Nyquist vocoder plugin not working
Posted: Sat Sep 14, 2013 6:29 am
I've been trying to use the vocoder plugin to make a robot voice effect.
I've split the vocal stereo track, put the vocals on one left channel, put a generated sinewave tone (with a frequency of 440 Hz and amplitude of 0.8) into the right channel, made both into a stereo track.
When I click "OK" in the vocoder window, the progress bar loads halfway before a Nyquist dialog pops up telling me "Nyquist did not return audio" without affecting the track.
When I click "Debug," I'm given the Nyquist dialog again, and when I click "OK" I get a text dialog with the following:
I am using version 2.0.2 which I got with the .dmg installer running on OSX 10.8.4
The settings I used in the vocoder window are as follows:
The vocoder plugin was included in the build; I didn't download any other plugins not included in the download package.
I would have solved the problem by downloading the 2.0.4 version, however I do not have admin privileges to install new software. If this is the way to fix it, so be it, but any solution that does not include reinstalling all of Audacity all over again would be preferred and much appreciated.
