Thanks so much for these Dom especially the global copy trick . I've used Cubase since the very beginning and never realised this existed. This saves SO much time when rearranging tracks.
I find these shortcut and work flow videos the best type of content for my learning, the amount of time saved by knowing shortcuts and the correct way to do things is immeasurable
Thanks Dom. global copy alone is a changer for me. Been using Cubase since 2002 and knew very few of these. This is video is even more useful than the swiffer advice. 😅
Booom! I love these videos, because there is soooo much to master in Cubase that you always learn something new. I didn´t know that A makes fades for example. Thanks a lot, Dom!
Dom, You seem to make a video right as I am needing these types of functions in Cubase 12 pro. Thank you so much. Please keep doing videos. I am learning.
Thanks Dom. I've always been a bit wary of the range selection tool as the cursor kept changing from arrow to part while trying to use it... and now I know why 😁👍
Great Video Dom/steinberg , surprised so many on the comments don't know the "Global copy" function and general "project time" editing.(its save so much time then the other editing ways) my wish on this topic for next cubendo version, range selection improvements. first adding range/combined selection tool on midi editors (all this years without that its kind of strange) 2:abilliti to select multiple ranges , for example select 10 ranges on vocal tracks where have the "S" sibilance and process gain or split the ranges in one command etc...
Splendid as always - one question Dom. Did you just do both the fade in, and fade out - with range selection tool - and the SAME KEY COMMAND? I think it was A. I'll try it out of course but very interesting. :-)
So useful, Dom. Though I edit only voice over in the Essentials variant of Cubase I can use some of these tips and experiment and dig deeper. I also might consider upgrading to the Artist variation. Thank you so much. 👍
u can assign a keyboard shortcut in keycommands (ctrl+shift+m is mine) and toggle switch the next downmix preset here a screenshot prnt.sc/ItjWz16CWrHV this will switch mono stereo
Hey Dom! Loving your Videos.❤ Im quite new on cubase, is there an easy way to change stereo into mono? If im using an virtual instrument for the base i always find myself having stereo files. Could You please consider making a video about mono/stereo?😊
There is an option on the audio export page to export to mono. If you don't need a file per say, but rather a 'live conversion' of a stereo signal to mono within your project, you could create a mono group track and route your stereo VST to the mono group.
👍🍀I think one problem is internalizing all the shortcuts, learning them, storing them in your memory so that you have them ready immediately. I think that will only succeed if you work with it constantly, i.e. several hours a day, until the commands have become second nature. Well, let's go then 😅
Yes so true! I have a Word document with all my shortcuts but now it’s so long that I need a shortcut for it! I highlight the ones I am not as familiar with to remind me to use them. Using daily would be a blessing if only life didn’t get in the way!
On Mac, most apps show a transparent overlay of key-cuts as I like to call them if you hold down just the modifier key(s) for a couple seconds. Does Cubase take advantage of this awesome feature? To quickly see it is to quickly remember it.
man, would be so nice if you could make presets for offline processing from inserts of your actual channels, at this point i have couple projects n my vsti guitar sound is vsti channel with 4-8 inserts going to sub group with 4-8 inserts with 4-6 sends going to group bus with 2-6 inserts with like 2-4 sends :) it'd be a pain to copy this in another project ) even with the import channels function . trying to figure more cpu & scaling aka preset friendly approach :) panning combination is another story :') thank you , helped me a lot, been using cubase for over 20 years now, still not sure if im doing midi correctly :))
you can actually dragndrop your inserts into the offline processing window (one after another) and then store it there as a favorite. Or save your inserts of a track as FX chain preset and load it in the offline processing window.
There's another SIMPLE SHORTCUT that I use all the time. I select an event and I want to copy it to another lane in the same measure. SO I select the new lane and set the cursor to the beginning of the selected track (I want to copy). And NOW I use this MAKRO-SHORTCUT copy and paste and VOILA - the track was copied to the new lane behind the cursor. SOUNDS complicated but I is very simple... 😊
Does that global copy for the chorus also copy all automation in the range? I’ve had problems in the past trying to change arrangements but automation doesn’t copy with it
What a difference between "Events to parts" functions and "Glue"? Can't I just Glue chopped events and move it as one container? (look this video from 8.55min) PS. Can we use "offline process presets" to midi events? Not only for audio tracks?
Now we just gotta get Cubase to get rid of 2 undo's. It's so annoying having to use a different command when in the mixer and never understood the advantage. Also, when you move an automation piont say up 3 db but then you delete it cause you don't like it it will default the track volume to where you moved it instead of where it was originally. The trick is to make a point further down the timeline where the song is over and that becomes the anchor point. Seems like easy fixes, and they're super annoying issues. There are more, but I'll digress.
I find the 2 different undo’s really handy as I may tweak a mixer item on a track when I just notice it needs tweaking, in between editing so I am able to leave the tweak in place but undo a bad edit. I’m sure there are many situations like this. I believe it’s just getting used to it. One way to make this easy to work with is to assign a key (eg F4 in my case) to open a really small mixer window that has history column showing so I can press F4 to quickly open and close it to see my mixing tweaks I may want to undo. Also Ctrl+H opens the history window for the main undo. Shame it doesn’t close the same way, as I have to click on the cross to close it.
Pro Tools is the best DAW to all of this. 😂😂. Joking. I’ve been using Nuendo for three years and set up some of my key commands to match that of Pro Tools. Ima have to try some of the shortcuts you mentioned in this video.
Sorry... You lost me at 0:33 when you say "...by clicking this icon right here". Don't have it. Soooooo, why is that? Doesn't exist in the Setup Toolbar-menu either so here I am wondering if this is due to me using Elements 13 (13.0.10), and might this function only exist in in bigger versions of Cubase? Or is there some tick some where I need to tick? Since I'm using a clean, fresh installation with every setting at default the lack of it isn't due to me. So, if you show a function that's only available in Artist or Pro, this must be told. [edit] Just saw the tooltip "Combine Selection Tools (Alt+Shift+1)" and tried that key-combo as well. I just got a BLEP!-sound due to not an available shortcut. So, I take it it doesn't exist in Elements. Yup, it's fully on your (Steinbergs) responsibility to tell small details like this since it throws hours away from peoples lives while searching for what is wrong.
One thing about Dom's videos.. you can't be proud to say you can't learn something. You will always learn something new!
Thanks Dom
Thanks so much for these Dom especially the global copy trick . I've used Cubase since the very beginning and never realised this existed. This saves SO much time when rearranging tracks.
Every time I hear the intro music and Dom's voice, I get totally jacked up and ready to go Cubase.
I find these shortcut and work flow videos the best type of content for my learning, the amount of time saved by knowing shortcuts and the correct way to do things is immeasurable
Thanks for your videos they help me learn Cubase.They are game changers and help me to get the most out of Cubase
Thanks! I didn't expect to learn so much new information!
Great Dom for all those tricks (Boom !) Specially the Global Copy-Paste time, and also the Bank and Favorites in Direct Offline Processing.
I love shortcuts and use them since ever.... but today I learned something new. So cool. THX, great vid!!!!
Incredible 😮stuff I never knew and some stuff I already have found my way, but very useful worthful video! ❤
Love the way you get to the point! I’ve learned sooo much from your videos!
Thank you Dom!!! Weekend Cubase user here loves your detailed key by key, selector by selector tips. This is SO helpful!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Very valuable information!
So helpful, Dom. Learning about "global copy" was worth the video alone. But as usual, the whole thing was gold!
Thanks Dom. global copy alone is a changer for me. Been using Cubase since 2002 and knew very few of these. This is video is even more useful than the swiffer advice. 😅
Ouhhhh that is great!! Can you explain detect silence. For me is an great tool of Cubase too. Thanks
Another great tutorial. I was so inspired by your tutorials I actually upgraded to the Cubase Pro. Happy days!!
THANKS A LOT!!!! Paste time saves me hours of work 🙏 can't thank you enough for this!!! 😊
Dom... every video yours it´s amazing... regards from Chile. HB
Honestly, this is so awesome - thank you! There's so much information here... and so well organized
These are great tips! Thanks.
Brilliant video Dom - all of these are very useful tips! Very much appreciated!
😊👍
Some really great tips in this one. Definitely a few tricks I had never seen demonstrated before, I learned some keepers. Great video Dom.
Nice and useful. Thank you Dom
As always really really useful, thanks Dom. Cheers Dave
Dom,🤟 this is invaluable, this sort of stuff doesnt get enough coverage for those of us who dont use Cubase day in day out...
Booom! I love these videos, because there is soooo much to master in Cubase that you always learn something new. I didn´t know that A makes fades for example. Thanks a lot, Dom!
There is the video i have been waiting for xD!! Thank you Dom!
This was awesome! Now we need the same video for your MIDI editing tricks!
Dom, You seem to make a video right as I am needing these types of functions in Cubase 12 pro. Thank you so much. Please keep doing videos. I am learning.
Wow Dom! How do you keep finding these gems! I knew ofand use about half of these but the other half are also amazing! Thank you!
Awesome tips, thank you Dom!
Thanks' Dom I'm really enjoying your channel. And just like that Boom, I'm better at what I do!😉
Killer. I ALWAYS learn something new.
Bro your cubase tutorials are really super handy. I learnt alot from your videos. Thanks alotttt.. 🤗 🤗
super useful video! thank you
Thank you for your help!! 👏👏👏
Great tips as always for a very complex DAW.
I'm talking from India. Helpful Vedio...
OMG 😨 thank you Dom!!
I did was terrified when duplicating a chorus, because of the automations.
Great video!!!
Excellent video! Informative, ultra-useful tips, well explained and you pace yourself well. I've favourited this video. Cheers Dom!
Thanks Dom. I've always been a bit wary of the range selection tool as the cursor kept changing from arrow to part while trying to use it... and now I know why 😁👍
Brilliant, if only I wasn't so old I might remember some of the key commands next time! 🤣
Dom is the man 🙌🏻
Great Video Dom/steinberg , surprised so many on the comments don't know the "Global copy" function and general "project time" editing.(its save so much time then the other editing ways)
my wish on this topic for next cubendo version, range selection improvements.

Fantastic tips thank you very much!
Awesome as always Dom!
This one is amazing! So specific 👏
this is gold
Wow,thanks Dom.
You are the best sir!
Wow, I love the number 7 solution. I've always been using the glue tool
if events are not connected to each other the glue-tool creates an audio-part - it’s the same function.
Nice one Dom!
can´t live without Parts and my own Direct Offline Process Presets!! ❤
Great stuff, thank you! :)
Thanks Dom!
Splendid as always - one question Dom. Did you just do both the fade in, and fade out - with range selection tool - and the SAME KEY COMMAND? I think it was A. I'll try it out of course but very interesting. :-)
More workflow stuff please 🙏
Awesome… is that o it isn’t the best daw?? 😊 Love it
Awesome 😮😮😮😮😮😮🙏🙏🙏👊
Grande Dom
Number one dommmmmmmm!!!
Awesome!!!❤❤
Pro🙌Thnx🙏
So useful, Dom. Though I edit only voice over in the Essentials variant of Cubase I can use some of these tips and experiment and dig deeper. I also might consider upgrading to the Artist variation. Thank you so much. 👍
Thanks Sir👌
Thanks for this interesting video. Are any possibilities in Cubase to make shortcut for mono/stereo button in CR?
u can assign a keyboard shortcut in keycommands (ctrl+shift+m is mine) and toggle switch the next downmix preset
here a screenshot prnt.sc/ItjWz16CWrHV this will switch mono stereo
Thank you
It's always unbelievable. I work with Cubase for around 20 years now and I'm still learning a lot. Thank you very much Dom!
Combine this with Stream Deck and editing becomes enjoyable and not a chore 🙂
Hi Don!, Is it the Zaor Miza X2 Flex your desk? Thanks :)
Does the global copy & paste include all automation as well?
Hey Dom! Loving your Videos.❤

HI Dom. How do i sync a tempo to any music piece with cubase please?
Cubase is a university in its own right.

OMG: Global Copy / Paste Time, I've never seen that before!!!! 😞
These are huge!.......now how to increase my memory function....sooooo many key commands!?!?! 😳
Do you add these commands to your stream deck?
man, would be so nice if you could make presets for offline processing from inserts of your actual channels, at this point i have couple projects n my vsti guitar sound is vsti channel with 4-8 inserts going to sub group with 4-8 inserts with 4-6 sends going to group bus with 2-6 inserts with like 2-4 sends :) it'd be a pain to copy this in another project ) even with the import channels function . trying to figure more cpu & scaling aka preset friendly approach :) panning combination is another story :') thank you , helped me a lot, been using cubase for over 20 years now, still not sure if im doing midi correctly :))

There is soooo much in Cubase. It is sometimes overwhelming if you don’t work with it day in day out

You got to activate this feature
What a difference between "Events to parts" functions and "Glue"?
Can't I just Glue chopped events and move it as one container? (look this video from 8.55min)
PS. Can we use "offline process presets" to midi events? Not only for audio tracks?
Beneficial video as always, it would be nice if there was a cheat sheet I could download, rather than going to the video again and again.
i will have my master degree here
👌👍😁

Does Dom ever stop teaching NEW stuff in Cubase?
Pro Tools is the best DAW to all of this. 😂😂.
Joking. I’ve been using Nuendo for three years and set up some of my key commands to match that of Pro Tools.
Ima have to try some of the shortcuts you mentioned in this video.
check this Cubaseowner website >>Cubase Keycommands
I really hate the cubase manual, it is so dry'n dusty stuff I don't like it. But ❤Doms Videos help me out thx

Yup, it's fully on your (Steinbergs) responsibility to tell small details like this since it throws hours away from peoples lives while searching for what is wrong.
As lightning fast as this comment!
Cubase looks like a toy story. Feels like not serious
Fantastic video - thank you !
Many great tips, thanks!
