Very good instructional video, I especially like the fact that you chose a stem that didn't include a drum beat ! So many guys show you the easy route, using the drum track to adjust the tempo .. you took the hard way, which in my experience is the 'real world' scenario, where you often only get a guitar track to play with ... so well done and thanks

Hey Jef! Great as always! But I am confused on your process here. I was taught when establishing a tempo of a song in Cubase that you have to tell the project (or the actual audio at your discretion) that the tempo mapping you established for the song has to be "burned in" before deleting it by using the "set definition of tempo" option. You disregarded that last step entirely but said it was already "locked in" at that moment in time (each beat and/or bar). So with that said, any tempo changes you make afterwhich could not be followed without that map you initially made. I'm missing something here. lol At least that's how I've always done it with sucess. Maybe it's one difference between Cubase 11 and Cubase 12? idk Regardless, love your content! Hope you can continue to share your knowledge here on YT. :)

Thank you for the video and your clear & concise presentation. The only part of this tempo mapping process that I question is wiping out the tempo track after having added parts to the original reference track in alignment with the constructed tempo map. I realize that the MIDI events are locked to specific points on the grid and that after wiping the tempo track one can set any desired tempo and expect the MIDI tracks to align to the same relative grid points. However, does not wiping the tempo map and setting it to a single tempo throughout a piece of music contradict the original intent of having a tempo map, which is to preserve a live performance's feel? Would not the live performance feel be eliminated when wiping the tempo map? As an alternative, maybe we can remove the reference track but keep the tempo map as a temporal reference for any additional live-recorded tracks. I think this has the added benefit of retaining the original feel of the music. Also, when added content & FX that are temporally dependent (e.g., loops, delay), they will precisely lock to the tempo changes. Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

@BoosGunn4 жыл бұрын
Jef Gibbons thanks for the reply! So yes, I want to reduce the sound of a group when I move to the mixing stage of creating a beat. I read that -18 dB is a good starting point for most sounds/groups so there is a bunch of headroom for the mix. In other DAWs, I see a plugin that can reduce the gain without adjusting the fader, like Utility in Ableton or Gain in Logic, but I have no luck finding one in Maschine. I have the beat ready to go as far as creating the melody and drums, but now I just want to mix it correctly. I basically just want to figure out a way to get the groups loudness to -18 dB without changing the fader. Maybe it’s way easier than I think and I can’t quite put my finger on how to do it, or maybe I’m just confused and going about it the wrong way, and adjusting the faders down to -18 dB would just be fine. However, every video I watch about gain staging they all lower the loudness of the groups/sounds before even touching the faders. Also, yes, Gunn is my last name! What a coincidence lol! Thanks again!
@mrt38703 жыл бұрын
The Tempo Detection option may be a good first step. But I have found it not accurate enough in certain circumstances. So as step 2 the Time Warp tool, while time-consuming, allows accurate lining-up of every bar and even beat, so that even high-attack MIDI instruments like guitar, piano and percussion will fit in when programmed within the MIDI Bars and Beats set up by the above process. Btw I am watching the advert for a certain MIDI-Pack for about the 100th time as I write.
