In several projects in 9 Pro now, after adding a few fx tracks that all end up to the right in the lower zone mixer (just before the master channel), suddenly any more fx tracks that I add end up at the far left of the lower zone mixer.
In the track view, these left aligned fx tracks occur last, so should pop up to the right in the mixer, I think.
No amount of syncing track view to mixer view moves these fx tracks. The only thing I can do to move them is to make them appear all the way to the right in the lower zone mixer. But I would like to have them displayed after the other fx tracks, just before the master channel.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in 9 Pro?
Thanks for helping me out here. Yes, I am on Pro 9.01 and Win 10 64 bit. I have uploaded screengrabs of the Track list and the Lower zone mixer for a project. Although the track Synth fx 2 was created last, it is numbered as track 1 and appears to the far left of the mixer.
This thing has happened in several projects now, always after I have been working on them for a while, saving several consecutive versions. The first track to be actually created is Drums OH.
I had a quick fiddle around and would say that there is a bug here… Here’s a repro and a couple of workarounds to fix the problem.
If a few people could confirm this then we can raise this to Steinberg!!
Open a new empty project
Divide the project horizontally by clicking the Divide Track List button
Place a Marker track in the top view
Create an empty audio track in the lower view, called e.g. Empty
Select the Marker track in the top view (so it’s highlighted)
Using any mixer, select the ‘Empty’ Audio track
Add an FX channel to the Audio Track - Right click in the mixer and select Add FX Channel To ‘Empty’…
The FX track is created but it is on the left hand side of the mixer - CONFIRM THIS ??
The track sticks to the left of the mixer because 1/2 of Cubase thinks that it is in the top divide but the other 1/2, e.g. the Project view, thinks it in the bottom divide.
Workaround #1 - Select a track in the bottom divide before adding the FX track via the mixer.
Workaround #2 - To unstick the track from the left in the mixer - Drag the FX channel in the Project Window out of the FX Channels folder and it will pop into the top divide, ignoring where you drop it. Then you can drag it back down to the lower divide again and it will then be in the expected place on the mixer.
