Dom is my go-to Cubase resource, but Cubase just happens to be his weapon of choice. His knowledge and sharing/teaching is fantastic and extends well beyond the DAW. +1 shout out of appreciation. Thanks Dom.
Thanks SO much Dom! Extremely useful info with an added bonus of not making me feel guilty for buying (a few 🤫!) different reverb plugins! Once again - love your videos - appreciate them and all your efforts very much! 👍
I love all of your videos and you definitely give a lot of knowledge. But I and I'm sure everyone else would love if you made a SCHOOL like an online course on skills and knowledge of becoming a producer. I will DEFINITELY sign up!
Good stuff. Please make a followup with in-the-mix examples. Perhaps for ballads, rock, and metal. Just some examples of tweaking and making a vocal fit into the mix.
Everything sounds great in solo. Real pros hardly ever use reverb. They make their own ambiance with delay, feedback, distortion and EQ. Also compression used correctly can lengthen the natural decay of a room
Fantastic and energetic summary or reverb concepts. Thanks for caring about music production so passionately on behalf of those of us who are learning. One Question: Can you discuss pros/cons of applying individual reverb settings to each track as opposed to adding an overall reverb for the entire mix? better to choose between, do both, only on the master out?
Thank you, Dom for making informaive, interesting and instructive videos for Cubase/studio recordists. Two things that might make the videos easier to enjoy and employ: 1. When demonstrating DIFFERENCES and distictions between settings, use /the exact same audio segment\ so the distiction isn't lost by changes in phrasing, tonality, and volume [SPECIFIC 1: In this video - the second line in the female vocal comes in .on top of. the reverb making it difficult to hear the distinction it seems is being illustrated (diffusion and tonality)] [SPECIFIC 2: while the overall video playback speed can be changed by the viewer - if the narration track is edited to remove little gaps (to shorten video?) it creates a subtle anxiety of not having time to process the info before the next point is presented. 2. To help viewers watch the subject - remove visual distractions in the talking segments. [Do the changing lights and the little screen behind the presenter /add\ to the content? If not, they pull the user out of the experience when they shift.] Thanks again for all the good work you do.
Nice guide, and it's clear that you don't have to get the most amazing reverb - stock plugins do the trick. Having said that, here are my recently-used reverbs: - Crystalline: has a great ducker facility and intuitive controls - Neoverb: allows surgical EQ on the reverb - Raum: huge but clear reverb effects - Spaced Out: simple reverb but coupled with a delay for some interesting effects - Pigments: Ok, it's a synth! But it has some very interesting delay/reverb combos (pitch shift, shimmer etc) that can easily be dialled in as part of your sound design
I love Raum so much, got different reverbs but usually my choice always ends up around either raum or Arturia’s rev140 plate Was thinking to get neoverb at a certain point but for now I’ll leave it out
Awesome video Dom! Could you explain guidelines on how to mix different reverbs in a mix? Should one be in the upper mids and the other in the lowest mids? Or are different pre delays the most important for this?
after it depend on the algo too, the sp2016 it's one of the rare i sometime prefer the room than plate even for a 2s reverb, but it's taste. i personally try to reduce the number of reverb in my tool. cos the risk is to use to many differents reverb in the mix and lost a coherence. And take time to learn each, love the glow cos it permits most if reverb type, the pulse and eventide sp2016 great sound and very fast to set up, cos spend 5min to set up a reverb it's not good cos we lost what we looking for and sometimes we fight and nano details.
Everyone here on RU-vid only sells speakers, microphones and plugins. Logical with affiliate links and commission! It's all about money here. From time to time I follow "Make Pop Music" where music is produced and mixed. The others only sell you products 👍 A documentary will be out soon anyway, and then you will see whether there are small gifts from the companies on top of the commissions 👍 But I found the video informative. Well, maybe the viewer just wants me like this pointless sales show. 1000 more plugins! Then Billie Eiliish comes along and shoots a #1 hit in the bedroom with Stock Plugins! Well, you can have 1000 guitars, just no use if they can't play? But this Video from you was good. I could learn somethis 👍
I mostly use Cubase 12 stock reverb, revelation and it is great, no need to spend money. :) if you want some characteristic reverb, to do something specific and stand out a bit than spend some time and money to get what you need. Revelation will do great to make things sit in the mix, give room sound as well as make things a bit bigger.
I always watch your videos dom. Ive been using cubase 12 AI.. so im very limited. I would like it very much if you could do a video on what comes in the AI version. I cant afford pro just yet but i will definitely be buying it. Id buy it just for the basic channel strip. In AI the channel strip only has a compressor and EQ built in. Plus the four insert slots... since being so limited ive had to learn every control a bit better. I use the plugin that just says dynamics because i think thats cool and easy to use and understand. Luckily i brought a ur44c so i got the morthing channel strip plugin that was free with my ur44c. That is amazing.. i dont play a instrument at all and just program every in midi and use one shot samples for my drums.. dom is it possible to create a song with what i have from idea to master at a pro level.. id really like to know how to turn the insert slots from saying pre to post. As i think the channel strip compression and eq comes after the insert. Is it possible to change it to post sometimes as i see in the pro version of cubase. Please do a video on AI dom i bet there are loads of people watching who need this kind of thing. Im just a beginner bedroom studio owner so like most beat makers just starting out with AI we need more videos on things that come with cheaper versions.... thanks for everything you are doing for people finding it a struggle the first few years plus all the pro tips..
Thx again for this helpful video, did you now fully switch to your macbook pro m? .. i find it easy to build a good desktop pc but very difficult to choose a good laptop for cubase (especially a good windows laptop =>the power drop when you unplug the laptop, the fan noise. But on "paper" the new ones seems more powerful than the macbook pro so i m really confused) if you have any good advice about that. Thx again
I have switched to my MacBook Pro M1 Max after testing several things and realising it gives me 70% more performance boost than my PC. I still have my PC and will still be using PCs. But these MacBooks are phenomenal. The best laptop I’ve ever had. Stays cool, have never heard the fan come on. Eyeing the Mac Studio at the moment… :)
@@DomSigalas Any crashes on Mac (native mode) that you otherwise had not been experiencing on windows? Awesome video btw, your educational content is above and beyond!
Hello Dom… awesome channel BTW. I have a question. My studio got hit by lightning and I have to replace all my gear. I’ve been thinking about going with the Mac Studio I’m a long time pc user! I have many ua plugs waves, PA, slate drums, NI, what do you think?
Love u sir sir don't stop making cubase tutorials in next and you are very good teacher i learned a lot from you i am from india the state in india is punjab state i follow you i run cubase 12 so i have one request from you that you make cubase tracks as short as possible thank you sir
When you said program reverb, I thought you meant actually code a reverb plugin from scratch. I was thoroughly saddened when this was just a reverb plugin settings video 😢
Ciao i would like to see (with ur explainations) ur building on pop ( no rap trap etc ) a mix and eventually also its mastering BUT just with cubase stock plugings i mean from begin to the end of job ... just for donky boy as me :)
That Pantheon was my first reverb sound experience and was mad when it didn’t come with Cubase Pro 5 and never felt the same with reverbs, but now I got the Lexicon ones from Lexicon and I think that did it!
