[@peterradd6836]

Splendid video as always Chris!!! When setting a preference regarding "On Processing Shared Clips", some folks might prefer another option listed which is "Create New Version". This way, you always and automatically get a new version of the audio part, and can start going at it independently if you don't need the option.

[@mixdownonline]

For sure!

Hi Chris Thanks very much for the tips great tips and very clear the way you engage it to us . I want to know if you have any idea how to move an audio track from one place to another without dragging it all the way . For ex to move audio track no 64 to 22 . Is there any fast way to do it?

[@comedycamping4692]

Great video lots of info. Thank you. I have a problem when using my asm hydra synth in cubase. When I send a program change. The preset will change as it should. But once I stop or rewind cubase. My hydra resets back to preset number 1. I have tried everything I can think of in setting and midi filter but nothing seems to help. I have also tried those in ableton and everything is fine. Is this a bug or an I missing something. None of my other hardware synths do this. They keep the preset I choose on the inspector or via a program change.

[@SF_Bud]

Great tips, as always - thanks! Question: How do you go about customizing the meters and what meter settings should be used under what circumstances? I noticed you've customized your meters, and I know a little about metering but need to understand better. Could you do a tip sometime, or if you feel like it needs to be covered in depth, please, by all means, do a dedicated video? Thanks. Peace from SF

[@mixdownonline]

Great suggestion! Will do!

[@KyriCB]

Hey Chris, great video as always, so helpful!!! How can I connect a sub into my home studio set-up? Through the audio interface?

[@mixdownonline]

I use a Hardware Monitor Controller for this but you can also connect your main speakers in your sub directly and set the crossover point to you taste.

[@KyriCB]

@@mixdownonline Thanx Chris!! Checking out your Ultimate Guide to Cubase course!!

[@robingraham1585]

Excellent video! As always, you showed me a few things I didn't know. Two questions, if I may... First: I am not near my music computer at the moment so I can't try it yet, but when creating custom folders, can I change the order the folders are listed in after creating them? Second: What is that light on he left side of the screen when the video starts? Is it just a light or does it serve some other purpose; decorative, perhaps? Also, it looks like there is another one on top of what looks like an analog 16-track recorder in the background on the right. Where can I get one? That's three questions, I guess. Thanks.

[@mixdownonline]

Hey Robin, 1. Yes you can 2. It's all for the looks ;-) 3. That's a Tascam 85-16B that is not mine and not working yet. It adds a nice look to my videos though...Lol You can find those on ebay or reverb.com

[@robingraham1585]

Thanks for the reply. I checked both sites and couldn't find the light. All my search terms either turned up nothing or turned up thousands of lights, but not the one in your video. Does it have a name? Or is there a manufacturer/s name?

[@mpennino]

Does the micro edit work with automation points as well? When I am editing automation I have a hard time getting it to return back to 0 or in the middle.

[@mixdownonline]

No it doesn't but you can change the value of an automation point straight from the Info Bar on top.

[@MyChris62]

Hi Chris I see that you have an extended colour palette in this video.How can I extend mine? Thanks

[@stephen285]

Sensei Selim, is there a way to synch the F3 mixer page and the lower mixer on the track page so that they are always synched with respect to zone layouts and track visibility ? If so please step me thru it as I am to stupid to figure it out. Thank you!

Hi chrish, How to fix a plug-ins latency in cubase pro 10.5 specially in mix council

[@mixdownonline]

You can't fix latency, it's part of the game. Cubase automatically compensate for plugin latency so it's not a problem when mixing.

[@arxneed]

Chris Selim - Mixdown Online Thx

[@theparkerilla7292]

Is there a way to select multiple tracks and change their colour all in one command, instead of having to do each track individually ?

[@nachoci6876]

select the tracks, Menu project > Colorize selected tracks ... at least on Cubase 10 Pro.

[@giulioboobzilla]

Nacho CI U can just click on the color when tracks r selected

[@theparkerilla7292]

@@nachoci6876 Thank you. That's solved one of my workflow bottlenecks. I've not noticed that feature (at the top of the drop down menu - Doh). I'll be assigning Alt-Shift-C to a key command. :)

[@11echoos]

I'm using Cubase elements which I downloaded recently and I mostly do some country and slow songs. I'm Having some issues with vocal processing, I do record vocal professionally but I'm Not getting a perfect vocal that I want even after mixing. Can u guide me which stock plugins i need to add for the vocal to sound crisp and nice.

[@mixdownonline]

I'm actually working on a Mixing Course in Cubase that will be out in October. Make sure you're on my mailing list to stay updated!

[@watsonstudios]

Possible silly question: When gain staging, is it the same result to use the gain in the "Pre" rack than it is to use a gain plugin as an insert?

[@mixdownonline]

It is in a way, yes. Using Clip Gain or the Pre Gain will affect the signal before the Insert Plugins. The Gain Plugin will affect the signal going in the following plugins. So if your Gain plugin is the first plugin in your Inserts, it will do the job.

Not in Cubase, in Nuendo you can add 2 video tracks

[@alainpatry]

Steinberg should rename their "Delete Time" to Ripple Delete since it's so commonly referred like that in other audio/video apps. Chris, do you use the same keyboard shortcut for ripple deleting in all of your programs?

[@mixdownonline]

No I don't, when I work in Premiere, I use other shortcuts since I'm in a different mindset.

[@sankardas1042]

How to move total event sequence? Suppose I create 3 channel then how to move 3 both of channel in same time from left to right!!! Pls help

[@massoudnassar3979]

thank you

[@mixdownonline]

You're welcome

[@krienmineel]

It is not really ripple delete is it? I use ripple delete in premiere pro when I've got, for example, a drone vid recording of 5 minutes, take out the scenes that i don't want and be left with a couple of clips with nothing in between. I select everything and choose ripple delete and it delete's all time between the clips. So for my Cubase when i work with podcast i get a revision with time stamps. I cannot use the method that you showed in the video cause the the time stamps given to me wont match the project anymore. I cut out all the parts given to me in the revision and i am left, like my example of the drone video, with clips of audio with nothing in between. Is there an option to just delete the time between the clips so it all snaps back together? Now i have to select all the clips, move them forward myself which is really time consuming. Sometimes aim working with more than 50 cuts in my audio. Anyway thanks for the tips man, good vid!

[@gonzomuller8846]

Wie kann ich die Farbpalette so umgestalten wie bei dir? Mit weiß, grau und schwarz???????

[@lenny602]

Hi Chris, I have a quick question that I wonder if you have ever had this same issue. For some reason quite often i will compose with hallion sonic se, and notice all my sounds only coming from my left monitor, when I open the instrument I see within there it s panned hard left, when I move it back centre within hallion it automatically switches back 2 hard left, not sure if this is some kind of bug. But it is definitely infuriating and definitely not an automation issue, many thanks if u have ever come across this problem and know of a fix,, cheers lenni, ps version cubase pron10.5 user ✌

[@mixdownonline]

Having your channel in Pan Read Automation mode would be the problem but no, never saw that before, sorry!

[@lenny602]

@@mixdownonline thanks chris.. but no my friend sadly there is no automation being written or read. The pan pot stays centre , it's the actual pan slider on the instrument. Probably some type of bug, thanks for the reply I've learned alot about cubase over the years through your channel ✌

[@Ram-Music]

really thanks

[@mixdownonline]

Most welcome

[@Dylanguitar69]

I forgot how I did it, but there's a setting where your project locaters will automatically align with the beginning and endpoints of whatever you select with your range selection tool. Saves you from having to hit P every time.

[@mixdownonline]

Always did it with "P" so I couldn't tell :-)

[@Dylanguitar69]

@@mixdownonline Found it! Preferences -- Editing ----"Cycle Follows Range Selection". It eliminates the need to press "P."

[@petrzeman24]

hi, chris. i just found a better solution for rename selected track. and it is REAL rename. just click on selected audio track and then click ctrl+B (it is shortuct for project---open browser______on windows. on mac i dont know the shortcut). in this menu you can change the name of audio track absolutely. you cant have two same names like bass and in next part bass again. you can write for example bass verse 1 than bass chorus, than bass verse 2 and so on. but i think it is ok. bye and thank you very much for your helpful videos!
