By popular demand, I decided to make my Logical Editor recipes available to all of you for FREE here: www.domsigalas.com/store/cubase-logical-editor-commands-pack-14-useful-recipes Since there is no specific way to import these to Cubase, please read the instructions, but you might have to do some research on where to copy them on your specific system (which is the reason why I didn't share in the first place!). Enjoy and feel free to modify those and make them your own. Cheers, Dom

Hey man, can u send me details about your lighting? Id love to get the same lighting in my studio !

Dom, my Monogram setup is en route and will arrive any day now. I cannot wait to map Cubase Logical Editor actions and key commands to my new Monogram buttons and wheels. I used the discount code you gave us - much appreciated. I think it goes without saying that if you go nuts mapping cmds to your Monogram controllers, every creative on the planet would love a video on it …

[@warp9988]

I might be able to make an installer script for these.

[@danielsohun9407]

Hi Dom, Thank you for your sharing, the installation went well in Cubabase 10.5 but the color change doesn't work. Do you think colorization doesn't work because I'm on version 10.5?

[@soundsuitestudios-b-9723]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing. For a long time, I felt that I made the wrong choice with Cubase, but thanks to your videos, I see that I've made the best choice. In fact, after watching your video on Cubase 11 yesterday, I upgraded to it without the usual hesitation I've gone through in the past. Thanks so much for your generosity. And yes, I found the logical editor quite daunting and haven't used it. That changes today.

[@Thisninjascared]

Trust Cubase Is the best daw hands down

[@irenashiloh8808]

Are you kidding? 😊 Cubase is a gift from heaven and a lot of professional producers and film composers use it. It's the number one competitor to pro tools and it's the primary choice of most solo/home studio professional producers. (You don't know what you have! 😄)

[@vincenttohier7268]

Dear Dom, I knew about the logical editor. My music computering teacher, back in France, in the Conservatory I was, was teaching us Cubase. I'm using the Logical editor, as an Orchestal mockup and movie composer, to add some "real player randomness" to midi events (like, +10/-10 velocity, +10/-10 ticks in positioning). I'm also having it for "rainbow colorize" my tracks (you select a track, then start the logical editor, and boom, every following track after the one you select is colored with the last color+1. It's beautiful. I'm also using the hide empty tracks when my 5000 tracks (midi, Audio, VCA, FX all together) Orchestal template is a bit heavy to handle. And at the end of a project, to relieve my computer, I'm using the delete empty track command. Of course, all of this put in macros !

[@mirzaaljic]

One thing I use in Logical Editor regularly is to randomize velocities on off-beats for more realism on drums or ostinato string runs.

[@hervem.arviwan6632]

Interesting :-) Could you "show" us how please ? Thanks

[@mrdali67]

Logical Editor been around ever since the Atari days, and its SOOO usefull when working with midi events, like when you fast create a static drum track on your keybed/controller using fixed velocities and timings .. this is not very interesting, but you only have to make a couple of logic presets once, and all you have to do to is press a couple keys to make it "groovey. You can randomize the timings like eg. +/- 5 on eg. hat events, randomize the velocities for certain of beat events, etc. etc. It will take a bit of foot work, but can make your life so much easier. If you often get midi material from clients or your own fast recorded stuff and need to match it to certain software instruments you use, you can very fast get a horrible played midi track that doesn't match your instrument very good to be straightened out so it triggers eg the different sample layers in a useful way. The logic editor is more powerful than most people think, no its not a python/lua script but for most jobs it has enough power to speed up some very cumbersome manual editing, or complete re-recordings to have a useful project in half an hour that would otherwise have taken hours to clean up manually in event/key editor, like straightening or thinning out cc's. It might look cumbersome for some, but it is exactly like Dom shows here pretty "Logical" .. pun intended :) to use. The idea of the Logical Editor goes back to the 80'ies. Its designed as a intermediate advanced power tool without being a Swiss army knife like Python/Lua that not all will have the technical knowledge or interest in to learn.

[@alexjacxsens5134]

Can you stil do it in the new version? I can't find it anymore ...

[@heyiplaybassguitar]

I actually had this issue today. Had a client listen to the mix and ask that the programmed drums rimshot snare hits be a little more varied. I went back and drew in the changes... but would've been a life saver to just highlight them and apply off-beat changes!! Genius!

[@fabriciopipini7890]

[@BelchamberUs]

When Dom starts going and it's not even related to actual music production creativity, he still makes it worth watching -- there's always something to learn.

Wow - I've been a cubase user for 25 years odd and started this video expecting to learn nothing. I use the logical editor. But the colouring is awesome! Thank you. Cubase is such a wonderful program where you can achieve the same result in many different ways some are just better than others. Your method is better than mine! :) Thank you for sharing

[@heyiplaybassguitar]

This was my first time seeing the Logical Editor in action!! I had no idea. Been using Cubase for almost 5-6 years and didn't know that this existed. Super helpful!! The one with the automatic colouring that you did really blew me away. Love the energy and love the videos, as always! Cheers Dom!

Hey guys. Dom's presets work great-thanx heaps Dom. On my PC I added the folder to C:\\Users\\your\_username\*\\AppData\\Roaming\\Steinberg\\Cubase 11_64\\Presets\\Project Logical Editor. I saved a test preset from logical editor & searched for the folder that it was saved into after having trouble pasting Dom's folder into the correct place. :)

Excellent! I learned earlier today that the Logical Editor is the best way to edit track names after rendering virtual instruments.

TOP STUFF MATE, LOVE YOUR TIPS...Work flow is greater with your knowledge

[@joed3483]

You are really showing people the magic of Cubase. Oh gosh… I use the logical editor for all kinds of things…. Removing certain sysex messages. Batch Changing pitch, randomizing velocities, randomizing positions, (for certain plugins that have expressions) adding expressions for certain notes. I would not be a useful producer without this feature. Cubase has so many great features. I usually have all tracks that are bused together in a group track in the same folder. And then I have a track color scheme for the different elements of a song. Drums are red, vocals are purple, vocal effects are light blue. Cubase is really the best DAW.

[@redfordmusicofficial]

Damn! That colour coding trick is AMAZING! I wish I knew this earlier. Awesome, I will use this all the time now! Thanks Dom! You're awesome :)

I've been using the PLE to automatically colour all my tracks for a couple of years now. I have a macro to do all the different groups at once and programmed that to a button on my midi controller to make it even easier. Works like a dream.

[@rachidbendadande9750]

Actually having all these functions on a controller is way time saving.

[@rich_in_paradise]

The logical editor is powerful - up to a point. But getting the level of control you need with just one level of and/or is tricky. I wish Cubase supported an actual scripting language like Python or Lua so we could really automate production.

[@rachidbendadande9750]

I too wish that's available

[@elmo7sharp9]

@@Thisninjascared Yes, I'm serious. REAPER has scripting, CUBASE does not. REAPER is also infinitely customisable. With CUBASE, you're stuck with the way Steinberg made it... ;-) I have used Cubase from the start, running on an Atari ST. I took the decision to use REAPER for very practical reasons and I'm glad I did.

[@OldWiseMan]

Hi Dom, never used Logical Editor before but it looks great I learn so much from your videos. So first thing you do is colorise tracks which captures key words but you might then colorise additional tracks which are not caught by the word filter. Rather than adding everything to the word list, it would be quicker to do other commands based on the colour of the tracks. So workflow - colour all drums red - manually colorise tracks named things not on word list (eg, tabla, doomkick, etc) - then additional commands that are against drum tracks use 'Color Name - Equal - Color 1' then every command doesn't need the word list updating every time you add a new word to capture you just do it once. I'm sure there may be some reason why this is not a way to do it, but it just seems to make it more maintainable if the colour of the track is the key element.

[@victornoagbodji]

I honestly stayed away from the logical editor for years because it's not intuitive. But I am going to give it another try because what you showed us is just awesome. Thanks so much 😊🙏😊🙏

The Logical Editor has been something I've always really wanted to use. Understanding the editor is a high climb and involves lots of trial and error. Your free recipes are going to be studied in depth soon. Thank you. The Claps instrument you offer is VERY intriguing.

[@Zerpio]

I use it regularly to manipulate midinodes. A trick I use is to take a copy of, say, a bass line and convert the notes to Control Changes. I then send them to a synth so I can manipulate a parameter, node by node. Half and double tempo is absolutely indispensable.

[@rasputin1917]

I have been using it here and there, but just three or four presets I found useful. Didn’t think though it can prove such an effective housekeeping tool as well. Good stuff thanks 🙏

Hey Dom - This is great. I used the Logical Editor Waaaaay back. I'm not sure if, at that time, it could select tracks and audio, etc, but I used it to perform extreme functions on MIDI data 😀 Didn't know it could do all this stuff! Cheers 👍

[@DK-xb4sh]

I use the Logical Editor for all sorts of things. Great tool, but it would be great if it wasn't just displayed in a separate window, but also integrated as a panel at the bottom, like the Mix Console or Accord Pad. If you could then configure the individual commands as macro buttons with shortcuts, it would be even better. Great Work, Dom.

[@jasonalexander5253]

I use the Logical Editor to move the first note of every bar (when audio click is converted to midi) to a different midi note, so the drummer can hear a cowbell as beat one. This saves me heaps of time. I will start using it more; especially with the pack you have done for us. Thank you very much Dom :)

[@drummerforever1]

Hi Dom! This is brilliant thank you so much love all your videos. Here is an idea for a video: When you have to work on a different computer in a different studio, how do you prepare Cubase for your workflow? What do you copy from your own computer that you know you'll need on a different machine? Key commands, preferences, presets etc... It can be easy to miss something. In that regard maybe you could also talk about the way you organise your own cubase and third party presets. Do you put all your own presets, regardless of the manufacurer, in a folder that you made or do you stick with default paths? Boring topic but It can be so easy to get lost. I feel Cubase preset management is confusing and overwhelming. I still haven't found a system I'm happy with for these issues and it can be a real creativity killer.

[@Nathankaye]

Wow! Had many aha moments! You explain it so well. Huge thanks!

[@TheGuacamoleXplosion]

there’s tons of Cubase features which I don’t know of or have never used yet (like regions, or marker tracks). The Logical Editor however has been something I loved already in the early 90s on my old Atari ST ... and was one of the reasons why I never changed to another DAW

[@mrdali67]

That's one of Cubase's strength. There simply isn't any other DAW on the market that has better midi support. Logical editor, Event editor, iterativ Quantize .. etc. No other DAW has as powerfull Quantize and midi editing functions than Cubase. But after all Steinberg also pretty much defined the whole standards of computer based Midi sequencing thing back in the 80'ies. I really tried to learn Studio One as I got it with an interface, and its a great DAW and very tight integrated with Presonus mixers and interfaces, but I simply couldn't get used to it's midi handling. Too much I missed from Cubase.
