Cubase 9.5 Tutorial - 10 Useful Shortcuts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2024
- In this video tutorial, I give you 10 useful tips for working in Cubase. Most of these tips and tricks are about project navigation, not mixing and mastering. Nevertheless, once you master moving around your project, you will be able to more readily focus on the task at hand, which is of course recording and mixing professional music. Thanks for watching and check out the links below. Peace!

Well done. Thank you for a very helpful, clearly explained video re. Cubase shortcuts! Just what I needed to know.
Two other handy shortcuts:
-Pressing "0" on Num Pad stops recording.
-To change the height of all tracks at the same time, hold down Ctrl (Cmd in Mac), while hovering over the border of any track until you get the small double bar icon for "up/down" , then drag up or down.
Nice tips!
I love how you go just to the point: practical, clear.
So cool! Very useful! The one I use a lot is Alt+P when I have an event selected. It will automatical set the locators, turn loop on and will start playing!
DUUUUUUUDE!!!! THESE ARE AWESOME!!!! I'm new to Cubase - switching over after being a Cakewalk/Sonar user for 20 years. I know how to do ALL of this stuff in Cakewalk - it's like second nature. I have the Cubase manual and a couple of books, but even with that it's been somewhat slow trying to find a lot of these daily regular things. Thank you so much for making this video! - Andrew Colyer, New York
another useful thing i found out today: ctrl+f => a small window with ALL your tracks appears and you can jump right to the one you want to edit. very helpful within big projects imo.
and thx dude in general. cubase is my main daw and i have learned some useful things from your videos. keep it up!
Nice, another one I didn't know!
Another good one I use all the time (which I'm pretty sure were the default key binds) CTRL + 1, 2, 3, etc. to set marker and then Shift + 1, 2, 3, etc. to jump to those markers. Really good for navigating to verse 1, verse 2, hook/drop, bridge, etc. without even having to look.
Beautiful man, you're the only one who helped me
Just made the switch to Cubase after about a decade spent with Logic and was having a hell of a time finding this information laid out clearly for some reason! Good stuff, thanks a bunch!
Robert Zahn Music I’m doing the same. What made you swap and how are you finding it ?
By the time I'm dead, I would have read two books:
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
2. Cubase manual
Sound logic my good man 😂😂😂
I just love all the shortcuts on the Numpad. Everytime I have a guitar or bass on my lab I just navigate and control the basic functions like record there. Such a timesaver.
No doubt! It would be hard for me to produce a lot of stuff without them.
Extremely helpful video - - nice that you repeated stuff as you went through.
Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thanks man!! You've earned my respect
It’s an old video now but still learnt some stuff. On c12 now and really enjoying it.
The best key control in Cubase is sample replace. Drag a sample from the Pool/Bay, hold shift before releasing over another sample, now we get a choice to replace just that 1 or all in project. Amazing for changing a clap, kick etc.
I've never done that one, but it sounds cool. I sequence most of my drums in MIDI, not audio. But I'll have to keep that one in mind for the future. Thanks!
Yeah, not been able to do this is what forced me over to using MIDI for drums a few times. I always reverted back to the samples on audio track. Learning sample replace is a life saver for those who work this way. I can't believe how hidden it is. In the past i'd searched for hours for a quick way to replace all the versions of sample.
I've just stumbled on Click holding the 'E' opens up the VST editor instead of the channel setting editor. Another neat feature.
use a sampler bro
Thanks
Thankds a lot for these hints.. I use them very often.
Many thanks about the video! I’m watching all of them . Keep doing this great job. Greetings from Greece!
This was really helpful, thanks so much! P is a great shortcut!
My favorite way to zoom (which was not mentioned here) is to click at the top into the measure/time marker area, and drag down. Fast accurate zooming with one button push!
I have been searching the internet for days trying to find out how to scroll sideways in Cubase! Thanks - so simple , I knew it would be but I just didn't know and nobody was saying how. Thanks!
Still a very nice video. I Also appreciate that you repeat everything over and over. That's helps to learn faster.
Super helpful, thanks
i love this guy .he makes it so damn easy
Thank you!
thanks for tips!
Thanks for this video bro, greetings
You're welcome!
You are a good instructor. You talk to us, not at us. How can I bend a Bass note in the instrument or MIDI editor?
In the control lane of the MIDI editor, where it says "velocity", click the carrot and there will be an option for "pitch bend" in the dropdown menu. Select that and draw in your bend with the pencil tool. You may need to take off snap to get the desired result.
I suggest you are hired at Steinberg support. They don't mean a toe compared to your help. Their support is useless and your is worthful. Congratz and thanks !
Thanks for the kind words!
Great list! I've used P then num 1& 2 for quite some time; was good to learn about shift P! Also, A for fade in select range; I've always struggled to get a fade located where I want it using just a mouse. Ctl-Wheel for zoom will also be very useful. Thanks for all you do: You rock!
You're welcome Jesse! I'm glad it's helpful!
Thanks man! Very useful. It’s great you’re doing this.
tanks my friend
I didn't know about 7 of those, shift-f will save me a lot of time! Someday they need to allow the drum editor in 'edit in place'. Thanks for the great video!
Oooh. Drum editor 'edit in place' would be sweet! I may have to put in a feature request!
Nice tips
Great tips. I already use half of these but the other half have taken my workflow from fast to very, very fast!
I use cubase since version sx3 , and those tips are very usefull thanks!
Great video, really helpful and useful tips.Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped!
Awesome! Thanks. Have you ever gotten into explaining how to understand in the Inspector how those pieces (Input, Instrument, etc) work especially when integrating a 3rd party i.e. NI Komplete.
I use ctrl click and alt click for locators
That's a good one too!
I remapped [{}]
[Place left locator . Place right Locator]
{go to left locator . Go to right Locator}
Ctrl [] lets you enter a specific value
Alt Gr [Left Zone . Right Zone]
Alt Gr Space Bar Lower Zone. Alt Gr does all the other Info, status lines, Zones etc. L Status line, I info line, O Overview, T Transport, M Meter, U Upper. Made sense to me to keep it logical and linked. [{}] is easy reach. Now if one forgets it requires little thought to be remembered.
I used to use the Alt Click as it's standard but i could never understand why the Alt and Alt Gr are the opposite way round on the keyboard to the locator on the screen.
Check out my list. drive.google.com/file/d/0BzUqoUE_JiOucVN2QXlTYlIyb1E/view?usp=sharing
Very helpful for learning Cubase! Thank you so much!
Also if you just hit key number 1 it will bring your cursor to the beginning of the selected range. Hit C for metronome, as long as it's set up in your studio. You can create your own key shortcuts too, i use that to create a new track, MIDI, audio, and instrument ...
VERY helpful, thanks! Would love some tips on cutting and pasting.
Navigation is key on ALL daws...great video!
Thanks!
Thx man
This truly helped me thnx
Fantastic explanation, thank you very much!
Thanks a lot. That's exactly what I was looking for .
Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
cool tips. thanks
You're welcome!
Sooo excellent! Thx for the tips... Noticed hitting z will zoom both selected as in the video, but when one track is a different size than the 2nd track they toggle zoom - which is actually cool too.
One tip I'd love to know is how to move an event horizontally, and lock it from moving right/left when dragging to another track/channel?
That vid was seriously helpful. Thanks for putting the time in!!!!
You're welcome! I'm glad it was useful!
About the horizontal scroll - if someone's seeing this - it should be possible to change direction the preferences! I know you can inverse the mouse wheel in the OS preferences but this is actually reverse vertical scroll too which is a pain.
I think the direction of scroll up (i.e. to the beginning of the document) should be the same direction of scroll left (i.e. to the beginning of the project). But someone cubase thought differently.
I just switched to using Cubase, this helped a ton! Thanks!
Awesome tips, thanks alot
Extremely usefull tips
Great ! You can use CTRL+F for FIND, give you a select list of your tracks . useful
Great !
You are hereby certified "Cubase Guru"
Thanks!
That was great. Thanks.
Tip 10 is exactly what I needed!
Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
Yeah me too but if you map it to a short cut key, there's currently a bug, watch out. 'Ctrl Shift I' is the default but i prefer 'Ctrl E'
HiWould you be able to speak about constrain delay compensation plz, Thing is when I turn it on,, it turns off most of my plugin, If I use a send it creates a flanging sound?
Super great tips! Thanks!!
You're welcome!
Thx
Really good video with the shortcuts that have been faded in so often - great for keeping them in your mind instantly !!!
With Zooming I do it nearly the same way with the mouse wheel - BUT I change the "G" and the "H"-keys to zoom vertically.
The trick with the Z to enlarge selected tracks is not bad but I use another key to do so. But I change the undo-function from Crtl-Z to "Z" - this is much quicker. I don't know how often you use the undo-function - but in my case it is very often.
That's a good idea. I've been thinking about remapping stuff to be more efficient. It's on my "2018 get more organized" list!
It's what I've spent the past few weeks doing. Applying new logic to all the shortcuts. Easier to remember, lots added. Here's where I'm at with it.

I started a thread over on Steinberg Forum too.
Thanx for sharing this! I will take a closer look at it.
Thanks, any input would be appreciated. I love hearing other peoples approach, it helps. The list under goes quite some changes but the link will always be the same one.
Edit: some of the list might be a little confusing at first but once it clicks it makes for a smaller, more compact, easier to follow table.
Thanks a lot. Very helpful.
Thank you, good sir!
This is great thanks man
great stuff. thanks a lot! Maybe summarize the shortcuts under the video?
very useful! what do the punch points do?
Thanks very much for the tips great tips and very clear the way you engage it to us . I want to know if you have any idea how to move an audio track from one place to another without dragging it all the way . For ex to move audio track no 64 to 22 . Is there any fast way to do it?
Great video...very helpful and very time saving:
Amazing thanks mate!
You're welcome! Happy to help!
Thanks heaps man, this helped a lot. I am so used to Reaper.
Thanks! I'm using Reaper for a project right now! Switching it up is always a little scary at first.
Thanks heaps mate very helpfull!!!
Cheers
10 great tips . my problem is remembering them ! , ha ha TU^ 22 Oh , just upgraded to 9.5 and took advantage of Strindberg black Friday deal and bought the absolute bundle , which included Halion 6 , so keep posting hints and tips and I will be watching
I always wanted Absolute, but I'm still working my way through everything in Komplete 11 Ultimate. I think I'll have some Groove Agent and Halion Sonic SE stuff in the weeks and months to come. Thank you for watching!
I may have mentioned that I was about to purchase Halion 6 a week or two back , the price was then £285 , the week before black Friday Strinberg put the price up to £300 , me and my son were hoping that Halion 6 was going to be the black Friday deal , but we decided we would purchase even if it wasn't, when BF finally arrived it was Absolute that was the deal at £252 so we were able to purchase Absolute and upgrade to 9.5 for £ 304 , we were both very chuffed , as overall we saved £50 each and had all the instruments in the Strindberg range that we could want and more besides ,
Komplete11 ultimate is way out of our price range , and think what we have is more than enough for our needs , your video's have and will be very helpful in my learning curb all though I have had Cubase for many years there is always so much to learn and different ways of going about recording and mixing , keep the great work up ;-) Trevor
Man, you are just great!!!
some great tips, cheers from Liverpool
Thanks! Cheers from Denver!
It is really useful tips for me. Thanks :D
You're welcome! I'm glad they helped!
You're the best, bro! Thank you! T.T
Thank you for this great video. :)
You're welcome!
Great Video!
Thank you so much! :)
You're welcome!
For punch in and punch out just hit to asterisk key while it's playing.
Do you know if its possible to access a given instrument track preset just by shortcuts? I'm struggling... My goal is to create macros that call a specific VSTi track preset.
What does the W keyboard shortcut do? It's under edit category but I just can't seems to figure it out. Do anyone one knows?
thanks a lot
The "P" key. Why didn't I know about THAT before? Shhhhhoooooot. Thanks! Have watched plenty o' Cubase tip vids and it looks like you do them very well. Subscribed.
I just recently started working on editing audio within Cubase (specifically tracks for my daughter's dance studio). By chance are you able to point me toward a great tutorial regarding cross fading between tracks, or cross fading in Cubase in general? Again, fantastic tips tutorial. I'll be looking at more of your stuff. Oooo, and what software do you use to video capture?
I use Cyberlink screen recorder. It is very simple and I do all of the compositing after the fact in Adobe Premiere. I'm thinking about switching in 2018 to OBS or XSplit because the additional features will help me go live. Old habits die hard though. I'll put a fading and cross fading tutorial on the agenda. Should be out in January! Thanks for watching!
great man !!!!!!!!
Thank you! I have been working in Сub for a long time but did not know half of these functions :). Thank you for the video! I can give another hint. If you make a marker track, and in it make loop markers. (it’s convenient to mark parts of the composition). They will also have numbers: 1; 2; 3; etc. Transition on them Shift + 1; 2; 3;... (digit) (on num lk section). Thank you for the video! Very helpful!
(!)It was nice if you shot a video about organizing plugins in Cubes. Favorite folders, etc.
p.s. what program did you capture the screen? Very convenient zone approaches!
Thank you. 👊😁
You're welcome! I hope it helped!
I'm just over a year late ...but I thank you for these useful tips! ;-)
Any chance to have them typed somewhere here so we could have these tips ready to print?
Very helpful thanks. Is there a way to use the mousewheel to zoom the project vertically?
Hello Mr. Talking Leaf Media thank you for your answer but my problem is that I miss least to buy cubase 9 rpo, music is my life and I need your help?
do one on patch scripts for synths, sound modules how toinstall them create them and choose them in cubase 9
great tips!
Thanks!
thanx for video,bro. You know i have a problem, maybe u can help . Fucking cubase 8 changed the way my projects sound , after windows 10 update .. now when i open project setup it shows 44100 / 16 , although it was 48000 / 16 ... ok when i convert to 48000 the audio lines sound normal as used to , but synths sound too fast ... how to fix THEM ? cheers
tnx for tips
good one !
I think CRTL-SHIFT+"I" opens and closes the EDIT IN PLACE-editor (or function). But I'm not really shure if I assigned it myself (;-) !!!
Thank you mate.Great tutorial as always.Can you do tutorial about new colours feature in Cubase 9.5? I guess its imposible now create deep black left and right panels or maybe im wrong but you can try.I still can do that in version 9 but 9.5 nfortunately no,cheers
Never thought somebody uses Z, I remove it ASAP to not distract me while Ctrl+Z. Disadvantage of Z is that it doesn't return to 2 rows or 3 rows height, it makes everything small. Definitely not my workflow. Wow, didn't know about Ctrl+left
ight - awesome! About "edit in plase" you can zoom pianoroll if scroll with cursor over keys.
I got this with a Yamaha THR, but just cannot connect it so annoying.. :(( tried all things, trying to add bus and type in thr but nothing happens. Can smb help
TY mate, help me understood i absolutely need a cubase sticker for my QWERTY :D
