I have seen many discussions about this problem, yet Steinberg has let it remain for years. It is extremely frustrating and really needs attention. All my colleagues who use Cubase 14 on Mac OSX with large sessions encounter the same problem, so this is far from an isolated case.
I have tried every workaround I could find, but the problem always returns. My orchestral template contains more than 1500 tracks, all inactive by default. In a typical session I rarely have more than 200 active. Almost every time I perform a full zoom out, several track names become empty. I have tested every solution proposed in other threads without success. I even created a completely new project and imported tracks from my template, but the problem remained.
My current suspicion is that some tracks created with older versions of Cubase may carry remnants that are not fully compatible with the new version. When I create a brand new project and manually add more than 1000 tracks, the zoom out behaves correctly. The problem seems to appear only when working with sessions that originate from older Cubase versions.
I would be glad to help the team with debugging, and I know many other users would also appreciate a solution. This problem disrupts the workflow in a serious way. Upgrading to C15 is not an option for now, and I am quite sure the problem is still present there as well.
Sorry, i implied that this issue was probably still persistent. Since i’ve had this from C12 (maybe even before), and visibly no one have addressed the issue. So i assume it is still there. But i ain’t gonna pay 99€ to find out if it is still there or not.
PS: i see that C15 is tagged in the post, but that was an accident. I meant to tag C14 only.
I have just tried loading a template from C12 in C14, and i cannot reproduce this either. I do not have those insane track counts, though It might be some edge case, or maybe if the template was created in some specific version.
Have you tried rewriting the track names, e.g. with the logical editor and replacing a string in the track name, maybe even one that doesn’t exist in the original names, like replacing “…” again with “…”? I have not idea whether it would work, but it couldn’t hurt…
Here is a screen recording of what i do in order to get in this situation. And attached is my session (without the audio files, abort the search for them) for you to test. I’d be curious to see if you can reproduce it.
Thanks ! Ah yes, perhaps. I am on Mac. This may very well be an OSX issue. I think i recall people having the same issue on the forum where on Mac as well.
My 2 collegues are on Mac, and have this issue as well.
