![]() ![]() ![]() The late David Sky used to do this for his own Nyquist plug-ins. I think there is a case for bundling some Nyquist plug-ins (which work on any operating system) together as an optional download. Most VSTs are for Windows, and Linux mostly can’t use them at all.Their non-GPL licensing means their authors would have to be asked for permission if we could include them in a download bundle.There are thousands of VST plug-ins out there.Making a download bundle of VST plug-ins would not be practical: Most VST plug-ins aren’t GPL, although (on most reasonable interpretations of GPL) it is permitted that non-GPL programs can be added by the user at run time. Also, Audacity is GPL licensed, so we can only distribute plug-ins in Audacity that have the exact same version of that GPL licence. The Beta download size has been edging up remorselessly, even disregarding that the Windows/Mac installers now include a Help folder. There is a question of the download size of the Audacity executable. How about putting all the things the developers dont want to include in the distribution in one file so we can get all those extra fx and other goodies, vst nyquist whatever, in one swell foop to install with the official audacity distribution which appears to be incomplete since the developers chose to omit parts of it so there wouldnt be “too many” items in a drop down list.Īs regards why the developers chose not to include a lot of effects, It isn’t just a question of overloading the effect or other menus. ![]()
