PLUGIN DATA DOES NOT SAVE (SPITFISH / FLOORFISH / BLOCKFISH)

[rely stuff 2]

Hi everyone. I use the SPITFISH De-esser, and the FLOORFISH gate primarily.

When I save my project, close cakewalk, and reopen my project, the plugin parameters are randomized when I open the plugin again.

Does anyone know a fix for this (it only occurs with the SPITFISH, FLOORFISH, and BLOCKFISH plugins)?

Yes. The fix is to ditch them and move on. They are 32 bit abandonware.

Well, do check out that thread. LISP by SleepyTimeDSP is pretty good. ToneBoosters has recently released Sibalance for free. Both of them surpass the legendary Fish Fillets, IMO.

Go to libbyapp.com and check out the latest issue of Computer Music (for free) and you will get access to many dozens of pretty great FX and instruments, one of which is Unfiltered Audio's G8 CM, which is better than any other gate on the market, with the exception of Unfiltered Audio's full version. If you think Floorfish is great, G8 CM has everything you need and then some. They also have a version of Sibalance, which is now unnecessary since the ToneBoosters release.

The Fish Fillets were great back when all was 32-bit and good freeware plug-ins were more rare, but trying to choose great freeware FX these days is like trying to drink from the proverbial firehose.

if you're wrapping them with bitbridge (cbb default), you could try jbridge instead? works better with some plugs

/goodluck
