▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Got the update as soon as I got the email from Steinberg. Been watching a few today, and your overview of 13 is the best I've seen. I'm ready to go. Thanks.
Thank you so much! Enjoy your upgrade :)
"Why do i hear a bass..". Oh man that had me rolling.. perfect insertion instead of cutting that out of the video. "God dammit.. where is it". ROFL. Made my day seeing you be real and leaving it in the edit. Thank you for that. Very good video.
Haha, yes, it was to authentic too cut out :)
Great video! You covered everything and you found where the bass was coming from. Win-Win!
Hahaha, I did!
The new key command interface is a huge improvement. Wow.
lol "why do i hear a bass? goddamn it!"
Great review, Hagai. Very in depth. Clear.
As the great J J Kale once wrote: Mama don't allow no bass in this place 😂
Great update. Nice video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
awesome episode where you show the old version versus the new one in v. 13 and where you brief through all the new features. Thanks for the good work!
Thanks! Glad you like it :)
I wonder why I just found your channel. Very good video. Subscribed!
Thank you so much!
I miss that inverted dark top list on Windows. Its plain white. Update tip! Cheers!
Disable Mouse Wheel in the The Mix Console Settings...why did they NOT have that option from the start? By the way, some windows you were trying to show us didn't get captured by your desktop capture software near the beginning of the video.
Thank you!
Most Welcome!
super great update and awesome video Hagai, for me at least it also works soooo smooth now, maybe the smoothest ever! a lot of small bugs disappeared .
only this for me worth the update.
I wish they implemented a few things . not complaining , just dreaming...
1) compressor meter on the meter channel itself (exactly like Protools does it) option to toggle off and on when needed
2) folders in the mixer window
3) moving channels freely in the mixer window
4) preferences might need a new update as well.. color schemes for examples needs some kind simpler way to work with.
5) preferences new option suggestion (like the mixer EQ that floats and disappears the moment you touch it with the mouse)
could be such a time savvier if there was an option on any parameter you choose in Cubase to use this function.
6) video editing option will be the best thing that would ever happen to cubase.
7) chord track update s
-option to use a scale in flats or sharps, make it effect globally in all midi editor pages (visibility option with on\off to the chord track )
-zooming in and out need a bit more flexibility to see the chords more correctly
-highlight the chords when the cursor is passing
-using monthling track list needs an update . like the visibility window on the left zones
-show scales could be updated to be more useful and more customizable . so it wont be locked to the chords.
-show scales copy and paste option could be independent from the chords
-show scales could drag and drop option
We always need more don’t we? that’s what keeps this industry alive :)
Thanks for taking the time to make this very informative video of the new features. With the upgrade from 12 pro at under £60 in the steinberg sale I've been watching quite a few "new feature" videos today. This one has sealed the deal! I thought I was done upgrading with 12. Been a steinberg user since Cubit midi sequencer and happy to continue my Steinberg journey after watching your very well informed take on all things new. You have a new subscriber!
pretty much same feeling, 20+y user, tempted to ugrade, did you upgrade then and is it worth it, and stable?
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your kind words and Sub 🙏
Thank you for sharing your time and in depth review with us. CB12 Pro user myself. IMHO. Lots of eye candy. Personally, I was hoping for collapsable folders / tracks in the mix window and the ability to move tracks in the mix window as well. Which by the way are two great features in the new version of PT.
Hi Peter. I guess there will always be more room for users' feedback and improvements. I personally think that this might not be impressive at first look, they did address important workflow issues and offered very useful additions to the Sampler Track and Chord Pads. I'm personally a happy camper :)
I'm not even a pro user, but I completely agree with that. But of course I would want those things...I came from Logic. lol But I still dig it all. :)
very nice walkthrough hagai. Thx. What's the guitar you used on min 24?
Thanks! This one is a gem: www.orangetreesamples.com/products/evolution-jazz-archtop
Amazing! I usually keep track of the per version updates but this time I kind of just installed it and used Cubase 13! You're wasting no time in just machine gunning your way through super cool litte and large new features for half an hour !!! o_0 And I come from the "Cubase 13 New Features - Ultimate Overview!!" from Green Music Productions which is doing about the same. Of course there is some overlap but you have different takes on it so hahaha ... what happened in Hamburg for the last few years? :D I'll tell you what happened. Cubase got better!
Awesome
Glad you like it :)
Très bonne review !
Ravi que ça vous plaise!
Thorough presentation, thank you very much!!! Could you please share where such track pictures as in MixConsole can be found (with the gold brass instruments 📯and any other stylish track pictures)?
Hi. Sorry for the late reply. I just download them from the web :) Make sure they are PNG with an alpha channel (transparent background) so they blend nicely with the track background.
תודה חגי סרטון מעולה
בשמחה יובל :)
Amazing video!!! Thank you for this! It seems that they have taken away the Get Chords from Chord Track in the Chord pad section. Do you know if it’s still available?
If I recall correctly, in Cubase 12, the feature to get chords from the chord track within the chord pads section was indeed present. Users could extract chord information from the chord track and apply it directly to the chord pads. This was useful for trying out different progressions and harmonies quickly :)
If this feature is not immediately visible in Cubase 13, it might have been relocated or modified as part of the software's updates. Steinberg often evolves the workflow and feature set with each new release, sometimes moving functions to more intuitive places or enhancing them for better user experience 🤷♂
@@HagaiDavidoff found it🙏🏾 thanks for responding!
Great Video❤ Thank you!
I'm looking for Missed Vst plugins After i install cubase13 all my Vst plugins are missed i need some info..pls
Are you sure you've installed all the content on your Cubase Pro 13 tab in Steinberg Downlopad Assistant?
With plug-in managers like Komplete Kontrol and AkAi VIP, a user can audition any preset Instantly, before loading it .
So, Cubase's media-bay, could make proxy audio files, for the presets of any selected libraries.
It would be like browsing the Loops and Samples section of Cubase, but the audition sample is pointing to, calling, a preset for that sound when needed.
That's an intriguing suggestion! The implementation would likely require collaboration with the plugin developers to establish a standardized format, perhaps something akin to VST3, to integrate seamlessly with Cubase's Media Bay. It's certainly an idea with potential to enhance workflow efficiency :)
Hi, great video! What was the guitar instrument you used? I liked the sound. Thanks. Have a great day.🎉 😀
The wonderfual Orange Tree Samples "Evolution Jazz Archtop".
@HagaiDavidoff thanks...I see they also have various other great sounding instruments, too. I think they were recorded analog, and that’s why they sound so real. Thanks again. 😊
And here I was convinced no update this time as I thought I liked the old GUI better… damn you 😂Best Cubase 13 vidéo
Thank you so much! Watch out for more soon :)
Amazing. Does anyone know if Steinberg fixed Automatic Quantize which only quantize 100% (very few instruments should ever be quantized at 100%). The logical thing would be to link AQ to soft quantize as well. I am aware of all the other options: midi insert percentage quantize, logical editor note position and quantizing with soft quantize after recording. All of these have its place, but AQ linked to Soft Quantize would be the quickest workflow option in my opinion. Always moving forward with less distractions.
Interesting idea. Yes, it's not currently available 🤷♂
....why loopback is not working in cubase 13? i have ssl2 with the latest fw it works great in logic but not in cubase, tried the routing but no luck...regards
I wouldn't know that from afar... I hope you'll work it out as soon as possible!
are there routing folders?
No, there are folders and there are groups. Each to its own purpose.
Hey Steinberg, give us chained sequences that can be selected on the fly so we can chain our sequences (chorus , breaks, riffs ) live to a song in any order. Give us program keys so we can program our keyboards keys to start midi or any events to trigger live (like 16th or 32th note repeats , midi effect on/offtriggers etc. for example). Give us a build in editor to program our hardware synthesizers. Give us scale and velocity sensitive quantize. Add groove quantize templates for better groove and swing options. (I know you can import them yourself but it should be stock..) 13 not a lucky number I gues .
Hey there!
I totally get where you’re coming from, wanting to make your live performances as dynamic and seamless as possible. Cubase has some cool tricks up its sleeve that can help with that. The Arranger Track is a nifty feature for live shows. It lets you shuffle your parts around-like your chorus and riffs-on the fly. It’s pretty handy for those spontaneous moments on stage.
About editing and programming your hardware synths, while Cubase doesn't have a dedicated editor for all hardware, it does support MIDI device panels, which can give you some control over your external gear.
And you're spot on about the quantize options. Cubase has a pretty robust quantize panel that includes scale and velocity-sensitive quantization. Groove quantize templates are there too, and yes, while you can import your own, there's a bunch included that might just do the trick.
I hope this helps, and here's to making your live sets even more electrifying!
@@HagaiDavidoff Thx. for your comment. I know the aranger but you have to program the order of the parts in the sequence .Or does Cubase 13 has a function to trigger the parts like with your qwerty keyboard or master keyboard ? I want to change the order of parts on the fly . ( like in 40 years old Opcode Studio Vision..🙂it had all the functions I mentioned and more)
@@neuronmindAs far as I know, there's no way to organize the arrangement in real time. I like this idea 💡
Nice video, but do you use AI to reply to some of comments ?! Very different styles... Your comments are sweet and casual, AI is all robotic polite !
You got me there...haha :) I did use AI on a couple of comments and I do agree with you, so I've stopped.
CUBASE IS THE BEST! 💪🏼😂
I've moved from CUBASE to BITWIG 5, can't return now, BW its the 'thing'
I'll be dead before I can understand all this stuff. I'm just trying to understand cubase 12 and that is difficult.
Not everyone need to explore every nook and cranny to get good results :)
Bitwig all the way!!!
Look the link below)))
PS. Can you make a video on Cubase’s internal midi routing ( no external midi controllers)
ua-cam.com/video/zkG2iknz-qA/v-deo.html&si=JNsv7LF2YvwjUCKy
Bitwig is indeed a behemoth of a DAW! I will consider making a video about Cubase MIDI routing in the near future 🙏
@@HagaiDavidoff can’t wait to see)
What is so wrong with this is the fact that when using the strip tools ...its called strip for a reason....taking from the word Channel Strip! I like how it used to work where you could see every knob of every element like a console .....This version 13 is kinda stupid ...yea it floats beside it but can I cant see 2 things at once and compare from the console! Maybe I dont want to bring up the channel strip... I want to see things in a console like view! Its very flat and ugly! People keep saying its modern...Yeah whatever! that is just an excuse for bad taste and a lack of artistic creativity in terms of graphic design! Then the Fader caps look like cartoons more than they used to looK! They were soft but kinda cartoonish....but Now!!!! OMG they look tacky.....They should have made them look like the faders from that one plugin from NOISE AUDIO...a true work of art! This is a true work of lazyness! NO taste! no Style! I dont use studio one for that reason! Its buttt ugly! The only flat daw I accept is Ableton Live! Its been this way from day one!
I see where you're coming from with the changes in Cubase 13. It can be quite jarring when an update alters something you're used to-especially something as integral as the mixer view. It's clear you have a keen eye for design and usability, and it's frustrating when a new 'look' doesn't match up to what you've found efficient and visually appealing.
The transition to a more minimalist design has been a trend across many platforms, but it's not for everyone, and it doesn't always feel like 'progress,' especially when it affects your workflow.
Regarding the faders, it's interesting how much the visual aspect can impact our experience with the software. It's definitely important for the tools we use to have that blend of functionality and style that feels right.
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts-feedback like yours is vital for developers to understand how changes play out in real-world use. Hopefully, future updates might offer a layout that feels more in tune with what you're looking for 🙏
The problem is - these 'features' are not features. This should be an incremental update. A free one too. Look at the innovational stuff Bitwig is doing. Steinberg user since 1991 here. But they really lost touch with reality and with your customers. IMO. Im on 11 and will not upgrade.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I appreciate your perspective as a long-time Steinberg user. I understand where you're coming from, and the debate between what constitutes a feature worthy of a paid upgrade versus an incremental update is indeed a valid one.
While I respect your viewpoint, I'd like to offer a different angle. Steinberg's approach with Cubase 13, from my experience, includes enhancements and new capabilities that are designed to improve workflow and creativity. These updates may not seem revolutionary when compared to the strides a DAW like Bitwig is making, but they are evolutionary in a way that supports existing users' workflows and the robustness of the platform.
I believe that the value of an upgrade sometimes transcends the list of features. Of course, the decision to upgrade is highly personal and depends on whether the new features align with one's individual needs and workflow.
I hope this provides some clarity on why some of us are excited about Cubase 13 and consider it more than just an incremental update. It's always great to have a dialogue among passionate users, and your input is a valuable part of that conversation 🙏
11 😂
Well it got stuff done what else is important? @@Mix3dbyMark
Some good points. Cubase user since 1989 (atari st days). I see what you're saying but Steinberg has been improving workflow since forever but you cant change the GUI with every update and charge people for it. I do like the channel strip being displayed on the left side. That will be useful. However i like to point out that 12 is still buggy yet Steinberg rather focus on a new version. For example, their crash system is still years behind the competition. Midi features are too (IMO). I dunno im still on 11 and having a stable platform is most important to me to get stuff done. I just dont see how these 'features' justify a whole new version. Maybe a 12.x upgrade for 50 bucks? @@HagaiDavidoff
@@HagaiDavidoffI'm going to have to agree with the original poster..this alleged upgrade should have been an update for Cubase 12. These are nominal features, and they don't really address a whole lot of workflow enhancements. Everyone keeps saying about how these aren't meant to be about flashy features but behind the scenes upgrades. But that's what an update is vs an update: it's improving and the mechanics behind the scenes with a few little tidbits for improved workflow..that's what this Cubase 13 upgrade offers. I'm actually disappointed in Stienberg, as I came from Studio One, Bitwig and Reaper, where you'd see minor updates comparable to what I'm seeing here in Cubase, and then incredible updates in .5 versions. And the the next full upgrade provides a whole lot more to incentive the current user to want to update right away.
And to be clear: I'm only a new guy on the block since version 12. But I've not seen this level of disappointment from 11 users going into 12 other than initial performance issues and the plugins which were removed due to parting ways with the plugin developers who made them.
This is by no means the best DAW. Cubase 13 still has performance issues with random spikes. This is not good. Other DAWs do not have these problems to this extent. And the new features are not particularly important for me as a hobbyist and live player.
I hear your concerns about performance issues and understand that every user has unique needs and preferences, especially when it comes to DAWs. It's true that what might be a minor inconvenience for some can be a deal-breaker for others, depending on their specific use cases.
As for the new features not being particularly impactful for you, that's a fair point. It's interesting to see how certain updates resonate differently with various users, from hobbyists to live players to studio professionals.
I'm curious, what features or aspects do you find most important in a DAW for your hobbyist and live playing needs?
@@HagaiDavidoff I use Cubase to control my HW synths (and SW plugins) and to set them as needed to play a specific song. Total Recal of the entire playing environment is the keyword. Cubase is particularly bad here.
It is also important to me that there are options to musical meaningfully change or supplement the MIDI data flow from the keyboard to the device. Luckily, Cubase still has some good MIDI things from the past.
Then I definitely need a good sheet music editor, for example to convert MIDI files into meaningful, playable sheet music. The score editor is actually quite good and it is integrated into the DAW and not an external program.
Another important use case for me is transcribing audio recordings. Cubase is quite good, but all the tempo mapping stuff is very difficult to use with a song played at a freer tempo. It's all set up more for idiotic DJ loops/beats at a fixed tempo. Simply try playing a song with a tempo map at half speed, to transcribe better. A nightmare.
I getting really sick of people saying the look of cubase 13 is better. its a total downgrade in Ui. It looks like bitwig or studio 1 now. thats a downgrade. I like the new features, but what a boring ugly interface. People that like this are the same people that say a Tesla looks better than a BMW or Mercedes.
It's a matter of personal preference, I guess...
Just installed. Haven't use Cubase since ver 10. On Mac with Apple Silicone whole experience is total garbage. Steinberg Library Manager is broken, Retrolouge synth still broken, everything is slow and glitchy. Absolute trash and waste of money. This was last time I updated.
Sorry to hear that. It's likely you're experiencing a local issue that isn't widely recognized, because if every Mac user were affected, it would be more well-known. Hope you find a solution soon 🙏
@@HagaiDavidoff issue was resolved by upgrading to macOS Sonoma 14.1. Steinberg does not officially support newest macOS but the issue was with Apple bug in 14.0. I got help on Steinberg forum.
@lukassbeataddicts Good on you mate 🎉
Please don´t lie to people. The best DAW is, by far, REAPER. Cubase don´t even come close. Were a Cubese user for lots of years and REAPER is way better, so please, is good, but not the best. i get it, you need money, but don´t lie.
That's merely subjective. To me, best DAW is Studio One, I tried Reaper and just couldn't stand it
Well to me I like Logic.
Whoa... quite offensive... No lying or money involved, mate, that's pure personal bias.
another REAPER CULT Dunning Kruger comment... this guy has obviously NO CLUE abt Cubase
Does Reaper have good midi editing?
