There is nothing better than being at the beach and watching Chris Selim Cubase mastery. If I had an extra beer, the whole experience would be on another level. Thanks Chris.
By the beach? Now I'm jealous :-)
The import tracks tip is amazing! Thank you so much!
You are the boss of Cubase tutorials! I hope Steiny is paying you well for this. You deserve it! Thank you! 🙏🏽🎶❤️
Thank you for all these very useful tips. You are a very good teacher. Your video are so interesting. Greetings from Québec!
Always something to learn...
great tips! Always enjoy your videos - excellent presentation!
Thanks so much, Ken!
Hi Chris. Great tips. I've been using all of them for years and they sure save time.
Some interesting things to note:
1. On the mix console, holding Shift & Alt automatically enables a non-latching Q-link. No need for a key command. (Unless you prefer it latching). One of the best features. Works not only on faders but also on inserts, sends, eq's, etc.
2. You can hold Shift while increasing/decreasing faders to have "fine" control changes. That also works on pretty much everything in Cubase. Plugin param's, EQ's, sends, etc.
3. If channels are truly linked, (say 8ch's of drums) you can hold Alt while increasing/decreasing faders and it will then only adjust that channel and not all of them. Almost as if they are not linked.
You could maybe share on Macro's also. That's currently my #1 tip. I have a key command that executes a macro which, duplicates my selected audio track with all its current settings, removes all the track content, disables record arm on the track and enables it on the new track, takes my transport line back to start and renames the channel.
This is something I personally do frequently when I do a lot of vocal takes to have them on separate channels. (I'll be glad to share that macro)
Love your videos and how you present them!!
Those are great tips, thanks for sharing :-) Feel free to share this macro if you want. I'll make a Macro video and share yours at the same time :-) info@mixdownonline.com
That was so cool. Thanks Chris! 👍🏾
Glad you liked it!
Another EXCELLENT video.
Thank you for your videos mate. They are brilliant... i have learned some great tips :)
Great job Chris. Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
6, 7 , 8 very useful! Thank you Chris!
Glad it was helpful!
Chris como siempre excelente Tutorial!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Chris for the very useful tips. It saves us so much time, more time to compose and arranging!
You're very welcome!
Excellent stuff - lots to learn here.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you very much for These wonderful tips,
You are so welcome!
Gr8 tips
I use the import from project after i export all tracks dry to copy over effects and automation to a full mixing project so i have all tracks dry if i need them and a dedicated mix session. Big game changer!
You make it sound so obvious! Thanks for another great bunch of tips.
My pleasure!
Exelente!! muchas gracias por tus tips!! Saludos desde Argentina!
You're welcome
wow, just wow. thanks so much.
You're welcome
Learned Alot :)
Cheers Chris.....valuable info 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Chris
Great Tips Thanks Sir.
Most welcome!
Thank you for your sugesstions !!
You're so welcome!
Awesome tips 👍 been using cubase since version 3 and still finding useful tips. Keep up the great work.
Would you consider showing a stream start to finish of your mixing progress? Would be good one to watch 🙂
Happy the video was helpful. I'm actually gonna release a premium Mixing in Cubase full course at the end of September :-)
Thanks Chris.
Any time!
very nice !!
Many thanks!!
You are the best!
lol, thanks!
I like this, great info but, when I upgraded to 10.5, this was the first thing I did, FIGURE IT OUT, in reality it didn't take to long, maybe because I 've been using Cubase since I jumped into digital recording. So those of you new to Cubase, Chris is giving you some very practical info here, info that will go a long way in achieving your recording, mixing and mastering endeavors. Learn the in's and out's of your software and you will have a much easier time designing your consoles (templates) for your work flow. This is the great thing about Cubase, you can customize it to whatever task you are trying to achieve. In other words, you can have multiple consoles in different configurations. How much would that have cost in the 70's?
Great job as always Chris.
Thanks David!
You Rock!!!
No, You Rock ;-)
Great stuff, as usual, Chris! Question: does your Presonus Faderport "follow" the active Mix Console when you switch between Mix Consoles on screen?
No, it will follow MixConsole1...good question
Dear Chris, the video is priceless, thanks a lot! Could you please explain what’s the difference between Q-linking channels vs doing same thing with VCA?
It's a workflow thing. All channels remain independent from each other so the control is made by the VCA Fader which is easier for automation
Hey Chris, I was wondering if there was a way to automate the process of cutting audio clips by dtecting silences and after creating cycle markers on the resulting clips with names for export. I'm a sound designer for games and I often have to export multiple regions and automating this process would speed up my workflow so much. Thanks Chirs and again thaks for the awesome videos
cubase is the best daw, period!
Totally agree ;-)
Thanks you so much!! How do you narrow the tracks on the mixer to fit more channels on please? I tried to zone my group tracks as you have just informed how but I'm left with no visible channels?
The Keaboard shortcut on the MixConsole is G to zoom out and H to zoom in...So click on H if you want to narrow all your channels in the MixConsole
Thanks Chris great tips. Can you make a video with your record workflow and your project setup to record?
Here's a video I made a while ago about my recording template ua-cam.com/video/sarNPZSWedE/v-deo.html. Let me know if you want me to add anything on a new video
@@mixdownonline Thanks so much for this video, really helped me.
Hi Chris. Thanks to your Cubase Course and previous videos I use nearly all these tips. Apart from my Steinberg CC121 Controller the most recent improvement to workflow when using Cubase (and other programs) is using an Elgato Stream Deck (15 button) - the great thing is it has a Cubase Plugin that can easily be added and you no longer have to remember all the short cut keys (definitely helpful as we get older!!). www.elgato.com/en/gaming/stream-deck
I heard a lot of good stuff on the Elgato, I need to get one!
A question about the visibility sidebar: I noticed that if you hide channels, they will still be audible even though they are hidden. Is there a setting that will automatically mute any channel that you want to hide or do I have to mute the channel first before I make them invisible? (basically putting them in storage)
As far as I know I don't think there's such a feature
Thanks Chris. Can I ask on here if anyone knows what the name of the command is (in key commands) to scroll the mixer across to home/end. Can't for the life of me find it. Many thanks!
Hi Chris, concerning TDR Nova, you talk about in another video, from their link www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-nova/ is not possible to download it; I use Windows 10, 64 bit version 2004. By clicking on the Windows installer and accepting the license agreement nothing happens...
Thank you.
How to fix latency on a bus track?
Latency is not something that you can fix on a bus track. It has to do with the buffer size. Here's a video related to latency ua-cam.com/video/RuOn6qEs4z4/v-deo.html

i do not found a key command to scroll up and down... help!
Up and Down Arrows on your computer keyboard
Additonal TIPP: For those big projects use CONFIGURATIONs in the mixer !!!!
..., maybe set it up for every group of instruments and assign a shortcut to every group!
(mine is "altGR-shift-1" , "altGR-shift-2" and so on for groupe-1. groupe-2.... )
Gerhard Binkele yep, I have several configurations on key commands, e.g. for viewing only audio tracks or fx/group channels.
I wish I could save those configurations globally instead of only per project.
@@Am6-9 and there is one problem with it: if you add one new track to an existing configuration then it is added to all configs and you have to delete it each one by hand separately if you don't want it in an config.
That's not the behaviour I'd like to have. That should be fixed in an update!
Great tip, thanks for sharing :-)
@@mixdownonline great Video!
Dom Siglas link?
Just added In the description
Thanks, great team that the both of you make, very complimentary!
Regarding key commands, I once wrote a little web app that can read Cubase’s key commands (the config file “key commands.xml”) and display a nice web page of all currently configured cubase key commands, grouped by section.
Maybe it’s useful for someone else, too:
janminor.github.io/cubase/CubaseKeyCommands.html
(You can find the "Key Commands.xml" in the cubase preference directory as described here: helpcenter.steinberg.de/hc/en-us/articles/115000245510-Preferences-of-Cubase-and-Nuendo)
Wow, thanks for sharing my friend!
hey sir I have question I am currently using cubase 10 . I have monitors and headphone connected to my interface but how can I turn the monitors off while recoding in daw .I go and unplug my monıtors when I record please help :D
Man, you got the colors all wrong! Guitars are yellow, lead vocals are red, background vocals bright pink, basses are light blue. Everyone knows that 😛
Well, with everyone I mean me...
