I used to see Spectral Layers (included with Cubase 13) and Wavelab Elements as extensions in the Audio Menu/Extensions dropdown. Now all I see is Melodyne - which is always greyed out - and the others are missing. How do I fix the extensions connectivity in Cubase 13 on Windows 11. Thank you.
In Studio > More Options > System Component Information > Extensions Tab, you’ll find the list of ARA plug-ins recognized by Cubase, which appear as extensions in the track inspector. If extensions are missing here, it may be because Cubase doesn’t recognize the corresponding plug-in (*.vst3) files. Reinstalling the applications (e.g. WaveLab) may help.
I reinstalled spectral layers and it did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions?
I had an issue with SpectraLayers in the past where this happened. From memory, I think I ultimately had to uninstall SpectraLayers, then install it again to resolve the issue.
My best guess on why it happened at the time was that I’d initially had a trial license for SpectraLayers before purchasing. When I purchased it, I added the activation code, but I didn’t uninstall and reinstall the software (since I didn’t expect that should be necessary). I think the issue cropped up after the trial license expired (and despite my having the real license activated).
If I’m remembering incorrectly on what I did to resolve the issue, another possibility might have been that I deactivated SpectraLayers on my system, then activated it again. I know I found whatever the solution ended up being through a Google search (which may possibly have turned up something in the Steinberg forums).
