Hey Dom! I've been pondering a question that's been on my mind lately regarding my music journey. Despite scouring the depths of the internet for insights through interviews and Q&As, I've hit a dead end in finding a direct answer. I'm deeply passionate about creating music, particularly in the realm of film scores, game scores, etc, blending orchestral elements with synthesizers and more. While I've dabbled in producing music solely on my computer, my background in playing various instruments has led me to compose by ear. While this method has its merits, it poses a challenge when it comes to translating my compositions for live orchestral performances. So, here's my dilemma: Is there a way to compose within a DAW and have it automatically notated for orchestral performances, or is learning traditional music theory and utilizing notation software the only route for such endeavors? Furthermore, what are the essential requirements for composers in the film or series industry who work with live orchestras, and how can I get into the composing world generally? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Love your vids❤‍🔥 Keep up the good work👊

Definitely make tutorials for Cubase, I was actually about to email you about it. Two reasons: You're one of the top pros, maybe the best one to make tutorials for Cubase. And there's a huge need for it because what's out there is extremely varied in quality and it's all more and more outdated for each passing day because of new versions of Cubase. It doesn't take a lot of changes for all old tutorials to become obsolete and frustrating. And a third reason, you never waste a second in your videos and that's invaluable. Whenever I discover in a tutorial there's slow talking or missing the point or skipping of steps, it's so demoralizing I just turn it off.

Yes! Please make Cubase templates. Stock plugins would be fine as I use the stock plugins pretty much all the time. I completely agree with you regarding Logic and Pro Tools. That's my exact take. Logic for MIDI and PT for audio engineering stuff. Music production schools in the US teach you both of those but like you said, Cubase is like both in one DAW.

As Head of QA I have literally all DAWs. Reaper is my choose for it's customization but it's very tough for 90% of users who need pretty GUI and a couple of features. So if no Reaper I would go for Cubase. Or Logic. For live acts Ableton Live is unbeatable and easy to use. Has it's own bugs but still.

And Logic? has NO macros and NO plugin seaching!!! 😅

If Cubase didn’t exist, my creative activity would no longer be the same as it currently is. Of course, I could work with other daws that I know very well, for example Studio One, Logic, but the degree of completeness that Cubase offers today is at such a level that it is not possible to think of doing without it, from midi to audio. Studio One offers a very similar and very respectable type of experience, I can say that it is the direct contender of Cubase. But to this day it is not possible, at least for me, to think of a world without the completeness of Cubase.

There's one German guy providing courses on Cubase and I bought one of them and got gifted another. The problem with those tutorials was that every feature was shown on its own, but never in a real workflow or in a good, creative way. I guess, this is where your approach in presenting features becomes way more accessible and useful than what I have seen so far. Just go though the feature palette and the stock plugins, show some basic QoL tips for Cubase features (including keyboard shortcuts) and how to use them in a real scenario. At the end of the course or each section, you might simply combine all features that you presented into a cohesive summary lesson.

Hi Dom, I'd love (and pay for) a Cubase course you teach that takes a piece from conception to finish, using 100% Cubase tools. You did an amazing job of accomplishing something like that for Cubasis in a single 30 minute video a few years ago. It would be awesome to learn from you in an organized way that's just not possible in a collection of disparate videos, even videos as good as yours. Yes other courses like this already exist - I've taken a couple and they helped. But there is a whole lot more to learn and IMO you're the best communicator in the biz, bar none.

Basic DAW skills, workflow, recording/tracking, music theory, chords, harmonics, melody, rhythms and beat creation, arrangement as a basic course. Then an advance course with sound design, synthesis, and mixing techniques, eq, compression etc, and basic mastering techniques.

I used a Yamaha PSR 280 for awhile. I had a regular studio back in the late 80's, but after a theft, we started just breaking it down and selling the rest. I was left with a DX-100 because I had it at home at the time, and I got a PSS-780 later, which was neat, but not professional. I ended up selling both of them, and just had a piano for a few years. Then in the later 90's I got the PSR-280 and then upgraded from there to a MOTIF 6. I still have the MOTIF, and a MODX6+ and Sequential Pro 3 SE. I also have a stratacaster, with these I can do what I want. Oh, also have Keylab 88 and V Collection, and use Ableton Live.

I think a lot of aspiring composers and music producers spend a great of time in the "ready to launch" phase, waiting for that one break to get their name into the system. Perhaps you would be willing to share what you feel was your "breakthrough" moment and how your career went from there. I, for one, would love to hear it.

To my understanding, when updating cubase to a newer version you're basically installing a new program. How do you go about retaining all of your sample/preset ratings in the MediaBay, keyboard shortcuts, custom presets for vsts, etc.? Are these located in certain file directories, or do you have to make everything over again (hopefully not)?

If I had to "start again", I may use either Tracktion Waveform or Presonus Studio One. If I were in the Mac world, Logic Pro. I was quite pleased with UVI Audio's Quadra Traveller for non-Western music instruments.

Id be interested in templates for pop / dance arrangements and presets for vocals, bass, drums and all the usual suspects like buses, master chain for finish it and or for just send to a master engineer, and also an important thing for my flow is that you would use the plugins YOU would use, meaning if its only cubase plugins Im out of the equation because I only want to use the chain you reaaally would you in the scenario. I understand you are part of Steinberg but If you have to mix a vocal and use eq, comp, etc...put the plugins that offers the best , and those I havent I will probably buy if the demo suits me.

I bought cubase 12 with the idea of making it my main DAW, but i ended up selling it (at a big loss lol). I use Maschine for MIDI and Reaper for audio. I also own FL, Bitwig 5, Studio One 5, and even Ableton 16 track. There are things i like avout all of them, but in the end...navigating in the timeline in Reaper is easiest. And the timeline is where i spend most of my time, so ease of navigation WITH ONLY A MOUSE for editing is my #1 requirement. It seems that all the other DAWs just dont arent very intuitive for editing in timeline. In Reaper Its very easy to scroll, zoom, locate and use tools without having to reach for the computer keys. If Cubase had that, i may have given it more of a chance because it's easily the most feature rich DAW out there. And Dom is right, its under the most active development team of any DAW, so cool new stuff is constantly being added. Thats what drew me to it in the first place. But i also dont get along with the track & routing. But thats not just Cubase, thats ALL the other DAWs except Reaper. I appreciate how in Reaper every track can be anything. MIDI, audio, insert, buss, group/folder...anything. It makes things so much less complicated. That simple feature makes for extremely no hassle routing, and im not sure why no other DAW does that. It seems like it should be a very easy thing to impliment. I also use NI Maschine for MIDI production (and sometimes sampling), so i wish there was a DAW that had both clip and timeline capabilities that is more intutive. Bitwig comes closest and has great midi, but its audio editing features are not as complete as they need to be yet. Reapers biggest drawback is that its just about the worst DAW for MIDI. I hardly even bother using it for MIDI production. It works, but its not a fun time lol

The music production course would be fantastic but only the one that shows how to do radio ready song A to Z. Cause the courses that are still hiding, not showing something and are incomplete are plenty.

Hi Dom, i am sorry i missed this from 2 weeks ago, but there is something in Cubase that i would like to understand what it is for and why? In the Inspector window(section) you have the different tabs for doing certain things. What i would like to know is, under the routing tab you have the section named MIDI CHANNEL & PROGRAM? Could you please tell me what this is, i understand about midi channel(s) but what is the program bit about? I found it in the Cubase manual but all it says is what that is and NOT what it actually does and how and why you could use it? Any reply you could possibly give would be much appreciated! Thank you for your time. Best Regards!

I love Elektron deep sound controls. But I would say Elektron sequencer is too complex to be immediate . I love the power, but the sequencer UI does not work for me .

Hi Dom been following your journey on YT for years. Thanks for your input. Question? Other than your own Drum machine, what do you use for your drum sounds for pop tracks.

I've had Cubase for a couple years since Sonar went belly up. I still can't figure out Cubase. After years using Sonar, Cubase is never-ending source of counter-intuitive frustration. Sonar was bought out and re-tooled as a free DAW by BandLab, but never lived up to the potential of the original system. Now I hear that Cakewalk is working on a return of Sonar as a separate for-purchase DAW. If that does happen, it's the DAW I would use. Until then, I'll just keep plugging away at Cubase.

Love all your work 🥰 Sometimes wish there was a better way to ask you questions that you might answer, possibly by posting in a blog or some sort of news feed. eg, the SSL-UF8 is it better integrated with Cubase since your video a year ago?
