Downloading or viewing plug-ins
- Download the plug-in:
- Left-click the download link to download the file in almost all web browsers. If this only displays the plug-in code, right-click the download link and select "Save Link As...", Save As..." or some similar "Save" or "Download" command. For further information, please see the documentation for your web browser.
- View the plug-in code:
- Chrome: Download any plug-in once, then right-click over the download button at the bottom of the browser and choose "Always open this file type".
- Firefox: Open Options or Preferences, then click the "General" section at the top. In the "Downloads" section, choose "Always ask me where to save files". When you click the download link, you now have an extra option to open the file in a chosen application instead of save it.
- Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge: Right-click the download link, choose any of the "Open" options then in the box that appears, click the "Open" button. In Edge, this also downloads the file.
- Safari: Downloaded plug-ins will automatically open in your default text editor after download. You can disable automatic open after download in Safari Preferences.
Installing plug-ins
To install a Nyquist plug-in, place its ".NY" file in the Audacity "Plug-ins" folder. In Audacity 2.1.1 or later, use Effect Manager. Select the plug-in(s) you want to install, then click and . {{Hint|1=
or to open the- On Windows the "Plug-Ins" folder is in the directory where Audacity resides - usually C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)
- On Mac place them in Audacity's "Plug-Ins" folder at ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-Ins.
- On Linux, the "plug-ins" folder is in usr/share/audacity if you installed an Audacity package supplied by your distribution, or usr/local/share/audacity if you compiled Audacity from source code. Alternatively, create a directory called .audacity-files in your home folder and then create a plug-ins or plugins folder inside that. Audacity can currently load Nyquist plug-ins from other locations, but it is recommended to use the locations listed above. In particular, ~/.audacity-data/Plug-Ins is now deprecated as a location for Nyquist plug-ins, but at the moment can still be used for these.
For further details please see http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/effect_menu.html#nyquist_effects in the Manual.
In obsolete versions of Audacity there is no Effect Manager. Restart Audacity after placing the ".NY" file in the "Plug-ins" folder.
More recent Nyquist effects may not appear in old versions of Audacity or may not work correctly. The current version of Audacity is available on the Audacity website. List of available plug-ins
Feedback and bug reports: - All new plug-ins added to this list are tested in the Audacity 2.x version current at the time, but many of the older plug-ins are still in need of testing.
- Please report any bugs to the Nyquist section of the Audacity forum (or alternatively to our feedback email address) so they may be fixed.
- Some Nyquist plug-ins are unsuitable for processing long audio tracks. If a plug-in causes excessive memory use and causes Audacity to freeze or crash when used on long tracks, please let us know so that we can either limit the plug-in to short selections or add a note to the plug-in description so as to warn other users of the possibility.
- Please also let us know which plug-ins you like and find useful as that will help us to develop the types of plug-ins that users want.
