What is $LL file?
The file with the extension $LL is the Archive Files file type. The author of this format is Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. In addition to this file, the Archive Files category includes 619 related files. Steinberg Cubase Compressed is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Cubase. This was created by Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH.
How to open $LL file?
The most common problem when using Steinberg Cubase Compressed is that a specific $LL is not associated with the program. This causes the file $LL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the $LL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Cubase
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Cubase is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Cubase into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file $LL with Cubase. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open $LL files.
Programs to open $LL file
Remember to download programs supporting $LL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cubase with $LL files
If, despite the installed application, the $LL file does not start in the Cubase application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cubase application as the default for handling the $LL file.
Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Cubase program with the Steinberg Cubase Compressed file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the $LL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the $LL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the $LL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover $LL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the $LL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair $LL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted $LL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move $LL to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the $LL file again. However, some background programs may block the $LL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
