The DRM file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DRM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DRM file on each system platform.
What is DRM file?
The file with the extension DRM is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Steinberg. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. Cubase Drum Map Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The Cubase application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open DRM file?
The main problem with Cubase Drum Map Format is that the DRM file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DRM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DRM 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Cubase application 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 DRM with Cubase. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DRM files.
Programs to open DRM file
Remember to download programs supporting DRM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cubase with DRM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DRM file to open in the Cubase application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DRM file with the Cubase application.
Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Cubase program with the Cubase Drum Map Format 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 DRM 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 DRM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DRM file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DRM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DRM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DRM files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DRM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Steinberg
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DRM 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DRM 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 you have to wait for the session to the file DRM to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
