Hello there,
since C14 project files are in 64 bit by default:
Will older projects be converted automatically in 64 bit when they are saved with C14?
Cheers
Hi,
Yes, they are converted automatically.

It’s not Cubase that’s decides the wordlength, it’s the OS. Both C13 and 14 requires win10 or 11 64bit OS (if we’re talking about Win) , so C13 projects are allready a 64bit file and opens as such in C14.
Or did I misunderstood what you’re aiming at?

I think you misunderstood, its the file type so Cubase files can get bigger than 2GB, its actually a new feature of Cubase14 and has not really anything to do with the host OS!
But thanks anyway for responding!
Oh…think I also got it wrong…so not 64bit audio precision…this is something else again?
Not talking about the audio precision either 
Its the filetype format, which, if I understood correctly, has an impact on the maximum file size only (and probably some other things)
Yes people with very large projects were bitten by this if the saved project gets larger then 2gb. After that it will not open and be ruined unless you had a backup from before going over 2gb. This fixes this. It is not fully clear if C14 will also save C13 files in the new format and if earlier cubase versions can open them after that.
Cubase 14 uses the DAWproject file format, which is a free and open exchange format designed to make it easier to share files between different digital audio workstations (DAWs). This format preserves the entire project structure, including clips, tracks, channels, groups, audio, notes, automation data, and even the state of third-party plug-ins1.
Additionally, Cubase 14 projects are saved in a 64-bit “RIF2” format by default. This format is compatible with Cubase and Nuendo versions 13.0.30 or newer2. If you save an older project in Cubase 14, it will be converted to this new format automatically.
Hi,
No, Cubase is still using its own *.cpr (Cubase Project) format. But if you want to, you can export DAWproject file.
Ok. My mistake, Martin!
