How to drag and drop a .wav sample file into Kontakt in the new Cubase 9 or 10 onwards?

These issues are occuring because Cubase hides the Kontakt and similar plugin windows when you lose focus to you Mac or Windows explorer folder to start dragging your wav sample file.

So the trick is to drag the file into your Program Icon in Windows Taskbar, drag it up so Cubase comes into focus, before the plugin also shows up, then dragging the wav sample file into the plugin window.

How to quickly move tracks UP or DOWN fast in Cubase instead of dragging?

This has always bugged me too, but you can make a work around:

  1. Select the track at the bottom
  2. scroll to top using scroll bar
  3. CTRL+ click the track at the top (now both tracks are selected).
    Execute: Channel & Track Visibility/Agents: Show only selected tracks (Inspector | Visibilty column, choose Visibility > Right click on the tracks > Show only selected tracks)
  4. Move bottom track above top track
  5. Execute: Channel & Track Visibility/Agents: Show all tracks

This seems complicated and long, but if you make shot cut keys for the Visibility agents, it’s pretty fast. Not ideal I agree.
