Audio VANISHES after 30 minute recording!!! Unusable! (UPDATE ITS IN THE TRASH)

Hi, this is not the first time this has happened but i’m fed up of it now as i cant rely on this great software. What happens is i record something and when i press stop (ie i press the red record button) all the audio that looked like it was recording dissapears. Its gone for good. I dont think it was ever recorded. Its not in teh project folder when investigated with itunes. The problem with this is its unpredictable and there i no indication anything is wrong until youpress stop. This has happened with some great sessions and its just embarasing for me and for the artist. This was a 30 minute freestyled jam that was played to perfection and the audio vanished. Does anyone have a permanant fix? My solution is to wire the ipad in to my appogee and mac as back up but then that defeats the whole point of recording on an ipad using cubasis. Im gutted as i love this app but im at the end. 5 or 6 recordings over say 9 months (mabey 200 rcordings). It sounds small but even one is too much. You cannot recreate somethings. Am i doing something wrong or do others experience this. Ive looked everywhere and i cant find the audio. what can i do as i really love this set up but the unreilaiabilty is making it too anxiuos. I dred pressing the stop button. thanks

It looks like that and then when I press either button the trasparant bars showing recoding vanish. How can i tell its not recoridng as it looks identical to successful record. You have to understand this renders this ap unusable. Its should always realtime save audio or what security do we have?

I currently have ios 12.1.1 but this has been happening since i got the app so ios 11 as well.

Does anyone have any input? thanks

Its in the trash

Hi joeriki,

Thanks for your message.

Cubasis projects are automatically saved at all times.
Additionally, the snapshot function allows to create a carbon copy of a project, which doesn’t get altered.

Did you see a message that the project could not be loaded, when launching Cubasis?

In addition, please check if your project can be found in these locations:

(1) Projects (Media/Projects)
This is the location where Cubasis projects are stored.

(2) Trash (Media/Trash)
If a Cubasis projects gets deleted, it will be moved to the Trash directory.

(3) Apple Files app
Apple’s Files app allows to browse the complete Cubasis app directory.
If (1) + (2) fails, please

  • launch the Files app
  • tap “On My iPad”
  • tap “Cubasis” and “Projects”

In “Projects” please check, if your project can be found in the list.
If the project can be found, please tap on it and let us know which files are included in the project folder.
In addition, please let us know if the backup folder holds files as well, and which are these.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Lars

Hi joeriki,

Sorry for the late reply.
Does this mean, the files are available in the trash folder?

Thanks,
Lars

Hi, I’ve got similar issues, I record, then close the app. When I reopen the app, some part of recording have been lost…remains just the tail of the loop…Idem when I use Undo button…So I just erase instead. I tried to save a copy systematically after recording by pressing the camera icon…the same issue audio had been lost…I check the trash…nothing…:.So finally after a recording session, I have to create a mixdown of the tracks…THAT’S REALLY ENOYING…!! I thought with the 2.8 update there will be some improvement concerning stability…!
I tried to contact admin, I don’t know why I can not send a private message, I made a 40 secondes video…that’s more explicit than words in not my language…Did Steinberg as plan to take actions regarding that issue…? ( I didn’t use plugins in that tracks, CPU is ok, I use an Ipad mini 4, and remains 20gb of storage space, I have restart my ipad before recording, my Ipad battery is full…)
