Audacity 3.4.2 plugins on Linux?
Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone here might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I was playing around with Audacity 3.4.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 today. I wanted to add a Realtime Effect to an audio track, but it turns out there are only a few plugins installed by default, so I clicked on "Get more effects...".
This took me to the Audacity Plugins page at https://plugins.audacityteam.org/. On this page, I found an effect that looked nice with a cool GUI for adjusting settings (MuseFX Reverb), so I decided to try it. The Audacity Plugins page says this plugin is part of MuseFX pack, and the details page for this particular plugin has a link to https://www.musehub.com/.
On https://www.musehub.com/, below the download links for Apple and Windows, it says "Looking for Linux? Muse Hub for Linux is now Muse Sounds Manager" with a link to https://musescore.org/en/download.
On https://musescore.org/en/download, the AppImage that is offered is not for Muse Sounds Manager, it is for MuseScore, but that's ok because right below that there is a DEB file that does indeed install Muse Sounds Manager.
However, when I finally install and start Muse Sounds Manager, the window does not look like what I see in tutorials for Muse Hub (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry3GcY90RQo). Specifically, in Muse Sounds Manager for Linux, I only see sounds that I can download, but no effects at all.
Can anyone help me? Thanks!
Ray

The Muse FX suite does not exist for Linux. MuseSounds manager is only for MuseSounds (as suggested by the name)

But i ignore why. MuseScore for Linux does not officially support vst3, but Audacity for Linux does.
Even the openvino plugins work in Audacity for Linux (with some effort). See this video from the Boss about openvino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wjdZrBnDsM
There is (was) no plan to provide MuseFX on Linux. https://musehub.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/community/posts/8366600269597-Well…
