Loading modules into Audacity
To use an experimental module such as Nyquist Workbench:
- Add a "modules" folder to the Audacity installation folder
- Add the file such as mod-nyq-bench.dll (Windows) or mod-nyq-bench.so (Mac) to the Modules folder, restart Audacity and open Modules Preferences
- You should see that file is marked as "New":
- Click the dropdown menu for the item, change it to "Enabled", press then restart Audacity.
When you restart Audacity, you should now see an additional "Nyquist Workbench" entry in the Tools Menu (or whatever feature the module enables).
