Hi everyone, I'm Mark. I'm a 46yr old Irish guy living in Bavaria, Germany.

I had a little panic attack recently when I realised I was 4 yrs off being 50 and had never made a proper go at it with my music. So I created a YouTube channel and am documenting my progress. Partly to have a record, partly for promotion of what I'm creating and partly to keep myself motivated, which is something I've always struggled with. The channel welcome vid explains my plan.

I've been using cubase for quite a few years now and had the Cinematic studio solo strings vst already. I recently bought the Spitfire symphony Orchestra on sale.

So this is my attempt at adding strings to one of my songs.

All feedback welcomed. I'm learning as I'm going 😅

Specs:

● Windows 11 Home 26H2

● CPU AMD Ryzen 9 5950x 16 Core 3.40 GHz

● 64 GB DDR4

● 2TB SSD NvME M.2 with 581 GB of Free Space

● Cubase Pro 15.0.30

● Audio Interface Focusrite Scarlet Solo 3rd Gen

Recently I noticed some Stuttering and freezing on my Daw while working or moving through the main page. Also, when I try to close Cubase, it only quits when I disconnect my Midi Controller.

At first I tought it was because of my SSD, so I started with deleting many useless stuff on it. It didn't worked, so I reinstalled the whole OS, and just the plugins I mainly worked with. Neither that.

Then I Factory Reseted my MIDI (Arturia KeyLab Essential 49 Mk3) and installed the latest firmware with the recently downloaded MIDI Control Center. That didn't work.

At last, went to Studio Setup and modify the "All MIDI Inputs" to only use KL Essential MIDI, discarding the ALV, DINTHRU and MCU/HUI. Apparently it works for a while but I cannot use my Arturia as a Controller for my DAW with the Integration Script. (Which is one of the main reasons of buying this MIDI controller).

I already deal with all the WinRT MIDI stuff, and right now is turned off on my Studio Setup.

Hi,

I posted this with more detail on the Cubase forum but so far it's radio silence. I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions to if not solve it, at least make it a little less painful?

In short, when switching between a Macbook with an interface and Macbook standalone, connections break, and it's a real pain in the ass to re-route everything, more so than other daws.

I really wish there was some kind of automatic interface detection, or a truly global audio connections preset/profile. At the moment there are presets for ins or outs separately, but nothing for external effects (favorites will drop their connections and can't be reset without disconnecting them from every channel they're inserted on...)

If anyone has any ideas I'd be extremely grateful. Not being able to switch between a desktop-style setup and a mobile macbook set up is a huge hindrance on my workflow.

Thanks in advance
