Glue tool has decided it’s a colorising tool. Weird!
I am using teh glue tool in lanes, it was working fine, but now it has decided to become a coloring tool (only) and apply the channel color, but not glue.
What the potato!!???
Solutions please?

Hi,
Does it happen in any project? If yes, try to Disable preferences in the Safe Start Mode window.
Hi,
you can easily reassign tools to different keys. They aren’t organised in a numerical order in the toolbar anyways, so…
Here are the defaults:
You can reassign them under Edit/Key Commands/Tools.
BTW: I have willfully assigned colouring a track/event to a numerical key command because this makes comping easier for me. But that’s just me.

Hi,
My understanding of the original post is that the Glue tool works as the Color tool (for unknown reason) to the user.

FYI dear people,
It’s working again now, after a simple restart. It has done this a few months back too. It’s not a show stopper. I am new back to Cubase after 10 years torpor - so impressed with it’s quality.
Yeah, Cubase has grown up over the years. It’s truly amazing what you can do with it these days compared to its early versions!
The glue tool becoming a colouring tool was probably a dedicated act of self preservation initiated by single audio events. Glad it works again

Yes, I’ve been here since Cubase Score, though I don’t use Cubase anywhere near enough. The last time I was deep was in Cubase 5!

Yeah, I remember well, both versions. And the massive red dongle which needed to be squeezed into the LPT1 printer port with two fiddly screws.
Cubase 5.0 was a true milestone for me back then, e.g. the introduction of variaudio which turned out to be a real gamechanger with regard to workflow.

Hi Reco - looking forward to Cubase AI. This could be Cubase 15, last 2 new issues were in November. In the Charlie Steinberg days, the designers had vision and class and they were not afraid to completely rethink. Cubase 5Now we are Yamaha (could be worse), but will the new Steinberg be able to make revolutions?
I say AI will take jobs, its the reality but……it can also make the creative process a rfeal game of excitment. It can, for example, vastly improve the old sample based orchestral sampling and give us real articulations and blending of notes like players do on various, mechanical monstrosities of pre Victorian Ilk (orchestras).
True creativity is PO (look up De Bono). This means you have to be able to look at a banana and realise it can be a ski slope for ants if they had holidays. I mean controlled absurdity is creativity. In other words we used tothing a word processer was about delivering ink to pages, then it became more. Now sequencers have to evolve.

Hi,
if AI makes life easier I am all in, like
I also share your opinion on creativity - nice use of imagery 
Yes, AI is coming to stay and there are also many positve aspects to it.
When it comes to handling copyright issues e.g. declaring automated production processes as a genuine act of music creation and thus eligible for copyright claims, or falining to protect or compensate for training material - that’s a different story. There’s much more at stake in the long run than meets the eye. Anyhow, this is not the place to go into that.
