Arrange like a boss- FINISH your tracks!

In this video, I show you one of the mightiest features in Cubase that will cure any arranging headaches you have when producing music!
🪐🚀🪐Check Apollo, my new Padshop 2 Signature Expansion here: new.steinberg....

[@nyanstrider]

Dom! You don't know how many HOURS you've saved me by showing this cool feature. Please, never stop making videos like this.

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you so much my friend, highly appreciated ❤️

[@alidaneshkhahi4905]

Dom, I just hope one day I see you face to face and give you a hug and say: Thank You For All The Things You’ve Taught Me All This Time. You and Greg Ondo are the people who’ve taught me so many things that I couldn’t learn on my own. So again; Thank you so much bro

[@mgmthegrand]

DITTO!

[@MrMotifXS]

Hi Dom, nice presentation. But one thing you didn’t mentioned. The arranger events can be selected via a generic controller. So in Live situation, you can play your song parts in any order you like, just by selecting a arranger part via a midi note from your keyboard. That’s really useful.

[@mgmthegrand]

WOW! Nice tip! Thanks. Gotta look into that...

[@DomSigalas]

Very good tip indeed! I am not playing live so much these days so this escaped me hahaha

[@InfinityBlur]

I use lmms

[@DamonHodgesOfficialPagePlus]

OMG THAT EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! THANKS

[@Magnus_Loov]

WOW! This I didn't know! Extremely important feature that kind of takes you into Ableton Live territory!

[@Frankyduxtv]

Damn after 20 years Cubase still learning new things this is gold! Your the mentor man 🙏🏻❤️

[@jameelbasyariaziz]

Same with me.. 😂😂

[@GalantGoStudio]

Why i love this man too much ?

[@JDRehn-ve2kd]

I can see that now.

[@janickimusic]

Is easy to love him:) really

[@imperfectmixmusic]

You're the best Dom! Really!! ❤‍🔥 Nobody can teach Cubase like you! 🔥

[@SnowAngelfish]

Wow! Been using cubase for years and knew about the arranger track and played around with it but NEVER used the Flatten feature! Holy smokes,, that would have made things soooo much easier! Amazing!

[@djarjuna2183]

I,m not even sitting on my chair! I,m stucked at the ceiling, This is so great, and then at the end, the cherry on top! Retrospective record......

[@nicholaswharton9484]

I used the arranger track for the first time the other day, but I didn't realize I could do SOO much more with it until I watched this video! I'll definitely be using it way more from today onwards. That being said though, "shift + *" just absolutely blew my mind! I had no idea about retrospective recording! The amount of time I could have saved myself with just that one little trick! Dude! THANK YOU!!!!

[@radusirbuofficial]

I'm15 years Cubase user and didn't know about this... :)))) This will save so much time for me :) Thanks!

[@MoxieStarpark]

omg my head just exploded from the possibilities. Can't wait to implement this! ty.

[@PlagueRat-]

wow!!! Where has this been all my life . MONEY!

[@JPav91]

There’s a song mode in Reason that is meant to do something similar but this is so much cooler and deeper. Switching to Cubase was one of the best moves I made, even more so now that I can still use Reason as a plug-in. That was the one thing I missed most.

[@GalantGoStudio]

Welcome to best Daw world and bigger latency too 😄

[@adsearan]

Block mode in Reason is much easier, but that's why I am watching this video cause I need to figure this out 😂🚨

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@adsearan I thought Block Mode was the most confusing thing ever. It was somehow jumbled up with song mode and it always became a mess for me, not helping at all just a complete mess. Cubase arranger track is extremely easy though. Very logical. Sits on top of "the song" and just tells the cursor to jump to different positions.

[@adsearan]

@@Magnus_Loov I have figured out both and arranger track is just mind blowing!!! I make a folder called track elements and just put my track parts in that folder separate from the vocals. Seriously, arranger track is boss!!

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@adsearan Seriously, Cubase has the best tools for organising a project when it comes to the later stages. DAWs like Reason or Ableton Live are great at the beginning when you are just sketching up things fast, but a mess when the projects grow.

[@zzzyzzzyzzzyxxx]

Dom. Boom! Rock my world. I was a cut and paster, now I'm and Arranger Track aficionado. Thank you.

[@Cap10NRGMusic]

Dom my man - that was ASTOUNDING!! Thank you SO MUCH!

[@peterlambros]

By far, one of the most enjoyable videos about Cubase. The Arranger Track will become my best new friend, aside from the Modern 80's Drum Kit Dom; thank you for your passion and sharing... Plus the Shift + * retrospective recording tip at the end of the video; pure gold... BOOM!!

[@flumetron]

I knew about the arranger track but, as with a lot of Cubase functions, I didn't know how to use it (being a rank amateur at this). This is why Dom's tutorials, amongst others, are so important and invaluable! 👍👍

[@chrisibbetson]

The only intro reel I don't try to skip! Great video Dom!

[@mgmthegrand]

SO TRUE! I just realised that...

[@cjayamsterdam]

Mind is blown... I just keep learning, even after a crazy amount of years :) You rock Dom!

[@SubaniJananika]

Very very thanks sir..I'm srilanka ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ amazing

[@59framus]

Dom, I just gotta say your enthusiasm is infectious :) Thanks so much for your tutorials. I was looking for exactly this, I got a request to make an intro shorter on a song - after some searching found the cycle markers, then the arranger track and was playing around with it. Thought I broke it when I clicked on flatten the chain not knowing what it does, “undo” is very handy, and now I know! Thanks!

[@Nomasiac]

BOOM!!! The sound of my brain exploding. Always learning something new thanx to Dom!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Serenitees]

game changer! much more intuitive and powerful for those of us who prefer linear composing. Thanks, Dom!

[@nebukad1833]

Really cool stuff. Did some courses, but never touched this amazing feature. Again: it was my best desicion to follow this channel. Thanks Dom!

[@matchmediafilms]

Arranger chain is one of the most used features in our production, the time it takes to do this manually is better spent being creative. Also having the time of arrangement update with each part addition is so helpful! Thank you Dom for the extra tips and big smiles!

[@Funkangeles]

Dom it’s my favorite tool dude for at least 5 years..you do incredible things bro. Thank you. Cubasis 11

[@magicmulder]

This is one of those "I wish Cubase had this" things that Cubase has. :D Thanks, man, I knew about this but your explanation helped a lot getting to results quickly. Cheers!

[@Fox_is_Fox]

Your energy is definitely contagious 😊 thanks man!

[@DavidKingonYT]

I am so late Dom… but this is amazing I had no clue it existed. Thank you. Subbed.

[@HowlingUlf]

yeah, the arranger track deserves some love. it's been there for a l o n g while and it works without hiccups ... always! And nothing keeps you from starting over with a new arranger track in a project that has already been flattened. Great way to clean things up before settling with a final version. Final version #2. Final version #2 b. Actually final version Actually final version 2021 ... to be continued ...

[@mgmthegrand]

LMFAO!!!

[@aceamadeus]

hi Dom, awesome song! Could you please tell me what BASS patch you're using in your example, in track right below your awesome 80s drums. Danke!! 🎛🔊🎹💾📼

[@thisjaredrussell]

This makes me so happy. About 30 years ago I was writing music for video with an Apple Mac Classic (2Mb RAM + 40Mb drive) using a midi sequencer software called Opcode Vision. This was back when Cubase was in its infancy and running on Atari! Anyway this software, which was cutting edge at the time, allowed you to write sections of music and label them A-Z. You could then type a sequence of letters and the sections would play back in that order - brilliant. The Arranger Track in Cubase is the closest thing to this that I’ve seen, but obviously way better. Thanks for the video 🙏

[@markdormer7959]

been using cubase since the Atari ST days, and knew there was an arranger track, but never tried to mess with it, and you have just blown my mind.....AGAIN. How many mixes have I had to remove all automation and events, to go back and mix again due to changes in the arrangement. This is so simple and time saving, yet so damn powerful. Thank you.

[@Kasolly2011]

Dom I use Cubase for many many years and every time I watch your videos I fell like if I Know nothing about it!!! You are the best!!! You are "FODA" (brazilian slang) !!! Thank you so so much!!! I'm your fan !!!

[@suedetvrecordingstudio4918]

Been using the arranger track for a while as a singer-songwriter engineer producer it is invaluable love your videos

[@ronancollot4900]

Wow! I was using an empty midi track with colors for seeing my structure and all these cut&pasre! You changed my life! Thank you!

[@soundwelt1428]

This is pure Gold! 🌟🎼👌🏻 don't know how many times I've messed up a track cause of dragging things around 😂

[@MrArchie800]

Played with it but didn't know about the flatten track. Man I'm going to resurrect all my old riffs and turn them into songs! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@herrderlage6180]

I've got no fu**ing idea why someone can not like these clips. Every time a pleasure to watch. Thanks a lot my virtual unidirectonal cubase mate :)

[@fabricasonora]

Incredible! I've been using Cubase for years, and I couldn't imagine it had so many amazing features! Thank you for sharing!

[@ShaneMiller1967]

I've used it once or twice since cubase sl2

[@jamesschaller3763]

I usually layout my first arrangement in the Arranger track, then use it to make changes for clients...Miu importante! Thanks for another clear, fun, extremely helpful video.

[@KaiWenFranklin]

I have added the arranger track to all of my templates. Be using this for years!! Very helpful!

[@TheSzyszko]

i cant beleave how far i going on with cubase thanks to you. I change me daw a few month ago and i start mi first real production to a client. And its just go on so far good, thank to this kind of videos from you. thanks to much

[@-_AjB_-]

I've noticed that as I watch your videos, questions come to mind, and you immediately answer them in the next section. Love it! My favourite cubase educator.

[@emilsoderberg305]

I kind of new this existed, but never dug into to it. Touched the use of markers at some print but always ended up just focusing on recording and editing with old habits. Forcing myself through cutting, marking, moving, missing notes, missing automatisations, f*cking up first or last notes in the block and making the blocks a milli second shorter so therefore f*cking up the loops. And so on. So what was needed to be smooth never was and it has always been the grudge in the process of creating.... and this since Cubase SX3 or so 🙃 As some wrote here I still learn things after 20 years! Yesterday I both discovered ripple delete AND this.... 🤯 Today is gonna be a Great arranging day!

[@peterj.9713]

I knew basic functions with the arrangertrack, But the BOOM was new for me. Thank you very much for showing

[@stevesoucy5932]

Dom! You came highly recommended from a few colleagues of mine on Twitter/X as I'm a recent Cubase convert (I moved over from FL Studio just in the last week), and I was looking for tutorials to check out. Let me just say that I'm glad I was pointed in your direction. Zero regrets switching to Cubase! Thank you.

[@musselasse54]

Brilliant... brilliant... brilliant... I didn't know this... A new world.....

[@Flangephaser]

I am so glad that i discovered your channel some weeks ago..thx for sharing your knowledge in these cool videos... it is a joy watching them ! Apollo is my next purchase..promised !

[@pstephens__]

Which Apollo are you purchasing?

[@Flangephaser]

@@pstephens__ Doms Expansion..pretty cool..as far as i can tell.. just saw his video on this

[@ppgf]

KZbin should have the option to love it, since a simple like is sometimes not enough. As always Dom RULES!!

[@take942]

Hi Dom, The"Arranger Track" is incredible! I had never considred using it before. Much thanks for showing how to use it!

[@fredavian]

oO incredible function, this is amazing. Thanks for this fabulous tips 😀 I love you channel and cubase is The Best daw in the universe 😄😄😄😄. Thanks you so much Dom :))

[@johnandrew6030]

Thank you Dom. I have recently upgraded from an old Mac and cubase to a new Mac and cubase 12. I find your tutorials easy to understand and the best that I have seen so far. Hope your tutorials give me answers to my questions.

[@foxitallrecords]

Dom....you’re the man, thank you for all the Cubase knowledge. My favorite KZbin channel. Thank you thank you thank you. That song is sick.

[@felinephase]

I'm not the most knowledgeable Cubase user out there, but that one is one of the first features I tried when I got to Cubase. And I must say when I discovered it goes further than just being a tool for labelling sections, I was amazed. It was about picking which tool to use between markers and arranger tracks. Select a clip on the arranger track, press p and / if needs be. Work on your section easily.

[@otiumorange3995]

Absolutely brilliant! Been using Cubase for years and completely overlooked this tool! Thanks so much!

[@ozdrjohn]

saw arranger track option there for years, but never knew what it did - brilliant explanation!

[@altermoremusic]

It has been a long time since I had a video of a composer who looked so happy. Thank you :) Tell me pls how and what do you make for a living?

[@VictorTrifu]

Yes, I knew about the arranger and used it many times, even from Cubase 5. But I still watched the video, to see if I'm missing something, as i want to upgrade now. Great tutorials!. Keep making them! And also you have a very positive energy!

[@alangeer6766]

I don’t know what to say brother, the number one reason I have stuck with Cuba’s is because of you! I hope you’re in Dorst I hope they pay you, or something because you are the key to keeping me interested and involved with this platform. I didn’t know about the arranger and I had used it before and I knew you’d be able to lay it out for me and get me excited about it again. Thank you for all your videos!

[@gonzomuller8846]

Das ist ja der totale Wahnsinn, ist das geil? Tausend Dank für dieses Video. 👍

[@felixgarcia8971]

Very Nice Tip!

[@ParthaBanerjee]

We love you. ❤️🙏🎶

[@JDRehn-ve2kd]

Ive “invented” this in my mind and couldent see why it wouldent exist. Sometimes its just like that though. BUT NOT THIS TIME!!!!! greatest appreciation, thank you 🙏

[@redfordmusicofficial]

Yes, this feature is very convenient for me as a Housemusic producer. In matter of minutes I can make from a original extended version, a shorter radio edit. Amazing.

[@jimchaney1537]

Dom thanks for all these tips and feature alerts. This was truly a "BOOM" moment for me!!!

[@JDRehn-ve2kd]

Same

[@altermoremusic]

Wow! Where I can listen this song? This vocal is beauty, i like it too much. Just dancing now :D

[@altermoremusic]

I need exactly that kind of opportunity at Studio One 5!

[@staycalmwriteaboutit]

Wow! Thank you so much Dom! Never knew this incredible feature existed. You are the best teacher ever!

[@pianonimrecords]

retrospective and linear 🤘😎

[@bunker8digitallabs]

Dom, you did it again. I tried out your arranger track tutorial and boom goes the dynamite, it worked. I used to make multiple copies and scramble around the linear matter of building a track and it worked. But, I tried what you suggested and BOOM it worked. Flattened the arrangement and it was done. I cannot thank you enough.

[@AdrianaCordovez]

AHHHHHHH...OMG!!!! after using Cubase for 20 years i cannot believe i didn't know about this!!...thank you so much for your videos dude!...As a composer/producer this is a life saver...this is why i will never change Cubase and Nuendo for anything else ever....thank you for always having such great videos..Gracias!!

[@michielp1392]

Never heard of it. I used to chop everything and rearrange. I'm going to try it today. Thanks!

[@elitebeatagent8993]

Game Changing workflow!!! It just makes sense 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@xinnor2790]

Dom, I watched some other videos and decided to take a look at the manual again. As I was looking for the section of Chord Pads I saw the Arranger Track section. Then I looked up your video. It turns out his is EXACTLY what I need for My current project!

[@CelticFrost609]

My life has less frustration now, that shift+* trick is a life saver specially with clients lol How cool is this

[@Channel69Music]

I switched from Reason to Cubase about six months ago. One of the elements of Reason that i really liked but was willing to let go of was the "Blocks" Mode. This video just made my day. I had no idea Cubase was capable of this. Now i'm even more impressed by Cubase and can't wait to start using this. Thanks!

[@bennyceca]

another way to work is to use folder tracks to group different types of layers (synths, bass, fx etc). You can then move all those folders into a parent folder, then you can copy whole sections on the parent folder track which displays a block of all events in the child channels, if you don't fancy doing it with the arranger track that is. If you only want to copy the pads and bass tracks for example, then only copy the blocks for those folders.

[@vincentizghra6144]

Hhholy explative.. When I need a break from composing I watch your videos and every day my workflow gets better. Edit in place, logical editor, advanced quantize, effect ducking... You've tought me so much I wish I could buy you a coffee or something. NEVER STOP!

[@grenonstar]

I've seen it in my options but never explored it. This is fantastic!. I have to do 30 second edits for my publisher. I've always done copy paiste, BUT NOW..... thanks so much!!

[@Sesaon3]

Been using the Arranger track for the last year -LOVE it - like you wish I'd used it right form the beginning. Unless you know a way round this the only thing I would like Steinberg to implement is either allow the Arranger Track to be imported (into my Mix Project of the same song when its all been bounced) or have a Marker Track duplicate the Arranger names as I like to have the sections in my Mix Project for ease of navigation.

[@helmuthraschan9015]

You re a real refreshing lightening person - also the way you transfer knowledge. compliments and keep on.

[@martymodus7205]

I used to use this in Cakewalk Sonar and need to start using it in Cubase now. Thanks Dom!!

[@JestlMartin]

I Love the Aranger for finding the right Arangement for my Songs and Podcasts. It is great to get an Inpression of what im producing before get it ready. Tnx for this cool Video

[@AnthonyGeemusician]

Wow, like a blessing, just switched to cubase from reaper, and, wow now i see this. Thanks so much, been working on my songs after hours, and this was one of my issues, i have destroyd great mixes, with chopping. This is a game changer for me, thanks mate

[@dannyb6618]

Dom, this is so great. I love your lessons. Not only is your stuff super useful and do I learn a lot, watching your videos also makes me happy. You are like vitamin D in the wintertime. Your vibe is so uplifting and inspirational, awesome! Keep it going Dom😉🤘

[@djmozmorris]

I love using the Arranger track to work on rearranging old classics for better club play

Fantastic tool that I didn't know how to use, never got to it. But that tutoriel, will definitetly change for now on, the way I do things. Always a pleasure watching your videos, learn something everytime. Thanks a lot.

[@Djstevemuller]

Oh man, what a smile on my face... you made my day.. keep up the good work Dom and thanks!!

[@aloisraich9326]

your enthusiasmus is addictive, and its great to listen to a tutorial where actually a good song is used, so many cubase and other youtube teachers often use really bad songs, they sing themselves and such, mostly awful, one does not get the feel for a technologie or a function if the music is so bad, please to all teachers out there, do not sing your selve, find a good singer, there is many in your neibhourhood

[@jamelabanderson4474]

My face had the exact same excited happy expression as Dom's in this video!

[@eghbalhabibi]

Nice Man !

[@robertbarner7626]

I used the arranger track all the time it's so helpful in putting a track together.

[@morioro]

Arranger track is soooo handy, made getting pieces finished so much simpler as even if I have just a verse and intro it allows me to create a structure and as I’m someone who needs some limitations to creating music it helps provide that focus.

[@Rilerboy]

Best thing i've learned in Cubase in ages lol..... Great shout!!

[@aaronjaffe4931]

No doubt! +1
