Recovery of audio recordings after
system failure
Normally, when a computer crashes, all changes made to
your current project since you last saved it will be lost. Usu-
ally, there is no quick and easy way to recover your work.
With Cubase, when your system crashes while you are re-
cording (because of a power cut or other mishap), you will
find that your recording is still available, from the moment
when you started recording to the time when your com-
puter crashed.
When you experience a computer crash during a record-
ing, simply relaunch the system and check the project
record folder (by default this is the Audio subfolder inside
the project folder). It should contain the audio file you
were recording at the time of the crash.
Use Time
Signature at
Project Time
When this is activated, the precount will be in the time
signature set in the Tempo track. Furthermore, any tempo
changes in the Tempo track during the precount will be
applied.
Use Signature… This lets you set a time signature for the precount. In this
mode, tempo changes in the Tempo track won’t affect
the precount.

Please note: This feature does not constitute an
“overall” guarantee by Steinberg. While the program
itself was improved in such a way that audio record-
ings can be recovered after a system failure, it is al-
ways possible that a computer crash, power cut, etc.
might have damaged another component of the
computer, making it impossible to save or recover
any of the data.
!
Warning: Please do not try to actively bring about
this kind of situation to test this feature. Although the
internal program processes have been improved to
cope with such situations, Steinberg cannot guaran-
tee that other parts of the computer are not damaged
as a consequence.
