‘Could not create record file’ ![image|690x431](upload://87wkmlYihiYkvBKgvs0RGDPMXHr.png This is a new one. Nothing appears to be wrong with the hardware as far as I can see so not sure why interface isn’t being recognised. I’ve been using software for a while now. I haven’t changed anything about my setup. Any ideas? Thank you! ---

Probably due to folder access rights, as it seems that you have enough space left on your disks. Check, as administrator, that the folders used for your project have both read and write access rights (with Windows Explorer). ---

Hi, In the Windows Explorer right click the folder, where do you want to save your project and make sure, it has write permissions. Also make sure all parents o folders have write permissions. ---

Thanks Martin I clicked on properties and it appears ‘write’ is already allowed. All folders within the ‘Cubase’ folder also have write permitted. So it must be something else. I do find it curious that this is suddenly an issue. Jack ---

Hi, Could you double-check the same for the “Jack Rumsey” user and the Administrators user, please? Also double-check all parent folders, please. ---

I’m able to still arm and record tracks in pre-existing files however it still claims that there’s no space on the disk when I try to record a new track. Is it is possible to speak to someone over the phone about this? Perhaps some remote support? ---

Hi All. I had the same problem in CUBASE 12, and I fixed hour ago. Open the project with this problem. and open “Record Format” you need to put the same options that this project was recording and pumm YOU CAN RECORD NOW! I don’t know why doest match but this is the problem. Enjoy recording on CUBASE. Jesus BlessYou, Fer. [Next page](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/could-not-create-record-file/748225.md?page=2)
