What happened to Freeverb?

[Aardy]

Does Freeverb (or Freeverb2 as it is now) still come with Audacity? The documentation and tutorials all say it does but I can't find it in my plugins folder.

The 1.3.3 beta release comes with something called Gverb_1216.so but that just crashes the 1.2 release.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Freeverb is still available in one of the plug-in packs, but I don't remember off hand which one.
Oh hang on a minute - If I type "audacity freeverb" into Google, it comes up with this page:
http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... b#Freeverb
Does that help?

Thanks for that.

I looked all over the place except the wiki (silly me).

It seems that the documentation hasn't been updated to reflect that it isn't distributed with Audacity any more

I can't get either Gverb or Freeverb to work on the 1.2.6 version of Audacity on my Mac G5 running 10.4.11.

Gverb crashes Audacity when it's in the audacity plugins folder and gets ignored with everything else when it's installer puts the bundle in my system/library/audio/plugins/LADSPA folder. Freeverb goes in my system/library/audio/plugins/VST folder where Audacity also ignores it and other VST plugins, even with the VST bridge placed in the Audacity plugins folder.

Am I missing something?

This is the only information I have on Freeverb for Mac OS X:

OS X instructions

After obtaining the OS X VST version of Freeverb listed above, download the VST Enabler . Double-click the .dmg file to mount it, and drag the vst-bridge.so file inside the .dmg into the Plug-Ins folder inside your Audacity installation folder - this is normally under "Applications". Then extract Freeverb from the downloaded sit folder with Stuffit and place it in your Audacity Plug-Ins folder and restart Audacity. Freeverb should now be visible in the Effect Menu underneath the separator.

If you are on a case-sensitive file system, make sure you have the upper case "P" and " I" and the hyphen "-" in the name of the Audacity Plug-Ins folder. If you are on OS X 10.3 or earlier and experience difficulties launching Audacity after installing vst-bridge.so in the Audacity Plug-Ins folder, try this later version of the VST Enabler .



Installation (OS X Audio Units):

Audio Units plugins require OS X 10.3 or later and the Beta series of Audacity 1.3.1 or later. Double-click the downloaded .dmg containing Freeverb and drag the plug-in files into either:
/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/LADSPA or
~/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/LADSPA.
