I have just started using Cubase AI 7 with my brand new and glorious MOXF8 and going through the routing tutorials, tried to record whilst playing a Performance.

I keep getting the error “Recording error: Disk write error” and no recording.

I’m running a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit and a reasonably fast hard disk drive. Anyone able to shed a light?

I can’t see any results when looking for this elsewhere…

Hi TopCatz999,

Welcome to Motifator.

Since you said you are new to Cubase, are you absolutely sure that Cubase is set to record audio to a path on the hard drive you are talking about and isn’t actually trying to record it to a slower external drive you may also have connected?

...and if it is the hard drive you are talking about, is Cubase trying to record audio to a location or folder on the drive that is read only or restricted in some way?

What happens if you change the project location?

If you run Cubase as admin, it might solve this and other issues you may run in to.
I have my shortcut set to always launch Cubase as admin but can’t remember what issues it was that I had.

Doh! - shows what a complete newbie I am. The default location was set to a redirected drive which wasn’t even connected.

Thanks for your help philwoodmusic - I can get on with my Motifator lessons in recording now.

Not a problem.
