Greetings,

I've just started using Cubase SX3 for the first time this week, and I have a situation where I imported some wav files in a new project, tweaked around with the song a bit, saved it and closed it....That's the good news.

I then imported more wav files for a 2nd song to try to tweak with that one. When I go to play the song on the new project, it plays the wav files for the 1st song as well as the 2nd song. So basically, I have 2 different set of wav files playing at the same time for one big ball of confusion to my ears.

I read through the manual specifically looking for anything on duplicate files, but all I get is a bunch of info about "duplicating tracks". I close Cubase without saving the project, open up Cubase again, start a new project, and the same thing happens again.

When I go to the mixer screen, the tracks are labeled correctly for the song that I want to tweak with, but the audio coming from those tracks aren't the same.

For instance, I might solo the bass track for the 2nd song, but in actuality, it's a totally different track altogether...it might not even be a bass track.
It's almost as if if the tracks are overlapped on top of the previous tracks. When I check the manual for overlapping, the manual speaks of some other type of overlapping.

When I solo the tracks, it's still the wrong track that I'm soloing. I might mute the track that's labeled as guitar for the 2nd song, but the audio is really from the previous song. I can start all over from scratch again, and it works for the 1st song, it'll play all the correct wav files. When I save the 1st song, open a new project, and import audio for the 2nd song, 3rd, 4th, etc, it'll play all the wav files for all songs ever imported in Cubase.

I just ordered the 3 levels of the ASKVIDEO DVD Training Tutorials for SX3, and I should have it by next week sometime. Can someone please help me to get past this situation with more than one song loading up even though I only import wav files for one?

To top it off, I try the same thing in Nuendo 3, and the same thing happens. All I get is 2 or more songs playing at once.

I'm really bummed about this one. :confused:

Thank you all for your forthcoming responses.
 
I've heard of this before. try moving the dongle to another usb port. Sometimes it doesn't behave properly if it is sharing a usb hub (internal) with something else.
 
Thanks Chili, but that's not it. I swear it's weirdest thing. I have no problems loading the wav files in a new project, but then it's a big mess.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh:mad:
