Bill,
Once you've got all of your VST I/O set up for a project and you are using a
bunch of external gear. Close cubase, turn off your computer, then reboot
and launch Cubase and tell me if all of your patching has been saved or if
you've got to go back and repatch at least some of it.
this is a big problem if you're using lots of analog gear in a mix. I've to
26 analog I/O in my rig and 20+ analog outboard processors. this can be a
big issue if I've got a mix happening with lots of stuff patched in, then I
reopen the project and my patching is not working and I have to reinvent the
wheel.

I only have a couple things patched so far, and they always come back.

Well that's good Bill. I hope you don't encounter the sporadic problems that
I have here. It's not just me either. Others have reported this with Cubase
4. I do agree that (other than my few"issues") it's a dream program and is
one of the main reasons I decided tha it was time to learn a new DAW. Don't
count on a lot of support from the cubase.net forum. this place is more
useful than the Cubase user's group for Cubase problems because Neil and
John are here.

There's about 20 more here:
http://www.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=27
Don't get me wrong, it's a great program and I love it, but there are bugs
and instabilities that pros in the cubase forum mention regularly to such
severity that they can't move over to C4 yet.
