Pre-listen samples on Import Audio File not working

Cubase
#1

Hi to all!

When I use the function “Import Audio File” from the File menu, I can’t hear any sound. This is only since recently. I must have changed something, but I have no clue what I did to make this happen. I have auto-play ticked, the volume slider is up, and even when pressing play manually I don’t hear anything. The progress indicator next to the volume slider does show that the file is being played. Any suggestions?

Ok, I already solved it. It had to do with the Control Room settings in VST connections - Studio, I had the Control Room activated and no correct output assigned.

Exactly. All windows, like MediaBay, Audio File Import, or pre-listen of all offline audio process, are routed into this Monitor 1 busof the Control Room.

Hi,

  1. VST Connections > Studio: Enable Control Room
  2. VST Connections > Studio: Click to Add Bus, and select Monitor 1.
  3. VST Connections > Studio: Make sure, Monitor 1 is Stereo and click OK.
  4. VST Connections > Studio: Set your Main output (Line Out 1 and Line Out 2) in the most right column, as an Audio Port of the Monitor 1.
  5. VST Connections > Outputs: Set Stereo Out to Not Connected.

Done.
