Common Problems: Missing File Errors in Cubase
Common Cubase Problems: Missing File Errors
Missing file errors are a common problem. When you record audio or use loops in a Cubase project, audio files are created that need to be saved in particular folders. Cubase is notoriously bad at managing these files for itself and missing file errors are not unusual. In our experience, Cubase’s inbuilt search function to repair projects doesn’t work very well and we need to use other software or manual file searching within OSX or Windows to repair projects.
Once we have found your missing files and rebuilt your projects, we can help you back up your projects and teach you how Cubase’s file and folder structure works to avoid these problems happening in the future.
