Abstract
At least on a Mac Audacity seems to have issues when it comes to using third party plugins (i.e. AU or VSTs). To pinpoint which type of plugin is responsible for poor Audacity to crash, you can do the following.
I. Locate Audacity Config File
On a Crapple Mac the audacity.cfg file should be located here:
/Users/<your-username>/Library/Application Support/audacity
With a production time of 12mths definitely a long term project. Did it pay off? We’d say fu**ing yes!!! Our recommendation: listen and relax, folks…

They rather introduce the “Waves License Center“. However, customers used to iLoks can keep using them. It is expected the software based license system will bring a major improvement of the plugins’ processing speed.
Company
Waves Audio Ltd. is a leading developer of audio processing technologies with development facilities in Tennessee (USA), Tel Aviv (Israel) and Shenzen (China). Waves Audio was among the first to offer filter solutions to the vuvuzela noises at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Just in time for the Musikmesse in Frankfurt (March 21st – 24th, 2012), the german audio company RME just presented a new possibly record breaking digital audio card. According to Digital Audionetworx and Synthax Store (both german only) the “HDSPe MADI FX” will feature:
The platform independent and Open Source driven audio editing software Audacity has been released in version 2.0. Audacity is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Many people say, Audacity is simply one of the best software audio editors with a huge amount of well designed built-in functions (fading, normalizing, vocal remover etc.).
It is compatible to LADSPA-Plugins, Nyquist-Plugins and VST-Effects.
Although the GUI should imho still be enhanced in comparison to its commercial competitors (Steinberg Wavelab, Sony Soundforge, Adobe Audition etc.), Audacity is a must-have, as it is free and from a technical point of view it is impressively powerful.
Don’t waste your time and grab your copy now.
The german Telemediengesetz requires anonymous or pseudonymous registration of internet services. By forcing customers to use Facebook this law is broken by Spotify.

Today Spotify has eventually been launched in Germany. For all german users having registered in other countries via proxies now it is the time to change the country to Germany.
Sadly for new registrants: sole Spotify accounts are not available anymore. Registration requires a Facebook account since november 2011. There is no way around it. Old Non-Facebook accounts will still remain functional.
