Stereo Out Master Channel no Signal

Hello Everyone.
My Stereo Out Master Channel doesn’t receive any audio since 4 days. I got a template with wich I worked for multiple years but since 4 days no sound will get out of Cubase.
All individual Channels go to Groups, these Groups to Stem Faders and these Stem Faders go to Stereo Out. All channels receive audio except the Stereo Out. I have no clue how to fix this bug. The Stereo Out channel is receiving audio from 63 Sources yet it’s channel peak meter stays low with no signal being received. Creating a new project without template, exact same setup and exact same control room and the stereo out will send out. Yet I have client mixes almost done and these projects there’s no sound whatsoever. All routing is good, all settings are good, CR is good etc.

Any help? Please :slight_smile:

Cheers

Here are two screenshots of the Kick Stem and Stereo Out Channels

(I can only upload 1 of 2 pictures… which makes it super inconvenient to show you all the issue. This is the stereo out channel that gets audio from the Stem VCA channels. The Stem Channels have audio and send it to stereo out, which stays silent like in this picture.)

Hey, do you have any plugins on the Stereo Out channel?

Yeah…the first thing to try would be removing those plugs you have there on stereo out…Bypassing isn’t always enough to let audio pass in a crashed plug.
Save the strip so you don’t lose settings. If that works then reload and remove them one at a time till you find the culprit.

Wouldn’t deactivating these plugs with Alt +Click do the same job? Or not: Although they’d be deactivated there would be still traces left like the last setting. I guess deleting would be the safe way, right?

Maybe, maybe not. Just seems easier to suggest the option that is most likely to work rather than suggesting to disable first and then to remove them after just in case.

Yes, I agree. In this case you want to be 100% sure that the plugin is gone and not blocking anything.

Hey, I asked because some plugins go to either Demo mode or they deactivate themselves, resulting into muting channels, including the main Stereo Out (if one has plugins on it).

It happened a few times, I check the plugins. If that’s the case, I reactivate said plugins.
