Please see my previous answer: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 17#p307917.

Here is the relevant text again:

If you need to use the 2.0.5 version of Audacity, then after putting the DLL files in the Plug-ins folder, open Edit > Preferences..., choose the "Effects" section on the left, enable the box "Rescan VST effects...", OK, and restart Audacity. When you restart, you will see a dialog and a checkbox for each new effect. Make sure the checkboxes are enabled, then OK.

the problem i am having with the latest version of audacity (2.1.2.) is that i am not able to record from a karaoke website i have been using for a long time. i am able to record a karaoke track using audacity 2.0.5. but not 2.1.2. i don't know why, i have no clue.

In either version you can change to Windows WASAPI host and use the (loopback) recording device for whatever device is playing the sound. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tuto ... tml#wasapi.

Of course, you should have copyright holders' permission to record from that karaoke site.

again, in the 2.0.5 version of Audacity, after i copy and paste the reverb dll file into audacity plugin folder, these reverbs do not show when i click effect. only anwida and glaceverb reverb shows. not other reverbs that i downloaded and placed their .dll file into the audacity plugin folder.

Again, in 2.0.5, you have to use Edit > Preferences..., choose the "Effects" section on the left, enable the box "Rescan VST effects...", OK, and restart Audacity. When you restart, you will see a dialog and a checkbox for each new effect. Make sure the checkboxes are enabled, then OK. You have to do this every time you add a new effect into the "Plug-Ins" folder.

Also be aware that Audacity is a 32-bit application. So you must install only 32-bit plugins into Audacity's Plug-Ins folder, even though you have a 64-bit version of Windows.

you are right Gale, i should have downloaded the 32 bit plugins. thank you so kindly.

I will mark this topic {SOLVED] and lock it as this has drifted away from the original subject.

If you have any more problems recording computer playback, please just start a new topic.
