Not only is the Cubase mixer good for teaching how to use a real console, it's also a great mixer for us old guys who started on consoles. The similarity between the Cubase Mix Console and analog consoles is one of the main reasons I chose Cubase. I just wasn't ABLE to LOGICally mix as easily with other DAW's, even if they were had TOOLS that were PRO.

I think “Quick Link” would be worth a dedicated section. It’s brilliant. If I e.g. insert a tape simulation plugin that doesn’t have any included grouping option on several channels, I can now select all the channels and control all the parameters on all tracks from just one plugin instance, maybe switch the tape formula on all drum tracks at once? No problem! There are still features sorely missing, though: One much requested is the ability to re-arrange channels in the mixer, independent from the order in the arrange window. The optical separation between channels still could be better. An integrated dry/wet-mix for each plugin slot, like reaper has, would be most welcome. I would love to be able to save my track visibility configurations (for track types) globally . The snapshot function still doesn’t save automation for the plugins afaik, which is crucial. Despite those shortcomings, the mixer is great, and I cannot imagine mixing without a pre section, control room, quick link and visibility agents.

I've been using Cubase since it was just a midi sequencing app on Mac in the early 90's. That's a looong time. And Cubase is still the best DAW in my opinion.

@jonathanwingmusic 8 ай бұрын

I've used numerous DAWs over the years, from Logic to PT to Ableton. I've been getting into Cubase out of an interest for doing more orchestral scoring work and it seems like the best fit for that. I have to say some of the routing and setup feels a bit convoluted as an outsider, but I'm gonna stick with it - everything in this list is really impressive and something I wish I could do every single day in PT or Logic. The searching/filtering/view presets is huge, especially when dealing with large sessions. I also love that utilitarian channel strip tools are readily available without having to add any additional plugins, just like a real console. And the metering is really slick. Thanks for making this video!

The best thing is you have two sets of key commands for this since the project window and the mix console window have the same key commands but separate sets.

#21 Cubase IC Pro! For less than $20 for that app (plus an iPad), not only do you have a touch screen controller for transport, you can move multiple faders at once, create in an instant a load of macro buttons for one touch operation (such a time saver!) so I use it all the time next to my mouse and keyboard, but using a feature of the control room, in an instant on an iPad I select Cue1 (up to Cue4) and I can control that Cue mix remotely when I want to sing or play in a different part of the studio, as can up to 4 performers each with their own mix! How efficient and effective is that for happy performers rather than a long conversation with the producer to adjust each channel volume up and down! It’s incredible! Thanks Dom for a great video!
