This topic has posts from 2016 where the solution was selecting Nyquist under preferences. That's not relevant to your case.

I've split your post to a new topic as I doubt that the 7 year old thread where you posted is still relevant. “Nyquist returned the value: 18“. What does this mean Without further information, it just means that the plug-in failed. I'm going to take a wild guess - If your project, or any tracks in t...
