Thanks for your help and advice - I think we have got as far as we can. Gain: 6 Unlike more classic styles of metal, modern down-tuned styles will actually use less gain in order to stay as clean and tight as possible. They need to be tight, articulate, and super clear, even when tuned very low. Some of my initial experiments can be found here: Stephen’s high-gain sounds have always leaned towards modern metal.

For example bass/Treble spread the colour spectrum, delay creates multiple displaced overlaid images. I wanted to use Guitar rig because of its comprehensive set of effects and presets, and because there is a clear relationship between what happens to the picture and the audio effect used. Just adds an extra layer of complexity to using multiple effects for my purpose, which is glitching and reprocessing digital photographs by importing them into audacity, processing them through audio effects, and then taking them back into digital art manipulation software for further work.

Is there a 64 bit version of Audacity on the way? Otherwise I will make do with 32 bit freeware effects. I have a full suite of NI products all installed in 64 bit versions, so I am reluctant to mess with that. I’m unable to find out whether I can have a dual 32 and 64 bit installation of Guitar rig.

Bridged files were recognised on startup, but did not appear in the effects menu.
