Hi all,
I'm on Cubase 8.5 and every tenth time or so, when I select a channel to edit notes etc the volume drops inside the vst/synth.
It's happening with my Virus, Falcon and so on...
Has anybody experienced this before as it's very annoying
Thank you
Cubase 8.5 - volume of vsts changing randomly

Check your automation lanes.

Was the first thing I looked up.
No automation on the channels =/

Actually {something like} this is going on with me (Nuendo 8.1 technically). Never had anything like it.
One instrument drops out drastically at a certain point. Only it's not at all random, it's always the same general area in the piece and chances are close to 100% it's going to do it unless I start playback late enough; so it's accumulative in some way.
I've had to render the part at this point. There is nothing turning anything down now. There were some automation changes in the general vicinity I wanted to suspect of causing something, but that doesn't really scan and now with nothing which should do anything dramatic it's the same. This part involves quite complex sound design but no change in its automation makes any difference here. I will say that the renders vary in result more than usual.
I also looked at latency (it's coming in from VE Pro and there are 4 instances with different added buffers) which did exactly nothing. I trashed and rebuilt preferences. Nothing happened. It's a mystery.

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this too, mate.
It is indeed a mystery; it started happening to me only in the last couple months without any additional updates. There is a workaround like you said but iit's no ideal

Are you using any hardware controller with a volume knob/fader? I've seen my share of unstable knobs/faders caused by dust (or just crappy controls on a cheap keyboard).
If there is MIDI activity when there shouldn't be any, try disconnecting any controllers.

FWIW, We have a client experiencing something similar with Kontakt and Cubase 9.5.

That was it. Thank you, mate. Strange as I didn't assign anything to the volume =/Reefius wrote: Fri Sep 28, 2018 11:02 am Are you using any hardware controller with a volume knob/fader? I've seen my share of unstable knobs/faders caused by dust (or just crappy controls on a cheap keyboard).

Jim Roseberry: Maybe this is the reason for your client aswell.
