5 Tips For Smooth Vocals | Cubase Secrets with Dom

[@thelightmonkey1970]

Well done Steinberg - making Dom an ambassador is the best thing you ever did. Always top videos.

[@dennisramirez1989]

Agreeeee

[@lyando6363]

Dom seems like such a nice guy. Love listening to him

[@jakedemarsh]

I'm convinced Dom is the Bob Ross of mixing.

[@rayjax6218]

I haven't use Cubace since version 6, I converted to Pro Tools. However I have old project I want to remix from Cubase 6, so I upgraded to version 12. Now I'm having to learn it all over again. Your tutorials are always helpful! Thank you!

[@federz666]

Exact same as me. I last used cubase 5, recently for cubase pro 13. Lots to learn!

[@otterguyty]

We love Dom! Great tutorial.

[@vibrantmistartist9297]

it's so cool to look at the meter when the vocal chain is done, you can actually see that is peaks a tiny bit lower with the plugins then without, but still the preserved loudness is like twice as loud

[@alanyost4061]

really amazing!

[@UJU-IX]

Well explained tutorials

[@bluetv2020]

thank you, Dom explain in plain and understandable way, enjoying Cubase 12.

Thank you very much Dom, a master class for all Cubase students.

[@yehonatanlevy1]

Just getting started with cubase and I find your tutorial video's extremely helpful!!

[@vsakharuk]

Dom! You a best from the best!!!

[@jabulanimahlangu6863]

Thank you very much for doing this video. 100% educational

[@MikeeTeevee]

This is great. One of the main problems I've had is that recording vocals always makes vocalists feel very conscious about their abilities. Of course, if you're an incredible vocalist, that helps, but poorly treated vocals just harm confidence of the performers. The end result is fantastic.

[@dannydimarc7033]

Amazing! Thanks.

[@QFXmusic]

Another great video Dom :-) Always my go to when i need Cubase info... Only been using it since it was pro 24 lol but you have more knowledge then any another channel. :-)

[@vainsacrosanct2014]

[@theeddianproject]

Excellent advice thanks.

[@StarQuest115130]

Thank you Dom..you always help make my tracks sound better!!

[@charliekey2979]

Thank you for sharing your tips, the volume taming in particular seems to be a very easy and efficient way to balance the vocals before heading any processing. Thank you a lot!

[@Bernz66]

Awesome vid Dom! Thanks!

[@SteveHarmony3]

Wow! Such great advice! Thanks so much Dom! I especially like the sibilance trick. I am definitely going to apply these techniques.

[@tweguitartutorials4561]

As always, Quick and to the point, thanks Dom mate.

[@alanyost4061]

Dom what a difference when the plugins are applied. Great tutorial. You can really hear the vocals pop out afterwards. Much appreciated!

[@valimelinte1]

Thanks for the video!!!

Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing.and watching this tutorial.🥳🥳😎😎

[@franknaude707]

Brilliant lesson!!! Thanks

[@michaelmos7497]

🍀 A big compliment, Dom. This is an extremely helpful video, precisely because vocals are so important in a song, but their post-processing is inevitably somewhat neglected in the "amateur camp" for lack of in-depth knowledge. As has always been the case with you, everything has been explained very well here. Also very easy to understand for me, since English is not my native language (by the way). For me this tutorial is a revelation! Thanks very much! 🍀

[@cmichael6243]

dom is THE MAN!

[@rainer866]

Amazing. As always! I learned so much from Dom's videos. I am using Cubase since almost 30 years but never knew what to discover under the surface. Dom is opening doors for me. Thanks!

[@LOOCK_official]

hello. Thanks. Why not to use the same plugins in the channel strip?

[@paulchapman112]

another great tutorial Dom! "And all these things" is going to come out in Italian one day! ha ha. De-esser turned De-eCer by just putting the volume down!

[@mrfleamino9350]

Thank you Dom ,nice track

[@drakevicentelatorre855]

so useful

[@markrabin815]

Drastic improvements ! Worth mention is mic choice that fits vocalists range - condenser mics tend to have more high frequency issues than dynamics - ;)

[@jeremythornton433]

Love these videos. They help a lot but do you ever do any for rock vocals? Ones where the vocalist if really pushing it? I'm using Cubase but not for pop, for hard rock and metal.

[@samblessed9257]

Cool and well explained...I like it

[@HappyMixingStudio]

Vocal Mixing Msterclass , Thank you cubase , Thank you Dom !

Dom This Music Is Awesome

[@ghiverlet]

Hi Dom and thanks for your advice. You have another video that talks about manual de-esser with keyboard shortcuts to execute a macro (cut to delmitors, gain -3...). Is it better to use the brush or to play with the gain? I find that the keyboard shortcut saves time but with the brush you don't cut the containers. So what's your opinion on the question? Thanks a lot, and please don't stop the music !

[@raniazantout]

Wonderful 👍

[@UHRsprung]

thx - great tips

[@verdi260]

Hi Dom have you tried de-ess with Spectral Layers - what is your opinion? Thank's in advance,

[@Emceezesings]

How did u do the manual deassing , did u turn on anything?

[@TomCawoski]

Great tips Dom! Can the volume curves on the clip you are doing be done with a fader instead of the pencil tool with mouse/trackball? Thanks... 😎 🎶

[@ТарасМоложавый-я9у]

Hello)) my name is taras, I'm an arranger from little Belarus, you have very cool videos. I have a question for you, please tell me exactly what numbers you need to set in your native stereo delay, I understand what value you need to set there in delay1, but I can’t understand what value to enter in delay2. BPM96

[@abz4c215]

Thanks for the video, very useful! Is it possible to draw a panorama in the same way as the volume?

[@mixwithmanni799]

Hey Dom, you mentioned that the multiband compressor has auto gain…I didn’t know that. If that was the case wouldn’t there be a button to turn that off?

[@Kayster24]

Got a question. So I have cubase 11 and I'm trying to figure out how to hear myself with like a filter or auto tune thru the headphones while recording?

[@bennya.7155]

Very well done! Dom, which plugins and setup you use especially for the vocals? Which reverb and delay? Is it from Valhalla? Best greetings!

About the vocal curve... I cayn't do this with the pen in Elemts 11...

[@gregmccarty8253]

As always, Dom, excellent tips. How would you about taming the harsh "d's" and "t's"? Pen tool again?

[@mariomaslik]

nice video, i needed that this moment, hey is it Maschine down there on your left hand side? If so, what type?

[@musicgroup2583]

Great

[@19Stride]

Im about to switch from years of using PT to Cubase. I’d like to see how prep. a session from scratch and then mix it :)

[@Cubase]

Hi 19Stride, that's great to hear! We have released two demo projects with Cubase 12 with two video tutorial series showing how to prepare and produce a session in Cubase. You can also download the free 30-day Cubase Pro 12 Trial if you like. Have a look here: www.steinberg.net/cubase/demo-projects/

[@jebb.]

This is the first time I am hearing of the draw tool. It has been there and I didn't bother to learn what it's used for

[@DanielStefanescuStudio]

Hi Dom ! I use Cubase 12 to mix and master almost all my audio projects. Only that I've ran into a little problem. I recorded a Christmas Carol with my fiancee and the problem is that she cannot hit a few notes I mean the right way. So I tryed to fix her problem with VariAudio but still not what I was hopping for. How can I fix this and make her sound more natural without sounding robotic?

[@MartinStephensUK]

Hey dom...do a video on connecting a fantom to cubase......loads peeps confused

[@arendafranken1426]

Is this volume curve creation only possible in Cubase Pro? When I try this in an audio track with the draw tool it creates a new event. I don`t get the dots to adjust volume. I have Cubase LE AI Elements 12.

[@projetnoon]

Merci !!!

HI Dom, can I get your color pallete, you have really nice tones!

[@robduff]

Hey Dom, is it at all possible to play a project in Cubase and sing along with fx in the mic and all the sound coming out of my studio monitors. This is a no brainer in cakewalk, simple to set up, but I'm going round in circles, driving me mad trying to achieve this in Cubase. I don't think Cubase can do this. Can you help?

[@PRECIOUSLACKSON-gp4zv]

How to do peech collection in cubase 12 pro?

[@Dyonysus777]

Hi thanks for that. But is this for Cubase ai 11 as well or only Pro (I only got to the first secret)? I cannot find the shown tool to change the volume (Input gain). I only draw in the corners of some track section to fade out, or cut (scissors) a section in a track and then alter the volume for all that section (by drawing the small square up or down). SO is that how I am supposed to do it with Cubase AI 11. Another question. I have set my input gain on a yamaha DGX 670 to 98 (out of 100 with Samson Q2U =dynamic mic) by checking that it does not come into the red field on the gain lever (in the piano's display). So if it distorts here, not much to do to recover it in Cubase right. But should I really lower the MIC Input in Cubase to between -10 and -20 DB, and do the numbers in the Mix console levers indicate DB? I think -20 is awfully low. I read it online. It does not seem to distort at 0 or more in CUbase (db or whatever). So if not turning red then isn't it better to wait with turning it down at the Master level (Stereo Out bus) and avoid it becoming red at that level which is where the backing track and vocals are mixed? Txs

[@BehzadBehrouzi]

Hi, Could you please help me with the compatibility of Digidesign 003 rack and Cubase 12.0.30? Apparently everything is set but when I play a track in a project the sound is kind of doubled and when I change the amount of buffer size this noise a little changes as well. I found that it could be because of the version of the driver but it’s up to date to the latest version available on Avid website. However, my 003 rack interface is working smoothly with Avid Protools Ver. 12.5 I would really appreciate your attention in advance.

[@marcel_max]

does anyone know what brand and model that trackball is?

[@rainer866]

He made a separate video about it. You will find it. If I remember right it is a Kensington

[@nativehiphopsbest3679]

does this vocal have those peaks because they never used any compressors to track the vocals ?

[@Am6-9]

@Steinberg - the clip volume envelope could be a great thing, if it had better usability. As it is of now, it is horrible to use, the little dots are way too small and you always keep missing them when you want to correct them and instead add a new handle which you don’t want. And for de-essijg, like Dom shows here, it is very cumbersome, instead of using the select tool to select the region and drag a handle down (like in automation), you have to insert two points and drag them individually to the right level. PITA!! Pleasepleaseprettyplease make it work like normal automation curves, with all the tools you can use for that (pencil, selection etc). And let us increase the level, too.

[@dmues5s]

Fully agree! Plus: where does this curve start and end, and at what level? If you look closely you will see the curve ramp on and off slightly at the beginning and end of the event. But this is not a fixed point. If you grab the first dot and move it, the curve apparently starts at some virtual point well ahead of the event's starting point. Same at the end. As nice as I thought this tool was in Cubase 4.5, I stopped using it because I never knew exactly what I was doing with it. And just judging the levels by eyes instead of ears - well, no.

[@calasound]

Nice tips but at no time do you say where you bought your T-shirt !

[@christophschallert6638]

haha his stemps are colored like his tshirt and his rooom , like it :D

[@soundtovtov8870]

Great tips, but cant avoid critics about some not updated tools cubase has from the 90's, like the pencil tool ,look at other DAW's they got sophisticated automation on clip/event not a limited pencil. hopefully version 12 will up the game 🤐

[@mikhailfrolov5438]

Cubase is such a disappointment lately because of the reliability issues. I hope Cubase 12 will be a breakthrough, otherwise I will move to Logic Pro.

[@kye903]

What reliability issues..? I'm running it on Windows 8 without a single issue.

[@mikhailfrolov5438]

@@kye903 Well, you are one lucky guy! I am using Windows 10 and the Cubase tends to crash especially when closing application after a long session. I had the same issues on my previous PC. I bought the brand new one with lates intel Core i7 because I thought that the problem was with my PC. However, even with a new computer, I still have the same issues. I love Cubase, I am using it for 5 years and keep buying new updates every year, but it is just dissapointing, because I dont have confidence in its perfomance. A few of my friends have similar issues.

@@mikhailfrolov5438 thats classic on cubase last few years, I hope they solve this

I had dropouts in older projects after having upgraded to Cubase 11 Pro on WIN10 on a 10 years old computer with an i5. But these are gone since I doubled the RAM to 16GB.
