Spectralayers 10 not showing up in Cubase 12 (Audio/Extension) - solution Windows

Hi,

So I installed Spectralayers from the Download Assistant and that installs Spectralayers to the default location being C:/Program Files… However I wanted to have it in D: so I installed it manually. Then the ARA plugin didn’t show up in Audio/Extensions. of Cubase

I copied the Spectralayers.vst3 file found in the ARA/VST3 folder where you have Spectralayers to the Common Files/VST3 folder where all VST3 plugins reside and then started Cubase and lo and behold the ARA extension was recognized and functions without problems.

Hint to the developers/packagers. Add the option where to install the VST3 during the setup procedure and locate the default VST3 folder by searching the registry key of Cubase for that path.

Cheers,

That’s where SpectraLayers installer automatically copies its VST3 plugin as well (%CommonProgramFiles%\VST3 which on most machine points to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3)
