A VST plugin is a software-based audio effect or a virtual instrument intended for use in a host program that supports Virtual Studio Technology. Most digital audio workstations nowadays can load VST and VST3 plugins. VST plugins are used to expand a virtual music studio, much like how hardware effects and instruments are utilized in a real studio.

Info from Trebor, triaged by Gale, that can be incorporated into this page (add those plugins not already listed).

Viper aims to deliver the sound characteristics of legendary hardware synthesizers in a virtual format. It comes with multitude of features like: multiple Oscillator types, Sync, Frequency Modulation, Ring Modulation, Unison up to 8 voices, Filter Saturation, Filter Routings, Modulation Matrix, high quality Effects, a powerful Arpeggiator, and much more! Here are 10 reasons why pirated plugins can mess up your sessions, make you lose money, and hurt the quality of what you do. 3758b9b5-045c-4b7d-b020-80f9b068d990 07:10 AM EST.

This page describes support for VST (Virtual Studio Technology) effect plug-ins in Audacity; VST instrument plug-ins that generate audio are not supported. A list of VST effects known to process correctly in Audacity on Windows is given here. VST effects are supported by Audacity on OS X and GNU/Linux, but relatively few are available on Mac (due to Apple's competing Audio Units technology) and even fewer on Linux. If a specific VST effect is required on Linux, it may be necessary to employ workarounds such as running Audacity for Windows in a virtual machine.

VST support in Audacity

On Windows and Mac OS X, Audacity is a 32-bit application so won't see 64-bit versions of VST plug-ins, even on 64-bit operating systems. On GNU/Linux, 32-bit systems will have 32-bit versions of Audacity which won't see 64-bit VST plug-ins. 64-bit systems will have 64-bit versions of Audacity which will see 64-bit VST plug-ins but won't see 32-bit plug-ins. VST instruments (VSTi) (such as synths) and real-time VST effects (that change the audio data while playing or recording) are not yet supported. VST 3 plug-ins are not supported.

VST effects are displayed with full GUI interface (where provided by the plug-in), and without need of the VST Enabler. This has been made possible by use of an open source VST header.

Free Vst Plugins Download

For instructions on how to load new VST effects into Audacity please see this page in the Manual.

The overwhelming majority of VST effect plug-ins should display and process correctly. If an incompatible VST plug-in does cause a problem, click the Manage button in the effect's dialog then choose 'Options...'. In the dialog that appears, try reducing Buffer Size, disabling Latency Compensation or disabling graphical display. See VST Effect Options in the Manual for more information on these choices.

• To report a plug-in that is problematic in current Audacity, please report it on the Audacity Forum.

Installing VST plug-ins in Audacity

The process and file location is different for each operating system. See the following pages in the Audacity Manual:

List of functional VST Plug-ins

Instructions for adding plug-ins to the list: Please insert new plug-ins that work in Audacity in the correct place so as to keep the list sorted in alphabetical order. Please give a download link to the plug-in if possible, enclosing the link inside single square brackets - for example: [http://www.linktoplugin.com] If plug-ins are not free, please note this.

• The majority of plug-ins will be for Windows only unless OS 9 or OS X is stated.
• Classic Mac OS plug-ins will only work under OS 9 and previous. Mac OS X plug-ins with a .component file marked as 'PowerPC' will only work on PPC Macs (they might work on Intel Macs with slow performance under Rosetta but Rosetta cannot be used on OS X 10.7 or later).

List of Plug-ins with download links

• Antares AutoTune Evo - Mostly works with current Audacity. Automatic pitch correction works, but to be able to draw pitch curves clock must be set to 'internal' and not 'host'. (commercial)
• Antress Modern Plug-ins including a number of compressors, a limiter, an expander, an exciter and a 'spacer' which could be used for creating 'fake stereo'
• ANWIDA Soft DX Reverb Light.dll for Windows and Mac (PowerPC only)
• Bo Johansen Plug-ins
• Bluecat Plug-ins
• bs2b.dll stereo to binaural
• Buzzroom CL 201 (Vintage Maximiser) - now shareware

Peter 16Nov15: I'm not sure I want us to continue linking to the Brothersoft site (or its plug-ins) the very first ad I got served on that page was for a porn site - sure the adds cycled round with normal sensible ads but they were on a cycle and the porn ad kept returning. And It carries a misleading big green 'Download' button !

• Gale 18Nov15: The Classic plugins below are discontinued. The links were pointing to Brothersoft which is a dubious site and now point to VST4free which is much less bad. Also you can get the complete bundle from http://acoustica1.cachefly.net/other/Classic-Effects-Installer.exe. The installer puts the plugins in %PROGRAMFILES%VST where (according to the Manual and VSTEffect.cpp) Audacity should not see them unless a registry key or VST_PATH environment variable points there. But Audacity does see them (on Win 10).

Peter 16Nov15: Rather than linking direct to the downloads for these digitalfishphones plug-ins, might it not be better to link to the site's download page for them as it tells the user, in some detail, just what each one is for: THD, dominion and normalizer?

• Gale 17Nov15: Any other plugins are not listed because presumably no-one tested them. Yes, show a landing page with detail for the plugin if there is one. But if we have a table like I suggest we can link to the publisher and the plugin in a less confusing way.

List of Plug-ins with known problems

Instructions for adding VST effect plug-ins to the list: Please do not add VST instrument plug-ins to the list, because Audacity won't work with any of those. List effect plug-ins that do not work properly in Audacity, giving a short note of the problem, such as 'Audacity won't launch', 'plug-in does not appear in Effect Menu', 'not all controls available', 'audio not processed'. Please give a download link to the plug-in if possible, enclosing the link inside single square brackets - for example: [http://www.linktoplugin.com] Please also give your operating system such as Windows 10 or Mac OS X 10.9.4, the date of your report, and the version of Audacity used. Feel free to use current Audacity to retest any plug-ins that did not work with legacy VST Enabler or legacy 1.x versions of Audacity. If plug-ins now work, please move them up into the 'working' list. Audacity 2.0.6 onwards supports buffer delay compensation. Most plug-ins previously listed below that suffered from inserted silence due to Audacity's lack of compensation are no longer listed.

In addition to the below list, the following plug-ins do not have functioning sliders in Audacity 2.1.0 or later and so will only apply at default settings. See Bug 1083.

• JS plug-ins
• MDA VST's
• stereoizer.dll

Plug-in	OS	Date	Audacity version	Symptoms
Auto-Tune	Windows	Dec.2012	Audacity 2.0.1	Tuning by MIDI input is not supported.
BlueCat	OS X	Sep.2014	Audacity 2.0.5, 2.0.6	In 2.0.5, the plug-in interface does not work, so you can only use default settings. The interface works in 2.0.6, but in both versions, saving a preset will lock out the main Audacity window, requiring to close Audacity from the Dock.
CM Vocoder	Windows/OS X	Sep.08	Audacity 1.3.8+	Does not appear
Effect Chainer DX and VST wrapper	Windows	Jan.08	All	can't host any plug-ins
FFX-4 DX and VST Wrapper	Windows	Jan.08	All	can't host any plug-ins
Freeverb2	Windows 7	Oct.11	Audacity 1.3.13	Only tabular interface, no preset support
GRM Tools	OS X	May 2014	Audacity 2.0.6-alpha	Interface cannot be used (so the effects can only be used at default settings) or interface disappears completely when loading preset. The interface is likely to be available in 2.0.6 release, but attempting to save a preset in any Audacity version could lock out the main Audacity window.
GRM Tools	Windows	Sep.08	Audacity 1.3.8+	unspecified
GSnap	Windows	Jan.2014	Audacity 2.0.6	Tuning by MIDI input is not supported.
keFIR	Windows	Apr.08	VST-Bridge 1.1	has no effect on audio
kn0ck0ut	Windows	Sep.2014	Audacity 2.0.6-alpha	Despite Audacity 2.0.6 or later supporting buffer delay compensation, the start of the processed audio has silence inserted and a corresponding length is removed from the end of the processed audio. This also occurs in Goldwave and Wavosaur so is probably a bug in Kn0ck0ut, but the VST version is no longer being developed, only an LV2 version.
Sonic Maximizer	Windows	Sep.2007	VST-Bridge 1.1	not in Effect menu
SoundSoap2 (discontinued) (see also SoundSoap3)	Windows, OS X	2007 (various)	All	Audacity won't launch
Spectro	Windows	Nov.2014	2.0.7-alpha	No spectrum visible in plug-in window
String Studio	Windows	2007 (various)	VST-Bridge 1.1	Audacity won't launch
T RackS 3	OS X	Dec.2009	All	Audacity won't launch
VisualVOX VST	Windows	Jan.2008	VST-Bridge 1.1	No interface, just silences audio
Waves V5	Windows	Dec.2012	Audacity 2.0.2	Hangs Audacity on launch
Waves V8	OS X	Feb.2013	Audacity 2.0.3	Only tabular interface. Two entries (m) and (s) for each effect. GarageBand does not have either problem.(1)

(1) Audio Unit versions of Waves may cause Audacity 2.0.4 or earlier to freeze or crash on launch. In 2.0.5 or later, Waves Audio Units may cause a freeze or crash when the effect is chosen from the Effect Menu.
