I’m using Audacity to record live music on my Windows 11 machine (8GB RAM, not exactly a powerhouse), so I’m far from a high-performance setup. The built-in effects I relied on before — mostly compressor + reverb + limiter chains — were my go-to… but they came with major limitations. Every tweak meant stopping playback, waiting up to 5 minutes for a 30-second preview, then restarting. It was painfully slow. Then I discovered BYOD — and it literally rocked my world. This plugin lets me build incredibly rich, creative, and broad-ranging effect chains… live, in real time, with zero lag or delay. No more waiting. No more guessing. Just instant, musical feedback as I tweak. For someone like me — working with modest hardware and limited tools — BYOD feels like a game-changer. Life-changing, even. Thank you, developers — this is pure magic. Keep doing what you’re doing!
