Your videos are always great man. You take technical things and make them easier to understand. Thanks for your contributions.
You're welcome!
Thank you, Chris. ALWAYS look forward to your videos. Happy New Year, my friend.
Happy new year to you as well :-)
Thanks for the update. You are not the only one that has done this on UA-cam. I’ve see a lot of people teach the wrong way many times and not come back to clarify.
I appreciate your comment, thanks :-)
Dear sir your tutorials most important .tnx for dedication 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank You for clearing this up! I realize I've been doing Input (clip) Gain fade outs thinking it was volume fade outs for a long time. After this I will remap my brain... Again, thanks! :)
Happy to help!
Great as Always
Thank you! Cheers!
just the video i needed.Thanks Chris !
Glad to help!
Another revelation. Thanks so much Chris!!!
Welcome!
Thanks, may need to view this a few more times to log it into the brain. Much appreciate your education. Cheers Bruce :-)
Glad to help, thanks, Bruce!
Thank You Chris!!!
My pleasure!
Another great video. Thanks.
Thanks
Very useful info. Thanx.
You're welcome
You READ my mind AGAIN! Though I have toyed with pre and post fader, this was a great explanation straight forward and that is why I SMASHED the like button! Thank you brother
YEAH! Thanks!
Another way to handle this is to slice the track and adjust the waveform level itself.
Very instructive video.
Glad you liked it
Thank you so much you are great Selim.
Always welcome
cool! never tought about it before!
:-)
Thanks Bro it is really useful video . 👌
Welcome 👍
Many thanks Chris, love the attention to detail. We're all human too ;-)
Yes we are :-) Thanks!
Thanks for this Chris. Question, when we use the pencil tool right on the audio track to adjust volume is that pre or post fader?
Pre Fader and Pre Inserts cause you're working on the audio itself
@@mixdownonline Thanks!
dope.....from nigeria
Awesome!
Hi! Can i ask you how to overlap audio? Thankyou
Hi Chris, I have a question! Do you using 32 bit float or 64 bit float processing in cubase?
For plugin processing I use 64 bit float
Can you please make a detailed video about variaudio??
I made one a while ago ua-cam.com/video/xoZ5CFcP0RA/v-deo.html and also a quick overview of Variaudio 3 in this one ua-cam.com/video/wmLMf3lPQKs/v-deo.html. Let me know if that helps or not :-)
What about Wavelab ?
Selim sir do i have to make individual Reverb fx for each track or only 1 FX reverb for all instruments in same reverb?... If yes hall or room?
Sir i am stuck help me and i want to know something like how whd be the Reverb set for hard Panned right or hard Panned left channel Audio? Hellppppppp
No, you can use a Reverb for several tracks, you can also have a Reverb per instrument groups, it depends on the song you're mixing. Same for the type of reverb, it depends on what you're mixing and in what space you want to have around your instrument. I didn't understand the second part of your question.
@@mixdownonline thank u for your time sir.... And I understood that if I have a guitar group then I can use the same Reverb.... I mean to say that room Reverb is good for guitar or Hall Reverb.... Thanks once again sir..... God bless... See u.. :)
It would have been good to show accessing the Input Gain control on the Channel's Input section.
Also, how about pre vs post fader metering? Apparently logic and Pro Tools has this. Cubase does too, but it sure would be nice to be able to see both at the same time.
Hey Clay, yes, PT has pre vs post fader metering but not Cubase. What Cubase has far as Metering Options are: Input - Post Fader and Post Panner but no Pre-Fader Metering. Input will give you the metering reading of the Input Signal only without going into the plugins.Unless I'm missing something here, and that can happen ;-) I'll be honest with you, I never had the need of using Pre Fader metering.
@@mixdownonline Thanks Chris. This is what I had read about it...

@@lahattec Thanks for sharing the article :-) It helps me to understand why you asked me this question. For me, not a big deal since don't gain stage at -6dbfs like he does, but between -18 to -12 dbfs to give me headroom and avoid clipping my plugins and channels. So for me, pre fader metering is a none issue :-)
Hi chris..how I split the screen on cubase 10.5 pro?I have two computer monitor..and I want to split them for the main project and th mix console..
don't know if this will work for you, but i just open another window....usually the mixer....and then use the mouse to drag it over to the other monitor....
@@stegersexguitars5808 Hi there..yes!!!!...I'm infront of my pc now..I just did what you say and its working 1000%...thanks so much man for your reply..I really2 appreciate it..👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm using Cubase 10 and i have serious problem with mastering any subjection?
Watch my last video ua-cam.com/video/tBVagSoYtCM/v-deo.html
Hi, really interesting video. I am trying to master a song in Cubase 11 (Elements). I am a bit confused by the way you master here - I thought for mastering, you just use the Stereo Output channel, but it looks like you've exported the mix first and then added it to a normal track in Cubase to master it that way. Why do you do it like that? Won't you lose quality, since you're exporting twice (what bitrate etc do you export the mix as before mastering btw?).
I've been trying to master my song by adding a compressor, Maximizer and Brickwall Limiter to the Stereo Output channel, and I was wondering how many Post Fader Inserts the Stereo Output channel has? It seems to only have 2 by default - is there a way to change this? I need 4 because I need to add Youlean Loudness Meter after the Maximizer and Brickwall Limiter. Thanks.
We need a stock gain plugin
Why not!
I'm first! ;p
Yes you are! Lol!
Not related but I'm suspecting that I might have a similar issue. When using voxengo span to check how loud my master is it always falls short of the commercial master level of around -30db on the visualizer mine peaks at around -36 any louder and it distorts. Why is this?
After spending ages tweaking the compression etc - why would you want to change input gain into the compressor/limiter? This will change the sound. Why not automate the master gain instead? The glue of the track will stay intact and achive the aim you're lookig for.
Actually, like I shared on my other video, balancing the Dynamics with Gain Control (if needed) is always done before using a Compressor for the reasons you mentioned above. However, I work my Limiter before anything else, even Gain Control Automation cause I always re-visit my Limiter before bouncing the Master. Automating the Master Gain (Channel Fader I assume?) so after your channel's Limiter, will mess up the loudness LUFS balance of your master. If you need to adjust the Volume Fader after Compression, then use your Limiter Post Fader. Hope that helps :-)
Because the input gain is the enemy and friend..
Straight answer.. :)
I was thinking that too. Been doing it for years. I hardly ever touch the input gain on tracks and most definitely never automate input gains. The only post I ever use on the master buss would be meters and dither.
