Default Spectralayers Not Working

Downloaded and installed Spectralayers Go today to check out its stem extraction capabilities for some post production. After multiple reboots and installations, it's just not working. After an inordinately long time, the short clip I'm using does show up in the Spectralayers tab, but nothing responds, either in the Spectralayers window or in the Pro Tools timeline. It doesn't crash PT and if I close the Spectralayers tab I can use other functions normally, but as long as that tab is open everything is hosed. What could I be doing wrong?

Update: It does work as a convoluted roundtrip AS plugin, but ARA is a no-go.

Please try installing Pro Tools 2024.10.2 and see if the same issue occurs. (no need to uninstall 2024.10.1) Let us know if the same issue occurs.
You can also try other optimization steps https://avidtech.my.salesforce-sites...oting/en367983

No change with 2024.10.2 installed. Report filed.

Also, while the AS version generally works, the external app is frequently crashing.

Did you activate and register Spectralayers? Standalone version doesn't work without activation.

Hi seanmccoy,

Which exact OS are you seeing this issue on? Which SpectraLayers Go version do you have installed?
If you encounter issues with a standalone SpectraLayers, please consider reaching out to Steinberg support.

Weird, I have used Spectralayers on several computers over the years and never had an issue with getting it going. The only issue is Steinberg's obtuse install and licensing scheme.

Is this on the W11 machine in your sig? I haven't tried it on Windows in a long time.

What comes to Steinberg's install and licensing scheme, I totally agree with you.

But it looks like he has a Mac - running Mojave? Could so old OS cause problems?

EDIT: It looks like he has both Windows and Mac.

Too small print in his signature to my old eyes:)

This is the included Spectralayers GO, which doesn't require separate activation.

Windows 11 latest, Spectralayers latest (Spectralayers GO). The main problem is with the integrated ARA version in Pro Tools.

Yes, on my W11 machine. Still no success after all updates and optimizations. Well, partial success in the standalone version, but not the ARA version.
