Effect or Command at C:\Program Files(x86)\Audacity\plug-ins\Steinberg\VstPlugins\iZVinyl.dll failed to register: could not load the library.
I don’t know if any versions of iZotope Vinyl work with Audacity (I use Linux), but the iZotope website says:
