Effect "Mutron", nyquist plugin.

[юра00]

I download plugin and place it to "Plug-Ins", choose in "Manage" - "enable", but the added plugin doesn't appear in effect list, "enable" has been changed again to "new". Please, help!

Unfortunately there is an error in that plug-in.

To fix the error:

1. Close Audacity
2. Open the file "mutron.ny" in a plain text editor (such as NotePad or NotePad++)
3. Change the third line from

   Code: Select all

   ;type effect

   to

   Code: Select all

   ;type process

4. Find the file "pluginregistry.cfg"
   For Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 it will be in:
   Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Audacity\
5. Open the file in a plain text editor
6. Search for the word "Mutron" in that file and you should find lines similar to this:

   Code: Select all

   Path=<path to your plug-in folder>mutron.ny
   Symbol=Mutron
   Name=Mutron
   Version=N/A
   Vendor=N/A
   Description=N/A
   ProviderID=Module__The Audacity Team_Nyquist Effects_
   Enabled=1
   Valid=1
   EffectType=
   EffectFamily=Nyquist
   EffectDefault=0
   EffectInteractive=1
   EffectRealtime=0
   EffectAutomatable=1
   

7. Change the line:

   Code: Select all

   EffectType=

   to:

   Code: Select all

   EffectType=Process

8. Restart Audacity

To my mind, it works. Thank you!

I have now updated mutron.ny on the wiki, so hopefully others will not have this problem.
