Anyone understand Cubase 5? I've lost my editing window! (Yup - it's ulrichburke AGAIN!!)

[Christopher John Ulrich Burke]

Dear Everyone. 

Having solved my percussion problem, I decided to write a piece using it. I'm doing a course on Cubase (just started) and so I decided to try writing a piece in the program. 

 

As you Cubasers know, when you've got a soundfile in Cubase you get a channel, with a little slider. You also get a little E in a circle which, when clicked, brings up a window with an  EQ in it and, to the left, all the inserts boxes. Or at least it used to. Mr. Dumbass here has managed to click on SOMETHING, I've no idea what or where, that means it doesn't show up any more. Which means I can't try out editing/mixing any more because using that window was all I'd been taught thus far.

 

Please, how do I get it to reappear again? I click the little circled E these days, it changes colour (which is correct) but the EQ and everything window no longer shows. I've minimised my main window and looked all around the Cubase blank, black screen but there's no other windows there.

 

What have I done to it? Where's it gone - and How do I get it back again? P:lease?

 

Yours hopefully

Not sure what's going on with your setup, but maybe try the following:

Click on the "e" so it's highlighted and "open".  Now, when you check the "Windows(1)" dropdown menu (between Devices and Help), do you see an entry in your windows list toward the bottom for "VST Audio Channel Settings"?

If so, try opening up the Windows(1)->Windows... menu, select the "VST Audio Channel Settings" entry and try clicking Restore, OK, or Activate to see if you can restore your window.

Dear Don.

 

The mixer window with sends etc. has reappeared - thanx! But there always used to be a green EQ window that remembered all the EQ settings you had applied. That hasn't returned, though everything else seems to have. I found something called Studio EQ in AUDIO, but that shows a flat green line even on things I KNOW I've EQ'd! Now they still SOUND EQ'D even though the Studio EQ line is flat.

 

So what controls turning off and on the ordinary EQ Window?

 

Yours puzzledy

There is a bypass button above the EQ which turns it off. I think it looks like this  -[]- but with a background that light up either yellow or green (I can't remember which). If you see that or one that looks like -<>- illuminated then click them to disable them. Without a screenshot, I can;t suggest anything else

Dear James.

Thanks - that's solved the problem nicely. All is back in place - PHEW!!

 

Now all I have to do is get the hang of writing decent music.......

 

Yours harmoniously (well, my dog sings along with it!)

 

Chris.
