🤯 The New CUBASE 12 🤯 My TOP 5 FEATURES!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Phase coherent multi-track audio warp is my favourite new feature without a doubt. Just made a video myself on using the Cubase 11 version to edit drums but this new feature is so much better.

I’ve upgrad it! Like it. Thanx for your walkthrough. Always fun to be watching and learning. Roots on!

[@yashgarg.official]

It's really amazing to see how excited and and supportive cubase community is. There are many daws out there and Ableton live and others are even more popular than cubase. But the excitement and love alot of producers have for cubase is just on another level it seems (including me). I think the reason is that we discovered cubase as our last option and it's so good that we started to like it so much haha!

[@MohamedElHanoun]

I Loved the Warping Features Very Useful Thanks

Thanks you!

[@andesneko]

I really like how it shows a colored line to know the difference between your hardware current status and the actual Cubase value in the MIDI control so you can safely work even without endless encoders.

[@therantingboy]

That Chord to midi functionality is going to be a gamechanger!

[@amdenis]

We really like the new version, and are still learning new things new since 11 Pro. Doesn’t look like it will sway those working with Reaper and Pyramix/Masscore + Flux , but still a WOW upgrade.

[@kdcyp]

Great video Chris! Steinberg should pay you a solid commission for the extra sales that will come from such a professionally clear & well explained demonstration of their new features. That audio to Chords track is fantastic and would have saved me valuable time recently when collaborating. I'd never written down the chords to a song I wrote a while back so had to actually play my guitar again to remember them and write down with the timing but now it would take no time at all to get the chords to the collaborator, besides the main intended benefits of having those chords entered for MIDI. I usually wait for bugs to be ironed out but I want this upgrade now from 11 pro for this and other features!

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks a lot Ken! Glad you like this video :-) Yes, the Audio to Chord feature is awesome!

[@davidmcnamara7928]

Many other videos go over these new features as well BUT it's still worth watching this one! Chris (and the other top Cubase people) always point out some things not covered by others. No one has time to go over everything!

[@musicforworldpeacerecords324]

I recently upgraded to Cubase 12 pro from 11 pro. My absolute favorite feature is being able to extract chords from a mixed audio recording.

[@ciscofuentes1428]

That Verve instrument is similar in controls to my favorites on Native Instruments like Pharlight and others so I'm gonna really enjoy this one also

[@FredsGratisScores]

I purchased v11 in January so I'm eligible for the grace period upgrade. BUT.... even if I wasn't, I'd upgrade for the audio to chords feature. That's HUGE for me since about 1/4 of my projects nowadays come from other artists where there's rarely any MIDI data to be able to determine the chords. I will say I'm a bit disappointed I don't see any improvements to the expression maps negative delay problem.

[@2RStudios]

that multiwarping and scale assistant in variaudio were a big need! already upgraded! thanks for showing Chris

[@mixdownonline]

Any time!

[@realraven2000]

I could really have used multi-warp with the last project, bunch of DI+Mic recordings of guitar and bass. I tried to get tight recordings out of the session guitarist, but there is only so much you can do under time pressure - This is so going to accelerate my workflow, it's great! Also kudos for showing the phase problems when you just use group warp markers...

[@mixdownonline]

This is a powerful feature :-)

@@jusssi9570 you cut off the left side of inspector, so it's not helping. there is a keyboard shortcut for grouping tracks.

You can add remove these buttons by right-clicking a track and choosing "Track Control Settings...". There is also a fixed shortcut in the edit menu: Edit / Group: Ctrl+G Edit / Ungroup: Ctrl+U

Any way to save/import/export mappings (not scripts) of vst plugin parameters so they can be easily loaded into new projects? EG: I’ve programmed 24 Padshop parameters (that’s in addition to the Focus QC’s)-but have to disable the Midi Remote and return to the Generic Remote now because MIDI Remote doesn’t “file” these…?? Always enjoy your vids.

[@_Shinique]

Yay, no more annoying dongle. It's about time. I have already switched to Studio One but the update looks interesting.

[@dani.papaya]

😲😲😲Audio to Midi as easy as this??? Midification?!🤪 This is insane!!! I researched this option along the internet a decade ago starting to use Cubase Elements and couldn't find anything near this feature anywhere.. a friend was laughing about my fantasy, telling me that it would be technical impossible hahaha! Remember it so clear, but now the time fantasies become reality has arrived! Thank you Chris for the nice research and cool demonstration!👏🏽🎆🎧🏆🎊

[@alexanderaddy786]

Thanks for the explaining,.... bought Cubase 12 Artist last week...... used Cubase 5 and LE4 before ..... glad I bought the new one Cubase 12 together with a midi control board with 8 chanels.... so we are going to clean up my PC to install Cubase 12 and it's features... and let CUbase 5 on the Disk.... I am curious how it is to use a new DAW....

[@YASIR.K]

Super thanks Chris

[@TheLegendaryOfficial]

Hi Chris, Thank you for this great overview. it convinced me to do the upgrade. One question: i also have the Arturia keylab 49 Essential, and while the faders and transport control works, i seem to can not assign the big user buttons on the left. i would like to assign record enable / monitor enable on Focus of a track, but if i try and do the assignment, it won't react on me pushing those buttons. Do you have the same problem? Thank you for your time, and thank you for your great videos, they are incredibly helpful!

[@igrvasil]

Cool Thank you!

[@Amosjuney]

Thanks Chris for your review !!!

[@mixdownonline]

Any time

[@ciscofuentes1428]

That chord track for audio is going to be super creative to play around with! Also I believe you can quantize the audio track (like acoustic guitars) quickly with audio warp right?

[@mixdownonline]

Yes you can but you will need to add the Warp points yourself

[@AnthonyWatsonMWArts]

Thanks for the great breakdown. MIDI remote integration, multi-track free warp, and VU meters in Supervision make it worth the upgrade for me. And getting rid of my really, really old dongle (which I always forgot when I went on the road!) is huge for me.

[@mixdownonline]

Couldn't agree more!

[@robg.2172]

So many great integration upgrades and new features! This will really be great for creativity and workflow - thanks Chris!

[@mixdownonline]

You're very welcome!

[@martinjohn2823]

Well I held out until 23.57 until I thought "nope. can't resist any longer" and went and purchased it. Very excited! The MIDI controller mapping is likely to be very helpful, I have found it a bit fiddly in Cubase 11 and earlier versions. I've been desperate for multitrack audio warping for a long time. It's going to speed up certain workflows no end. And then the FX modulator got me sold. Looks very exciting.

[@mixdownonline]

Enjoy!

[@mhb450]

The multi channel audio warping with phase cohesion.... awesome!!! Just in time for a new project. I was doing this with more of a chop method. Audio chords to midi, good workflow improvement, it will make working with a chord track actual useful for me. Scale assistant in Variaudio, me like! Good for melody development in the writing process. I am looking forward to it!!!

[@mixdownonline]

So I think you're gonna have a lot out of this version :-)

[@MrArchie800]

It's easy to take for granted what you can get for relatively little money these days, I can remember using Cubase on an Atari synced with an Adat, chuck in a basic mixer and a few effects processors and you'd be lucky to get any change back from £10,000 .

[@iam-music]

Great overview Chris...just the right tempo ;-)

[@mixdownonline]

Awesome, Thanks!

[@kennethgreen2829]

I am glad that you are so wildly positive about Cubase Pro 12 but the reality is different. yet again they have rushed out a new version that is full of bugs and incomplete features, yet again there is no tech support, yet again they refer users to the Cubase forum but yet again NO Cubase staff are there to help and long term members say that Steinberg staff are hardly ever in there. It feels to me that they have rush released a beta version instead of taking the time to get in right once and for all. The MIDI Remote IS a GREAT idea but it has been implimented in a half ass way and does not go deep enough, thats if it works at all. I have THREE midi controllers, a Arturia MiniLab Mk II, a SSL UF8 and a Korg nanoKontrol Studio. NONE of them are supported in MIDI Remote, whats that all about? The UF8 is arguablly the top level controller for DAWS and yet Cubase Pro 12 does not support it? Its a total joke. They should do it right or not do it at all.

[@keyboardtek]

I am still using a 26 year old version of Cubase on an ancient Powermac 8500 for simple MIDI sequencing and it does everything I need and it is very quick and simple to use. I built a custom PC to be a tone generator and installed all my VST instruments onto it. But eventually that old Powermac computer will die and I plan to install the newest version of Cubase on the modern PC that has all of my VST instruments. In this new version, is the ability to customize the layout very comprehensive? Can features one never uses be shut off or hidden?

[@ragingchimera8021]

Thanks for the overview Chris, seems like there are some legit ease of use updates in this version.

[@gustavodinis]

Hi Chris! Do you know what are those white markers on left of the mute buttons? Some tracks of my projects have and others dont. Thank you!

[@mikaelhatzis]

Thanks Chris. You are amazing. I've been working with Cubase for many years, but you have taught me so much. Very grateful for your talent, enthusiasm and dedication. One quick one. I have created an Chort track for one of my guitar tracks, which is insane. I attached a HALon keys, and amps everything up. Amazing tool. However, when I tried to create another Chord track for another audio track, it wouldn't allow me. It just replaced the original audio track chords. Can I do this for multiple audio tracks, polyphonic? Grazie mille

[@AMBIOSIS]

Hi Chris, just to say I enjoy your KZbin channel tremendously. I also have just updated to Cubase 12 Pro and it's fantastic. I was wondering if you would do a short video on the Korg Kontrol 2. It would be great if you could start from the beginning, like say, from firing the Kontrol 2 up. Do I hold down the two buttons for Cubase before I plug it into my computer? Then there are the Korg Kontroll Editor setup, what is the procedure before firing up Cubase 12 Pro? I did have it set up in Cubase 11 Pro and it worked fine when loading up Kontakt 6.7.0. The Korg Kontrol 2 seems to have thrown a wobbly and is all out of wack. I have tried several times to change the CC settings within Cubase, and I also changed them in the Korg Kontrol Editor. Oh please help Chris, my brain is getting a little too old for it. lol.

[@deuterusprod]

Hi Chris, thank you very much for your video and tutorials. I was wondering whether you knew of an effective way to be able to use all the synths that have been removed from Cubase 11 (Prologue, Spector, Mystic and LoopMash). These no longer work on Cubase 12 and Steinberg gave hardly any explanation or warning to existing clients. There have been some solutions provided in the Steinberg forum but these do not seem to work in the long run. Any ideas? Cheers.

Hi Chris, Cubase 13pro is a nightmare with midi remote. Do you happen to know how to setup transport buttons in midi remote for the KEYLAB 49 MK2, they are not being picked up?

[@JimAlfredson]

Phase coherent audio warp is great but why require a button press to do it? Why not make that the default? I can't imagine a situation where you wouldn't want your warps to be phase coherent if you're editing multiple tracks at the same time. Also, the audio to MIDI is neat but how accurate is it? The guitar chords sounded a bit more complex than what it detected. The C chord, for example, sounded like a Cadd9 to me, not just a regular C triad.

[@mixdownonline]

You only need phase coherency if you're editing a multi-mic instruments, like live drums or a guitar amp with 2 mics. You don't need phase coherent it your editing a bass + single mic guitar recording + a vocal to fix a timing issue for example :-)

[@mixdownonline]

Audio to Midi works great for what it is, there's always room for more precision, but if you can hear a Cadd9 and not a regular C chord, I don't think you need that tool :-)

I’m using a drum map for a drum software instrument that doesn’t conform to GM. When I play or load MIDI files into the arrange window everything works as it should, transposing the right amounts on playback to achieve the MIDI note assignments that I’m used to. However when I play MIDI files from the Media Bay through the drum software instrument channel, the drum map is ignored and I can’t hear the beats because the drum module does not transpose the MIDI files to the desired target register. Any ideas how to get around this? What I want is for the drum map to recognize the MIDI notes coming from the Media Bay and transpose them in real time to the register of my drum module. If that’s impossible is there another way to achieve the transposition?

Great video again Chris!! For me, in this update Steinberg is addressing the recent phenomenon which is user dropping Cubase for Reaper. I Say this because a lot of the new features seem to be inspired by Reaper. Tell if am wrong but that's my perception!!

[@kaanyavuzel7941]

Hi. For some reason a whole bunch of my VSTI's (Battery, Keyscape, Trillian etc) have unnecessary gray areas around the usual instrument display. "Allow Window To Be Resized" is selected, never had this issue with 10.5 or 11. its really Peeing me off as it taking too much screen space. I'm usually able to have multiple windows open but the way it is at the moment I can barely have 2. If I press "VST quick controls" on and off, it gets rid of the unwanted areas but once u close it and re-open it, it goes back to the old screen so I have to repeat the same process of switching "VST Quick Controls" on and off again. I'm sick of doing this for each instrument, is there a setting where I can get rid of this?

[@mixdownonline]

Not sure I understand your question

[@nicksaya]

I have question. Why when doing a multibounce am I seeing all meters moving during the passes? I wish that Cubase would only read each pass in the session. The bounces would go so much quicker. For example. I selected all tracks I want to bounce. They are going through full path But I can see the dialog saying kick drum but every track in mixer is lighting up as if the full mix is playing. Why is this? It is in fact printing separates but taking 4mins per bounce. Am I missing something? I’m on 2019 Mac Pro tower 16 core 96 gigs of ram. A lot of plugs in session nothing on master bus.
