General

The General page contains general settings that affect the program user interface. Set these according to your preferred work methods.

Enable HiDPI (Windows only): Enables the appropriate resolution to render Cubase GUI elements sharp and precise on high resolution displays, and support scaling factors of 100 % and 200 %.

Note
On macOS, you can disable HiDPI support in the Cubase application folder by invoking Get Info and checking Open in Low Resolution.

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: 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 are created. When the maximum number of backup files is reached, the existing files is overwritten starting with the oldest file.

Maximum Undo Steps: Allows you to specify the number of undo steps.
Run Setup on Create New Project: Opens the Project Setup dialog every time you create a new project.
