Audio Warp not Matching Audio Files | Cubase Q&A with Greg Ondo

[@truthtorpedo99]

Cubase is incredible. I knew i could do time warps manually to fix a tempo, but this is a whole other level. Jeez!

[@anggawbsn]

I this case usually I'm doing manual tempo mapping for the violins, cause sometimes the auto analyze are not precise. As we can hear, it slightly miss the tempo. Still a great feature I can't live without :D

[@TheHirade]

I have to watch that three times more to get it, but I already know, it's a great function 👍

[@guitboxgeek]

I agree! Great functionality, but man, you need to go to Cubase University to study the menu options lol

[@TuckRob]

Yeah, it's one of those where you figure out easily why it's a good thing but don't intuit the process by watching. I guess that happens when you apply it. I'm bound to come across a need for this soon so I'll be back here to go through it again no doubt. I don't if I'd ever get much done in Cubase without this amazing resource on youtube.

[@joek2904]

I still have a tough time wrapping my head around how this aligned so perfectly....

[@vinnysabatino8333]

As usual, Greg is always showing us how easy it is and how powerful CUBASE is! Thanx

[@Heaven6863]

Greg...you really are the Cubase master

[@fixcena]

Simply Awesome

[@kobalt77]

That is amazing, thank you so much for explaining this, I never knew I could do that hahaha, Cubase is a never ending journey of discovery.

[@DRUMISTAAKO]

CUBASE IS THE BEST!!!

[@miguelbarella1173]

Excellent! I spent hours strugling with this problem and the solution is in this video.

[@roxnroll8050]

That's really cool that this is even possible! But, of course, being a nitpicky nerd, it'd be great if I could just select "Copy tempo" from a context menu item, and then select the target(s) and paste - now all the clips are the same tempo. That would be a perfect world scenario. - one could dream. Thanks for the video! Saved to my library :)

[@guitboxgeek]

I really believe Steinberg needs to hire an experienced UX expert to help them with this type of stuff. Most other daws don't have the level of complexity Cubase and Nuendo have native, but when they do, they make it a fair bit easier to digest.

[@BreakdawnerMusic]

Exactly what ive been looking for 🤩! Thank you

[@eljodioerrante]

WOW. This is impressive. Tank You very much. Felices Fiestas y feliz año nuevo.

[@tam_ryan1036]

Superbly explained! Thanks Great, as always. I have scratched my head more than once over this. The other thing that confuses me is the difference between the musical mode that you set there (and by the check mark in the pool) and the one that is set by the track name. I'm guessing it's per track as opposed to per event.... but I still don't get how that distinction works in practice...

[@axxisworld]

...if tempo detection works fine .. it's a great tip!

[@MikkjalHvannastein]

What kinda sorcery is this 😱. Awesome and creative trick. Thanks :)

[@YannisFyssas]

Super useful, especially for us that use click as a way to have variant tempos in our music!

[@alexanderwerneburg8642]

omg this actually works, extremely helpful thank you!!

[@HansolJang]

very informative. thanks. next time, please show how to warp grid for live recording (music without click)

[@Mr.HYd3]

Cubase is amazing

[@pjdahmen]

Great tutorial

[@mariorivera3312]

Since which version of Cubase has that tools for Time Warp? I love the older versions of Cubase but this is a great and practical tool for audio warp.

[@MohamedElHanoun]

Very useful thanks ❤️

[@compoundaudio]

Nicely done

[@chinglembanongmaithem8827]

Very helpful i love it....been searching for plugin to do does things lol

[@shishmanashvil]

Thank you!

[@LindaMissad]

Wow, thank you for this info. These tips you provide are very helpful.

[@rastaboogie]

That just blew my mind

[@kotezstudio]

Bloody el, nice one.

[@RayDS]

Very helpful.. Thanks Mr. Greg

[@alainpatry]

Brilliant!

[@ElvinMitra]

i love this tutorial greg.. 😊❤️

[@rolandgerard6064]

I find it helpful, indeed, thanks

[@suniel_music4407]

this is super to know that it is possible.

[@verdi260]

Hi Greg, thank's for a very usefull video. Please keep going further. Jan

[@LFOVCF]

Takes a bit if getting my head round it but invaluable info.

[@SoundFriendly]

Wow, I didn’t even know this was possible at all. Such a great DAW but it seems I only touched the surface of it so far.

[@TheRobGuard]

Cool video! Very useful info and "how-to".

[@DrKaoliN]

OMG that's awesome!

[@JamesColah]

Hi Greg. Excellent video however I just want to mention that you could probably get less artefacts on the warped violin melody by changing the algorithm to elastique Pro-Pitch? Have a nice day and keep up the good work! Kind regards from London, England. James Colah

[@QuaverloveStudio]

Absolutely amazing!

[@denovaire]

That's a great one! Amazing functionality, learned sth this time :)

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Thanks Greg..

[@rich120354]

Thanks this was really helpful. Is this just for short tracks? I tried it with a 4 minute track and sync was lost after 3 minutes. Got round it by cutting the lower track in 2

[@fredmartin31]

Excellent ! ! !

[@Dana.Ismael]

Amazing .

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

Very cool thanks!!!

[@bikesnbeerz]

Thank you Greg. Anyway to reset faders to 0 with a few clicks? (forums didn't show anything)

[@AlainChatignon]

Thanks it's a great function

[@vonotebook]

THANKS !

[@rasolzamini8678]

thanks

[@JayFrederick]

Amazing! Cubase ftw!

[@irecki1]

Greg he's Steinberg Guru!

[@VoxJ]

Very informative! I'm having a bit of a dilemma with tempo jumping from 119 to 142 BPM and back again. That is not how the music was performed

[@gregondo376]

If you need to adjust the tempo manually if it seems that the tempo detection to not catch parts accurately it can be easily adjusted with the time warp tool. The time warp tool is selected automatically after a tempo detection for this reason.

[@lahattec]

It IS magic!!

[@dario5150]

Great

[@steveforwarduk]

what if you have a 9minute medley of tracks, of multiple tempos? almost every time I try and use the audio warp, it never gets it right. demonstrations like this are OK to show beginners, but how can we create a decent tempo map for longer more complex audio files? the only true way I can see, even to this day is manually editing every step. I've not come across a better method. sadly.

[@Fezzler61]

Once the tempo point are marked and synced, assuming the two pieces are relatively close, how do you go to the next step and lock them to one consistent tempo across the music, such as 112 bpm? I often get freely played audio that drifts that I want to stretch to one consistent tempo that others can then record to along with a click track.

[@giulioboobzilla]

like wit da violin in dis x-ample U can embed da tempo in2 the otha track & set it 2 musical mode. Turn off da tempo track & U can choose whateva tempo U want. All files wit tempo information will follow da project.

[@daddydanny5588]

gr8 vid ...

[@Ludvig-Pedersen]

Where do you go if you want a steady tempo from this? Now the tempo is "all over the place", but if you want the whole piece to play in 120BPM only, what do you do?

[@foxproduction4554]

hello Greg, Im a new Cubase user coming from logic x, I have tried to speed up slow down a drum loop and I have noticed that after slowing down the loop for 10 bpms the transients on the kick of the drum loop are kinda soft, theres no punch and attack wich is not the case with logic or pro tools....is there any tip to make them better sounding?tried with different algorithms and its the same....regards

[@johnblumstein]

Wow, how cool!

[@kiranthakrar1292]

Wow !

[@lorenzojuniormuscoso2547]

Hi, I have a problem with Cubase.. Sometimes wen I record or bounce a track it and I put it in another project it speed up the tempo of the track. How can I fix this problem? Thanks

[@ElectroSwingable]

Nice one can you also match pitch if that was out at the same time

[@markjtapply]

Two or three different ways. Look into Vari-audio.

[@seekohn3022]

Siiiiick. Cubase, what else can you do? Cubase: Yes.

[@zdenekkrejcir8834]

Wow :)

[@skemsen]

Great info but after this how do you make it all play at a fixed tempo and not fluctuate up and down in tempo?

[@donwells8465]

After you set definition from tempo, in musical mode. set the tempo manually on the tempo track.

[@lodung3095]

My cubase 10 is having a problem with the timbre, can someone help me, thank you

[@hameedkhalaf]

does it work with element

[@MerlinErdogmus]

Hello, I've watched this tutorial 6 times by now. Following everything exactly step by step and it is not working in Cubase 11. Any suggestions what I did wrong?

[@BreakdawnerMusic]

i tried in cubase 10 and its also not working! the grids are not on point did u solved the problem? grtz

[@MerlinErdogmus]

@@BreakdawnerMusic I sorta solved the problem from a different angle. I had a 106 BPM track and a 118 BPM track. So I slowed the 118 BPM track down to 112 BPM and sped up the 106 BPM track to 112 BPM. By this I was able to mix both together with cuts, blends crossfades and time-stretching. One was the Home Depot Theme song and the other one was "I Can't Dance" by "Genesis". Made a video about it, if you're interested in it. But it's very trashy. xd This feature is definitely missing atm.

[@Par3TV]

Hi, Greg Thank for sharing. I have a problem try to match with my Midi drum. My midi does not follow the tempo track that the wave audio create. Seem like my midi tempo not change at all. Can you show the way to do? Thank!

[@gregondo376]

Do you have the track in linear mode as opposed to musical mode?

[@Par3TV]

@@gregondo376 Ya, You right. Thank for advice.

[@guitboxgeek]

Hi Greg, thanks for another great and useful vid. Is there any way we can get our feedback to Steinberg other than through their boards? This video is a perfect example of what I believe holds Cubase back from being a more dominant daw in the field. The menu items aren't intuitive nor user friendly at all. A simple UX pass on this would help greatly. Another would be aux busses. The way we have to jump through hoops to set up aux busses definitely works, but if we could simply select Add Track: Aux it would be a much simpler process. Any way, thanks again!

[@gregondo376]

Cubase is a very flexible program and sometimes the videos show different concepts to create solutions to solve problems. Once a user gets some of the concepts figured out the logic then can fine tune the workflow. Regarding adding aux tracks you can already simply add fx channel or add group track currently. I am not sure why you feel the need to jump through hoops. Steinberg and I follow this feedback in forums and discussions closely.

[@guitboxgeek]

@@gregondo376 I appreciate you taking a minute to reply. I did not intend to insult your video nor Steinberg. As a long time customer of Cubase (since Logic was bought by Apple) I'm just interested in getting the most out of the daw as possible. I agree the application is extremely flexible, and that is a huge selling point. I also think the app has taken great leaps in usability in the past two iterations (9 and 10). However, I was simply giving my opinion using aux tracks as an example of usability.

[@relaxationmusicsanctuary3664]

Some say Cubase menus are difficult to navigate and know what features are available. This happens when a software has 35 years of development and a ton of functionalities. Other DAWs aren’t simply neither close to have as much functionalities as Cubase

[@realraven2000]

3:19 now what would be really useful here would be if the detection could be less granular (let's say have a tempo point every 4 beats and not the bpm wildly alternating between different numbers - this is just not how the playing musicians "felt" it) because then you could import the track elsewhere without necessarily changing it's "swing". having very quick tempo changes is always much less "exact" than doing tempo detection manually and really honing in on the bars and maybe do some slight corrections here and there. I think to maintain the "feel" one could have just done a "stretch by time" and probably got away with it. Still impressive stuff nonetheless.

[@gregondo376]

The tempo detection is designed to work on a beat by beat basis for accuracy. While it may not be the feel the musicians intended it is often more accurate which is important to the calculations like the processes in the video, You can change the tempo mapping if you want less granularity but it may not help in situations like matching and changing tempos.

[@filteredwaters9171]

I tried this repeatedly yesterday and it didn't work. Aaarrrggghhh!

[@kammeroo]

It was probably off due to a different sample rate

[@chizzulwinduh1941]

Really cool and I know this is just to demonstrate, but the resulting violin track doesn't sound very good and there does seem to be the odd artefact here and there.

[@OneShortMoment]

Well, that’s not very surprising, considering the average tempo of the violin recording is so much lower than that of the orchestra track. Besides, it might very well be that one of the other time stretching algorithms available in Cubase (not shown in this video) would yield a better result for this particular violin line.

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

Chizzul Winduh It’s sitting super high in the mix so we can hear it, and if you have the time (the brief was in 1 hour) you can use variaudio for most of the other issues. It’s a lot faster than finding the original player and setting up to re record at the adjusted tempo, that’s for sure. Audio will only stretch/compress so far without artifacts, unless you have €800 available for Serato Pitch & Time Pro.

[@Exaltation-heliacal]

No talent
