General

Enables the appropriate resolution to render Cubase GUI elements sharp and precise on high resolution displays with supported scaling factors of 100 %, 125 %, 150 %, 175 %, and 200 %.

If you activate this option, Cubase gathers usage information and writes it in a log file that you can find in the following location:

• On Windows: “\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Steinberg\usagelogger”

  On macOS: “/Users/<user name>/Library/Logs/Steinberg/usagelogger”

Activating this option to write such a file, and then sending the file to the Steinberg support team can be useful if Cubase crashes, and the crash dump files do not reveal enough information.

By default, Enable Usage Logging is deactivated. We recommend that you deactivate it when you no longer need it.

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.

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.

Allows you to specify how often a backup copy is created.

Allows you to specify how many backup files are created. When the maximum number of backup files is reached, the existing files is overwritten starting with the oldest file.

Displays an explanatory tooltip when you position the mouse pointer over an icon or button in Cubase.

Allows you to specify the number of undo steps.

Opens the Project Setup dialog every time you create a new project.

Opens the Hub when you start Cubase or create a new project using the File menu.
