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.
!
This feature does not constitute an “overall” guaran-
tee by Steinberg. While the program itself was im-
proved in such a way that audio recordings can be
recovered after a system failure, it is always possible
that a computer crash, power cut, etc. might have
damaged another component of the computer, mak-
ing it impossible to save or recover any of the data.
!
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 guarantee
that other parts of the computer are not damaged as
a consequence.
