Spectral Layers 11.0.4 Crashed Cubase 14

Hello There,
Spectral Layers 11 Elements crashed Cubase 14, very high processor utilization despite new installation. Grayed out preset menus, No Preview available… annoying

Cubase 14.0.5 64bit2024.11.14 17.38.03.642.dmp (3,4 MB)

What can I do to use Cubase 14 with SL 11?

EDIT:

No sooner said than done, same problem for some reason I’m running SL GO instead of Elements
Cubase 13.0.50 64bit 2024.11.14 17.52.20.008-freezedump.dmp (1,8 MB)


It no longer works with Cubase 13 either.
DAMN SL ONE over SL Elements

Grateful for help

I’m a bit confused by your message, first you say you’re running SpectraLayers One, yet you provide a message saying you’re running SpectraLayers Go.
Then you say it keeps running SpectraLayers One despite activating your SpectraLayers Elements license, and you provide a screenshot showing you’re running SpectraLayers Elements ?

Regarding no preview available: can you provide a screenshot with that option not being available ?

Can you also provide a screenshot of your Steinberg Activation Manager so I can see what SpectraLayers licenses are available and activated/deactivated ?

What’s your full computer configuration ? (CPU/ RAM/GPU/Windows version)

can press the preview button, but nothing is rendered, you can’t see that on a screenshot ;(
What’s strange is that SL One is addressed but an Elements version is started and the unmix vocals function is grayed out (can be seen in the screenshot above)

Specifications in the avatar
EDIT:

AMD Radeon™ RX 6800 XT (driver only)

Pressed that Button, grayed out … no action :frowning:

I have an SL Elements 11 License, but the message said it’s SL GO.
I’m wondering too.

And after a while it crashes.
EDIT:
New Message:


CPU too slow … what?

Same in CB 13 before the installation of CB 14 everything works fine.

With the Unmix Song module preview doesn’t start immediately, it first need to precompute for 6-8 seconds before the preview starts, specially in high quality.
However it seems your CPU is too slow to handle realtime preview in High quality.
That being said, since you have a Radeon RX 6800 GPU, activate the GPU acceleration in Edit > Preferences > System > AI Processing Device, it’ll go much faster than you CPU.

Do you still have the message that says “SpectraLayers Go” ? It seems you’re properly running SpectraLayers Elements as I can see in your screenshots.

CPU too slow?

i will change to gpu acceleration

Yep, Unmix Song is particularly CPU intensive, even with modern CPUs. A modern GPU will handle it easily though.

Better results with GPU acceleration !

And no futrther messages with SL GO.

Hopefully it doesnt crash again!

Thanks for the support

I’ve got this message even on MBP16 M3MAX 16/40 64GB :wink:

So Robin said :wink:

@martircz What module, what preset ? If Unmix Song in Extreme mode that’s fully expected, considering it’s… an Extreme mode.

Yes, exactly :slight_smile: Unmix Song Extreme and selected Drums, Bass, Piano, Other.

I guess I should have named that mode Insane :slight_smile:

This is ok :slight_smile:

I’ve problem with Unmix Multiple Voices (SL11Pro). I select small part with voice, click Register voice, Preview, Apply then it’s separated ok.
But when I click Apply with a larger selected part (eg. 1 minute) or the whole file, it computes something quite quickly, but then it stops at some percent and even after a night I must Force Quit.

Hi Robin, would this feature work with a 4070 Ti Super? I’ve set this graphics card over as the favored GPU processor but sometimes I’m not certain if it’s working. I still get processor to slow messages . Apart from simply choosing the GPU as a favored processor, is there some other way to confirm whether it is being addressed for the preview function?

@martircz If you have an audio sample to share with a precise step by step to repro the issue, I can have a look at it.

@BJ_Dobbs Yes a 4070 Ti should let you preview the Extreme mode in real time.

I’ve extracted some part and it does also and Cancel also can not be pressed:
Unmix Multiple Voices
Select 00:00:20:200 to 00:00:21:400 , Register Voice, Preview, Select All, Apply

It process everything here with your instructions…
That being said, Unmix Multiple Voices requires registering multiple voice profiles, it does not make sense to use it with only one voice profile. Plus your recording contains a lot of noise, and Unmix Multiple Voices is not designed to extract voice from noise, it is designed to unmix multiples voices when multiple voices are speaking.

Maybe what you’re looking for is Unmix Noisy Speech instead ?

I’ve also tried two voices with the same result.

Ad Unmix Noisy Speech - I’ve also tried, and it works great but removes all voices and I want to keep official commentators’ voices.
