General
The General page contains general settings that affect the program user interface. Set these
according to your preferred work methods.
Enable HiDPI (Windows only)
Enables the appropriate resolution to render Cubase user interface sharp and precise
on high resolution displays with supported scaling factors of 100 %, 125 %, 150 %,
175 %, and 200 %.
NOTE
Other scaling factors, such as 133 %, are not supported.
The Application Scaling menu allows you to scale the Cubase user interface relatively
to the Windows system scaling setting.
NOTE
On macOS, you can disable HiDPI support in the Cubase application folder by invoking
Get Info and checking Open in Low Resolution.
Usage Logger Options
If you activate this option, Cubase gathers usage information and writes it in a log le
that you can nd in the following location:
● On Windows: \Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Steinberg\usagelogger
On macOS: /Users/<user name>/Library/Logs/Steinberg/usagelogger
Activating this option to write such a le, and then sending the le to the Steinberg
support team can be useful if
Cubase crashes, and the crash dump les do not reveal
enough information.
By default, Enable Usage Logging is deactivated. We recommend that you deactivate
it when you no longer need it.
Language
Allows you to select which language is used in the program. After switching the
language, you must restart the program for the change to take effect.
Auto Save
Automatically saves backup copies of all open projects with unsaved changes. These
are named
Name.bak, where name is the name of the project, and are saved in the
project folder. Backup copies of unsaved projects are named #UntitledX.bak, where
X is an incremental number, to allow multiple backup copies in the same project folder.
Auto Save Interval
Allows you to specify how often a backup copy is created.
Maximum Backup Files
Allows you to specify how many backup les are created. When the maximum number
of backup les is reached, the existing les is overwritten starting with the oldest le.
Show Tips
Displays an explanatory tooltip when you position the mouse pointer over an icon or
button in Cubase.
Maximum Undo Steps
Allows you to specify the number of undo steps.
