Colorize Only Folder Track Controls
Activate this to restrict the effect of the Colorize Track Control function to folder
tracks only. This is useful in projects with a large number of tracks and folder tracks.
Default Track Name Width
Allows you to determine the default name width for all track types.
Auto Track Color Mode
This offers you several options for automatically assigning colors to tracks that are
added to the project:
● Use Default Track Color
New tracks get the default event color.
● Use Previous Track Color
New tracks get the same color as the track above them in the track list.
● Use Previous Track Color + 1
This is similar to the Use Previous Track Color option, except that the new
tracks get the next color in the color palette.
● Use Last Applied Color
New tracks get the color that you last applied to an event/part.
● Use Random Track Color
Inserted tracks get random track colors.
General
The General page contains general settings that affect the program user interface. Set these
according to your preferred work methods.
Language
Allows you to select which language is used in the program. After switching the
language, you must restart the program for the change to take effect.
Auto Save
If this option is activated, Cubase automatically saves backup copies of all open
projects with unsaved changes. These are named Name.bak, where name is the
name of the project, and are saved in the project folder. Backup copies of unsaved
projects are named #UntitledX.bak where X is an incremental number, to allow
multiple backup copies in the same project folder.
Auto Save Interval
Allows you to specify how often a backup copy is created.
Maximum Backup Files
Allows you to specify how many backup files will be created with the Auto Save
function. When the maximum number of backup files is reached, the existing files
will be overwritten (starting with the oldest file).
Show Tips
If this option is activated and you position the pointer over an icon or button in
Cubase, an explanatory tooltip is displayed after a second.
Use Edge Hints
If this option is activated, you can position the mouse pointer at one of the Project
window edges to show a pane with options to open or close the sections.
