I just installed Cubase 14 and found out, that the Supervision plugin is not available. THere is an arrow on the side of the Analyzer menu entry but it does not open.
In the plugin manager supervision is listed.
How can I make this work?

From the looks of it, it seems that you have right clicked on an audio event. The plugin list there is only for Direct Offline Processing on audio data. As Supervision is just an analyzer plugin and does not process sound, it does not make sense to have it in that list, which is why Steinberg probably left it out. It is still available in the Mix console as an insert plugin.
Thanks for the quick reply, fese. The grafic I delivered shows the main menu after I selected an audio track (no right click). As you can see, the Analyzer entry is present, but nothing behind it. In Cubase 11 and 12 one could find the supervision plugin right here.
You are right, supervision is available in the insert of each audio channel, so it works for me, if I use it with the stereo main out.
But it’s a little bit irritating, if one upgrades to a higher version and can’t find often used plugins at the expected place.
Hi,
the available options here are related to an audio event that you have selected in the project window. Supervision on the other side aims at analyzing signals on the track level. That is why you won’t find it here. I doubt that this was any different in prior versions but I’m not in the studio right now to check.
It makes no difference if I select an audio track or audio event - there ist simply no entry in the Analyzer menu. In Cubase 11 & 12 there was always a supervision entry under Analyzer, even sometimes grayed out. Maybe it’s a bug?
No, it is not a bug. It is exactly as it is supposed to be.
The audio menu in your screenshot refers to potential operations that are related to audio events - no matter if you have selected a track or an event in the project window.
Supervision on the other side is supposed to reside as an insert that monitors the signal path of a track and not just a single audio event.
If I am not mistaken this has not changed since the introduction of Supervision.
Maybe I am wrong - in that case I stand corrected. Anyone…?
As I said, the SuperVision submenu of the Analyzer menu under the Plugins menu under the Audio main menu was always there from Cubase 11 onwards, even if it was greyed out depending on the context. Do you have Cubase 11? Then you can check it yourself. It might actually make sense to remove this plugin from the main menu, but then it would be good practice to display a submenu under the Analyzer menu that shows, for example, [empty]. Without that, a user might think that something there is no longer working.
Why won’t you just drag it to a free insert slot from the browser on the left?
Okay, I think we were talking about two different aspects of the matter:
You were pointing out that you would still like to have some sort of absence note as the supervision plugin is no longer greyed out/listed in Cubase 14 when you are analyzing an audio event.
I was trying to explain why it is not listed/greyed out in this context in Cubase 14 and that it would not make sense to me since its sole purpose is to monitor the signal path of a track and not to analyse events. In other words: not a bug for my understanding.
Now, you clearly stated that it was greyed out in C11 under the audio menu (I cannot verify as I don´t run C11 on any system, I thought I did). And that´s that. I thought you confused it with the track insert menu since you were suspecting a bug of some sort.
To cut a long story short: You would like Supervision to be kept listed/greyed out in that menu and that is totally fine. I prefer it like it is now in C14 - but that is just my very own personal taste.
