Re-Routing Missing Ports
If you open a Cubase project that was created on a different system with other audio
hardware, Cubase tries to find matching audio inputs and outputs for the input/output
busses. If Cubase cannot resolve all audio/MIDI inputs and outputs that are used in the
project, the Missing Ports dialog opens.
This allows you to manually re-route any ports specified in the project to ports that are
available in your system.
NOTE
To improve the search for matching audio inputs and outputs for the input/output busses, you
should use descriptive, generic names for your input and output ports.

Saving Project Files
You can save the active project as a project file. To keep your projects as manageable as
possible, make sure that you save project files and all related files in the respective project
folders.
•
To save the project and specify a file name and location, open the File menu and select
Save As.
•
To save the project with its current name and location, open the File menu and select
Save.
About the Auto Save Option
Cubase can automatically save backup copies of all open project files with unsaved changes.
NOTE
Only the project files are backed up. If you want to include the files from the Pool and save
your project in a different location, you must use the Back up Project function.
Cubase can automatically save backup copies of all open projects with unsaved changes. To
set this up, open the Preferences dialog, select General, and activate the Auto Save option.
The backup copies are named “<project name>-xx.bak” where xx is an incremental number.
Unsaved projects are backed up in a similar way as “UntitledX-xx.bak”, with X being the
incremental number for unsaved projects. All backup files are saved in the project folder.
•
To specify the time intervals in which a backup copy is created, use the Auto Save
Interval setting.
•
To specify how many backup files are created with the Auto Save function, use the
Maximum Backup Files option. When the maximum number of backup files is reached,
the existing files are overwritten, starting with the oldest file.
