I just want to let everyone know the FULL package is FANTASTIC!!! In just the first 7 lessons I learned SO MUCH that its really sparked my interest in trying to record music again. I've played guitar for about 15 years now and have always wanted to be able to record and produce cool music. Pros: -Super easy to follow and in a very logical order -Very thorough -Explanations for everything they're are doing and the various interfaces/VSTs -The go over free replacement plugins if you don't have cubase pro or artist -Fun lessons and sparked my interest in music again! Cons: -So far the only one I can think of is it REALLY made me want to upgrade to pro So yeah; for the price, it's A STEAL!!!! Definitely get it if you're on the fence! They cool bundles too that come with other courses if you want to learn other things too! Will definitely be buying more courses when I'm done for sure
@@adielee50 I'm guessing you have an audio track selected. Audio tracks are not playable in the same way MIDI based tracks are. As we show in the video, you need to create a sampler track instead of just dragging the audio in. When you do this and have the sampler track selected you will see the keyboard in the editor window :)
Very helpful. I am new to cubase (new to music editing, and doing video editing since 15 yrs). And will ask lots of questions later in journey. Thanks.
I've scoured Facebook, Reddit, and RU-vid for a couple weeks now trying to figure out why I can't get any audio. I've tried all the various solutions and suggested workarounds. To say I'm disappointed would be quite an understatement. It was worth a shot, though.
Just bought the course - about time - been using Cubase for years on and off but feel I should put some time in doing this course and getting to grips with it
I found it last night..it was selecting the stereo outs in chanel selection in mixdown..though i was mixing to mono...the stereo chanel had to be selected ...i was confused because of mono mixdown ...it worked!
Steinberg could use you to redo and clearly label their lessons as you have done here. eg:" beginners lesson 1" how freakin hard is that? thanks nice job! Keep them coming all the way to advanced!
Wow, I learned so much in such a short time! Great tutorial! Just moving from my archaic Sequel 3 and considering Cubase for an upgrade. So far so good.
I’ve bought multiple cubase 9.5 lessons from you and the lessons are great. Mac update has forced me to upgrade to 10.5, do you think the 9.5 tutorial is still just fine or has everything been moved around in 10.5
Hey, thanks for your support, very glad you are enjoying the courses. The main aspects are exactly the same in 10.5 as they are in 9.5 so you won't have any problems following along in 10.5 :) It's more like a few features have been added to but nothing has really changed around or modified in any major way. All the best
Great tutoria. I realise it's aimed at beginners but is it better to use the Sampler track for drum samples or should we use Groove Agent where you can drop the sample onto a pad and build a kit?
It's really up to you and depends on the type of drums you want. If you want a more live drums then almost definitely Groove Agent, but electronic styles then I would use the sampler track and maybe even a mix of that and a top loop from Groove Agent, you can mix it up as well :)
Having a problem copying the kick drum part from bars 9 to 16, the track name and coloured box copies but there is no kick sound. Enjoyed the lesson up to this point. a really frustrated beginner here
Hi. Great videos guys. In the beginner tutorial workfile notes it says the course is £19 but on the website it says £27. Sorry to sound petty, I just don't got much money at the minute.
Sorry about that Gareth, I have corrected the notes with the updated price. However, please email me jon at borntoproduce dot com and i'll get you sorted out :)
i have no idea (this is probably a dumb question) but on the midi how in the hell do you make it larger ie the visual representation of the notes, on mine they are tiny like VERY TINY,the keyboard on left is almost mircoscopic and i just can't see where you enlarge it ,everything else is no damn easy, but this such a small problem is baffling me !!!!
No worries, very common question. You need to zoom in vertically, just use the little vertical slider in the bottom right hand corner of the MIDI editor window :)
Nice video, thanks. Can you explain what the purpose of the loop region is if you end up duplicating the MIDI in to however many bars you need anyway? Is it just so you can hear it over and over again when you're applying fades/EQ/effects, etc.?
Yip you've got it. Just means you can focus on one specific section, not just for effects but also adding new parts etc. You can also use it to skip a section of your track by reversing the left and right positions :)
So I have a couple problems. I am a novice but have been slowly developing my skills over a couple years. I am nowhere close to being an expert. I cannot access files I've recorded because I accidentally deleted a program file. The only access I have is to go to recent projects. How can I fix this? When I finish a project and import it to a sound file it sounds muddy and unclean, not garbles but sort of like listening through an old tape recorder. Dull and nowhere close to what it sounds like when I play it back on the console. Also I just recorded a new song over the last two days. I saved it several times and played it back with no issues. This morning I wanted to show it to a friend and the playback was totally silent. I determined I would close the program and restart it but the computer crashed. When I rebooted and reopened Cubase my entire project was gone. Is there anyway to recover it or do I have to start all over?
Hey David. Sounds like you have some pretty serious PC issues there. What version of Cubase are you using and what version of Windows? To be honest, with proper software issues like this you will be better asking Steinberg. With respect to finding projects that are in your 'recent projects' list, they clearly are still on your hard drive so just open one of them up, go to 'file' 'save as' and see where on your computer Cubase is saving the files, then you can find them on your computer. If the project that was 'lost' was saved then it should be on your PC somewhere, but again, big software problems like this, you will need to ask Steinberg. Good luck :)
@@Borntoproduce Cubase LE AI Elements 9 is the icon. I believe I'm using Windows 10. My biggest thing I'd like to know is why when I mixdown and export my project is sounds so muffled? It's bright and clear through my speakers that are part of the recording system but when I play the file back through my computer is sounds cheap and thin. No pwer, dull. I even loaded the file back into a tack on cubase and same results, thin with no power or resonance.
@@anael169 Hey David. Sorry I forgot that bit. What export settings are you using? You will need to make sure in the export window that it is exporting at 44.1khz and 16 bit.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.. CAN YOU PLEASE CUT ABOUT -1.5 DB OF YOUR HIGH END OR USE DE-ESSER ON YOUR MIC INPUT... PROBABLY IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO.....THANKS 🤦🏾♂️🙈♥️🙏💯
I have problem out the gate. When I start Cubase it captures the audio output, so I can't hear the audio of your video. What settings do I change? Thanks.
Hi, I was downloading CUBASE 10.5 where I realized that you have to download features 1 by 1 but my windows 10 HP Laptop suddenly cut off when I got it back up I saw all the features that I was downloading in my folder what I want to know is how to place all the plug-ins, etc into 1 software where I can start using CUBASE GR8 Video though
Hey Soo I can't find the sample control it doesn't show up where it needs to be shown (I have the right version 10.5 of cubase and I still can't find the sample control) pls someone help meee
Hello. Very clearly explained, thanks! For some reason though, I nothing comes up when I click on loops and samples. I paid for a licence for Cuebase Elements 10.5, but does this not necessarily mean I bought the entire product? Or so I have to activate them somehow. thanks :-)
There's always hitches. "Good to go." - No sound. I hear this RU-vid, but Cubase kick drum is not coming through my headphones. It doesn't come through the external monitor either. It's just not connecting internally from the program. I remember from 25 years ago that the ASIO had to be changed each time from Cubase use to ordinary Internet sound. Found it. Had to enable output 1. There's more than just ASIO.
I got the artist version of Cubase 10.5. It doesn't look like I have any of the samples that you say should come with it. Are they only with the pro version? (Thanks!)
Hey Joshua, I think you should have them. Sometimes the install messes up and it misses some of the extra content. It's quite possible that has happened here. I made a video on it and other problems which you can follow to resolve it, just use the time stamps to navigate. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NUPoeULcELo.html
Should the quantize preset be set to 1/8 for all types of music or is it best set this way for house music? I normally have mine set at 1/16. No particular reason why... that's just where it's always been. Thanks
How is it possible for to make the Keyboard on the bottom tab larger, mine is extremely small making it hard for me to draw in notes. Using cubase 10.5 elements
Hm, In my vst audio setup, I`ve got no drivers at all, None! Why does this happen and how can I possibly fix this? (The sound system I use is a two pair speakers with normal aux into my stationary windows 10 computer)
the drivers refer to hardware drivers. If you don;'t have a hardware soundcard you'll need to install a software soundcard, which should be part of your motherboard software
Hi, can you make a video of how to update Cubase Elements once an update is available e.g. I've Cubase Elements 10.5 and there are 10.5.20 and 10.5.10 updates available, so where to get info, how to chose which one to use and how to update it. Thanks a lot
Hey Jean, it's pretty simple. Always use the newest update, and all you do is download and install it. It will automatically update Cubase, no need to do anything else.
I am looking around to see what’s the best DAW for me as a beginner think I might go Cubase since I wanna record I was gonne get FL studio but everyone says there problem with recording
Hey, Cubase is great for recording, it's just easy to do. All DAW's are pretty capable these days though, just the same way that each DAW has it's own learning curve and quirks. I have used most of the top DAW's at one time or another and I always stick with Cubase as the workflow is (in my opinion) the most streamlined which means I can get more done with fewer clicks. All that being said, once you know your way around any of the top DAW's you can make pro level music, they are all capable of it. Good luck and if you have any more question just let us know :)
Hi, yes it is. We do explain that in the video, but no worries you can still do it by using the Groove Agent sampler which you do have. Jay made a video about using it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FnItXJTv5iI.html
When I install cubase 10.5 the program can not read my SAMSON MIXPAD MXP144FX. What can I do? I think there is an issue but I don't no where. Please help. Device setup>> and add device there is nothing
When I export to MP3 or Wav , I can not play the audio file , I have to exit Cubase and go to the audio setting , disable /enable my audio interface then I will be able to hear the audio file that exported .any idea ?
Re: video time 9:50... 1. My recently loaded Cubase LE 10.5 bottom section doesn't shrink much when I use the cursor to change the size. 2. No keyboard appears at the left side of my bottom window. 3. I don't see the bottom section lines changing when I change the Q settings. 4. My draw tool doesn't create midi bits in the bottom section. There's just a vertical line that moves with the draw tool and seems to create nothing.
1) Just hide the lower zone. 2) You are trying to use an audio track, you need to do this on a 'sampler track' as shown in the video. 3) In the editor you need to select 'grid' and then choose the quantize amount, but this could also be due to the fact you're trying to edit an audio clip not a MIDI clip. 4) Same problem, you're not in a MIDI clip on the sampler track. Just re-watch that bit of the video. Hope that helps :)
Hey. You need to use the 'export' function in the 'file' menu. Solo that tracks you want to render to one track, set the loop region over the area you want to render, then go to 'file', 'export', 'audio mixdown' and in this window choose the name/location etc. You can also choose to import it directly back into the project you are working on in the options of this window. Hope that helps :)
I have a question for Cubase users? I have been using studio one and waisted money on Live. My question to you is why is Cubase nowhere in the conversation as top 5 DAWS to use. When I go to G.C guitar center they mention all daws but Cubase WHY is that!!! From what I saw on you tube it looks pretty solid to me. What caught my attention as well is that you can do video / Tv with it and it flows really well. Can anyone give me some history about this DAW because my genre is going to be sound design, video, music production and lastly film scoring.
hey, very useful and informative video thank you. i have one qustion though: where can i get the ''rising" effects? and how do i put the loop that i have reversed in the track? i tried it once but i got lost
Hey, sorry I must have missed this comment and only just seen it. If it's still any help, you can find loads of really good FX/risers/downfilters etc in the 'Calidoscope' bank in the Cubase libraries. When you reverse something it just does it on the same track, try again and you should see it there :)
Hello I can't export or listen to the audio i recorded UNLESS i click de left mouse button on top of the audio track ( and i have to keep pressing the button ) when i export the audio its just silence ( But the correct time lapse of the audio recorded ) I have already check the audio connections and everything seems in order Any advice??? please
I am following along with this excellent video, but I hit a wall when it was time to draw the midi segment. I have the sample track selected, but when I try to draw between 9 and 10, I get nothing. What am I missing?
As long as you have the 'draw tool' selected, it should just work. You might need to send me a screen shot. you can send it to jon at borntoproduce dot com
