Via auto-save, or via the creation of .baks or ‘back ups’, a serious error is making the .cpr file size as large as 4gbs. Once a session is over 2gbs it will no longer open and is un-usable. This is nothing to do with the ‘content’ contained within a session, this has happened a few times to me and there is no consistency between how many tracks/audio/plugins are in a session to when this error happens. The dramatic increase in file size is some corruption not caused by the user.
I am using windows, and use the same template (over a 1000 tracks) for each project and usually the file size never exceeds 250mbs.
Would anyone know what is causing this? Can’t find help anywhere online.
Okay - it’s worth noting that it’s not to do with the amount of tracks, this happens when there is little or many local instaces of Kontakt. I have not had this problem with previous versions of Cubase. Also, the size increase will happen randomly, not after adding more instances of Kontakt for example.
I will look out for a solution as I have lost a great deal of work because of this.
Has there been any developments in this? Has the new Cubase 12 improved this at all?
We’re currently losing about 10% of our work because of this. Our short term work-around is to avoid having too many locally loaded instrument tracks/plugins (especially kontakt 6 and Sine Player) but this in incredibly limiting to our work flow.
