Deleting of preferences is necessary in order to remove any corrupted configuration files, that may occur when information is not copied properly to new files during installation of an update.

You could copy the contents of the previous preference files but it is advisable to delete and let cubase fully rebuild, otherwise start cubase in safe mode.

How do I start Cubase in Safe Mode ? and what is Safe Mode ?

Thanks,

Wow. Artguy, you are hard to understand. No offense meant, but you do talk funny.

In case more clarity is need –The main thing is to make the prefs folder invisible to Cubase temporarily, to determine if they are causing the problem. Renaming the folder will do the trick, or safe mode works too, hold down ctrl-alt-shift while Cubase launches.

Also, There is a knowledgebase article that lists every Settings file and its contents.

This does sound more like a bad install or a bug though.

Safe mode:

Since I see myself as an “artiste” I like to try and speak as if my native language isn’t English, since I totally dig Euro/Englisch speak.

You are totally weird. I assume you will take that as a compliment.

[Muziksculp]

I tried launching Cubase in Safe Mode (while holding down Shift and Control keys).

But… Still no change… Problem still there.

[steve]

Shift-alt-ctrl. You get a window that gives some choices about safe mode.

I saw another post about this earlier. Could be a missing install file or some-such too.

ABBA were the best at creating songs for an English audience and I don’t believe any one has equaled this feat of modern contemporary music.

I believe is intellectual superiority such as what was displayed in their time is only possible with passion for language and communication, as well as of course music.

Hi SteveInChicago and artguy, I appreciate it that you are taking some time to try to help me resolve my issue.

Yes, I re-launched again, while holding Shift-Alt-Ctrl and did get the option window, I selected the ‘Disable Program Preferences’ option, checked again, but… unfortunately, the issues are still there. Nothing has changed

Thanks,

@Muziksculp

Nothing has changed

Past posts (moderator) indicate the only way to rectify such a situation is a re-installation of Cubase from scratch.

Hi Muziksculp,

Did you try deleting your preferences and are have a fully up-to-date eLc?

Hi artguy,

No, I have not tried deleting my preferences, and I think my eLc is fully up to date (but I can check again).

Q. Why would I have to delete my preferences, I have not had to do that for any Cubase 7 update since version 7.0.

Is this due to a buggy installer ? or … ? Also, deleting my Preferences would mean that I would have to re-build my VST connections, …etc. from scratch ? or should I just copy the deleted Preferences back into C7.0.6 ?

Anyways… This is quite frustrating enough, I would rather Steinberg fix this from their side via a new Update/Installer, or whatever will fix these issues. I see a lot of Cubase 7.0.6 user issues posted at the Issue Reports section of the forum, so I’m not alone in this, Steinberg needs to fix things. since they messed it up in the first place via this update.

Cheers,
Muziksculp

Hi there,

I have answered a similar issue earlier.
This issue is related to not updated skin.srf in your Cubase program folder maybe.
This could happen for example, if a System optimization tool or an internet security program disturbs the updating.
AVG is the most suspicious tool in this case since AVG integrated Tune up utilities in their shell.

• re-move Cubase 7 with the control panel
• re- install Cubase 7.0.5 and then Cubase 7.0.6
• reset your Cubase preferences
• now start Cubase 7

Best regards,

Marcus

Although somewhat improved, plugins still get hidden behind the mixer on multi-monitors. So it’s great that you can pull them up in one click (if you slow way down long enough to get a good center of insert hover, so it lets go of the previous slot), but if they just disappear behind the mixer, what good is that?

The is only one level of AOT, that effects plugin windows and the Mixer etc., equally. There is no AOT for the mixer alone that would allow plugin, channel settings, etc to be on top of what has already been set to AOT, e.g. the mixer is already set to be always on top and having a second monitor makes no difference.

As usual, you are wrong on the tech stuff. This works fine in 6.5 and about 30 other programs that I use that use plugin concepts.

Indeed, in 6.5 the plugins would not hide.

Hello Marcus,

I don’t have AVG installed on my system, or any other Security APP. enabled.

Also note, I had no issues updating Cubase 7.0 to all the following update versions that were released by Steinberg. All on the same system I’m having these issues on with this latest update. So, I doubt it is my system, but maybe it’s your installer that is causing this.

It is very annoying to have to un-install, install, and update. When your installer should have been able to correctly update Cubase 7.0.5 to 7.0.6, I have wasted so much time already. Sorry for complaining, but a fix from your side would be a better way to fix the issues many are experiencing here. and I see a lot of issues being reported regarding this update. Something must be very buggy in the update, or the installer itself.

Just my opinion on this.

Thanks,
Muziksculp

Hi there,

yes indeed our installer could be improved, but optimization tools are incalculable in their behavior.
These tools often prevent updates even from Windows or drivers as well.

What optimization tools are you referring to ? I don’t have any optimization tools installed.

I don’t have any issues installing apps on my system. With the exception of Cubase 7.0.6 !

[Marcus]

there is a wide area of these tools which makes it very difficult for any software developer to ship around.
In my Teamviewer sessions I have found several totally different tools.
Some have been pre- installed by the system builders already. I have noticed that these small little driver helpers as well were causing some issues.
So it could be helpful if you just send me your MSinfo32 for analysing.
Please PM me for further information.

Best regards,

Marcus

Update’s been great so far. Quite happy.

[musicbeat]

I’m having a great experience on 7.0.6, haven’t test all but it’s seems much faster and better audio processing, thanks!

So glad they have fixed the bypass and turn off clicking! It was a nightmare trying to find the correct pixel before but now it just works
