Opening Project Files
You can open several saved project les at the same time.
IMPORTANT
If you open a project saved with a different program version and it contains data for functions
that are not available in your version, this data may be lost when you save the project with your
version.
NOTE
If you open an external project, the last used view that was saved on your computer is used.
External projects are automatically connected to the input and output busses. If you open
a project created on a computer with an ASIO port
conguration that differs from the
conguration of your computer, this can result in unwanted audio connections. You can
deactivate the automatic connection of input and output busses in the
Preferences dialog
(VST page).
PROCEDURE
1. Select File> Open.
2. In the le dialog that opens, select the project that you want to open and click Open.
3. If there is already an open project, you are asked if you want to activate the new project. Do
one of the following:
To activate the project, click Activate.
To open the project without activating it, click No.
This reduces load times for projects.

Activating Projects
In Cubase you have several projects opened at the same time. However, only one project can be
active. The active project is indicated by the lit Activate Project button in the upper left corner of
the Project window. To work on another project, activate the other project.
PROCEDURE
To activate a project, click Activate Project .
NOTE
If you close the active project, you must activate another open project manually, as Cubase
cannot automatically activate one of the other open projects.
