No matter how long I've used Cubase -- and study your courses -- I always learn another new tip or two from your vids, Chris.
I feel the same!
Great to hear! :)
@@mixdownonline Hello. How high is Studio One compared to Cubase today? I'm thinking about Studio One because I would like Cubase but it's too expensive and Studio One was made by the same producers as Cubase so it's worth
I have learned many more tips and tricks from Chris videos , I don't need to go for another videos or search for another videos, this is the right channel thanks Chris tips and videos.
Wow, thanks! Have an amazing day!
Je tombe par terre! Wow, comment j'ai passé tant d'années à travailler avec Cubase, à contourner mes problèmes de punch-in/out, à tellement vouloir insérer un compresseur-limiter sur mes mics, et voilà qu'en un seul video, j'ai comme une révélation! La lumière! La lumière enfin!!!! Je pleurerai plus tard tout ce temps perdu mais maintenant, je me garoche au studio pour aller tout de suite tester tout ça. Je suis impatient d'essayer ça à ma prochaine session de narration. Chris, mille mercis.
Fait plaisir J-F!
Thanks sir for tips and very nice video.
No bull, no nonsense, just DAMN GOOD INFO!!!!
You are a godsend Chris!!!
Life's too short to spend frustrated!!! Thanks for saving us precious time!!
Peace dude!!!
Any time Steve!
Heck that’s a lot of exclamation marks dude……………!
@@tronlady1 lmao!!!! lol yeah, I guess I was a little excited with the tips in that video. Your reply made me laugh out loud. Thanks and Cheers
The input channels using plugins is a game changer for me. I can now use a preamp, EQ and compressor (or whatever is needed) like I would if I was using outboard gear. Thank you Chris!
I really don't understand how I missed it! I have so these different input bus options and routings, but i never thought to put plugins on the input bus and record 🤣
The more I think about this, the more I think Steinberg should REALLY be pushing this. Most people say, "Want to record using your plugins? Buy an Apollo interface and the UAD plugins". I have a new Steinberg UR816C interface that comes with Yamaha DSP plugins designed to be used during recording. They are good and all but I'd rather use one of my Neve 1073 type preamp plugins or API or, etc. Just record on the input channel and you're all set.
It is a very nice feature that a lot of people don't know about!
Great Chris, boy, did I need to know these cool recording features, such a game changer for me being a newbie at this. Thanks 💯👌🏼
You are making many composers' life easy.
Keep up the good work buddy.
Thanks a lot, you are a great master!
great video as always! Especially the hints about the monitoring button are really helpful to me. THX!
Happy to help Mikro!
This is all pure gold, thanks
You're welcome!
Love your practical presentation style! Great tips.
Thanks so much! :)
This was very helpful! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Great tips as always! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Very useful tutorial thank u sir,
Thanks for the video. Very greatful to you. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent content yet again, thanks Chris!
My pleasure!
Hi Chris, I learn something new everytime I watch one of your videos. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Spot on! These techniques saved me a lot of time when recording and editing multi-miked drums.
Great to hear!
Another great video, thanks Chris!
My pleasure, you're welcome, Mark!
Thanks for sharing always great and useful tips!!
My pleasure!
Thx you so much for sharing this ..... really great
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much!!!
The pleasure is all mine!
truly outstanding, dude. if you are not as nice of guy as you come across on your videos, it would be highly disappointing.
amazing man
Very useful. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Chris, always very helpful, have a great day, all the best.
Thanks, you too!
Thanks You! The audio monitoring option now allows me to listen to the instrument before the punch in point AND during recording. Could never solved that riddle until seeing your vid. Don't know why that's not the default mode.
Great video. Very informative and explained very nicely. Thank you. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video! And great deal with the Guide cupon😁 Just bought it, can't wait to get home and get into it.✌
Oh yeah! Thanks! Hope you'll enjoy it!
Man... great video thank you
You're welcome!
I always learn something about Cubase here ! Thanks a lot from france ;)
Bienvenue :)
Nice job, Chris.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this clip, thanks so much, Chris :-)
My pleasure!
Tip #2 about the "monitor" button automation is a huge time saver! Thanks!
You're more than welcome David!
Actually the bonus feature is a very beloved one. That was a very well done compilation of recording features, thank you, Chris.
You're welcome Jorge :)
Hi Chris, thank you for the very useful lesson about the variety type of recording on Cubase but I have a question how can we adjust our punch in punch out recording with the footswitch pedal? that will be very interested thank you very much for your work!
Hey Chris,
thanks for these tips! Very nice video. While is was watching and you showed the lanes feature, I was again wondering what would be the best way to edit these overlapping events? What's you're take on this? I find it very annoying that you have to select ALL overlapping events to trim them effectively.
very useful !
Glad to hear that!
Most useful
Glad you think so! :)
First time I realize that I need to use Track Versions more often - and am also gonna start using Punch in and out. Thanks Chris!
You're welcome!
I really need to use track versions more often. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I’ve always done it this way too: lanes and versions. But I’ve realized it sets me up for a ton of tedious editing. These days I’m trying Nuendo’s “replace” mode, which is how we did it in the old days without DAWs-you record, and if you don’t like it, you record over the top, lose everything, until you get it right. No editing! And become a better musician.
Very helpful. Does your tracking/recording template largely mirror your mixing template (minus the FX channels and all of the insert and send FXs)? Thanks!
Cool
Love ya Chris!!
:)
Hi Chris, great and helpful video, but at 14:40.. 'psnpeater'... What does that mean?
lanes still blow my mind
A little tip, I find helpful, is that when you say what you enter on the keyboard (say CMD+C), make it pop up as an image on the screen. It´s easier to catch the keycommand, if it´s not heard properly.
Good Idea!
Recording mode!!! Soooo helpful!!!!! I think you covered it also in your course but I totally forgot about it! And the punch in/out!!!! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Can you recommend a footswitch to connect with CC121 for manually starting the recording?
Glad it was helpful! Not sure how that would work since I don't have the CC121
Chris, great video as always! Regarding placing plugins (committing) on the input channel, is the main advantage just saving cumulative processing power for large projects with the disadvantage being no way to edit/reverse them, so for simple/small projects it's presumably best to place plugins after the input channel?
It's more of a workflow and personal thing. The good side of committing whether you're using hardware or plugins, is too get the best recording at the source so that means, less work when mixing but that also means that there's no turning back ;-) You need to know what you're doing when doing so imo
Chris great video ! But what command are you talking about at 14:39? My subtitle shows: "..psnpeater..."? Please reveal :-)
Hi Chris, I just saw your video while away from home. I didn't know about the input channels and the effects ! Wow ! Does this work with all kind of plugins ? I mean even the UAD ones ? Thank you for your videos, you are a truly good educator ;)
Salut Michel, yes it does work with all your plugins but depending on the buffer size, you will need to deal with latency if you're monitoring through Cubase
Thanks for the helpful videos. I know this obvious to everyone else, but when I use the take lanes, and have previous takes, but want to do more takes, when I start recording, the PREVIOUS TAKES ARE NOT MUTED and playback while I'm trying to record a new take. It's driving me mad! None of the recording modes at the bottom left of the screen seem to work. Is it in the settings or Preferences? Thanks!
cubase.. best daw for evrything... specially vocals
Yeah!
Hello, Do you know how to make the loop recording jump back before the locators (like still keeping the pre-roll activated while having loop recording) ? Thanks! I just want to hear what has been recorded before my loop starts again and again
Salut de Plaisance près de Montebello! Bon contenu!
Salut Pierre, j'ai grandi à Gatineau et imagine toi donc que j'me suis marié à Plaissance y'as 22 ans de ça...Le monde est p'tit, même sur UA-cam ;)
Bonus bonus feature... Audio retrospective recording. I set mine in preferences to be larger than the default value. I drop my clients in manually most of the time and have an extra 3 secs at the front of the wav means no pressure to get the drop point perfect. Just roll the wav back a bit if you were late.
That is indeed very useful... some will say a Life Saving Cubase tips ;-) ua-cam.com/video/pblm069R19g/v-deo.html
Hi Chris. Great video as always! Question: Are there any usefull Android Tablets you can use with Cubase or to controll midi data on vst instruments or FX?
To control Cubase I don't think so, but Cubasis 3 is available on Android that is a DAW fro mobile devices
This is great! Working throughout trandport controls would be helpful. For example, you grab the range and select it, but it seems that process is somewhat tricky. Maybe you have key commands for that. But I don't know how to set that up. Grabbing an event and moving it either along the timeline horizontally or vertically through the arrangement would be really helpful. I am still making my way through the Cubase course and I am finding it very helpful. Thank you!
Yes, to set up the Punch in/out locator you can use the Range Selection Tool and set that up with a keycommand you will have to set up manually like I did in the video. Glad you're enjoying the Cubase course :)
@@mixdownonline thank you!!!
Hey Chris, as always, great video...so I signed up in order to get your mix template. Do you have a video on how to import mix templates? Couldn't find any on youtube. I'm stuck.
scratch that..easy, just open it from the download and save as template. You're best! thanks
There you go! My pleasure!
Sir CUBASEDE, how can I record the sounds of our own organ?
Hi Chris i like setting my Cubase HIDPI but most of my vst plugins don't function correctly.do you have any solution for this or must i turn it off? thanks
🎉🎉
Nice tips Chris! I use the folder very often. I record drums a lot (group editing enabled) but i have to open all the individual track lanes in order to comp the takes. If i don't open every track it is only comping the one highlighted. It quickly gets messy when i have 20 tracks of drums. Have you experienced this bug?
Hey Catalin! I'm not Chris, but this is what I've found. Selecting takes with group editing enabled should change them. However, swipe comping only changes the selected track. If you want to edit all at once you have to cut the region you want to replace and then select the correct take with the comp tool.That should update all tracks. If you want to swipe comp, all lanes have to be open. Hope this helps! Also, if you have group editing enabled and try to select a lane with the selection tool, all lanes start to open, so make sure you do all your comp editing with the comp tool so you don't accidentally open multiple lanes.
Hey Ron, you seem to know your Cubase pretty well :) You are 100% correct on this. I actually demonstrate this in my Editing in Cubase course. I don't know why Swipe Comping works only on the selected track, doesn't make any sense, but that's the way it is for now. Thanks Ron!
Cool videos.
As a Cubase-noob I really enjoy them.
One question about punch in and out.
How do you set up and control your sinuscurve to not make a "clicksound/clicknoise" when recording punch ins..?
(It becomed audible when playing back afterwards.)
Just make sure your punch in/out locators are setup in a quiet place of the vocal recording and you should be fine
@@mixdownonline
That's what I've been doing so far. Finding a flat spot in the sinuscurve.
However it doesn't always do the trick. Isn't there a setting which makes Cubase do a sort of "auto fade-in/transition" from one recording to another..??
I know for a fact that other of the common DAW's can do that..
When I solo let's say a bass track for example during the cycle loop playback I hear a click pop sound at the end and beginning of the loop. I've notice this on other audio tracks as well. Note this does not happen on a midi track. Can not figure out why this is happening Cubase Pro 12 Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks. 🤔
I do not understand how to write the phrases I like from the loop. Do you need a loopback function for this?
Hi Chris how did you set the locators around the small selection of the track where you highlight the "4, 5 & 6" part? Great video as always
Go back to this part of the video, I explained it ;)
@@mixdownonline Derp, my bad. I should have known it was 'P'. Thanks for the reply
Hi Chris
Around 12 mins in you mention that the code is available till Sunday yet the on screen text it says available till May 26th (next Tuesday). ..just thought I'd let you know.
Cheers for the great tips .
Sorry, my bad!
It's actually until May 26
THANKS, I knew the auto punch in and out was there but was to lazy to figure it out on my own. Thanks for doing it for me. Can you do a demo on auto crossfades also so I don't have to figure that out on my own? I spend hours getting rid of clicks because my daughter just punches in and out wherever she wants knowing I will fix it.
You're welcome! What do you mean by Auto-Crossfades? Crossfades will not remove clicks.
@@mixdownonline I was hoping for something like this: www.sweetwater.com/insync/batch-fades-in-pro-tools/ , you're right, X-fades won't get rid of recorded pops and clicks but when your daughter punches out of a long sustained bass note right in the middle of it, it can certainly help. A function that would X-fade between all events or a range as a starting point to work from would be useful.
Bon jour Chris, which of these methods (Track version, Lane or other combination) would you use to stack up several different snare drums playing a midi track in order to comp (or choose whole)?
None, I add my snare samples after my editing is done!
@@mixdownonline Thanks Chris, much appreciated! A time-saver in the long run.
Thank you for the video, Chris. I see this UA-cam video is tagged both with "#cubase" and "#cubase11". Do all the features you discussed work with Cubase 10.5?
Yes they do work on 10.5
For me I don't see input channels the same way you have them. Also in the section where it shows whats connected to the bus it shows the interface, but it doesnt show my microphone. What am i doing wrong?
Hi Chris, I've been a Cubase user since version 4...but just the other day without doing anything, it blacklisted all of my Waves plug ins! Can you offer how to get them back? It won't let me manually add them back from the blacklist. Anyone else?
Hi Chris is it possible to set triolas on click? If yes how. Thank's in advance.
Not that I know of
@@mixdownonline Thank you very much to confirm my thought.
How to apply your online class ?
Just follow this link: www.mixdownacademy.com
So what’s the difference between track versions and lanes? Why are use one over the other?
Lanes are useful when recording the same part several times for a better editing workflow to build the perfect take. Track Versions are useful for creative purposes, when you want to try different parts of the same section of a song. I can make a video on this, it's a good question.
@@mixdownonline thankyou for your reply chris :)
HELLO FROM INDIA SIR.. PLZ TELL ABOUT YOUR PC SPECIFICATIONS😀
There you go! ua-cam.com/video/d813T4zzpqk/v-deo.html
Hi Chris bro ..
Hey!
Why will you ever want to use inserts on an input track? Wouldn't you always want a clean recording so you can manipulate it later on?
Most of the time, yes, but It's more of a workflow and personal thing. A lot of well known recording engineers will record through hardware to get the tone close to what they want to end up with when mixing and to get the best recording possible at the source so that means, less work when mixing but that also means that there's no turning back, so you need to know what you're doing. SO one can do the equivalent using the input inserts in Cubase. Not a must, just a preference. You can also use the Input Inserts for metering plugins like I will demonstrate in next week's video, so stay tuned :)
Chris please add subtitles. Thanks
Yes, UA-cam does that automatiaclly like on all my other videos but it can take time to proces when the video was just published
Do u Know AR Rahman Chris
Not at all!
Slum dog millionaire 2 Oscar winner ... From India in Chennai ... Indian legend Music Composer ... Then I'm ur big fan bro ... I have ur all videos bro ... Thanks bro ..
I dont see the advantage doing "track versions" vs just "lanes".
when you watch this video but you're too late for the promo code 😢
Looks like the promo code still works until tonight...hurry up!
How the heck do successful YT people find time and energy to run their UA-cam channels in addition to running their businesses and dealing with their families? They must be working like 100 hours a week?
On my side, I built my business around my YT channel, so that's why I don't work 100h/week and I can spend time with my family :-)
@@mixdownonline so you put all your energy into the channel and got mixing/production work offers from that yeh? I wish I could focus on just one thing but I can't seem to do it??
#1 Cubase feature? Uninstall
Never in a million years ;-)
Hiiiii Ur effort Vera level 💖
