How to Create 808s | Trap Production Basics in Cubase

[@commonoctopusmusic]

This dude's voice is part 808

[@VenusTheory]

My Mom was an 808, my Dad was OTT

[@laserjakk3629]

That was my first felling, in my Headphone Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. Btw, nice tutorial.

[@Johennessy]

Hahaha thought the same

[@DoctorJRx]

so much glide !!!

[@7WARRIORSOFTHEHOLYTRINITY]

Best 808 Tutorial for Retrologue by far... Thank you so much 🙏 Cameron , keep it Up

[@PoppAlex-r3i]

Fully Agree!

[@VenusTheory]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@TheRangeControl]

Dude... ...punctuation exists for a reason. Please pause between sentences. It's not always easy to parse the unending word-salad-stream which you constantly dump. I really want to learn what you are teaching, but those if us with ADHD can reeeeally struggle unfortunately.

[@jmac2050]

This one is better than the last video, it was a word blur

[@ottam]

It's possible that Cubase gives him a time limit and he's trying to fit everything in under 10 minutes. Also, pause buttons exist for a reason...

[@zacharywhite5466]

Can always use a pause button. Its not a college lecture.

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! Due to time constraints the video had to be edited to minimize dead air as much as possible, and I wanted to make sure that as many details were communicated as possible otherwise some folks may feel that information was left out. However, you can always rewatch if needed!

[@ottam]

@@VenusTheory Just do it exactly how I want for free, okay?

[@PeterReesvan]

Distortion, quadrafuzz, pretty extreme eq-ing, tape saturation and maximizing,... not sure about this

[@anthonyhorton5884]

I never knew retro could accomplish this as I am not a sound designer by design but I am always looking for nice 808s so this came at the right time. Thanks!!

[@VenusTheory]

Retrologue is quite powerful! There's a lot you can do with it so long as you spend a bit of time learning the different features. Glad the tutorial was helpful!

[@ccfeelsaboutyou]

Congratulations Cameron for making it to the Cubase channel!!! Much love!

[@VenusTheory]

[@TegaAmrore]

Is it just me or does this guy have the sexiest voice????

[@VenusTheory]

Thanks haha

[@steven6358]

good job Steinberg! A lot more like these please 🙏🏼

[@ravomusic502]

*Cubase* Its Amazing My Friend....✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@memphiswillcox2864]

Great 👍 video!!! Well done and easy to understand!! Thank you 🙏

[@MrMikomi]

There's so much of value packed into this short video. Many thanks.

[@djmad]

You should do radio or tv voiceover. Great video. I’m guilty on not using retro to its full capacity. Thanx. Cubase 11 around the corner. NO DANGLE

[@VenusTheory]

I do voiceover work on occasion actually haha. Definitely don't overlook Retrologue - although on the surface it might seem a bit simple it's very capable of a large range of complex sounds if you understand the different modes/features. Flux as well is a lot of fun for some wavetable madness!

[@DontGoToHell]

why didnt you cubase just give 808's to us as presets?

[@bmh770]

I'm a bit in the past and I've only just searched how to create 808s so I can create my own and not paying for samples.. I was surprised to see you using retrolouge.. I have retrolouge so I will be creating instead just downloading samples.. thanks you lot

[@fdre3wsd]

how to automate the glide time like he says at @6:14

[@foxitallrecords]

Is the custom preset we created via your walkthrough the same settings as the preview 808 sound you played at the beginning of the video? I created an identical preset as your walkthrough explains but it doesn't sound like your previewed 808 sound. Was there plugins on the master bus or anything different? Great tutorial either way, and thank you for your help!

[@artomystic]

The best. Thank you for this, now i can kill my songs with awesome 808's

[@mgmthegrand]

Hi. Thank you for the content. Please help. How do I route MIDI to Retrologue so that I can use the arpeggiator and other effects of Retrologue on sounds from another VST?

[@victornoagbodji]

🙏 🙏 😊 excellent and clear explanation! thank you.

[@VenusTheory]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AyeeKyro]

i thought Retrologue 2 came with Cubase 10/10.5, i downloaded and installed it yet it wont let me use it because i need a license?

[@jonnyreid7823]

Well done and clearly communicated. Thank you!

[@VenusTheory]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sinhalatechbytes2045]

chek your white balance!

[@Smitty-op4ld]

This is for mobile?

[@kjackkjackkjack]

You the man….🙏🥶

[@yoadrianjams]

Is it possible to convert a guitar into 808s?

[@Film-Macher]

Nice. really nice. very good Sound Design. You nailed it!

[@gvinemusic]

That’s explain it appreciate it

[@Victor-lo6dg]

[@barlev5]

[@VenusTheory]

[@td1494]

Geralt of rivia voice

[@jamesmatthews3749]

Once you have this sound how do you make it sort of "fall away" and decay like he has in the demo at the beggining?

[@mwiemanu]

Very good video. This is, what I need 😜🤟

[@mdee2581]

Cool video thx! Unfortunately my Retrologue doesnt work correctly, i am running Cubase 10.5 on a pretty new iMac but my Retrologue is always crashing on me when i m using it. i already updated my Cubase Version before but its still doing that. does anybody know? how can i fix this?

[@kabervasuki]

Try posting to the Steinberg official forums.

[@smurfbeats44bpm69]

Whats the Name of the second vst ? Great Video 👍🏼

[@Cubase]

It's Quadrafuzz, another Cubase effect plugin that is explained more in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3XShZ-gl5x1eNk

[@apfelmeerschweinchen58]

What a great Tutorial!!! many thanks!!!

[@VenusTheory]

Thanks so much!

[@naldibeats2487]

Thank you

[@whenwetalkpodcast1293]

Thank you for posting. I’m getting a little click sound at the end of the note. How do I get rid of it?

[@zacharywhite5466]

adjust the release on the amp and filter envelopes. longer attacks = less click

[@whenwetalkpodcast1293]

Zack White thank you!

[@fifthquarter4785]

great video. Your "Instruments" track sounds crazy. Did you slow down the audio (ie. halftime or gross beat) or did your pads and instruments just have that sound naturally? Great track as well.

[@unisonproto]

He showed it in the first tutorial. He converted a Wurli to audio then reversed and slowed it down in half with tape algorithm.

[@fifthquarter4785]

@@unisonproto Thanks

[@gilormsplay]

Good snappy tut.

[@freiseineinssein92]

How can I get these nice looking colors on my meter?

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! You can customize the meter colors under Edit > Preference > Metering > Appearance

[@darbomusic]

Nice video 👌💖

[@evyatarshaltiel493]

how do i get to the post processing bar on 6:45?

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! That is Quadrafuzz which is a stock Cubase effect. Should be under the distortion category!

[@youwhaat]

Thank you!

Good stuff Boss!!!

[@VenusTheory]

Thanks!

[@HIT9PROJECT]

still really bad compare to FL

[@unisonproto]

Cubase is harder to learn but has many more features than FL. FL is designed for hip-hop or EDM, Cubase works great for all genres.

[@HIT9PROJECT]

@@unisonproto i am cubase user for 10 years now, I won't change. But it is not understandable that they don't adapt faster to the best feature of other DAW. Cubase 11 fix some of it, but 150€ for an update it is a scam !!!

[@unisonproto]

@@HIT9PROJECT just wait for summer sale and it will be under $100. I do agree they could be cheaper, but I'd argue you get what you pay for. For example frequency EQ is much better than FL's EQ.

[@HIT9PROJECT]

@@unisonproto still not as good as Fabfilter Eq is. Not worth the price at all.

[@rocksrrpcodm]

Thanks

[@VenusTheory]

Glad you liked it!

[@mikeseville4707]

6:45 how to open that thing please? I cant find where is it

[@Maesje1]

Go to the Retrologue audio track. Click option Audio insert. There you will find Quadrafuzz v2

[@SnowstrikeZz]

@@Maesje1 be more specific, I can't find it

[@cgivfx3d]

I can listen to this guy all day. 👍
