First of all, this is the second or third time this has happened to me. I’ve ignored it and just moved on the first few times, but it’s starting to get annoying.
I started working on a project yesterday, everything was working normal. I saved the project, disconnect my laptop (Mac OS X) from the Audio interface unit. The next morning I come back to work on it again, and, this happens: The Lexicon Alpha audio interface unit, under the device setup, appears as ‘inactive’, for both in and outputs.
So, I can’t play back anything or record anything new to this specific project.
As I said prior, this has occurred several times. It seems to happen to any randomly project file (unfortunately, it’s the ones I put the most work into).
When I activate a different project file, all the inputs and outputs switch to active, and everything works normally. It just seems that the audio interface unit won’t work with a specific, (but random) project file.
I’ve tried disconnecting the audio interface, rebooting the computer, etc, etc, but no matter what, it seems as if the audio interface unit is unable to be active for this specific project… Which doesn’t make any sense to me.
I’m somewhat new to Cubase, but there was nothing that stuck out to me that would seem to cause this.
Any ideas on why this would happen?
Also, the audio interface unit is working when this project is active; if I turn up the lines, I can see the ‘peak’ light up. In addition, when I open the sound settings under the system preferences, I can see the signal under input. So, it has to be something with Cubase, I just don’t know what.
Thanks for your help,
Ryan
