[@sivaprayojan]

😃! I haven't seen anyone do a tutorial with so much enthusiasm and happiness. Great vid! Thanks for this.. Had no idea!

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you so much my man!

[@mindus5760]

:) thats why they Steinberg Chose him...dont forget...Hes a salesman ;)

[@TommyBaldwin]

This guy is the real deal, and the best teacher on KZbin about Cubase I've seen yet. Been using Cubase for almost 2 years now and I feel like I know NOTHING when I watch his amazing tutorials! God Bless you Dom for all this information to keep us inspired and helping us all get better as producers and song writers!

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you so much for the kind words my friend! Happy grooving!

[@morriganraine426]

Never knew about this plugin, I feel like Cubase is full of those hidden gems that we can keep discovering forever! Brilliant video, will definitely play with this a lot! :) Also love your intro, sounds epic!!

[@DomSigalas]

It really is! Thank you Morrigan, glad you like the intro ;)

[@DamonHodgesOfficialPagePlus]

Exactly I feel the same, Cubase is awesome

[@shanecharters6289]

Dom, I've been using Cubase for 22 years and have never really understood how to use Midi-Gate until your clear explanation. Thanks for your excellent videos, you totally Rock!!

[@carabidus]

This is pure wizardry! The character of the synth pad changes radically with the different settings. I especially love the smooth but quick attack setting to produce that pump.

[@DomSigalas]

I know right? It's so nice and smooth!

[@ufox77]

Thanks! This is one of those rare channels with actually useful advice.

[@Ujjayofficial]

My mind is blown by this plugin! So simple but effective

[@michaelgrant5312]

You are the best in teaching cubase, greetings to you from Jamaica

[@bennyceca]

Been using this to create a trance gate/stutter on vocals.

[@peterradd6836]

Just wanted to add some basic stuff about this plug-in . . . even though it's triggered by MIDI, it is an AUDIO plug-in (not a MIDI insert). In Dom's video, it's applied to a MIDI instrument track (which is a combo of MIDI and AUDIO) . This is probably the best way to launch an internal VST instrument, especially if you're going to use this cool plug-in. For those who prefer MIDI tracks, (like me), especially using VST's multi-timbrally, you'll need to locate the the audio channel to which you apply MIDI Gate, and make sure ONLY the instrument/patch you want is routed to that channel. THEN AGAIN . . .that said . . . no reason you can't apply MIDI Gate to a Group Channel, which could include all kinds of stuff! The cool possibilities just don't end!!! Hope that makes sense . . . :-) Pete Radd

[@Larry30102]

Peter Radd Thx Peter for the info.

[@billyshakespeare1696]

This channel is great! The energy and instruction are the best! My new favorite place in the Internet

[@themancable]

Been using Cubase since version 5 ... wow never messed with the MIDIgate, awesome tutorial on a deceptively powerful plugin!

[@isekaiguy69]

Coming back to cubase and I am beyond amazed how much steinberg give so many tools for side chaining all this time. I had always have struggled figuring out the perfect side chain and even venture to other DAW's and I keep coming back to cubase simply because of versatility it has to offer.

[@daftdogjw]

Cool stuff Dom..... Cubase has some excellent stock plugins that deserve more attention..... and this is a great example :-)

[@safenafe1]

That’s the trouble with Cubase it rarely boasts of all the things it has hidden under the hood. These things have been around for years but Steinberg doesn’t push them enough to show off

[@Jursorama]

sweet--untouched audio!! You rule Dom! Thank you for the awesome tips!

[@HouseOfHypnos]

I just finished a whole Cubase Course with an amazing Mentor who taught us a heap load of useful tips and tricks,and still I come back to Dom's Channel for even more Hidden Knowledge! Thank you for the Quality Content 🙏

[@urielterry]

Man, im not your language, and of all tutorials of you tube, i understand at perfectly yours. I like how you speak cuz i understand all you are talking about at perfectly. Tanks so much. That

[@CinderellaVasia]

Dom, you are full of surprises! Thank you for this nice video!

[@mondayrose4169]

New to Cubase 10.5. Used SX2 for 16 years. I still integrate both DAWs. I always look for your videos to ease the learning curve. They're so easy to follow and the quality of the sound is the best. Thank you and Cubase for posting them.

[@mgmthegrand]

OMG!!!!! DOM!!!! Where have you been all my life?! Do you know how many videos I've watched on sidechaining in Elements or using a plugin without a sidechain input?! I've seen countless Midigate videos - this is the first to explain so concisely and comprehensively how this plugin works. THIS IS AMAZING! I feel even more confident promoting Cubase now...

[@sebastianmoggia4800]

That's awesome!!... I always used third party plugins to do similar things but with this Cubase pluings that I didn't know that exists I can do the same and rhythmically have more control. Cheers 👏👏👏

[@peterlambros]

This is an unbelievable plug-in and effect Dom; no idea this existed inside Cubase. Thank you for sharing.

[@DomSigalas]

You're very welcome Peter!

[@bertrandguilloteau7980]

Fantastic ! How a unknown pluggin becomes a must have...

[@DomSigalas]

+Bertrand Guilloteau Really happy you liked it Bertrand Guilloteau !

[@SlopeCreations]

Keep teaching with that smile bro. Good stuff

[@gregortorrence8487]

I've been using it to briefly punch in an effect send. Typically to add a delay to a single drum hit . It works especially well with more intense effects like Molekular than are too much to have going all through a mix.

[@DomSigalas]

Hi Gregor, this is an excellent tip!

[@waynejovis]

Hi Gregor, please can you write the brief steps 1 2 3 of how you use it to add delay to a single drum hit? Would help a lot of people.. thanks!

[@gregortorrence8487]

@@waynejovis Create three tracks: (1) Create a drum track. (2) Create an FX track with the midi gate first and then echo/rever/etc after that. (3) Create MIDI track, assign its output to the midi gate. Now write some parts: Record or draw a drum part for track 1, Then record or draw midi notes for track 2. When ever there is a note playing, the drums get sent to the effects.

[@waynejovis]

@@gregortorrence8487 many thanks mate.. will give this a try when I get home 🍻⤴️🎯

[@TaylorSappe]

I knew this plugin existed and saw briefly how it works, but this video goes into so much more detail and practical use. Thank you for this!

[@mrkrotosuk]

Wow, this is really a nice tip, this could do some amazing things with many types of input, even drums!

[@Borntoproduce]

Great video Dom !!

[@erin79]

Working on a track where I have almost this exact effect on a synth in the chorus, and have been trying to nail it with tremolo, but not really getting it. This makes so much sense as a better method. I also do all my vocal stutters by literally splicing the audio wave into separate segments. Totally tedious and can't easily change and test out different patterns. So glad I found this video.

[@erin79]

Damn. Just realizing Midi Gate doesn't come with Cubase Elements, which is what I have. Do you happen to know of any other similar plugins that are cheap or free that could accomplish something similar?

[@StevoLloyds]

Knew it existed, but never used it, but I will now, thanks Dom.

[@nikibuz1]

my greek brother friend Dom ! i don't have words! Every time i see your videos i think i do not know anything about programming even i work with cubase about 17 years!!!! congratulation!!

[@aljames7345]

Dom. You’re a great sales ambassador for Steiny.

[@saeedfahim4820]

you are the best. It is impossible for anyone to be better than you

[@shivercanada]

Never even saw it let alone used it, thank you I will now!

[@malcolmhodgson7540]

Oh that is really good! The vocal manipulation at the end was superb. Ideas ideas, coming thick and fast!

[@CTheRobot]

This is amazing! I’m not keen on being forced into compression for the side chain effect and this video has given me an entire new range of things I can take advantage of! Dom you’ve done it again 💪🏾 SAVED VIDEO.

[@iambricko]

I’m rediscovering my love of cubase after a 10 year break from music production and your videos have been gold! Thank you so much for everything you do Dom. Big love.

[@DomSigalas]

Big love back to you my friend :)

[@markom9092]

I use it for heavy guitars as a kill switch with automation - kind of - to create stutter effects

[@msp420]

bro you are absolutely blowing my mind with half of your videos. Like I thought I was the only one that loved Cubase as much as I do but apparently the master has revealed himself to us all. Thank you for this one I'm actually going to use this in pretty much all my newer releases lol.

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you my man! You’re not the only one!!!

[@mixdownonline]

Awesome video Dom! The power of CUBASE! You Rock Bro!

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you so much my man!!!

Brilliant, rediscovering this plugin in 12 Pro!🙌🏽

[@henrytuweh3085]

Thank you for opening my eyes 👀 on this plugin

[@marceloav83]

Wonderful! Thanks for the heads up.

[@DMeletis]

Great one im using it soon for sure!

[@EmbersMusic]

Yet another Cubase plug-in that I was unaware of! I am ramping up with soooo many more Cubase plugins as go-to’s thanks to you, Dom! You rock, good Sir! ✌️✌️

[@ugabay]

First of all I want to say that I really enjoy watching your content and the way you convey it. Both friendly and professional. In the 80's in one of my famous productions (there were no computers) I recorded hi-hats at different rhythms on the tape. And I used them as a trigger to activate a gate through which Pad passed. Since I'm breaking my head how to do it on a computer and I have ways but this plugin simplifies everything.

[@xXUsualxSuspectXx]

Another great video! Look forward to playing with this tool! Thanks

[@DomSigalas]

Have fun!

[@ulrichhermes1315]

just a guy that loves music, perfect!

[@piotrlaska]

I knew it is on Cubase, but I never used it. Till today. Thank U man!

I was amazed with those tricks. Awesome Dom. "ola ta lefta". Ps : native English readers don't get me wrong. "ola ta lefta is Greek slang and stands for expressions like" mind-blowing awesome etc" 😎

[@sirlordcomixx1]

So right...never used...a great highlight on cubase stuff

[@michaelmos7497]

Again a perfectly made video from Dom. Also in terms of video technology, as one or the other should notice ...! This great and so far underrated Cubase plugin, as always, gives us Cubase users from Dom a lot of fun, with great attention to detail and with enthusiasm brought and explained in a practical way. There are some excellent Cubase professionals on KZbin. Dom definitely belongs to it !!! And a first-class sympathizer !!! STEINBERG will surely consider himself lucky to have such good and competent people. Greetings from 🇩🇪

[@ibrahimzubedat]

Iwas smiling the whole video, love you hhhhhhhh you are a real G

[@SphoticParikrama]

Cool... I have been using cubase for many years ... but you are simply showing tips tricks that will give me new ideas...

[@igorgirfan]

Very cool, I will use it immediately on my new track, never heard of this, amazing in it's simpicity and effectiveness, thank you so much! It can be used in place of the step designers and step modulators, directly on any track with unlimited variations.

[@nathanieldiazrua]

Wow, that is amazing!!!!

[@harrytselentis6070]

haaaaaa! thats what i am looking for,thanks a lot!

[@kuailomusic2226]

Wow, this is incredible!! Will definitely be using it soon in one of my tracks. Thanks Dom for all the awesome Cubase tutorials, keep them coming!! 😁

[@TheAerovons]

Never used it, this is awesome! THANKS MUCH!

[@reziahamed6654]

Super duper stuff Dom.... Just jaw dropping techniques showcased. I guess you could use a bit more tools and make a game changer ftom this stock pluging sitting in par with something like the Izotope Stutter Edit !!!! Thanks Dom.. Love your presentation as always... Cheers mate !!! 👍👍👍👌👌

[@annother3350]

I use the midi gate quite often to gate and stutter through vocals

[@djjuno106]

I’ve been using Cubase for years and never used the midi gate.to create pumping or chop effects I’ve always used chopper. Thanks don I’ll give this a try in future

[@DomSigalas]

Thank you so much djjuno106! :)

[@musicwitharijit]

Interesting indeed... will find something like thing my logic pro x

[@jackjackdaw5065]

Great tutorial, thanks! I was just trying to gate some audio with keys the other day in a sampler with limited success, this is literally the solution to my problem.

[@Larry30102]

Another frickin great video!! Reminds me some side chaining years ago with similar results. What I did back then that was kind of cool was to route midi drums, say the high hat, to the side chain (midi gate in this instance) for perfect gated sync between parts (guitar and high hat, bass and high hat etc.). Another cool thing would be to automate the parameters in midi gate for extra variety. What Dom did which is cool is to insert effects. I’ve used delays on send channels with great results. This is very cool. Thx so much!!

[@laishramkrishnadassingh8430]

Thank you Dom i am learning from you.

[@marcoliedtke821]

Great! You give me crazy ideas.

Thanks Dom 👍
