Aloha A.
A couple of ‘shots in da dark’ here.
One approach would be to move your ‘Preference’ folder
(to somewhere like the desktop) and then re-start
Cubase and then try quitting.
If the prob goes away you now know there is something
in that folder causing the issue.
Re: Novation Automap
Not specifically that product but I have heard that this shut down issue
can also be cause by some 3rd party apps/plugs/interfaces etc
still ‘holding on’ at time of quit.
Also,
Is all your stuff (hard and software) running at 32 bit or 64 bit?
Or are you using a combination of both?
And the big one for me is:
This never happened when i was in Cubase 6.5.0
Perhaps some corruption ‘sneaked in’ during download or installation.
Might help to re-download and re-install the .5 update.
This is a link on a similar topic. Might be helpful to you.
