Cubase 14 "Undo mixconsole step" slow, laggy behaviour

Hello!

Mixer undo registers actions very slowly (compared with Cubase 13) and I often end up undoing not the latest changes but earlier moves made in the mix console.
This is super annoying. Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior, or is it my system?

You can look at the mix console history to check the speed. Earlier it was instant, in Cubase 14 it’s around 1 second for each move you make.

Same here.
For a while I actually thought that history wasn’t recorded at all. But you’re right, it’s just really slow. C13 was immediate. A second doesn’t sound like much. But I just realized that it is. This really slows down the workflow (and is also quite confusing).

Yeah, it’s very confusing as sometimes it does not register anything and can remove old moves.
I even had to remove stock alt+z hotkey because I kept accidentally deleting whole plug-ins instead of one little change I just made in the eq.

Dear Steinberg, please look into this for the next update. Thanks!

So it’s not just me :slight_smile:
I’ve been deleting plugins (unintentionally) the whole afternoon with the alt+z buttons. Finally I had to take a break to find out if anyone else is experiencing the same… and here we are. Hopefully this a high priority fix and it will happen within the next day or two.

On my side I have zero mixer history. On any plugin, or regular Cubase manipulations. Anyone else getting this?

Yes, and I had to trash my preference folder in order to get it back.

Thanks a lot Johnny, for the reply!

Seems to work now, after a couple reboots. Weird. Maybe Windows Update had something to do with it, because I had tried rebooting before and it didn’t fix it. Oh well!

Advice for others: Deleting preference is a good trick. When I do, I usually backup the preferences first and then re-introduce them one by one, to make sure I don’t lose Keyboard shortcuts or other tedious things to redo.

Oh my gosh! What do you guys mean ‘delete preference folder’? Could you please be so kind to explain better and more about the steps?

I have tons of custom preferences and shortcuts, complex macros and things like that, it would be a month of work about that! :grin:

You confirm that after that the mixing history works as expected?? :thinking:

[forgot to mention that I am having same problems with the mixing history!]

We mean this folder here:

Don’t bother with it just yet. I did a completely clean install (fresh preferences), and the problem is here. So we’re waiting for a maintenance update, I guess.

But as a Cubase user, you need to know about preferences “thing” (unfortunately).

I had so many unexplainable problems over the years that now I just set up everything (except the custom plug-ins list) from scratch for every major release and update.
It takes some time but this approach fixed any weird problems and crashes for me almost completely.
Also, you can always save the old pref folder and put it back in if needed (of just some of the files/settings).

Version 14.0.10 - same problem. Some moves in the mixer don’t register at all (in the mixer history). Others do but with a big delay.

Steinberg please, we need to mix :frowning:

Please FIX THIS NOW !
