Got 3-4 gold nuggets from here. Just wanted to say thanks! Big thanks!!

Hi from Italy! I'm new here, with compliments. I hope you will do a lot of videos like this concerning Cubase and VST instruments, very interesting.

I used to use Sonar 2 😂

Hello Steven. Greetings from India. I have never said this to anyone online but you are certainly the best tutor for Music Production. I have watched many tutorials but yours are unmatched. You are not just good at all the technical stuff but also musically you are a gem. Keep up the good work as I always wish for your success!

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thank you for the kind words ♥

That Explode MIDI Macro is really cool! I made a macro to bypass inserts, sends and channel strip for quick A/B comparisons which helps me a lot!

[@danserogermusic104]

Very good presentation! At 15m17, the "Explode the MIDI" function, I would love to see a video of yours elaborating on that topic, how it enables you to create better transition between the notes "to create beautiful string progressions that have a lot more depth", "building the chords using individual legato patches"...! Etc... Or maybe you already have a video demonstrating that?! New subscriber here!

My dad used Cakewalk in the 90s. My first cipy was Sonar 6 lol. Now, I primarily use Fl Studio and been trying a demo of Cubase. I can't get used to Cubase workflow, though.

[@Steven_Beddall]

RIP Cakewalk 😭

[@arturaravidi]

Reaper forever😊

[@paulg3388]

Amazingly useful as usual !! Thanks :-) I’m off to try all of this immediately !!

[@Allewis55]

Cakewalk was a good introduction to DAWs for me. The logic behind the workflow is similar to Cubase.

..i wish cubase 13 could have track stacks (routing tracks in pt) connected to mixer to expand and collapse..regards

[@АлександрДевятьяров-е7ю]

Hello. Thanks for these tips. BTW Explode Midi doesn't work correctly for me. It's open score editor and exploded not so correctly.. sometimes I was see two notes on one event. Any tips?

[@Si5ive]

awesome tips. thanks!

Hey Steve! Are you with Socan as your main PRO? How do you find them? Are they quick and effective or rather slow and not responsive? In the community producers say it s better to go with BMI since they are more accurate. What do you think?

[@Steven_Beddall]

Well I"m with SOCAN cuz I'm Canadian, and yeah I've got no issues with them. I've also heard that BMI is the way to go if you're in the States but I'm honestly not that familiar with the differences between American PROs

[@jimrogers7425]

I'm curious if any of these are available in Logic, or if that's the main reason for using CUBASE as well as Logic? Cheers! Great video!

[@Steven_Beddall]

Hey Jim, a lot of the simple features I mentioned in this video such as duplicating tracks, time stretching audio and colouring multiple tracks are in fact more intuitive in Logic by default, and I was eager to find a way to transfer that functionality over to Cubase, however... There's some MIDI editing features and multi function commands (macros) in Cubase that Logic cannot touch. When you combine logical editor with macros to effectively customize the functionality to your very specific needs, it really speaks to the power of Cubase. It's fascinating to compare both DAWs. On a surface level, Logic is a bit more user friendly and intuitive by default, but if you're willing to dig in deeper with Cubase you can tailor to your needs to create exceptionally fast workflows.

[@jimrogers7425]

@@Steven_Beddall Thank you so much for your reply! It seems that there is no 'perfect' DAW, only a perfect one for the way that various individuals process data and thoughts. I also feel like many use Logic because the price to features ratio is optimum, while either being willing to put up with the lack of certain features or just learning to put up without them. However, I can see that for those who work a lot in writing for work (whether scoring for games, video, of film... or writing to production sound libraries) that the Cubase features you outlined in this video would be a godsend... but then again, so many use Logic, so it must simply come down to a few things that matter more to some than others. Oh well... thanks again for this video! Cheers!!

[@Steven_Beddall]

@@jimrogers7425 Yes exactly Jim, well said!

[@mustechnology]

Half of the macros are missing by default. Why not post them under the video? There would be real benefit...

[@Steven_Beddall]

Every Macro command sequence is visible in the menu throughout the video, you just gotta copy it
