Hi Simon. Been using nearly all of your tips, which I fully support and Stream Deck helped to speed up those shortcuts even more - best piece of hardware I've bought for years.. Regarding Tip 15 (Cycle Markers) I have found myself using the Arranger Track for the same purpose as you can also try out arrangement ideas before committing. Instead of the dummy track idea I use folders to organise the various sections and that kills two birds with one stone. Great video and really well presented.

Hi, yes I have a Stream Deck but for some reason never really committed the time to program it with my favourite shortcuts. I think after reading your comment, it may be time for me to revisit! Yep I've used folder tracks as well in the past, which of course can achieve the same result. Thanks for watching!

@@composingacademy8270 Hi Simon. Good refresher. As with previous comment to you, I use the Arranger track instead of the Cycle Markers. Partly due to my ailing eyes - far easier to see the blocks in both Project window and while editing MIDI in key editor. I have the Arranger track on the top project split section where I also park Tempo, Chord, Signature and when needed, the Transpose track - so no matter what track I'm on, these are visually available at all times. To each his/her own favorite workflow tricks. :)

I just learned how to do the multiple controller lanes about two weeks ago. A big game changer for me as I'm constantly going back and forth to adjust the CC1 dynamics.

Yes, I've been dabbling with Ableton Live, but got so frustrated that I couldn't load multiple controller lanes haha!

13:00 holy cow, everybody dings Cubase for the fact that the locators can be flipped the "wrong" way... I had no idea this had real functionality behind it!

Coming from Studio One 6, I've been struggling with Cubase. Whereas my sample libraries install effortlessly into S1, I can't even get them into Cubase. Or if they're there, I can't find them.

@composingacademy8270 2 ай бұрын

Under the 'Studio' Menu there is 'VST Plug-in Manager' where you can select the folders (by clicking the cog wheel) that Cubase will look for VST Instruments - you may find that helps?

I got a common problem in cubase, I use ASIO4ALL to record guitars, my guitar goes through a fender mustang gt amp and they say I need ASIO4all driver. Problem with that is that I get sound only in cubase. It's very annoying if i want to share screen and sound during a call as I can't do it. However in reaper I can with the default wasapi driver...

@composingacademy8270 2 ай бұрын

Yea I have lots of students who have problems sharing their audio from Cubase into another program. There are interfaces which have a built in function along the lines of 'loopback', which makes the whole thing much more easier. Its probably not directly related, but have you tried in Studio - Studio Setup, ticking the 'Release Driver When Application is in Background' checkbox?
