Whenever I try to change the meter colours in Cubase 14, the program crashes and closes. This happens repeatedly with any project, even a new blank project.
Can anyone confirm this? Thanks
Hi and welcome to the forum,
Which meter exactly do you try to change, please?
Could you please attach the *.dmp/ips file(s)?

Preferences, Metering, Appearance. It only happens in Cubase 14. Not Cubase 13 or Nuendo 13 or earlier versions. All other aspects of Cubase 14 are stable

Hi,
I expect, it’s the “+3dB Digital (Channel Meter)”, the default one, right?
Yes. That’s right. Has anyone else reported this?
Hi,
Reported to Steinberg. Thank you.
Thanks for the prompt reply. I can live with the blue meter colours for now
Hi,
You change the value(s) by using the Mouse Scroll-Wheel, right? Does it mean, you are changing the position of the area borders?
Yes. I just tried it again using the main digital meter in the right zone. As soon as I try to change colours or the border (in dB) where the colours change, it crashes

Can confirm, but only if I use the scroll wheel on the color slider. If I just drag with the mouse, it works.

Hi fese, you are right. Well spotted. Dragging in the colour pallette or on the dB borders works fine. As soon a I try to scroll with the mouse wheel, it crashes
Hi,
Yes, the DMP file mentioned the scroll wheel explicitly. That’s why I asked.
Thank you for confirmation.

Just to also chime in similar/related.

I cant even change the scale or colors at all. I dont get a crash, but the changes seem ignored. The gui will show everything visually on how it should look in the preference menu. When I hit apply or okay it just stays the same in the meters.
–Edit–
Got it to change, but nothing works unless you are changing the colors on the default +3dB Digital (Channel Meter) scale. Everything in that drop down for scales is ignored and wont work. Seems like its been a long time coming. This cant be how it’s intended to work? https://forums.steinberg.net/t/how-to-change-scale-on-the-meters-they-seem-locked-to-3db-digital-scale/691215
Anyway somethings not right there.
Confirmed here too. Crashes every time.
As far as I’m aware, the +3dB scale is the only one that applies to the channel meters. All the other scales are applicable to the master or control room outs.

If this wasn’t a typo then you’re running on an unsupported version of Windows 11.
Yep, but the configuration dialog just doesn’t make it very obvious…
