![]() ![]() In that "audacity" folder, delete the pluginregistry.cfg and pluginsettings.cfg files and restart Audacity. To do this, quit Audacity, open Finder, use Go > Go to Folder then type in ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/. In that case it may be best to reset Audacity so that it only loads the enabled effects it came with on first installation. Sometimes it may be unclear what type of plug-ins have caused Audacity not to launch, or you may possibly notice Audacity has become generally less stable after installing plug-ins of various types. General instability after installing plug-ins If you don't need VST plug-ins in Audacity, you can edit/create audacity.cfg so that VST plug-ins are also disabled: If Audacity still hangs then the problem could be with VST Plug-ins. Then save the changes to audacity.cfg and restart Audacity. If you are creating audacity.cfg from scratch, enter all these lines: To disable Audio Units, edit (or add) an "AudioUnits" entry to audacity.cfg so it looks like this: If Audacity has never quit cleanly, you may need to create audacity.cfg by using File > New in TextEdit. Look in that "audacity" folder for audacity.cfg. In Finder, use Go > Go to Folder then type in ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/. Force-quit Audacity if it is still running (Option - Command - Esc). If crashes or hangs on launch persist after moving individual plug-ins, you can disable all AU support in Audacity by using the audacity.cfg settings file. Then move the offending plug-in(s) from the Components folder as above. Open Finder, then choose Go > Go to Folder and type: Alternatively you can find the crash reports in the system logs. You can capture the crash report if required by clicking in the report, COMMAND + A to select all, then COMMAND + C to copy. In the unlikely event that an AU plug-in crashes or hangs Audacity on launch, you can look in the Mac Crash Report to find the AU plug-in that caused the problem. If preferred, you could restart Audacity then disable all AU effects in Audacity in Effects Preferences, which again removes them from Effect Menu. They will be relisted in Plug-in Manager as "New" rather than "Disabled".Īlternatively if the same plug-ins also misbehave in other audio applications you can move them from ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components or /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components which will cause them to be listed as "Disabled" in Plug-in Manager after you restart Audacity. If Audacity crashes immediately after you enable one or more Audio Units in Plug-in Manager, the effect(s) that crashed should be disabled next time you launch Audacity. This effect will then not be available in Effect Menu. If Audacity crashes when an Audio Unit is launched from the Effect Menu or applied to the audio, you can restart Audacity then try disabling the effect in the Plug-in Manager. Troubleshooting crashes Plug-in crashes while Audacity is open You can find a useful list of third-party AU plug-ins (free and demo/paid-for) on Hitsquad. ![]() There are some screenshots of Audio Units plug-ins in Audacity here. This limits that effect to a tabular interface with sliders. If interface difficulties arise with any particular effect, click its "Manage" button, then "Options.", uncheck "Enable graphical interface" and restart the effect. Like VST plug-ins in Audacity, Audio Units display their full GUI interface by default, where one is provided. Examples of MusicEffects are all those from DestroyFX, Ohm Force and SFXmachine, plus FXpansion Snippet, Tobybear MadShifta and u-he MFM2. Audacity doesn't yet accept MIDI input, so although MusicEffects should work fine as audio effects, parameters need to be set manually. This class of Audio Unit supports audio input like pure "Effect" AU's but has the ability to use MIDI input to set effect parameters. For help with AU presets, see this page in the Manual.Īudio Unit "MusicEffects" are supported. ![]() To install newly obtained Audio Units into Audacity, please see this page in the Manual. ![]() In a new installation of Audacity, Audio Units already existing on the system are not enabled by default, but can be enabled in Audacity's Plug-in Manager.
