Since I used to play the guitar for several years before taking up music creation with a MIDI keyboard, I am totally used to using food switch pedals to affect the sound. Is there a good practice to "do it on the floor" so my hands can focus on playing? Like a foot operated fader controller device?
Guy I love your videos but I think key changes could be explored further. The video skimmed over the 2-5-1 method of changing keys, good to show minor variations of the 2-5-1, (2-7, 57, 1) or using the 4/5 method or modulating up to a major 4th. Interestingly the prolific songwriters Stock Aitken Waterman had key changes in probably 80 - 90 % of their songs, usually modulating up a major 4th, sometimes up a minor third.. Two purposes 1. to give the chorus a lift from a pre chorus buildup and also in many cases to keep the singers limited vocal range within an octave or a bit over an octave. Islands In The Stream by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers is another interesting example of key changes to suit the singers vocal ranges whereas the BeeGees version remained in one key. Thanks again, David
This is perfect. Were you reading my mind? I expected $200+ price tag. $60 is a no-brainer. Can’t wait to get started! I’ve owned Cubase for over a year, and haven’t done anything with it cuz I don’t know what to do. All I’ve used for DAW is GarageBand on my phone.
How to use the thing no one can afford... Stay tuned for "how to drive a Ferrari" 😄👍 I use Reaper, it just works, but it certainly isnt user friendly. Most of the things built into Cubase arent built into Reaper, but you can generally find what you need in the JSFX addon.
Can anyone help me out with how to setup Kontakt with many instruments? I just picked up Cubase and Kontakt and am starting on a piece with a few instruments and I have a Kontakt player window for each instrument currently (everytime I add a new instr. track). How do I get it setup so there is only one Kontakt player open with a list of instruments for my project in one window I can scroll through?
I'm going to go for it even though I've been using Cubase for a few years, as I'm sure I'll pick up some useful tips. I have two quick questions... Does it matter which version? (I'm still using Cubase 10.5 Pro). And, is the mixing section done exclusively with Cubase plugins? Thanks. Looking forward to it!
I know 0 about music but it's about sound. No mention at all of why a set scale sounds good? what is the subjective human experience of these sound combinations? ) explanation. but I don't need this because I can hear.
I know you use cubase guy. But It would be an interesting concept that if the instructor (who ever it is) teaches a new software say FL Studio, you will be the student in the video. So we can see a genuine judgement and reaction from someone who knows how to use other DAW but not with the other ones.
I really like the idea, can’t wait for Logic Pro. Also, finally a company that costs products based on currency and not same amount regardless of currency. Awesome!
I started on Cubase 10.5 in April 2020, upgraded to 13 pro earlier this year. I only get on for a weekend every fortnight or so due to work/family commitments. I reckon this is just what I need as Cubase is not feeling like my best friend right now!😅
Surely the first in such a series ought to be one of the free DAWs - (Reaper, cakewalk, many others) - let's be fair, you're not going to spend a lot of money on your first one (or at least, you shouldn't!)
As a Logic user for 30 years I would like to know more about Reaper. (and protools, but for this one this is just professional, not for pleasure obviously)
Cubase user here... I'd love to see workshops on Bitwig, I see it making quite a lot of noise recently and for the EDM and sound design side of things I think Bitwig is going to be a great addition
Bitwig excites me. I've just upgraded to Studio from the 8-Track that came with my Nektar LX-61+ software bundle. Its sound design potential is why I'm going to experiment with it after being frustrated by Reason's lack of progression. Bitwig workshops would definitely appeal to me, (and - surely - all Bitwig users who also appreciate Guy's style).
@@thevalueofn6994 I also transitioned from being a long time reason user to Cubase. I still use Reason as a vst within Cubase for some of the tools like the chord generators / arpeggiators etc ..the very unique tools for inspiration but yeah they really didn't progress and although v13 will bring some editor updates they really aren't a match for Cubase. I think Bitwig is also a very efificient environment for EDM, I've seen folk that made the switch comment on just how much more work they get done in that respect. Also they have 50% off all versions for the next 10 which is really making me want to jump in 🤣
You Mr. DAWmore has just been promoted to God by no other than myself. Cubase has been living on my Mac for two years, and I've never gotten around to learn it well enough to be able to use it any meaningful way. Later this month, I'll move into my new work room, and bang in the middle of it there will be me learning Cubase. It's not a minute too early. Most great composers were dead long before the reached my advanced age.
While there are plenty of DAW tutorials out there already, I have no doubt whatsoever that this course will carry the brand of clarity, enthusiasm and sense of fun that is entirely typical of anything Guy and his team produce. Great stuff, and look forward to joining it.
Hi, Which Cubase version will be enough for the course, I see they do a 60 day trial for the full, but I do eventually want to buy it. Will Elements be enough or will I need to go for the Artist version. I will probably only be doing some personal music or music for my Games.
I think this is great idea, thanks Thinkspace. Currently I have a 20.00 monthly subscription with Studio 1 Version 6, for about the last 6 months. Although all these different software DAWs (Pro logic, Reaper, Albeton etc..) has proprietary file extensions, for myself everything will always be output as midi, wave or mp4 files, making them compatable with each other. The quality and quantity of the plug-ins and VST libraries between different DAW is where my curiosity lies. When it comes to using DAWs and studio software, I have tend to come to the conclusion, but only from watching a lot of ytube videos, same controls different places, more of a work flow preference, and the little tricks that make the work flow less involved in clicking and operating sofware and more time exploring musical ideas. Thank you Guy and all the folks at Thinkspace, for offering all these great courses.
