aaron__aardvark Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I am trying out Helix Native, trial version. Cubase AI8 (latest version), and Mac OSX 10.11.6 (El Capitan). I'm working on two songs: one song has one instance of Helix Native on one track, and I did not save the song (in Cubase) with the Helix gui open. That song re-opens just fine after I shutting down my iMac. The second song, from what I remember, had two guitar tracks, each with separate instances of Helix Native; and I believe I had both gui's open, because I was tweaking both separately for double-tracked guitar tracks. This song project will not re-open after several tries. I tried the bak file, and that did not work either. Have any solutions? I will probably buy Helix Native when it goes on sale again, but my trial period will probably end in less that 2 weeks. Several years ago, on a different forum, someone taught me how to open a song with a similar problem, and I forget how to do that in Cubase.......oh, I did find some old notes where re-naming the VST file to something else did the trick for Mac OSX 10.6.8, but my notes say it did not work in OSX 10.9.5. I have yet to try that trick with my current OSX 10.11.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Its been a long time since I used Cubase. But it could be a corrupt project file. Try these, perhaps: Temporarily rename your plug-in folders so no plug-ins load when you launch Cubase to see if a plug-in is the culprit. Then try to figure out which one. Try starting Cubase in Safe Start Mode, then try loading the file. Trash your Cubase preferences file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron__aardvark Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 soundog, Thank you for replying! I haven't had time to wrestle with the troubled song project yet, but I will do so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron__aardvark Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Well, I thought I would give it one more try (since computers can be quirky beasts), and try to open the song that wouldn't open........and this time it opened up after taking at least a minute of the computer thinking about it (seemingly)! Otherwise, I would have changed a file name, but who knows what kind of Helix patch tweaking I would have lost (I did not save it as a changed factory preset). This time I made sure I closed the Helix Native gui's before I closed the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
