The last type of effect we’ll talk about that can be added to Audacity is a VST effect.
VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology and most of the VST effects we’ll talk about
are for use in Microsoft Windows.
So let’s take a look at how to install some of these effects.
You’ll find the installation of VST effects to be very similar to Nyquist effects.
To add a VST effect, we’ll first need to find VST effects that are compatible with
Audacity.
There is a list of effects in the Audacity manual and the link is posted in the video
description.
So we’ll pick one of the effects off this list as an example.
I’m going to select the tremolo effect.
So we’ll save this file to the Downloads folder.
After the download is complete, we can go ahead and unzip the folder.
Then we’ll take the Tremolo file and drop it into the Audacity plug ins folder.
Now we can start up Audacity and enable the effect under the effects menu.
So we’ll just play around with a few of the controls of the effect as an example just
to see it’s working.
As you can hear, the tremolo effect has been applied and we have successfully added a VST
effect to Audacity.
