Recovering Audio Recordings after System Failure
Cubase allows you to recover audio recordings after a system failure, because of a
power cut or other mishap, for example.
When you experience a computer crash during a recording, 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 that you recorded, from the
moment when you started recording to the time when your computer crashed.
NOTE
• This feature does not constitute an overall guarantee by Steinberg. While the
program itself was improved 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,
making it impossible to save or recover any of the data.
• 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.

Preparations
The preparations described in the following sections mainly focus on external MIDI
devices.
MIDI Instruments and Channels
Most MIDI synthesizers can play several sounds at the same time, each on a
different MIDI channel. This allows you to play back several sounds (bass, piano,
etc.) from the same instrument.
Some devices, such as General MIDI compatible sound modules, always receive on
all 16 MIDI channels. If you have such an instrument, there is no specific setting to
make in the instrument.
On other instruments, you must use the front panel controls to set up a number of
parts, timbres, or similar so that they all receive on one MIDI channel.
For more information, see the manual that came with your instrument.
