Cubase 5 vs cubase 13

This is reason why for pro users stock plug’ins are even too much.

"If a traditional dbx 160 is like a powerful and well-tuned muscle car, Elevate is like a futuristic, high-tech supercar with independent suspension, advanced traction control, and a computer that constantly optimizes performance based on road conditions."

Cubase is a rich man’s daw when it goes out of date well that another £400

you have the pcm 41 in hardware yes, but the 42 sounds way better, that's why you dig the plugin so much.

I've messed with amp sims for awhile, so will try Blue Flame. I've been using Tonex (plug-in) which uses AI neural modeling, and it does a great job on the uppers. A key component for Tonex is adding a properly mic'ed amp model/capture from Amalgam Audio.

The zen of mixing. You say you aren't a Buddhist, but a bit of you is! Fascinating stuff, thank you.

What's amazing is that this holy grail of bullshit is still on sale. Unbelievable.

Graceful

Where can I find the song?

I'm listening on my laptop so not great conditions, but I could definitely hear the difference on the second example (the first was a bit too subtle for my ears, or perhaps it was the response of the speakers). I'm naturally very sceptical of this sort of technology but I have to admit it seems to do something good, at least sometimes! As an amateur photographer I can't help but notice a certain similarity to the idea of "vibrance" - a photo editing parameter that doesn't actually increase colour saturation, but does make the colours feel more separate.

Great review! Thank you so much!

wow that's very strange. it does sound significantly better on the mix bus but i don't understand why considering what the null tests sound like. very intriguing

I think plugins sound 2d. You can never hear the depth added by the hardware. but it's still better than nothing. After all, the hardware of this device is 4000 euros :)

I listened to this video on headphones last month while working outside and it's been kicking around in my head ever since, so now I need to watch it with my eyeballs. Great sound and great to see your creative sound sculpting, but the music also has such a specific vibe

Really missing the mono maker and stereo widener on this one

Hi I wonder if you could do an indepth review/demo of Pro Audio DSP DSM V3 ?

Awesome! Great track, too. 🙂

digging the track

I prefer Tone Projects Michelangelo for saturation and additional features, great video.

Howdy, a buddy just sent me this video as I, too, am setting up to do a video. Normally, I'm kept away from the public but I just find it interesting how the public uses my stuff and I want to show how I use it. It is like inventing a flamethrower and watching people use it to reheat their coffee. I'm very aggressive in how I use my stuff and the things I release to the public are often, um, tamed down :) It's like discovering that your grandmother makes your favorite cookies out of fireants and rusty razor blades. Yeah, that's why I'm hidden away. Anyway, thanks for the review. Robert Wainscott, Owner, Black Box Analog Design.

Thanks. Best/Mathias

Thank you! Great stuff

can you do a video showing what plugins you use for vocal mixing

Cubase has a nice workflow

Cubase 13 beat them All😂😂😂

Stellar vid. would love to see master bus applications of Dynamic Grading!

I like the idea of having a known SPL listening level, but either my phone's SPL meter is not even in the right ballpark, or I'm doing something wrong, because I can only hit 80dB SPL if I max out my monitor controller (which is a terrifying thing to do!). Pretty sure I'm gain-staging sensibly, because the main buses in my daw sit at around -18dBFS=0dB RMS, and those then go via mixer+outboard+master bus and come back mixed down into the daw at approx unity gain (about 8dB of digital headroom), then to monitor outs.

i think nobody talks about it (on youtube)

When my ears start playing tricks, I use reference tracks to stay oriented.

great stuff

I am a Digital Performer user (for over 30 years now), no complaints! I've done a lot of all kinds of productions, ...recording, mixing, mastering, in and outboard processing, synths, midi etc and synced with film/video material! ...i must say, i don't need another DAW! Digital Performer is very flexible and customiseble and stabile! ...if a DAW crashes often, the reason is normally some of the (third party) plug in(s) on open project!

The question remains: does it go beyond FabFilter's Saturn?

Thank you SO much for introducing me to MAAT, Mark. 🙏🏼 I knew within moments that FiDef was for me! i just got their Santa Cruz EQ & immediately felt the same way - i’ve plenty of great EQ’s but this thing somehow manages to add &/or remove the essential tweeks needed to the instrument, real or not, without it sounding EQ’d at all! + the 2BC multiCORR - Multiband Correlation plug is absolutely brilliant!!! There’s a good video out there about it but i’d love to get your take on it in relation to the jazz/prog soundstage. Shanti.~*

Great, I like how you keep identifying important topics and share your insights.

Thank Mark. That was an interesting, usefull, and educative contribution.

I know you said you need to chain plugins together to get similar effects, but I'd like to point out that Bitwig has Transient, loud and even Harmonic split containers, so you just chuck a compressor on the the tail or the transient for instance, add and map some modulators, save the preset and you've got your more "advanced" compressor.

can’t Cubase‘s Squasher do da job?

Thanks for all the comments! Just so you know, I have ADPTR Sculpt and Flux Solera. I tried to reproduce this same kind of precise upward compression on both of them. I couldn't get either of them close to what Dynamic Grading is able to do in this particular use case (snare ghost notes). Both Sculpt and Solera are great plugins and I use them both. But my experience is that Dynamic Grading can go farther. So it's very useful when I need that. Like on a very dense arrangement where ghost notes need to cut through.

Flux Solera

Thanks for the video🤝

It seems to be a downwards plus a upwards compression...

Keen to watch this, I was sold by their advertising but during a mix I found I rarely draw for it. Keen to learn how to use this effectively.

Ableton Multiband

Reaper has a stock plugin called “general dynamics” that can do all of that (and then some..) But the GUI of this one is really much more intuitive 👍

I use Cubase 13 pro as my main DAW and the Reason Rack. I use Reason for some tracks but Cubase is on another level.

Really like it - but a bit expensive! No alternatives? ADPTR perhaps - which has all of these as modules?

Sold!
