Hello,
As the title is saying, the retrospective function is no longer working in Cubase 15, only an empty MIDI box is inserted. Does anyone have more info on the issue and why it’s happening?
edit: operating system: Windows 11
Hi and welcome to the forum!
It works as expected here (Cubase 15.0.20, Win 10).
What kind of VST-instrument do you use?
Can you try another instrument (just a couple of notes will do)?
Also, can you check the buffersize, please?

Figured it out; it resets when I press stop. I have to insert it while it is still playing.
Thank you for the suggestion tips; due to those, I realised the stop issue. I am not sure if it was always like this or if it’s a new thing, although I remember that I was able to insert even after stopping.
Ok, I was too quick to celebrate; it seems random. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
update: it works the first time when you play it, after you delete it and play again it no longer inserts it, if I move the cursor further it works.
edit 2: buffer does not seem to affect this in any way increasing/decreasing it and the issue still happens
edit 3: I am using a rme world clock, a raydat and an apogee symphony i/o as a standalone
edit 4: I just checked it in Cubase 14, and the issue appears to be the same, so it has to do with my setup change. I did not use a world clock back then; maybe retrospective is not optimised for more complex midi setups
p.s. a bit offtopic cubase 14 is so well optimised; everything is instant, cubase 15 seems to lag compared to it
Hi,
pressing stop does not affect retrospective recording. Something’s wrong… Retrospective Recording is a pretty simple and straight-forward feature. It should work without any kind of shenanigans like the order of play/stop/pause and whatnot.
Maybe your MIDI controller is sending all sorts of data which might have an effect on your buffer (overwritten as soon as it has reached its limit). Can you insert a MIDI Monitor plugin to check?
Anything unusual?
Also, I would try to rule out faulty preferences. Launch Cubase and hold Ctrl + Shift + Alt, please. Now, pick starting Cubase with preferences disabled. This time, Cubase will start with its factory preferences. Does this change anything?
Well, it does not change anything in terms of retrospective, but what it did change is that Cubase is moving so, so well now; everything is instant, and I kind of forgot about my retrospective issue since this is even more important. I am troubleshooting with GPT what setting might do this from safe mode, but no luck in finding it. Even my ASIO guard latency has dropped massively from 94 ms to 30 ms
p.s. I tried the ASIO guard settings and the 32-bit and 64-bit engines, and it made no difference. I am very puzzled now
I I am flooded with this cc0. It’s the rme controller arc usb, yea the issue is fixed now that I disconnected the arc.
Thanks now I know the culprit for retrospective now I need to find the culprit for my latency.
edit: I filtered the arc from cubase midi manager after reading this thread RME ARC USB constantly sends out cc 0 data on midi channel 1 (Page 1) — TotalMix FX — RME User Forum
which basically says this is normal behaviour from arc and that it needs to be filtered from daw. So retrospective is back now
