Hello,
I looked throughout the internet for a solution for my problem but couldn’t find anything on it… so here goes nothing:
I’m running Cubase 6.02 64 bit on a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit system with a RME Fireface 400 (more details at the bottom of this post), for mixing/mastering I use mainly UAD-2 plugins through the Cubase bridge and some other plugins like the Tone Projects Beatpuncher and the DrMS through the J-Bridge (since the Cubase bridge won’t work on them), and for producing I use VST’s as Omnisphere, Trillian and Massive.
My problem: I start a multi-track, let’s say mixing a band (some guitars, drums, bass, vocals etc)… Everything goes fine, but when I open that same set a day later (or so) everything is there, I press play the marker goes through the song, but I don’t hear any audio… I don’t see audio coming in through my channels in Cubase or my RME interface either. When I load the same audio files from my hard-drive into the set, they play and audio is coming through. Sometimes when I open the same set, but let’s say a save from a couple of days earlier and open the set that wasn’t working before again, the audio miraculously plays again.
This doesn’t happen all the time, sometimes it just does… This morning I had 3 simple audio-tracks loaded with some UAD and again the same problem. I checked my audio-device, switched it with the generic one and back etc… but it doesn’t seem to help (and sometimes even results in crashing). Another note, I had this same problem when running Cubase on 32 bit (with the UAD plugins running ‘natively’).
Here some more specs on my PC:
Processor: Int Core i7-960 3200 1366
Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreme X58 WD
HDD: 2x 1,5TB WD1502FYPS (Raid 0 Config.)
RAM: Corsair Dominator 12GB DDR3-1600
Case: Cooler Master COSMOS Pure Black
Power-supply: Cooler Master 1000W Silent Pro Gold
Video: Sapphire 1GB HD5770
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64b
NOTE 1: I installed Cubase on my system-C Drive, I run my projects/audio-files etc from my D-drive.
NOTE 2: I haven’t done any tweaking to Windows, just turned down my Screensaver, Sounds, Hibernation, User Account Control… The very very basics.
I really really hope some of you can help me out, it’s getting frustrating to open a set I’m working and getting anxious everytime if the audio-files I see will play at all…
Thanks A LOT in advance!
Kindest regards,
Jørgen
