How to open $RR file?

The main problem with Steinberg Cubase Compressed is that the $RR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open $RR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the $RR 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the Cubase program installed. 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 $RR with Cubase. Below is a list of programs that support the file $RR.

Programs to open $RR file

Remember to download programs supporting $RR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cubase with $RR files

If, despite the installed application, the $RR 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the $RR file with the Cubase program.

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 $RR file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The $RR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to $RR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our $RR file. However, remember that not every infected $RR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the $RR file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged $RR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file $RR except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move $RR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the $RR file again. However, some background programs may block the $RR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
