Composing in Cubase - How I created "Zingerama" - a guide to multi-track music creation

Here is a piece I composed using Cubase 7 called "Zingerama". It's an upbeat, optimistic, steadily progressing piece composed purposefully with lots of repetition. It's ideal video background music for presentations, slideshows etc.
Join me as I talk you thorough all the instruments and effects I used (including many free sounds).
It's intended as a guide to multi-track composing in Cubase (or for that matter, any DAW).
Hope you enjoy it!

I was surprised by the number of tracks! Normally I can't load so many instruments simultaneously (insufficient memory). I really liked your video, it is very illustrative. Did you use any compressor/limiter for mastering? I guess you have connected the keyboard with Cubase via Midi, right? That reminds me that I have to enter note by note with the mouse because I don't have a midi interface😂😂😂.

Hi Enrique! Thank you. About memory - my PC is a modest Intel i5 and only has 8Gb RAM. Runs all these VSTs with no problems. No compression/limiting for the mastering. No midi interface - my keyboard is an M-Audio Keystation 88 and simply plugs into the USB port. Hope this info is useful! 👍

Sounds cool but the kick drum - can't hear it well 😌

Sounds OK to me but thanks for pointing it out! And thanks for your comment!
