MY Cubase .cpr file has become a .csh file ?!

    I don't know what I've done. I was simply renaming the file and I've obviously saved it as this type of image file. I can't get it back to a .cpr file.

    There must be an easy fix - any ideas?

    Can you not just rename the file back to the proper extension?

    Thanks - no, meant to say that I tried that. It reverts OK but inexplicably, ends up approx. 10MB instead of the 150kb that it was. It's way too big and ends up crashing Cubase when I try to open it.

    That doesnt sound right. changing the file extensino should have no other affect on the file.. Have you tried loading in the file with the wrong extension. when you click open, you should be able to change the "File Of Type" to "Any Type *.*" and find the file from there.

    Thanks but this seems to be fixed now. I don't know what the hell happened. I tried opening the project once more and I when I did I noticed that all the screens for each track of the project were minimised at the bottom of the screen. I hadn't noticed this on previous occasions because the play/record etc toolbar was obscuring them. I restored one, closed it, and then they all disappeared and the project is now behaving normally. Strange. It's as if the project had separated or pulled itself apart. :confused:

    Maybe the music I'm creating is just too mindbending for Cubase to handle ;)

    Track still seems to be very big though and I don't know what that's all about.

    a csh file in an archive file and will store audio etc in the file as opposed to seperate files. Its perfectly normal.

    OK thanks - but just in case it's not clear: the original .cpr file was about 150kb. When this changed/was changed to a .csh file it beacame almost 10mb. Now, I have managed to revert it to a .cpr file, and more importantly a usable one, but it is still almost 10mb.

    Are you saying that this is normal?

    Do these archive files include a CPR file or is an archive that the separate cpr file communicates with?

    EDIT:

    From reading that then there is a CPR file bundled in with the archive that Cubase recognises.

    Thanks - so is there anything I can do?

    I went into the track again last night - did very little, just messed about with a midi bass line but again Cubase froze a couple of times, then, when I eventually saved and exited, the track is now 17mb!!

    I'm new to Cubase and only really getting to grips with the recording/editing etc at this stage. I haven't a clue about the properties of the files themselves and what can/should be done with them.

    How did you revert it? Its normal for a .csh file to be fairly big but a .cpr file should not.
