Bug with new tracks auto-route to "folder groups" instead of stereo out

Cubase
1

im not sure if this is a bug or not

when i use the new folder audio group feature, any NEW tracks get automatically routed to one of the group tracks, instead if stereo out.

its very anoying, sometimes i notice it much later that the new created track is routed to one of these groups

shouldnt a new track always be routed to stereo-out?

is there a setting for this?

It just might be the case that you are accidentally making the new Audio Tracks within the Group Folder, hence the routing to the Group Folder and not Stereo Out.

When a new Group Folder track is made, it’s state is ‘open’ and ‘selected’, which means the next tracks that you make will be placed inside it. Please observe the Folder Open/Close status, it can be an easy miss especially if the folder is empty.

If you click on any other track or just close the Group folder, that’d mean the new tracks will not be placed inside of the Group Folder and it would be routed to Stereo Out. Please refer the video below.

Hope this helps.

hi thanks for your feedback

this functionality doesnt work for me, it hangs on the group i select

if i click somewhere else, it STILL routes to that group

it has to do with the fact im using folders in folder

when i add track all the way on the top of my project it works as expected

but when i add a track inside a folder group it hangs

will make video later

Automatic routing is a feature of the new folder groups. When a new track is created inside such a folder it will automatically get routed to the folder’s group.

If you create tracks outside of a folder group I think Cubase will use the last setting from the “Add Track” dialog. This will be remembered for each track type individually.

here you can see what i mean

when i add a track after i used the group, the routing is remembered, even if its outside the group

which is super not handy, i want it to go to the stereo out when OUT of the group!

half the time the new track im working on goes to the wrong output now, its very confusing
