General
The General page contains general settings that affect the program user interface. Set these
according to your preferred work methods.
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
If this option is activated, Cubase 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 files will be created with the Auto Save
function. When the maximum number of backup files is reached, the existing files
will be overwritten (starting with the oldest file).
Show Tips
If this option is activated and you position the pointer over an icon or button in
Cubase, an explanatory tooltip is displayed after a second.
Use Edge Hints
If this option is activated, you can position the mouse pointer at one of the Project
window edges to show a pane with options to open or close the sections.
Maximum Undo Steps
Allows you to specify the number of undo levels.
Run Setup on Create New Project
If this option is activated, Cubase automatically displays the Project Setup dialog
every time you create a new project. This allows you to specify the basic project
configuration.
Use Hub
Activate this option to open the Hub when you start Cubase or create a new project
using the File menu.
