10 MIDI Tips You Should Know About | Cubase Secrets with Dom

[@Jura_JS]

I've already said, and say it again: Dom's videos - is enough reason to buy Cubase

[@Relvoet]

That's why I bought cubase 😋

[@R1PPA-C]

I feel so stupid sometimes when I watch his videos, there's that many functions I never even knew existed until I watch another one of his uploads 🤣.... The alt - trim tool, well the trim too in general, back to the studio I go 💭🤣

[@danieljamesoconnor6800]

Hahahaaaa! Hear, hear!

[@andesneko]

He definitively reinforced the idea of going back to Cubase for me @@Relvoet

[@Byron101_]

Cubase has the best Midi and composing features. No doubt.

[@julienmarocco]

Almost 15 years using Cubase and still learning awesome tricks, this kind of video makes me believe I should invest more time in reading the manual haha Thanks !

[@M4T]

The famous RTFM ! I know the drill

[@malcolmhodgson7540]

There is a manual?……😮😅

[@R1PPA-C]

When human cloning becomes commercialised, my first order will be a Dom! I can have my very own Dom Sigalas sat right next to me in the studio letting me know about all the functions I keep failing to find, lookup, learn or utilise, and of course for personalised BOOMS whenever creativity hits GODLIKE / DOMINATING levels

[@irosdiaries]

😂😂😂That’s the best comment ever

[@R1PPA-C]

@@irosdiariesWell.... We all need '"a little Dom" in our lives. 🤣 🎶🫶🏻

[@timweinheimer1]

Thanks Dom always inspiring revealing Cubase secrets the DAW that keeps on giving .

[@edwardstaszko]

I feel like my internal knowledge base is on a rotation. Every time I see something I used to know, it is as if it new again! I love these quick multiple-topic videos, they generate so many ideas.

[@DEADLINETV]

Awesome Dom! There is always something I pick up from your videos!

[@ivanvenot]

Beautiful!

This was so helpful. Thank you very much! :)

[@xinnor2790]

One of the key things about Cubase that makes it different from other DAWs. MIDI editing. Thanks for the new tips!!

[@joemckechnie]

Excellent as always.

[@mustechnology]

Thanks for Trim tool, Dom! I Never used that) Extremely powerful for Guitar Strum!

[@nikibuz1]

DOMMM EXCELLENT!!!!!!! PLEASE EXTRA VIDEO FOR LOGICAL EDITOR!!!!

[@MohamedElHanoun]

Cubase is the king 👑 of all DAW

[@sashaalexander1833]

Thank you so much! I cannot believe I didn't ever looked at the chord editing panel :)))))) Thank you again and again!

[@bananagoorob]

One important thing to note, when using the MIDI Modifier plugin, you can automate all the parameters which is EXTREMELY useful in certain instances. I use it a lot for programmed drums to automate the velocity for certain parts of the song, like having a verse be a bit more laid back vs hitting the drums harder for the choruses etc. Or like in Dom's example of shortening the length of the MIDI notes, being able to automate that in the context of a song is a great time saver rather than going in and redrawing it all by hand.

[@BelchamberUs]

Thanks for the tips, Dom! Especially the Logical Editor... had no idea what that was.

[@milanpolak]

Always super useful! Thanks Dom!

[@alexpapas99]

Dom is an international treasure!

[@ryde2012]

Nice I forgot about the slice tool to make a strumming 🔥🔥

[@nezbit90]

Dom, these Cubase tips & tricks are great, as the videos are short and to the point. I have been a Cubase user since the Atari ST Days, and I am still learning new ways of doing things. It's an incredibly powerful Daw. The logical editor is an area that I have only really dabbled with in the past, but now I use it all the time for a better workflow.

[@egilgjerde7957]

Awesome, Dom! Thx😊👍🏽

[@BethanyMacLeod-rg6zp]

Saving me with these videos! Making my hobby so much more enjoyable and easy to digest. Thank you!

[@BerkanYanardag-cz6ek]

just one word.. You are fantastic!!

[@Vallosick]

Awesome! Just in time.

[@cesmcmyth]

Nice one. Every video I'm closer to jump from Logic to Cubase. Still not quiiiiiite sure

[@Rachellsea]

I’m watching all your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your experience 😊

[@NotSoWickedElphaba]

Man from 2 to 8 is exactly what I needed a few days ago! I knew there was a way but didn’t have time to look up.

[@DeangerSmith]

fantastic tips Dom, at 8:01 where you hold CMD and click the piano key to select all on that key is amazing, do you know how to do this if you are using a drum map view? So there's no piano there, but kit piece names, it doesn't seem to work?

[@officialiyam]

these videos are so hilariously helpful! 😂 Working all these years so hard and messy and then Dom's all in like "In this video I'm gonna show you how cubase mixes & masters your track in 1 click" YOOOOOOOO

[@dividedbyzero0]

This is such a useful video

[@alexjacxsens5134]

Awesome. Again!

[@bandoli66]

Great! I learned something new and useful!! Thanks.

[@peterradd6836]

SPUH-LENDID!! I could see using the MIDI chip feature to quickly create a hi-hat, or other percussion pattern, eh? Just paint one long note two bars (say) - then chip to the desired note value. Add velocity to taste and VOILA. This would be faster than playing it and quantizing.

[@Mozzywise_fbo]

This is amazing

[@in2gadgets]

Wonderful!! Thank you, Dom!! 🙂

[@AdrianEarnshawMusic]

Great stuff, always learn something new with these videos even after all these years. You sem to have added a new controller to your setup. What is that big slab of a controller in front of you, looks interesting.

[@SubaniJananika]

Superb my sir.❤❤❤❤

[@MrDeki72]

Hi Dom, could you make a separate video tutorial dedicated to Logical Editor?

Dom tells me things I need to know.

[@moemi1000]

Hi Dom, I also thank you for this great video and learned a lot from it as always in the last few years! You have contributed significantly to the fact that I can already work quite well with Cubase today! I would like to get along in the note editing in the Key Editor (CB 12 pro) as far as possible without useing a mouse and am therefore looking for shortcuts, for example to shorten or lengthen a note or to reduce or increase the velocity. Since I have found nothing, I hope now for your help! Best regards from Vienna/Austria

[@Antony-qq1ob3bz3g]

AWSOME

[@mayson2669]

Can I suggest adding the "flex phraser" from Halion as a midi insert...if that's even possible

[@therobinsons8392]

Hi Dom how do I in the score editor " tie two notes of different pitch"

[@vicneve1169]

Great video. But it would really help if this video was chopped up in parts, so I can go to the midi function I need. Now I have to search for it.

[@You4Final]

With the MidiModifier I got my big CC121 Fader to work as a MIDI CC#1 because my Keyboard (Roland XV88) only has a joystick that goes back when I release it. You just have to get another MIDITrack that sends out to the VSTi you want to control.

[@orrinbynum5978]

Hi Dom. As usual you have given us another excellent video with wonderful possibilities to enhance new ideas for our music. However: I do have one question for you to answer for me, please. When you were using the Midi Notes Chopping method, you were able to change midi notes lengths from right to left in value. Is it also possible to change the length from left to right in value to make (dotted eighth notes) in value. I seen a guy name Alex Rome use an example of copying his chord progression to another sound in his music but, he changed the sound of his duplicate chord progression and used (dotter eighth note) chords to follow his first chord progress and it sounded so wonderful to me. I would like to know if the MIdI Notes chopping method could be use in reverse to make dotted eighth notes chords work in the opposite direction, like Alex Rome did in his video. But, I could not figure out how he did that. In your video it looked like this process could some how show me how to duplicate what I seen in another video. So if what I am requesting of you can be done would you please explain in another video on how the MIDI Notes Chopping method can be use to change the (dotted eighth notes) method going from left to right to follow your original chord progression? I sure hope that my question didn’t sound to confusing to you. Anyway, have a wonderful day and that you for another wonderful video lesson on Cubase and what it can do for us. I wish you continued success in all that you do with your music.

[@roszgyurka]

thx!

[@Camilla-y8v]

Hello! Pls give an advise! I’m recording a MIDI-track piano part, using a wire with usb type b and usb a connecting a laptop and Casio px-750, there’s no issue with recording but the playback, no sound comes out of the computer somehow

[@EgoShredder]

I wish the old "Match Quantise" function was put back in Cubase. I used this all the time in the old Atari ST version of Cubase. It quantises based on the feel of your playing done in other tracks / parts. So you can use the feel of the bass part to quantise the drum parts with etc. Worked really well. Just drag the part with the feel you want, over the track parts you want to quantise. Quick and simple and that was back in 1990!

[@ThomsenTower]

Isn't that "groove quantize"?

[@EgoShredder]

@@ThomsenTower That was also available in the old version, but worked differently.

[@Magnus_Loov]

It's not that much slower to just assign a shorcut key to "Create Groove Quantize preset". I have CTR+Shift+Q set for that. I'ts just a matter of pressing that key-combo for your own "source part" and then apply it everywhere with just a "Q". But, ok, dragging and dropping is just one operation so I don't know why they removed it.

[@EgoShredder]

@@Magnus_Loov That would not work, because correct me if I am wrong, you have to create the preset in advance, before applying it to another track part. With the older Match Quantize you could click on any part you had just recorded, and apply the feel of that to another part immediately without the need to create a preset. Far quicker and did not stop the flow of work during a session.

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@EgoShredder It works! You just mark the part and then click that custom keyboard shortcut that creates a Groove Quantize preset. That Preset becomes the preset in the Quantize panel that is immediately active. Whatever is the active Quantize method/value before becomes the newly created preset! Then you can apply it directly on any other part everywhere repeatedly. You can also drag and drop that part into the Quantize panel and it will also do the same thing. But that takes more time to do.

[@rogercabo5545]

I would love to have a feature where I can select any chord, hold a key, and change the chord's harmonic type just by moving the mouse up and down, while keeping the same root note. This would happen without needing to select any type from a menu on the left. By holding an additional control key, the software could play the previous and next chords as well, if they exist. It can be difficult to think creatively about chord progressions, and this feature could provide inspiration at any moment.

[@masumwahid9602]

hi DOM ; here I'm facing an issue about midi event . there are multiple parts in a midi track , like verse 1, 2, 3, or more . i bounce them by bounce midi or glue them as a single event . and export to a location , but when i import it again on project, the becomes apart again like unglued or unbouced event as it was before bounce . how can i solve this ? thanks in advance . THIS SUFFURING ME A LOT. IM USING CUBASE 12.

Mr Dom how can we swing a beat or instrument in cubase?

Hi everyone ! I have a digital piano with a pedal as a controller for Kontakt's Grandeur in Cubase but I can't use the pedal because when I press the pedal the yellow mute symbol is activated and cuts all the audio from the piano. Does anyone know how I set it up?

[@mr.d2022]

How to make the midi notes smaller AND have no space between them. Ive seen people do it in other daws but havnt found a cubase one. For example: you have 7 midi notes across 2,3 bars. How to drag them back into 1 bar without space between them?

[@arupsircar4855]

Instead of going from the beginning of the midi notes.. can midi notes be played in between from any position..

[@geoffswan1254]

Come a long way since Pro-24!

[@njm20music]

HI Dom Can you explain Why this happens, I’m using Halion Sonic7 in Cubase12, I have setup Halion With 3 inputs, the main input, 1 and 2 Midi tracks input 2& 3, I have loaded 3 sounds, I have assigned the outputs I/P main to output main I/P 2 to o/p 2 I/p 3 to o/p 3 inside Halion, I have in the inspector on the Halion tabs assigned the correct out puts to the correct place, I play Midi on input 2, Midi track it shows up in the mixer going out on the activated second channel everything as expected. To clarify, I have 3 separate inputs going to 3 separate outputs working fine, now I want to render in place a MIDI track, I select the MIDI track or the event highlight the MIDI or event and render, what I actually get then is the 3 tracks rendered, my track has the correct data the other two are empty, what `I can’t fathom is why all three render, I have asked even Greg Ondo without response I can't see what I'm doing wrong, I hope you can explain My mistake Cheers Nick

[@BenCaesar]

Cubase would not be the same without Dom, I don't think I'd be using it if it wasnt for his content

[@nayanmoniboruah7099]

Hi Dom, why the grid line not follow my own quantize setting? The quantize work well, but the grid line not follow, it sit the same position? any solution??

[@sumantaart]

When I'm playing a note on my midi keyboard, any plug-ins in my daw are playing a half note down. How to solve this? thank you sir

[@leiocerayt]

I don't have the locigal editor presets for whatever reason (Cubase 11.5.41)

[@ardierr.2525]

thanks Dom, with all of your tips, i feel like for 17 years i'm using cubase like a monkey lol

[@TannerWilson-o3f]

As great as these videos are, I wish Cubase followed other software training programs and had project-based learning tutorials that helped people familiarize themselves with the program instead of just offering 3rd-party instructors with paid access to learning how to use the software. Specializations? Sure those can be paid classes maybe, but for general use and understanding things beyond the Instruction Manual? There should be courses provided, no?

[@ActualKaktus]

When you realize you’ve making your life difficult for months 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for the tips!

[@Zimbilik]

Cubase has everything you need. You just need to find where it’s hidden. 😅

[@PeterPiklMusic]
