Search/Finder Instead of ‘Play Selection Solo’

Cubase

Hoping someone has an idea on how to fix this on a Mac. The new ‘Audio Segment Detection’ and ‘Play Project Range’ features are massive game changers for me when it comes to editing vocals, specifically. My issue is that if I use the shortcuts for ‘Play Selection Solo’ (Option Command Space on a Mac), I get a Finder window with “Searching this Mac” in the header. Not sure why… Thoughts? Tips? Advice??

Although I am quite the opposite of a Mac expert I think I can help:

You can assign another modifier to the Audio Segment Detection here:
Edit/Preferences/Editing >Tool Modifiers
Select the Range Tool from Categories and locate Audio Segment Detection. Hold down the desired modifier keys, and click Assign.

Play Project Range:
Edit/Key Commands > search for Play Project Range and Play Selection Solo and apply the keys of your liking.
I changed the associated key commands as well btw. :wink:

Sorry, I don’t have the slightest clue how to supress the aforemetioned Mac functions. Anyways, hope that helps.

We just had someone else on Mac where a key command was executed by macOS instead of Cubase. Maybe it’s the same thing on your machine.

Johnny, I cannot express how helpful you are… to me to others. You’re truly a savior. Thank you (again) for your help :folded_hands:t3:

I could have searched for days and never found that setting

Thanks, but @jordikt found the cause. I just connected you to the answer.

Glad you found out what is going on and can work around it.

@Johnny_Moneto seriously, you’ve helped me figure out so many issues; outboard hardware and ADAT issues, TotalMix vs. Cubase questions, quirky [hidden] Cubase options, Mac related issues - I’m a Windows power user and Network Administrator by trade, but on a Mac I’m just a (happy and oblivious) user. I really appreciate your input. If you’re ever in the San Francisco Bay Area, I owe you a drink… lunch, coffee, whatever. Don’t hesitate to take me up on that.

And yes, special thanks to @jordikt as well

Just want to add that the feature ‘Play Selection Solo’ and ‘Play Project Range’ from this 14.0.20 update are HUGE for me. We have 5 vocalists and those features plus ‘Audio Segment Detection’ and ‘Tempo and Time Signature Events’ are so much more than I could have hoped for. Busted, Download Assistant aside, switching back to Cubase has been a straight up blessing for me. External Plugins :exploding_head:
