Downloading or viewing plug-ins

Download:

• 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 Nyquist plug-ins in Audacity, follow the instructions in the Audacity manual:

• Windows instructions
• Mac instructions
• Linux instructions

Compatibility

These plug-ins were contributed over many years, and many versions of Audacity. In the vast majority of cases, old plug-ins should continue to work in more recent versions of Audacity. More recent Nyquist effects may not install in old versions of Audacity or may not work correctly.

It is highly recommended to use the latest release version of Audacity, which is available via 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.
