![]() ![]() BUT at the end its still the same way I work: Record and edit Audio- and Midi-Tracks, sometimes Group-Channels, some Sidechaining - thats it and all I need to produce and release my music beck then and today.įor nowadays modern libraries you/we may need a little more knowledge about expression-maps, etc. ![]() Today I use all kinds of VST-Synths, Sample-Libraries, FX-Plugins in the box plus hardware-synths and guitar-pedals. Synths and Effects were still done mostly by outboard-hardware because of the low-performance of pc´s back then Track- and Parameter-Automation (Panning, FX-Amount, Volume, Modulation, Pitch, etc.) came into the game (Read/Write) I record my vocals and edit them "in" Cubase with Insert- and Send-Effects Later when audio-recording, effect-plugins and VSTs were possible. I record my vocals in an asr-10 and later an emu e64 sampler and play them back also by midi from cubase I started with hardware-synths and din-midi to sequence these hardware-synths. ![]() I know people who've bought the Groove3 stuff and felt it was worth it-so, I'm not in any way trying to dissuade you from that kind of thing-just pointing out that there will be a lot they might show you that you would go "why would I want to do that?" and they don't have that answered directly.and if you looked at someone else's workflow the answer would be "I never DO."Ĭlick to expand.I use Cubase for almost 30 years now (Cubase 3.0 on Atari in 1993) and I am sure I only know and use about 10-20% of what Cubase is capable of. So, even THAT might not be as universal as I think it should be. I mean "new track.record." is pretty self explanatory, no? And beyond that and maybe a little bit about file exporting and signal routing there's nothing you universally NEED to learn-actually, I know many a songwriter who don't have 101 level knowledge of audio signal flow inside a DAW-somehow, they get by. My point in bringing this is up is to potentially let you start taking pen to paper (or typing) what it is you want to do that isn't self explanatory. There's nothing in the Cubase manual about the VIC obsession with templates of disabled instrument tracks. I remember running into a DAW at some point that literally could NOT do it without first recording the MIDI.anyway-this is how disparate things that feed OUT OF what one might call "workflow" can be. In fact, I don't think you'll even find that in the Cubase manual. Just as example, I can show you how to record the audio output of the virtual piano as you play it.as audio.no MIDI sequencing involved.and I'd venture that 95% of Cubase users here won't even comprehend WHY that would be done-and it's NOT straight forward to do it. Recording/mixing multitrack audio-less so, which is why ProTools is "the" language. The thing is-everyone works differently in terms of creating music. Good luck with things.I ask this.in the spirit of trying to get you closer to what you need: what MIDI sequencer or DAW have you been using? If none, or none 's less Cubase knowledge that you need, I think. Only now, after two years, am I starting to feel “at home” with the program.īe patient, use the forums, weed out the good videos from the bad. I had a pretty good deal of MIDI and audio experience and it has yet taken me many months to feel comfortable with Cubase. Also articles in Sound on Sound are usually very good. Posts on the forum often have very helpful links. It’s a good hang and the presenter, Greg Ondo, does a good job. It’s hit or miss because the questions and answers are more or less random. That’s where you really see the best uses of Cubase, imho.Ĭlub Cubase videos are good, but long and it can be a bit tedious to watch them, but there’s more in depth information there. Some of the artist videos are very good in terms of showing the product in use in high-end and project/home studio settings. The video will say, “Cubase Chord Pad Tutorial” and the video is, “these are chord pads,” then it’s plink, plink, plink,’ on the pads, and “thanks for watching.” Many of the Cubase videos are sales pitch videos and also don’t explain much about actually using anything. Many of them only show what Cubase can do, but often, the person doing the demo doesn’t know how to actually use the feature. I don’t know Darren Jones’ book, but I’ll have a look at it. That’s an great list of gear you’ve lived with. Greetings and welcome (back) to the forums. ![]()
