    Who downvotes a video like this? Seriously, what is up with people that they would do that? Keep 'em comin', Greg. Always learn something on these visits.

    • @TCommando

      Maybe people who dont like this bad vocals? It was really hard to hear those wrong notes. :-/

    • @SetantaCovenant
      @SetantaCovenant 6 років тому +7

      I'm not sure that I agree with you about the vocal being "bad." She is microtonaly pitchy but not enough to be distracting, unless you've grown up in the era when most vocals are Autotuned to pitch perfection but soulless delivery.
      Grab a few multitracks of classic songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and run them through Autotune/Melodyne. See how many drift off pitch and yet still sound great.
      Anyhoo, this is a video about sidechaining, not pitch correction, so I'm not sure what the vocal performance has to do with anonymous down votes?

    • @DrumsBob
      @DrumsBob 6 років тому +6

      I wonder that on many UA-cam videos. Could be people who can't understand it and blame the creator. Or trolls.

    • @SetantaCovenant
      @SetantaCovenant 6 років тому +3

      Inded. Or, parhaps as Tcommando said, it's people who find the vocals jarring? For instance, if I had to sing for my supper I would've starved a long time ago. However, I'm a reasonable guitarist, and, if I hear a guitar played slighlty off tune, it hurts my ears. Maybe this is what Tcommando was referring to?
      Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing this from downvotes only. It just looks like you don't like the video, which is unfair to Greg, who is always superb.

    I have one question about activating side-chain in Cubase. Is there a difference between just "Activating delay side chain in original track's send" and "Changing output of copy audio track to side-chained delay effector"?

    Hi and thanks for the great video. Is there a way to side chain the delay without duplicating the track. Also, is there any difference between side chaining and actually changing the outputs? It has always made me wonder.

    Greg, you could use original vocal channel to create sidechaining instead of using duplicated track...

  • @ralfnolte174
    @ralfnolte174 6 років тому +4

    Thanks for the tipps, Greg!
    Would be a good idea to set the MIX in the delay to 100% wet. The delay is still too loud over the sung words for my taste. Another sidechained compressor afterwards would be nice. Also the relaese-time in the reverb compressor is set to 500ms, which takes away very much of the reverb signal. something like 100ms would probably be better.
    BTW: why do you copy the vocal track? you could use the pre-fader sends from the original track, i think.
    BBTW: could you make the intro to your videos a bit softer? i always have to turn down my amp for that.
    best,
    Ralf

    Hey, Greg!
    Thanks for the this video. I've been trying to use this on a duplicated group channel.
    Essentially, I've got two lead vocal tracks grouped into 1 stereo channel. I've duplicated the group channel and followed the instructions:
    > create an FX channel (delay) for the original group channel and turn it on/up in the send section
    > add a compressor below the delay in the insert section of the return (FX) channel
    > activate the side chain on the compressor
    > route the duplicated group channel to the side chained compressor.
    But it doesn't work. Is there a step I'm missing? Or is it the case that I have to duplicate the actual audio tracks? The reason I need to apply delay ducking to the group channel, as opposed to the individual vocal tracks, is that I'm already processing the group channel, i.e. added inserts to affect both vocal tracks at once. IT would totally defeat the object of improving workflow if, say, I had six vocal tracks that required the same ducking treatment. So I hope it IS the case that I'm missing a step.
    Many thanks. I look forward to your reply.

    • @QuaverloveStudio
      @QuaverloveStudio 5 років тому

      Ok... it looks like this only works when audio tracks are copied. Maybe that's something that Steinberg need to look into... giving us the ability to apply the same technique to group channels, as well as via the Direct Routing facility.

  • @tonycarpenter-Makzimia
    @tonycarpenter-Makzimia 6 років тому

    Greg, I am used to Logic Pro X where a Aux bus can be setup and a compressor is used up high along with sidechain to do that. Why is the Cubase way so convoluted?. Why can't we sidechain a comp and feed it down to the delay.

    • @giulioboobzilla
      @giulioboobzilla 6 років тому +1

      Tony Carpenter
      Datz what he did.
      the FX Channel is the Aux.

    • @tonycarpenter-Makzimia
      @tonycarpenter-Makzimia 6 років тому

      OK, I explained it incorrectly sorry.. both delay and comp are on same aux usually. Just curious mostly why the way cubase does it happened.

    • @giulioboobzilla
      @giulioboobzilla 6 років тому

      No problem.
      Both Cubase and Logic could b easier in sum ways

  • @StephenAntKneeBk5

  • @mgmthegrand
    @mgmthegrand 2 роки тому

    Why do you need to duplicate the original track though? Can't you just send from the VOX channel to the FX channel and also send from VOX channel to the sidechain?

    Any chance of a video showing how to install Cubase on a PC ? I've been trying for over a week so far and it simply does not want to install on my computer. I have Windows 7 64 bit - it's all fully up to date, has no malware or viruses on it and yet Cubase does not want to install on it. Every other brand of DAW I have tried installs without any issues - but Cubase 9.5 simply won't install. So far the only thing I have produced on Cubase 9.5 is the following:
    Cubase LE AI Elements 9.5.30 Update installation failed.
    Fatal error during installation.
    Error Code: 1603

      + Gary Neutrino. I got in contact with Yamaha / Steinberg. It turns out I had an issue with my .Net Framerwork. Windows Update was saying it was ok / up to date - but after looking into the registry I was in fact on an older version. So I installed Net Framework 4.7.2 - and now it all works like a charm.

    Awesome Greg thanks 🙏 so much your awesome, hey is there any way to go about editing cc data in quantized patterns or even iterative quantize patterns for example I have a midi part that came out really good you can check it out on iTunes Store under post in space by the cube, but basically using the square editing tool under the line menu in the editors in cubase I was somehow able to get it right however, I am wondering how to not only set the edition tools to line up to quantize but to line up to different quantize values in the editor so that I can get it just right the way I see it by in only one midi region with different edits in the same midi region using the square tool for example in the piano roll editor for cc data ???????

  • @electedmusic7685

    Hello my friend, a question, I bought the update of cubase 9.5, from version 8. And when I open a track vst and record, in the track you can not see the notes, you see the transparent bar, and when I finish recording, you see the bar in black, without notes or anything, the weird thing is that I click on the midi track and the editor opens below, and the midi notes are seen, but in the editor, on the vst track, . Could you tell me how I can fix it? If I change the color of the track, if the notes are seen. Is it necessary to color the tracks so that midi notes are visible? Thank you very much and greetings from the Canary Islands

  • @mgmthegrand
    @mgmthegrand 2 роки тому

    So when using the built-in sidechain function in the Cubase plugin you can't control the attack and release. Not ideal. I'd rather apply a compressor and sidechain through that device for more control. Still very helpful for quick adjustments though.
