I started a new topic for you.

Here is the help for the plugin which shows you the valid parameters for each control: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqui ... ith_Surf_2.

For the first beat frequency it is mandatory after entering the frequency to enter a space and some non-zero value for duration. Otherwise you are creating a non existent frequency that has no duration. Similarly it is pointless (but not an error according to the plugin) to omit duration for subsequent beat frequencies.

For example, these settings work:
binaural_tones.png
binaural_tones.png (55.72 KiB) Viewed 455 times
I have made a note about this on the plugin's Wiki page, but perhaps Steve could add an error message sometime if the first beat frequency field does not specify duration.

Please also note that you must create a stereo track first before generating the binaural beats.

You've obviously not tried untangling David's code ;)
This does however seem to be a fairly popular plug-in, and it's not been updated since June 2007, so it's probably due for a bit of attention. I'll take a look.
