Greetings! I’ve found a couple of older threads in the Cubase forums, but without solutions or any other information:
I rebuilt my Control Room connections with a brand new file just a couple of days ago, and have saved my current (and only) “main” preset of “UAD 7.1” - it works fine, but every time I open Nuendo, it creates another “Default” preset, and keeps creating a new one each time I launch:
You’ll note in that screenshot the current Bus configuration is Nuendo “default.”
Now, if I clear them all out except for my “UAD 7.1” and create an empty project, the empty project will show “No Preset” with the bus config matching that of my 7.1 config, but now there are 2 “Default” presets, one that pulls up my 7.1 config, and one that pulls up the actual default stereo/Monitor1 config.
Here’s were things get interesting. If I delete them all again other than my 7.1 preset, but then save my 7.1 preset again with the name “default” (note the lowercase “d”) I have this before exiting:
Looks good. Now I exit and go back in and create an empty project:
The “No Plugin” preset is selected, and it is the 7.1 bus config. But the two “Defaults” are back, and both with uppercase “D.” The first “Default” loads the 7.1 config, but the second “Default” loads the Stereo/Monitor1 config:
Now I open an existing project, select the UAD 7.1 Control Room preset, save it, close out, and relaunch N13, this time using Open Recent to load the one I just saved.
It opens to a new default “No Plugin” with the Stereo/Monitor 1 configuration, and now there are 3 “Defaults,” and only the middle one has the 7.1 config:
Looking at the other posts, it seems like they too use Apollo interfaces, though one dude has “APOLLO Dangerous Audio” so I’m not sure.
Comparing the original ControlRoomPresets.pxml with a copy, there doesn’t appear to be any obvious xml mangling created by the Apollo-specific data which may cause some parsing error (from my limited ability to determine) so I don’t know if that is relevant or not.
Does anyone have any insight into what’s causing this? It’s no biggie because I can just copy my current xml set to a backup and overwrite the concatenated version whenever I feel like it, but I’m curious if others have seen this and have ideas.
Cheers.
