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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Isn't that "groove quantize"?

@EgoShredder Жыл бұрын

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

@Magnus_Loov 11 ай бұрын

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 11 ай бұрын

@@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 11 ай бұрын

@@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.

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

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?
