Issue with SpecturaLayers 11 ARA in Cubase 14

SpectraLayers
1

When the ARA is loaded on a track there is no sound. I am also not able to drag and drop layers. There is no issue with SpecturaLayers 10 ARA.

Mac Studio M1, Cubase 14, SpecturaLayers 11 ARA. The standalone version works fine.

Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix or something I’m missing? Thanks. Should mention I have reinstalled SpecturaLayers 11, still no joy.

this is not being answered? Have you found a answer? im having similar issues

I never got an answer and have since stopped using SpectralLayers 11 as I work mostly in surround tracks. I did not bother with SpectralLayers 12 for that reason. I am surprised at this as I would have expected more from Steinberg. If you are using stereo tracks SpectralLayers 11 ARA seems to work. And as stated in my first post, the standalone version works.

Have you tried deleting the preferences for SpectraLayers 11?

I have a similar setup and have not had those problems.

I have not used it in so long I don’t remember. But thanks for the tip. I will give it a try to see. I do remeber uninstalling and reinstalling, but not specifically deleting the preferences.

I’m using Cubase 15 now and the Spectralayers ARA crashing Cubase 15. Not usable at all.

There’s probably something fishy with your setup. I use SpectraLayers 12 in ARA with Cubase 15 on Mac Studio M1 under Sequoia and have no problems (except for Cubase not being able to communicate the correct Track/Part colour with SpectraLayers, which seems to be a bug according to Steinberg support).

So it might be worth while to ditch the prefs, you know they don’t get refreshed with an uninstall/reinstall.

I did delete preferences and it still did not work. I have given up on Spectralayers 11 with Cubase 15. Just does not work. I have not upgraded to version 12 as I don’t want to put good money after bad.

Ok, I’m sorry you have this problem, I can’t help you.

Maybe the Steinberg support can, even though they sometimes don’t seem to know the fundamentals of SpectraLayers.

Thank you for trying. These things are so complicated and I know system specific. I just ran out of ime to deal with the broken ARA. Really apprectate your input.

You can demo SL12 to see, if it crashes
