Record enabled when opening MIDI editor

Cubase
1

Just recently I noticed this in Cubase 8.5. Every time I open a MIDI file to edit it, the record enable is activated. Changing the setting in “Solo Record In MIDI Editors” makes no difference. Cubase 9 does not do this, but it has an annoying feature that automatically record enables when a track is selected by the mouse, I looked for this quesion here but there was no answer.

Hi,

As you are missing several different terms, is really hard to guess and help.

Do you mean “open Editor”, “open MIDI File” or “select track”?

In Cubase 8.5, when I double-click a MIDI file in the Project Window to edit it in the Key Editor, the corresponding track is automatically record enabled. There does not seem to be a way to change this behavior. A good thing is that it turns off the record enabled button when the editor is closed. Is this normal for Cubase 8.5?

I also have Cubase 9. In the key editor there is a option to switch this on or off. I did find the way in C9 to switch off the automatic record enable when selecting a track.

Hi,

You probably mean the MIDI Part.

Disable the:

  • Auto Select Events under Cursor in the Preferences > Editing
  • Track Selection Follows Event Selection in the Preferences > Editing
  • Enable Record on Selected MIDI Track in the Preferences > Project & MixConsole.

Thank you, but those settings were already disabled. I even re-enabled them and disabled them again. No change.

Hi,

Could you try in the Cubase Safe Start Mode [Disable preferences], please?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that option is not available in Cubase 8.5.
