When I unfreeze tracks, they stop playing back entirely (i.e. there’s no more audio coming from them, and there’s no signal in the channel meters).
If I restart Cubase and reload the project, these tracks play back again as expected. Also, if I duplicate the dead track, the duplicated track will play back just fine.
This hasn’t happened before, so it must be either related to the latest Cubase 14.0.20 update, or to me adding an arranger track to the project (which correlated in time to when this problem started occurring).
Before I rabbithole on this trying to make a reproducible case, has anyone else encountered this, and possibly have a solution (or can confirm it’s been submitted to Steinberg as a bug)?
Hi,
I think I saw something similar here on the forum already (even with older Cubase versions).
Try to click on the Reset All Mutes button (even if it’s grey), please.
I tried that (clicking on the Deactivate All Mutes button), and that didn’t help.
Any other ideas?
This is a project that’s going to be receiving lots of edits (and has lots of tracks that have to be frozen for Cubase to be able to play it), so it’s going to be really tedious to have to duplicate each track if I want to make edits.
After unfreezing, try pressing the channels mute button (even if it’s not muted), please. If I remember correctly it’s some sort of display bug. Afterwards everything should work as expected if it’s the same bug. Does this help?
By now, I’ve unfrozen, duplicated, and refrozen all tracks in the project, and that made the bug go away (the duplicated, refrozen tracks are “healthy”, meaning I can unfreeze them without them going dead).
So, I’m afraid I can’t try our your suggestion, unless the problem shows up again, and in that case, I will try that.
Thanks both of you for jumping in!
