Cubase 14 tempo tracks not importing

Is the import Tempo Track feature broken, or is there some new trick to it? I cannot get it working. I’m exporting tempo tracks from midi projects (tempo and signature changes, depending on the songs), but these cannot be imported into a new project. Tempo stays put on 120 and no signature changes gets imported. Any suggestions?

EDIT (as per below response):

It seems indeed that I cannot import .smt files, nothing happens on import. Doesn’t matter if it’s a session with a lot of tracks, or a totally blank new session. Same result on trying to import tempo track.

Steps:
1 - open a new project or existing project
2 - file - import tempo track - choose .smt file - click to open
3 - nothing happens

Cubase Pro 14.0.5 Build 125 (Intel)
Apple MacBook Pro 2019, Intel i9, macOS Sonoma 14.7.1

So the workaround for now is that I open another project with the tempo track I want, then manually copy the time signature and tempo changes, and paste them into the project. Would love for .smt file import to work again.

(I’m coming from Cubase 12, the same Tempo Tracks can be imported into 12 where it adjusts tempo and signature changes accordingly, so it seems to be the import function in 14 that is not working)

Hi,

Isn’t it placed to a new Track Version?

There are no new track versions made when I try to import a tempo track. I can create a new version of the tempo track, but no matter if I make the import tempo track at the very start of session, or later, nothing happens on import.

If it matters, I’m on Mac, Sonoma 14.7.1.

Anyone else had any issues with tempo track?

Same here. Not importing any Tempo Information via standard midi or tempo track on mac.

Any reports on this on windows 10/11?

Hi,

I can confirm this. Reported to Steinberg. Thank you.
