Hey everyone, I’ve been experiencing an issue with Nexus that I’m hoping someone else might be able to confirm or help troubleshoot. When I load certain presets, specifically the Sub Quest preset from the Feel Good House expansion, I notice that the sound seems slightly panned to the right. To get it centered, I find that I have to pan it to the left by about 1 point.

I’ve checked this using Mastering The Mix LEVELS L-R meter and Youlean Loudness Meter, and both show the same thing. This issue also occurs when loading a single OSC, regardless of the waveform. The sound always feels like it’s just a bit off-center to the right, and I need to adjust the pan to fix it.

It’s not too obvious to me since I have uneven hearing, but it could potentially cause problems in my production if it’s not a normal behavior. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could it be something with Nexus, or am I missing something in my setup?

I’m using the latest Nexus 5.1.9 release, but this issue has been present since Nexus 4.5. My DAW is FL Studio, and I’m running Windows 11 LTSC.

Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

 

It is either intentional by the sound designer or a bug by the sound designer.
It has nothing to do with Nexus. The Nexus parameters are all fine.

 

It's a sub bass and you are using it for house music? Stick a gain utility plugin after it and convert it to mono. Or put a mono-maker plugin, like Sonalksis Stereo Tools, etc. after it and set everything under 100 hz to mono. You'll do it when you are mixing anyway, so get it over with.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks

 

thank so much

 

Anyone have a fix for presets not showing up in the library. I have them in the right spot accordin to the instructions latest vr release on n5 win and just cant figure out why they arent showing up

 

Nexus 5(5.1.9) I can't get used to it because of the unusual interface
I mainly use the Nexus 4.5.17.
I'm still trying to make friends with the new extensions from the Nexus 5 (Melodic Techno 3,EDM 10,VintageSynths 3) with the Nexus 4.5.17 (which do not want to work, as they are eventually encrypted with a key)
Presets are visible in the interface, but require updating the plugin at startup.

We need a more competent specialist to somehow solve the issue of encoding presets.

The key encryption is located in the presets (sample add-on)
Example: Melodic Techno 3 Extension
Opening the preset AR Another Life.fxp

 

Hi, i have a problem with Nexus 5.1.9 , i can load a preset but sometimes i get no sound and when i click into the main Cubase window the Sound from Nexus can no longer be heared until i try another Preset, but then it happens again....I just can't use Nexus like this .

The problem exists in Cubase, but not in Studio one

 

Here are the key troubleshooting steps for resolving common Nexus and Cubase audio issues:

No Sound in Cubase with Nexus

1. Check Audio Driver Selection
   
   • Navigate to Studio > Studio Setup > VST Audio System and ensure an ASIO driver is selected (not "No Driver")14.
     
     
   • If using onboard sound, try both "Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver" and "Realtek ASIO".
     
2. Verify Audio Connections
   
   • Go to Studio > Audio Connections and ensure outputs are properly routed:
     
     • Under Outputs, expand the stereo bus and connect L/R channels to your interface/speakers.
       
       
     • If outputs show as "Not Connected," manually link them to your audio device ports.
       
3. Control Room Settings
   
   • If Control Room is active (Studio > Audio Connections > Control Room), ensure monitor outputs are connected here instead of the main outputs tab1.
     

Nexus-Specific Issues

• Preset Loading Problems: Single-clicking presets may not work; try double-clicking or using the arrow buttons.
  
  
• Intermittent Sound Cutoff: This may occur when clicking outside Nexus. Workarounds include:
  
  • Reloading presets when sound drops.
    
    
  • Testing Nexus in another DAW (e.g., Studio One) to isolate if the issue is Cubase-specific.
    

Additional Checks

• Sample Rate Matching: Ensure Cubase's sample rate matches your audio interface settings to prevent pitch/timing issues.
  
  
• Driver Background Behavior: Enable "Release driver when application is in background" (VST Audio System) if other apps lose sound while Cubase runs.
  For persistent issues, try reinstalling Nexus or contacting reFX support, as some problems may stem from plugin rather than DAW configuration.

Thank you, yes its seems Cubase specific , in Studio one Nexus is working flawless

 

In Maschine 3 Nexus 5 i working flawless too, i think for now i make this workaround ,use Nexus in Maschine vst inside Cubase...what a mess

 

No problem for me

Cubase v14.0.10

Generic Lower Latency ASIO Driver v1.0.30

 

That's so weird , I'm running Cubase v14.0.20 but with the asio driver from my SPL Crimson interface.

I've tried to load up Nexus in Maschine and there's no problem too....just in Cubase.
I have tried the vst 3 and vst 2 of nexus
