I have a strange thing with Cubase.  I created a simple project.  I dragged an MP3 into one track, then I set up a second audio track for recording.  I ended up recording three lanes.  They all have audio on them.  I can switch among the three takes with the S button on each lane and they sound as expected.  But no waveform appears visually anywhere on the track on on the three takes.  The waveform does appear on the MP3.  See the picture below:

Lots of people are having this problem.  Here is the official workaround:

Basically the issue only happens with 16-bit recording.  I normaly record 24 bit, but evidently I had some defaults set up for 16 bit. 

this has been resolved with the 9.5.1 update.

Thanks.  Evidently Cubase doen't have any automatic updater or notification.  If there was a notification of the update, I missed it.  All is well after the update.

I received a notification in the Cubase Hub on startup...

OK.  I guess I need to pay better attention.

It appears the preferences/set up folder  '%AppData%\Steinberg\Cubase 9.5_64\' can develop an anomaly.  Steve from the Steinberg/Cubase 9 forum had me delete this folder and let Cubase rebuild it on the next start.  This has fixed the problem at this point without having to delete everything and then start over.  sounds very similar to the one *.ini file in Sonar that can become corrupt.  Although I do forget it's official name.

Anyway now on to my question. Is there a setting to make playback stop at the end of the project? I've looked but can't find one. I asked over at the cubase forum but got no response yet. I've searched at the Cubase forum but only found threads that offered workarounds. Does such a function exist in Cubase?

Go to menu "TRANSPORT".
Under "PLAY PROJECT RANGE" you will find several options for start and stop of your project.
While one key command (alt /spacebar) is already available you can choose any short cut for the other options in the "KEY COMMANDS" window. Always the latest action is displayed there.
 
Cheers,
Frank

I appreciate the help Frank. Unfortunately, 'stop at end of project' isn't one of the options on the Play Project Range menu. Looks like there's some possibility for a workaround such as 'stop at next marker' once I figure out how to do that. I tried inserting a marker at the end of my current project but playback kept right on going so obviously I'm still doing something wrong.
 
One of the other Sonar features I will sorely miss is the ability to use CTRL-Spacebar to stop playback and remain at the current position when return to now on stop is set in preferences. Handy to have it return to now/start on stop most of the time and still be able to stop playback and keep focus right where you stopped on the fly when you want to quickly fix something.

There is a key shortcut for toggling return-on-stop.  I customized the value to be ctrl-backspace to make it easy to remember.  I use ctrl-backspace all the time.  Not as good as a stop-and-stay-put key command, though.  That would be a very nice addition to Cubase, I think.

Trashing preferences is a common solution. It's a good idea to save a copy of it while it's working great in case you need it in the future. 

The CMC series is discontinued, but still works great with 9.5. The CMC-QC is on clearance right now.

Yes.  I did save a copy just in case trashing it wasn't corrective.  A good trashing was what was called for, so then I saved the new preference file.
