Hi all, I have an issue with Cubase 15 that when I open a New Rack Instrument [VSTi] it does not switch to the newly created track so I can play it without doing anything else and can't seem to find a setting in Preferences but works OK for a Track Instrument. It's always done it how I like in previous versions and have even tried importing the Profile Manager from Cubase 14 which did not help. Does anyone have an idea where the setting is and what I'm missing? Thanks in advance

 

ok, so this is a change in function. Drag an instrument from the picker, not to the track list but only so far as the main arrangement, you will see a green line. instrument will be placed here and selected. Dragging all the way to track list now adds instrument but not selected, for the times when you might want to crate a new track and not lose focus.... Its actually faster this way but its a hard habit to get out of....

 

Thanks techdevil... I should of said when opening from the VSTi [tab]... I tried your way I think you meaning from the Media [tab] > VST Instruments (the ones with the VSTi picture/images) and dragging it onto a track halfway works how I like although it is a Track Instrument and not a Rack Instrument but will do for now so thank-you very much

Ah, your still using the rack, I guess its been affected by the change as well as the track lane. Its certainly causing much debate on the forum. On one hand its way faster, especially if your like me and have a ultrawide, but I've been using it for so long its really difficult to get out of the old habit of dragging it all the way... Anyway glad of some use.

 

I really should use Track Instruments anyway and not sure why I use Racks and been on Cubase since Atari ST days... Time to change and hope Steinberg fix the issues they released cos I just read about some C15 users having issues dragging from MediaBay. Thanks again for the tips

 

Hello! Sorry to ask here, but maybe someone can help.. I use R2R Cubase without any problems. We also installed C 12,13,14 on a friend's computer, but c15 doesn't seem to start.. (according to the task manager, it runs as a background process) Do you know a solution for this? (win11)

 

As long as your Computer matches requirements it should work or at least open with Windows 11 apart from the many issues they still need to fix. All I can suggest is what R2R have already said in their release which is:
Install latest Runtime(s): Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64)
Uninstall/Install latest Team R2R Network Block Runtime v2.3.0
Uninstall/Install latest Team R2R Steinberg Silk Emulator v1.5.0-R2R
Restart your Computer
