I bought a YC-73 which is hood but, all these advanced features but no proper envelope generator....one knob eg doesn't count 😕

Loved your video. Great review of the YC. At a gig I had a synth fry due to power problems. Ever since I use an APC 700 UPS - they even guarantee against lightning strikes! Also I always use isolator or DI boxes even though my synths have balanced outs.

Hey Steve, 2 Questions: what’s your opinion to the CK88 by Yamaha (a.o. interesting because of the weight). And what do you think about the quality of the Yamaha YC73 keybed?

great advice and I have subscribed.

hi! Excellent reivition and comparison!! I had a doubt, the Mackie can record audio at 192 Khz. What is the sample rate of the Notepad 8FX to the DAW? I haven't found that information anywhere.

I love my YC88. I agree with everything you said. I would add for my wish list to have more live set pages. I don't like to change the defaults too much so I can always go back to them and dial them in different ways. Playing in a cover band that covers a lot of eras, I have lots of sounds to create.

Not a better channel out there. Your channel has been a life saver for the last 2 years. I think we got our boards around the same time. It's been awesome to be walking through the exciting new changes at the same time and see someone who likes this board as much as I do

I have two FW audio interfaces. I am really pissed off 😡

Excite to continue this video, but you might have to check that audio on your voice

I have the CP88 and YC61 combo and love these boards! I regularly get musicians and sound engineers comment on how great they sound! Whilst I agree it would be nice to be able to download additional sounds, I personally haven't needed to so far as the built in sounds have covered every situation I've used them. If there ever was a specific sound I am missing I would use on of the apps on my iPhone such as Korg Module and I would be good to go! There are a few things I would love to see in an updated version :- 1/ Proper true sympathetic string resonance and mechanical noises for the pianos and e.pianos 2/ All 4 Clavinet pickup patterns 3/ Extra Polyphony when using multiple layers 4/ More Livesets storage banks 5/ To have an option be able to route the audio inputs to the headphone output only. This would be extremely useful when using IEM's as you could connect your monitor mix from the board and plug it into the audio inputs and then send it to the headphone output. This would mean you wouldn't need to use an external IEM amp pack. It would also be useful for when you want to plugin a click track into the keyboard and just hear it through the headphone output of your board. 6/ Add aftertouch 7/ Add a built in metronome 8/ Update the YC61 keybed so that it doesn't make clacky noises Saying that, the YC and CP are my favorite boards that I've played. The sound are great, the effects are as good as I've heard in any board, the built quality is solid whilst being lighter than other competing brands. I also really love the layout, workflow and tactile knobs and switches! They are the most intuitive I've played and I tweak in realtime much quicker and easier than any board I've played. Having a built in audio interface is the icing on the cake. I have used this for some session work including BBC Radio 4 in the UK. I had my CP88 plugged into my iPhone and recorded directly into Cubasis and then emailed to take to the producer. It was so easy and quick to do this and the producer was amazed at the audio quality. If Yamaha updated these boards the suggestions I mentioned above, they would be my dream boards!

I'm so glad you created these long-term reviews. Really, there is no better review. The YC88 is simply phenomenal. I love mine, and I baby it 😅

Appreciate the long term opinions. Particularly build quality. I'm sure I saw a thread on the yc61 keys going bad quite quickly. (Audio quality on your voice isn't quite right here?)

Wow! Brilliant video...Thank you, I've learned so much..

🙏🏼

I have been going through this Playlist and I have to say I love how you presented everything. I have learned a lot from you. Trying to get started in Cubase.

Pretty impressive!!

Yeah and no more beat calculator. Threw it out for tap tempo 😂

Hello Sir I had a doubt related to the midi workflow in Cubase 13. Every time I try to copy a part of the midi clip using the range selection tool or manually shorten it (dragging from the bottom left) I can see all the extra midi information that fall outside the region boundary. Is there a way to hide this extra information as it just clutters up the screen when I'm doing multi part editing. The only fix for this so far is to duplicate the midi event and split it using the scissor tool. That is completely counter intuitive and is an extra step with the range selection tool available. I might be missing something in the settings. Please let me know if there's a way to fix this. I've used Logic Pro and Ableton Live for the most part. Has it always been this way in Cubase?

Thanks…👍🏾

At church…we are for some Reason having a hard time getting enough signal from the bass guitar into the livestream. We use di boxes too. For some reason, all the keyboards come thru the live well but for the bass. We just not getting enough signal and the bass is super low in the live. Wondering if this will solve it? Help….Also do u have to keep changing the batteries or?

I really like this Yamaha YC Series. I would definately recommend this to anyone who wants to play in a band !....

If this thing only had a 3-band EQ it would be a winner!

jeez slow down dude

Great vid! Thx. Is this better than the Maschine mk 3? Can we load Maschine2 into Nektarine? Thinking of upgrading my NI mikro mk3.

Thanks a lot for the tips ¡ BTW, the song is fantastic ¡ Any data about singer and lyrics? Is it published ?

Thank you for introducing

So It Would Not Work With Auto Tune Pitch Correction Plugin ? Thanks And One More Question What If You Audio Interface Does NOT Have a Direct Monitoring Button And The Direct Monitoring Button Is Grayed Out ? I Have Been Trying To Figuer This Out Foreve

Hello Steve, Trying out my new YC-88/61 setup. Love the keyboard and thanks to you I am learning how to navigate an already great live keyboard. When my house gig resumes in 2 weeks I am ready to take the new duo out to the gig. Presently I am using a Nord Stage 4 88 and a Nord Stage 3 73 Compact for my upper keyboard. I was a big Yamaha user for many years from all the motifs to the stage pianos. I got spoiled by the Nords over the last 8 years but it was your PodCast that told me to gig the YC a try. I did find out one real important thing. Going out of the XLR's verses the ¼" outputs is huge. I could not believe the difference. Fortunately my Ashley 308B line mixer has channels one and two switchable between ¼" or XLR. Then I run that signal through a Focusrite ISA 2 preamp and into a DBX intelligent EQ, and finally to a Warm Audio Bus Summing unit. I then run out of the bus Summing via XLR into a Presonus Temblor Sub and up to my Space Station. It's quite a setup and is actually a small set up that's very portable. I can see by your videos you are a very talented player with nice chops. I would love to catch up to you at a gig. Let me know where your band is playing. I'm in North Carolina but would make a trip out to meet in person. Thank you so much for being a great teacher and keep up the good work. Rocky

Cubase Chord Pads ended up dismally disppointing me becuz for YEARSSS the software FORCES us to use chord VOICINGS of its own. It was so frustrating to have a software dictate to me which voicings I am FORCED to use to play the Eb Major chord. I could Not even REDUCE the notes in the chord or do ANYTHING i really wanted with Cubase' forced-voicings 🙄😒🤕🤕 after 3 years i finally had to give up using chord pads and go to Scaler (yeah . . . THIRD-party plugin JUST to be able to play my preferred VOICING of the Eb Major chord 🤕🙄🙄). Scaler also showed me some flames due to . . . you're Not gonna believe this: It cannot transpose MULTIPLE chords stored on its Chord Pads. You must transpose the chords ONE by ONE . . . the most MUNDANE and easy operation (transposing notes/chords) . . . is STILL Not possible in Scaler in June 2024 😁😂😂.

Thank you for this indepth review. Super helpful! Maybe I missed it, but I'm struggling to save my volume controller setting globally. Is it only possible to save at the patch level? I'd like to set my voume/expression pedal (via the Controller 2 port) to always control All Volumes - that way I can swell organ, or boost volume for solos on any sound on any patch. However, I'm struggling to find out how to save it that way. I can select that option on one patch and save the patch that way, but I can't figure out how to save this setting as a global setting. Do you know if that's possible, and if so how to do it? Thank oyu so much for reading this lengthy comment ... :). Again, GREAT job on a super helpful video!

GREAT video!!!

I think the lesson here is that unless you are a professional or want to take the risk of keeping up with the obligatory hectic pace of these vids, not to go anywhere near templates as they seem user unfriendly - using them can lead to disaster with many ways to go wrong in a maze of minutiae. As the same organising structures are used throughout the Cubase program, I suggest users like me (I don't use audio tracks btw) default to minimal, or no involvement with the project options that Cubase offers.

great tutorial!!

how did you end the tempo detection session? ie. which button did you press? :)

do you have keyboard command shortcut like "b" for example that bounces the audio or renders in place? (rare bounce and render in place the same thing?) and ifso which one and what do you assign it to and where in the key commands assign window? thanks in advance, joey :)

I had my phone connected to play music to channel 5/6 via mini jack cable ( throgh phone's headphone jack ). Cannot hear or control volume while using headphones but it works when I connect speakers though the output, is that normal? Used without USB cable plugged in. By the way, thank you for the in depth review of the mixer, answered so many questions. 😊

Excellent video. Would have been good to have a Master Plan v Ozone comparison at the end.

I just want to say Thank you! I just found this. Great work.

Thank you

Thank you so much! So clear straight to the point, I understand much more than ever. For a real word hands on approach this is great! better than anything else I have seen anywhere, much appreciation for your effort, great stuff. Thanks again Michael Melbourne Australia

I am just days from upgrading from a mac mini 2018 with i3 intel cpu to a mac studio m2 max. I am hoping it will beat the mac mini m2 pro in every regard. I am not looking to do video straight away, but I don't want to get caught out when I get to that stage.

You are a lifesaver!! GREAT videos!!

Love this! 😎👍 I've been using the Sub Master idea for a few years now. This idea has enhanced and increased my workflow. Brilliant!

You absolutely deserve a greater sub count, I find your videos to be my go to cubase tutorials. Thank You for your work

Is it possible to export multiply tracks with different length, without adjusting markers for each one?

I love Cubase and it's currently my DAW of choice. However, when it comes to tempo detection and tempo matching, other DAWs like FL Studio make it much simpler and faster to undertake. 2 to 3 clicks and you are done. Save for this in my view, Cubase is the best.

Great info and what a difference! night and day in my opinion. For those of us that don't have a tape machine, is there an online mastering service that we can send our mix or stems to that can perform this? Thanks

Top Class!

very helpful man thanks
