I am trying to install bit crusher, yet when I do, and I open up my plugins on audacity, it isn’t appearing. And I can’t find the plugins folder on my computer. Can I get some help? Am I just being stupid?
Note: I am using Windows.
A collection of mostly trivial Nyquist plugins for the Audacity audio editor. Currently contains the following plug-ins: A simple bitcrusher, simulating the effect of reducing the bitrate to anywhere between 1 and 16 bits. Strangely enough Audacity doesn't have
this built in. Rhythmically chops up the given selection, based on a given pattern. The pattern is a string of 0s and 1s, where 0 means silence and 1 means pass-thru. The pattern can be repeated up to 256 times. Also called a gater in some DAWs. Another simple effect I've often missed in Audacity. Applies a simple clip&gain.

Alright well, I can't use the "Degrade" extension without Audacity crashing. Also, I can't figure out how to convert the wav file to LPC

bitcrushing?
I was wondering would bitcrushing work for turning game music to sound more 8bit/chiptuney
if so how would I bit crush a wav file with audacity
if not how would I go about turning a wav file to sound more like this?
I have tried using GXSCC but I would need to know how to separate certain sound to another audio channel
so it can player them correctly

Can you point to a sound you like? Address? And then point to music you would like to convert. Any non-gamers are going to be lost by game and data buzz words.

Audacity has a thing called "Nyquist Prompt" in its Effects list. If you put "(quantize s 4)" into Nyquist Prompt, then apply Nyquist Prompt as if it was an effect, it will produce a bit-crush effect , ( the lower the number the lower the bit-depth )

You'll probably want to apply equation after quantization to reduce the high-frequencies.
A free bit-crush plugin is
"mda degrade" , however the most recent Audacity it will work in is 2.0.6.
The only bit-crusher I have which will work in the most recent version of Audacity (2.1.1.) is the one in DBlue Glitch 1.3 ...

Ensure that "Use legacy (version 3) syntax" is selected.

The dblue_crusher plugin is easier to use than Glitch if you just want a bitcrush effect.
[ The dblue_crusher plugin is in the same zip-file from "illformed.org" where you got the Glitch plugin ].

I'd just apply bit-crush effect to the bassline for something that resembles 8-bit music ...
Make a duplicate version of the music in Audacity , then remove everything above about 300Hz from the duplicate using Audacity's equalizer, then apply dblue crusher effect to the duplicate with the settings shown above. The duplicate is now a bit-crushed bassline, mix that with the original music according to your own taste.
