Steve,

I upgraded to 2.2.2 and tried using Spitfish again but the Audacity screen left me again when I hit the play button. I had turned off the "listen" button in order to preview my adjustments of sensor and depth knobs. As to your earlier question, I'm not sure how to determine what version of Spitfish I have. But I used this website link to download it: www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=5

Do you have any other ideas? By the way, I didn't receive an error report (from Help Show screen) and was able to get back to my file again.

Steve,

I'm wondering if I should have a particular driver installed to go along with Spitfish? If so, what do you recommend? Also, which de-ssing program is best between Spitfish and Lisp? I really would rather try to make Spitfish work if possible. If I cannot do this, then I would resort to Lisp.

Does anyone have any feedback on these questions? I'm grateful for anyone's help.

The drivers on my Windows 10 HP Envy laptop are the bog-standard out-f-the-box items from HP/Microsoft - and as I said earlirer Spitfish 1.1 works for me on various released Audacity versions and the recent alphas for the upcoming 2.3.0

Sorry I can offer no further insight.

And sorry, I can't comment on comparable functionality as I only have Spitfish for QA testing purposes - not for production work.

Thank you. Do you have any ideas about what I should try next? I saw somewhere about doing this:

The overwhelming majority of VST effect plug-ins should display and process correctly. If an incompatible VST plug-in does cause a problem, click the Manage button in the effect's dialog then choose "Options...". In the dialog that appears, try reducing Buffer Size, disabling Latency Compensation or disabling graphical display. See VST Effect Options in the Manual for more information on these choices.
To report a plug-in that is problematic in current Audacity, please add it below, or write to our feedback address.
