TRANSPOSE your MUSIC with the PROJECT ROOT KEY | CUBASE TIPS
Did you know that there are several tools in Cubase to help you transpose the key of a full song quickly and easily?
Today, we’re taking a close look at the Project Root Key feature to show you just how fast you can adjust the key of a song. (Available on Cubase Artists and Pro)
This is a feature that we didn’t look at in one of my other videos on this topic, so be sure to check that one out as well if you haven’t.
Between these two videos, you’ll know everything you need to fix the key of your song without wasting unnecessary time and mental energy!

Salim, one thing that makes your videos stand out is that you zoom into the portion of the interface you're dealing with. I don't watch certain videos of other channels because they lazingly don't do this. Sometimes, I watch your videos while I'm on a queue for something at a shop etc and this is done on the phone, which means small screen. Keep this aspect of your videos.

Many thanks for that and the other tons of information contained in your videos, cause it goes way beyond just cubase, but music production in general.

Thanks for the info! When you transpose with the Root Key, is there a way to have the notes and chord events to update and show the transposed notes and chords? In video example, even when you transpose to D, the chord track still shows the chords in the original key.

Great tutorial! One thing to keep in mind. This will not work on non-pitch midi events. For example, if C0 is provide vibrato or something else this will break your track. So with midi tracks only you this on pitch midi events.

@mozizo11 3 года назад

great info... just to add to this ,its possible to add "transpose track" and change keys during the song if needed (by draw an event on the transpose track and cut it where need to change key, change the values on the info bar on the top)

@MyChris62 3 года назад

Hi Chris I would like to know if we can create our own midi loops to follow the chord track.I cannot get my midi loop export option to highlight.Thanks

@timjonesguitar 3 года назад

Did know I had that option, thanks as always. If you had a recorded Acoustic guitar track, for example, does that pitch change degrade the sound? ALso I know in the days of tape, they often recorded parts at 1/2 speed and octave down,and sped it up to full speed. Is there a way to do something similar in Cubase that doesn't degrade the sound quality?

@mixdownonline 3 года назад

Like I showed in the video, you need to choose the right algorithm fro audio to keep the best quality :-)

@darrenbrook4641 2 года назад

How does root key work with major and minor and the chord track? The chord track seemed to suggest Em was the first chord in the video, but you selected project root key of E. Wouldn't that mean that initial chord would be E major?

@micwarren21 8 месяцев назад

I like to transpose the chord track so it reflects the new key. Also, after established, I go to the mini menu to transpose the selected mid notes to represent the correct notes for the new key. Otherwise it becomes confusing for me to see the wrong midi notes, for the pitches being played.

@murraywebster1228 2 года назад

If the drums are tuned to a specific key then why not change them too? Konferenz had a session where we tried two different drummers, the second asked which key the song was in and he tuned the kit accordingly, the difference was astounding, the drums glued right into the song, it was a real eye, or ear, opener for me, that was more than thirty years ago and I never forgot it and where possible I try to get the drummer to tune to the key and if not I’ll repitch the drums to fit 💪

Hello Chris, Tech/Nerd question for you. Some VST soft always export tracks in Stereo but a lot of time the source Left and Right are exactly the same so without stereo information it`s in reality just a Mono track but just a little louder (Please correct me if I`m wrong) So what you be the advantage to keep this track as it is VS Converting it with Multi Chanel to Mono fonction in Cubase then deleting the extra tracks. I`m a Grumpy Old Sound Man and it freak me out when I see a Bass/Kick in stereo. Thanks for your time Stay Safe and Have a Great Weekend

@mixdownonline 3 года назад

You're right and that freaks me out as well. There's no advantages to keep a kick drum in Stereo unless the kick sound has a room effect within the VSTi. I tend to convert those audio to MONO before mixing.

@Asohimusic 3 года назад

Chris thanks a lotttttttt for keep inspiring the artists like me all over the world. I need your help very badly for one issue, which is how to hear the sound of midi from my external midi instrument which is Roland TB 03. I installed this synthesizer in Cubase Pro 11 and all settings are applied, its working well, like I can record midi and I can see the fader jumping, I can see the recorded midi notes but I dont hear any sound coming out of my recorded track. I tried all the ways of routings but no help. I called Steinberg tech support and they did the remote session but they also couldnt find the way to make it work, except adding the Roland TB 03 in the device input instead of my input of interface channel and I can only do one at a time and every time I have to keep changing the signals. I could not add TB 03 as an external instrument in Cubase audio connections section because the list Cubase have for external devices, it doesnt have TB 03 on that list. I googled it but did not find the best solution, BUT I found one person on google and he said " I dont know what I just did but I made TB 03 working perfectly fine in Cubase". So Chris you are the master of Cubase and I know you must have the right answer, how I can make TB 03 works in Cubase? If that person on google can make it work, so cant I. I will really really appreciate if you can help in this. Blessings!!!!

Hi. yes you can add a "transpose track "Draw and event on that track and change keys by semi tons up or down (you need to cut the event on the transpose track and change then change values)

@ross9868 3 года назад

in the old days, when a singer couldn't reach a note we would vca the tape machine down or up a bit. A super quick fix. I wish there was such an option in the digital world.

@mixdownonline 3 года назад

There's more than such an option in the digital world. Variaudio in Cubase and Melodyne to name a few will manually pitch correct the way you want

@ruudjansen2412 3 года назад

hello Chris, great tutorial, as usual; I have one question: what is the maximum of steps you think you can make in raising or lowerin the key?,...because it has also impact on stems and sounds that you use in your production. Most of them are only good within a certain area. Thanks for all the good work you do on your YT Channel!

@tamadrummer1086 3 года назад

Great video! Question: Do you have a video or can you make a video on how you can force Variaudio to snap a vocal track to the key of a song? I feel like this should be possible, but I can't find any info on it. I like to highlight everything and just move the "Quantize Pitch" slider to autotune the vocals (lazy, I know). Sometimes notes don't fall onto the right note and then I have to go through and manually adjust, which is a time suck. Let me know! Thanks! Cubase forever!

@mixdownonline 3 года назад

For Variaudio, that's the way to do it. Patience leads to great results ;-)

@maticca 2 года назад

Is there an efficient way (C12 Pro) to also get the Chord Track to update, based on the Global Transpose?

@DarMcWheeler 3 года назад

Chris, as a professional composer and arranger, I find this confusing. Em is not E it's G.

@mixdownonline 3 года назад

Yes, correct Em is G. If your music theory is top shape, that can be confusing. This feature only transposes from one key to another by keeping the tonal model in place. So for me, if I'm in Em, I'm keep the Project Root Key at E. If I'm in D Dorian, I keep it at D. Just easier for my brain ;) But it doesn't matter much, The Project Root Key is just a feature where you establish a reference point to transpose your music.

@johnnynarcotics7299 3 года назад

@pnartg 2 года назад

This is a very limited definition of "transpose". All you're doing is making a fixed change in pitch up or down by a fixed number of semitones. In music it's often useful to transpose between keys but the "root key" in Cubase literally means "piano key" note, not 'key' as in key-signature. The clue is that there is no way to specify MAJOR or MINOR. So how would you go from, say C-Major to B-minor? You can't do that by just going up or down by a fixed number of semitones because your chords won't be diatonic for their scale degree.
