Have a look in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\Plug-Ins\"
Do you see a bunch of files with file extension ".ny"
For example:

Code: Select all

adjustable-fade.ny
beat.ny
clipfix.ny
crossfadeclips.ny
...

[rj7500]

The 'Plug Ins' file is empty

Hooray, we've found the problem.

Download the "Audacity 2.2.2 installer " from here: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
When it has downloaded, double click on the .EXE file to run the installer.
When the installation is complete, check again in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\Plug-Ins\"

[rj7500]

Ok.......see attached error message during intall

[steve]

You probably need to right click on the installer and select "Run as administrator" (I rarely use Windows, so if that's not quite right you may need to Google)

[rj7500]

Should I uninstall the previous version before installing the new one?

[steve]

Yes you can do that.

Hi
Reinstalling solved the problem, crossfade is now listed in the effects queue.
Always a pleasure dealing with you folks.
Thank you
Bob H

Thanks for reporting back Bob - glad we solved your problem and you've got the crossfade effect
