Spectralayers - Cubase 14 wind11: ARA is not visible into DAW - Solution

SpectraLayers

I find a solution in order the cubase to recognize the spectralayers as an ARA after the update to newest version of spectra.

  1. go to the C:\Program Files\Steinberg\SpectraLayers 12\ARA-win\VST3 and there you will find the folder spectralayers.vst3 (folder no dll!) rename it Spectralayers (that means you delete the text .vst3)
  2. go to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and find the folder spectralayers.vst3 (folder no DLL!) - do the same.
  3. Run Cubase - it will pop up an error about spectralayers. Continue, now you can see the ARA extension if you click in any Audio.
  4. close the cubase, unistall the spectralayers 12.
  5. Manually delete the folders of spectralayers in both locations program files/steinberg/ and common files/vst3
  6. Install Spectralayers 12 from the Steinberg download assistant
  7. You are good to go.
