Where did the Meter go?

So I just updated to Cubase 15.0.6 (Pro) and now my right zone output meters are nowhere to be found. Just gone. I haven’t changed any settings anywhere other than the update itself, and now the meters are simply not visible. Googled for search options, but found nothing useful other than verify outputs and ASIO driver. Went into Preferences, no help there.
The large meters are just… GONE.

Any ideas?

If you right click the tab area of the right zone you can define which tabs should be displayed. Maybe Meter just got switched off for some reason.

When I right click, it shows that both Meter and CR are checked. I’m referring to the right zone in the Mix Console window, but the same thing is occurring in the right zone of the main Edit window. The Meter is just gone.

This disappearing meter has occurred across all my projects, and it started the first time I loaded Cubase after updating to 15.0.6
Also, it keeps telling me my Amplitube 5 plugin is unstable. And that also started as soon as I updated. Maybe I just need to revert back, but I don’t know how to do that without risking losing all my work.

Hi,

maybe your preferences have not been properly migrated from your previous version during the installation process.
Try this, please:

Close Cubase and rename the preference folder “Cubase 15_64” to “_Cubase 15_64”.
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 15_64 (Windows)

Relaunch Cubase and see if the meter reappears. If you kept your previous Cubase versions on your system all settings from the latest version (up to two versions down) will be migrated to the new preference folder.

Does this work?

In opening C:\Users\Username\…. there is no “Appdata” item or folder. This is all there is:

In fact, when I search file explorer, there is no Cubase 15_64 at all.

FWIW, I have a fairly recent PC running Windows 11Pro, 64Gb RAM, all the goodies.

Windows hides appdata by default, you need to show hidden items in explorer. (View menu)

So when you wrote: “updated to Cubase 15.0.6”, do you mean that you updated from C14 or even older version, or that you updated from an earlier Cubase 15 release (like 15.0.5)?

In the case of Amplitube, if Cubase says that it crashed in that plugin, it is usually correct and I would check if you have the latest Amplitube version installed.
