Cannot activate dll-Plugin

Post by hasesh » Fri May 21, 2021 9:13 pm

Hi,

I installed Audacity 3.0.2 on my PC Windows 64-Bit.

I have installed Little Alterboy (Soundtoy), a VST-Plugin - dll-File.

In Audacity "Tools" the Little Alterboy Plugin is on the list. But when I try to acitvate... then the erro occures:

"dll-File could not be registered. Cannot load the bibliothek."


What is to do?

Thank you for your help!

On Windows, Audacity supports 32-bit VST only. No 64-bit plug-ins will work in Audacity on Windows until 64-bit Audacity becomes available.

The 32-bit version of Soundtoys "may" work (I'm not on Windows and I've not tried it), but note that Audacity is not officially supported by Soundtoys: https://support.soundtoys.com/article/4 ... patibility
