Ok, so I pull up Cubase today and pull up a project I haven’t worked in about a week and I realize that almost nothing is responding when I click on it in the portion of the screen I’ve highlighted below with an orange box and a question mark:
I say almost nothing is responding because every now and then, like if I reload the project or load a different project(this is happening in all my projects) the first time I click on something in that area it might give a flicker of response. For instance you’ll notice the FX 1-REV send level in the screenshot is at -infinity, this is because I clicked on that level immediately after reloading the project and it did respond just long enough to change it from the value it was set at previously, but that was all I could get it to do, it would not respond after that. It’s almost responding like a flashlight with dead batteries where if you shake it for a minute or let it sit then hit the switch you might get a flicker of light then it’s dead again.
Or sometimes I can hover over something like the Equalizer Curve preset management icon and it will respond but usually not. Trying to click on something like the Inserts or any other header to expand or contract it absolutely will not respond. One thing that does seem to respond is the bypass button for each header but that is the only thing that responds consistently. Like I said, weird and really dumb and I just can’t figure it out. Anyone got an idea?
Update 6/29/12:
System specs:
Windows 7 Professsional 64-bit
Cubase 6.5.0 build 102 64-bit
Interface: Edirol FA-101 FireWire
using only Cubase plugins
once the issue starts(which is unpredictable) it persists through Cubase restarts and across all projects. A Windows restart resolved the issue in my case as it did in these case:
