6 Digital Audio Tricks You MUST Know

[@awpMusic1]

I've been using Cubase for more than 30 years - and you're still showing me stuff I haven't seen before! Great video - fantastic Cubase!

[@PaulieDC]

Exactly! In fact, there would be a great new Thinkspace course, in depth MIDI Orchestration, all things Cubase.

[@H2whoaMusic]

Every single time I watch your videos I get so excited about new things to try!

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Great! My work is done

Hi Guy. One of the things that got me interested in music editing was a small item by Gerry Anderson (of Thunderbirds fame) in the TV21 comic, late 1960s - I'd be 11 or 12. He described your reverse/forward piano technique but using tape editing. I never dared try it on my Dad's reel-to-reel, but I stored it up and played with the idea when I got access to digital editing on my Amiga 30 years later. What fun!

[@sprkymrt]

Thanks Guy! This was fun! Watch - take notes - review - experiment and go on and have fun.Seems complicated at first, but not any different than spending time practicing scales. Once you've learned them there is nothing to fear.

[@audios22]

You have inspired me.... AGAIN

[@ashkeachum]

Guy, you're the man!! I've been on Cubase for 2 years now and it's the first time I've learned about its pitch correction envelope. My workaround was to create a sampler track with my desired audio clip and automate the pitch from there. Glad to know that I could actually eliminate a few more steps in my workflow using Direct Offline Processing. Will try this trick out!!

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Get your stuff sorted in a script and then stick a key switch on it - hey presto

[@grahamwitcher105]

That was great fun Guy. I really must check out that Sampler Track!

[@rodcoombes8711]

guy,you are such fun to watch, and hugely educational.

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

:)

[@orderd29]

Wonderful video. We must not forget to have fun making music.

[@Byron101_]

Cubase is absolutely a great (the greatest ^^) DAW for Sounddesign! all tools are included plus professional onboard effects and VSTis. Direct Offline Processing and the SamplerTrack are real weapons for firing off a sample and do sounddesign in a very quick way. Tip: shortcuts and macros for this tasks.

[@in2gadgets]

Great video, thanks, Guy!!

[@guysnape]

Fantastic and very inspiring video, thank you so much - can't wait to have a play with some of these ideas.

[@joegrint6280]

Good to see you again - it seems like it has been a while!

[@alfredog2921]

Wonderful!. Thank you very much, you are the number one👍.

[@hazmatproduction4562]

Nice tips Guy! I’ve been messing around in Bitwig lately and love how it handles bouncing and being able to use midi & audio on one track. I just drag any midi clip I want to bounce to the clip launcher in case I need it later and bounce audio over the midi. Love how clean you can keep things in Bitwig

[@els1f]

Bitwig is amazing! That's definitely the present/future of DAWS to me. If you think in bitwig for a while, every other daw seems so slow comparatively😋 at least on the creative and sound design side. Cubase makes pro level mixing, mastering, post production stuff really smooth though. It's all personal preference though I suppose🤷‍♂️✌️

[@thedevilsadvocate5210]

How did you get going with the basic stuff. It appears difficult to get the thing going. Is there a bitwig primer you read ? The window layout makes no sense in bitwig

[@hazmatproduction4562]

@@thedevilsadvocate5210 I come from a more synthesis oriented background so the modular workflow of Bitwig is quite familiar to me from using VSTs like phaseplant & zebra. It’s much closer to Ableton workflow than cubase. I have very little Ableton experience though. Cubase does a lot of stuff better, but Bitwig gives me much more freedom to experiment when it comes to modulating complex chains of instruments & FX as if they were one synth. I prefer cubase for mixing, drum slicing & working with audio. The drum slicing is easily solved by using Groove Agent 5 in VST & slicing breaks in there like I used to in cubase. My aim is to get to a point where I can do all of the initial creative process of track production & all my sound design sessions in Bitwig, then export stems to cubase for mixdown & adding a few more bells & whistles and can also add any vocal samples at that point where I can use variaudio or melodyne in ARA2. I’m only about 3 months into learning Bitwig and feel as comfortable in it now as I did in cubase after years with it. It’s really very intuitive for my kind of production, where I’m generally creating my basses from scratch using subtractive or FM synths and loads of 3rd party FX. A lot of the time using synths I’ll wish I had an extra envelope or LFO, or wish I could use a better filter but still modulate it with the same LFOs as the oscillators. Bitwig makes this incredibly easy, where in cubase you have to be flicking between different plugin UIs & learning each one’s unique modulation system, or cluttering up projects with midi tracks for routing if you want to use external modulators like LFOtool. In Bitwig I rarely use any of my synths for anything but their oscillators, because I can sub out the synth’s native FX for better distortion, chorus, filter & time based FX than the ones built into the synth. Plus unlimited modulation sources means I can completely break the limitations of any soft synth built to emulate classic analog gear, with limited oscillators, envelopes & some may not even have LFOs or audio rate modulation capability. None of that matters in Bitwig. Anything goes when it comes to modular flexibility.

Hi Guy ,keep up Very good Tutorial .Well done.

"Here is Damage 2, which is an epic, great, tum... Armageddony-type soundy thing". 🤣 Why Guy doesn't have a million subscribers is beyond my understanding. In fact, skip to 1:42. This is why we all love this channel. ZERO arrogance! 👍🏼

[@timsamsung3736]

Great great tips 👍☺️👍

[@LindaMissad]

These are great fun! Thanks for explaining and sharing them, Guy. Ha HA, never thought of using the sampler track to play a series of hard chords.... Take care

[@PrinceWesterburg]

You need a brown hoodie then you can be a Jedi ;) BTW I recommended yo use a Rode NTG-2, which you did, but you should put it above your screen or over your head pointing down like a location filming mic, that way no mic in shot, no lav mic setup and battery charging to remember!

[@milenadeltorto7158]

that was awesome, mesmerizing & thanks.

[@GaryClutterbuck]

Hi Guy Can you please demonstrate the reverse reverb effect on a vocal. I've never been able to do it convincingly to get that 'rushing' sound at the start of a vocal line.

[@paulEmotionalaudio]

Love it! I use the reverse and then reverse reverb all the time for solo intros and panning weirdness… thanks for the tips!

[@T4llJak3]

thanks,now i know what that Sound at the beginning of roundabout is

[@187lockedown]

Excellent. Very common techniques, used in the most creative and logical ways. Thank you!

[@flipperpitstudio]

@17:55 Before you moved on, I would love to have heard a tempo increase on that one! lol Very cool sound. (I'll try it and get back to you. 🤣👍)

[@StutzVanH]

Hello Guy, very fascinating video as always! Bit off topic but what are your thoughts on 8DIO Adagietto these days? I seem to remember an old old video (possibly from the DP days) where you showed the usefulness of the dynamic bowing ensembles in particular. Is the library still worth it in 2022 or are there better alternatives? Thanks

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Absolutely and it’s ridiculously cheap for what you get. I have it in my template

[@Monica-belle]

Good evening, is there a method please to separate general listening "stereo out" and listening to the media bay? in other words I want to route the sound of the media bay separately in another audio track? I heard that it is feasible from the "control room" but it seems very complicated for a beginner A video explaining the procedure would be great

[@jingleskhanaudioproductions]

Guy has a new mic - I heard the difference instantly

So many different stutter / trance-gate plugins, and I've found a lot of it is quite possible with the tools built into ableton, either by the sample slicer, or by sidechaining a gate using a trigger track.

[@vikkiflawith]

Fantastic video, oh Bearded One :D You remind me how fun it can be to play with sounds, which is what has always intrigued me about being a composer. Definitely going to play around and post the results. Thanks for the inspiration! You are truly a Wizard :D

[@nickellis9251]

Hi Guy, love your videos. Do you ever mention Cakewalk by Bandlab?

[@worldflutes]

Fun video, Guy! With regard to tip#5 (FX patches), in post-production, I'll do something similar using automation curves on several effects inserted into just the one track. But I think in certain sound design applications, your method is more effective.. and a bit faster

[@Byron101_]

@Guy Michelmore : ...here´s a "top secret" tip: you can directly drag ´n drop a Midi-Event onto Sampler Track Control (Upper Zone) - it renders automatically... ❤

[@guysmiley7289]

All of these sampler tricks can be done in hardware too. The MPC can do most of it. I have a Rossum assimil8or too that will do all of it but those are expensive these days.

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Yes you can if that's your workflow - go for it

Is it possible to request a video on a Rubato piece in midi? I captured a nice sounding 12 bar piece at 120 bpm but its a slow orchestral type interlude. I want to do accompaniment tracks but at 120 that won't work. How to time map such a track in Cubase and make it workable for other tracks? BTW. LOVE Everything you do. I am a 69 YO Noob and you are a constant resource and smile to my journey to learn music. Thanks Guy!!

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Its a nightmare. There are ways and tap tempo and pulling beats around in the editor but none of them are straightforward. Its easier to start with straight in time midi then change the tempo to give you that rubato feel.

[@bobclark5360]

@@ThinkSpaceEducation Thank you so much for even a reply..how cool. I tried with some success to use pads and arp rates and it is kind of nice. But I'm a noob and not musically trained. I'm 69 and just getting to understanding some theory, etc. but it seem a shame that at any age or skill you play mindlessly and say oh, wow, I like that! Hit capture midi and there's a your last inspiration in midi at the default tempo. 🙄 Oh well. Thanks again. You're awesome!

Have u made videos for beginners in the past 9n ur channel or could u point me in the right direction of somebody who makes beginners videos on how to use the DAW and all tat entails. Sorry pal.
