Hi all
I am running Linux Mint13 with Audacity 2. I am trying to understand how to enable certain VSTs, specifically killerringer. I can find a .dll file for the effect but nothing else. Do I need to be using Windows instead of Mint? Apologies if this has been asked before.
Many thanks
Kyle

Re: Plug ins
Audacity does not support VST on Linux (and there are very few VST plug-ins for Linux).
On Linux you can use LADSPA and Nyquist plug-ins.
There are many LADSPA plug-ins available (as an example, search the Mint repository for "Tap plug-ins").
Note that Audacity does not support "all" LADSPA plug-ins. The Tap plug-ins have some of my favourites.
There are many Nyquist plug-ins available here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Downl ... t_Plug-ins

Re: Plug ins
Many thanks, in terms of the type of thing I was specifically after, do I just need to search the web?

Re: Plug ins
Also, sorry, I am recording using my usb mic but only seem to be getting one channel? Do I need to make a recording and then change it into 2 track stereo?
Re: Plug ins
You could try the modulation effects listed here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyqui ... on_Effects

That is normal. Set Audacity to record "1 channel (mono)" in the Device Toolbar.Kylerickards wrote:I am recording using my usb mic but only seem to be getting one channel?
Yo will only need to convert the track to stereo if you wish to apply a stereo effect, otherwise you can keep it as a mono track. Mono tracks can be panned left/right using the "pan slider" on the left end of the track.Kylerickards wrote:Do I need to make a recording and then change it into 2 track stereo?
