The first issue is with trying to Export in Cubase 13. It frequently crashes or hangs and then asks if you want to overwrite an existing file (which you haven’t yet created.) This happens particularly when trying to do something else on the computer, such as checking emails.
The second is the awful ‘Solo Defeat’ issues which others are having. It’s a HUGE waste of time dealing with this when you have work deadlines. I wish I could deactivate the Solo Defeat function in my tracks and just have regular Mute and Solo. It’s buggy and horrific to use.
Cubase is one of the most expensive DAWs out there and although, on paper at least, it’s a powerhouse, the customers really deserve a more stable/reliable system, with better, top tier customer support. There’s too much excellent competition out there at more affordable prices.

This is a known issue. Please, make sure, you don’t double-click the Export button.
What do you mean, please? Could you be more specific, or link the other issue (or just continue the discussion in the other thread), please? Make sure, you have Cubase 13.0.30 installed. There are fixes in this area.
I guess, this thread is a duplicate of this message, right?
I’ll certainly be careful not to double-click the Export button - I’m not aware that I do this, but I’ll be mindful of it.
Yes. I have the most recent Cubase update.
Re: the Solo Defeat issue: I often want to Solo specific stems or groups in preparation for export, or just so that I can work on a specific track or tracks. When I do this, the S turns to a square orange D, which I didn’t ask for. The master M and Solo buttons in the project window then have a faded colour and don’t respond. The Export refuses to function when this occurs. I then long-click on the square Ds and they disappear, only to immediately appear again on other tracks or the same ones. I would love to be able to completely deactivate this Solo Defeat option. It never cropped up in the project window on previous versions of Cubase and I’ve been using it for 20 years.
This post isn’t a duplicate, but is directly related to my response to someone else’s post.
I’m honestly not aware that I’m long-clicking -. I’m certainly not doing anything differently to how I’ve been doing it for 20 years. Was Solo Defeat actively working as a system in the track-list on previous versions or has something changed with Cubase 13?
And thanks for your fast and helpful replies - hugely appreciated.
Just upgraded to CB pro 13 over the past two weeks, definitely can confirm the same issue. Never had this is previous versions. Just a regular “click” as usual. Something has definitely changed. If it’s a new feature, i would love to disable it.
Still having a huge problem with exporting. It’s as if extra compression is being applied in an extremely exaggerated manner, causing the music to dip in volume very low. No compression is being applied on the master bus, but it sounds like sidechain compression is being used. It doesn’t sound like this during playback inside the Daw for me, just the bounce and it is extremely exaggerated. I troubleshooted everything, it’s a problem with the DAW. The worst kind of problem that you can possibly have. Just updated to 13.0.41. It did not solve the problem.
I use the export function in C13 every day. It’s the last thing I do on each session. It’s not super fast - but I have no problem with it and it sounds normal. I think many users would be experiencing this if it was an actual bug. It sounds to me like a plug-in issue - have you tried - 1.Take a mix snapshot (so you can get your inserts back) 2. Reset any master mix channels and export?
Well I’m sorry if you feel that way. I’m making a statement based on logic and offering a suggestion. It’s not possible for there to be a significant difference in the sound of a project being played back and a project rendered unless there are plug-ins or export settings involved - or your playback is compromised. There are some good YouTube videos on exporting and rendering which I found very helpful:
No need to apologize, this is a conversation worth having as long as its reasonable and respectful.
I a lot of insight about such matters. From my understanding it is very possible for this to happen and since I have complained about it, matters have gotten worse. I’m not sure what your understanding of the world is, but anyone should consider the possibilities associated with software/platforms at this point in time.
Let me just give you an example. Software/ Platforms such as facebook are not the same for every entity. For example, Facebook for the average user might be more standard. However, if you have a corporate account, tabs begin to unfold. New features are available. Its easy for the company to modify the use of the software. Paired with an extremely vague privacy policy, the possibilities are endless in ways that can influence you positively and negatively.
Did you ever find a solution? Mute and Solo buttons don’t work for me. Just started this behavior, also countoff stopped working. It plays one beat and stops. Can’t record with this.
Just saw this message, for some reason I thought I had replied before. Yes it is solved. Many users were having that issue. Cubase released an update a while back that resolved the Mute/Solo issue. I’m guessing maybe you’ve already decosvered that, but if not, update to the latest version, 13.0.41.
