Thought I had it sorted (when you play as badly as me, you learn comping fast!), but any watcher of Dom's videos knows that the chances are that Dom knows better. I've been alt-clicking the cuts, and didn't know about the "super easy" dragging. What I really like is that there are always 23 different ways of doing things in Cubase, but Dom's got the experience to know the besT. Those little bonus tips too, knew about versions, forgot about duplicating, never really bothered with delete overlaps, went straight to bouncing. Thanks!

I am definitely getting Cubase as my DAW, since I have found such a brilliant teacher of it in you! (I also like the way they use colours 😅). I am sure other DAWs are good too, but half the problem is learning all the features! When I get it, I will probably end up watching the totality of all your Cubase videos! 😂 I hope KZfaq is generous with you and add revenues, as you have a really brilliant channel! I have learnt video editing and carpentry (!!) from KZfaq, and digital music production is next. Now I have to search your channel for tips on computers that can handle the DAW, VSTs etc, which keyboard to choose and which microphone for singing! I don't know if you cover those topics, but hopefully I can find something in there!

@pumpichank2 жыл бұрын
I've been using Cubase for many many years and absolutely swear by the comp tool. I recently found your channel after upgrading to Cubase 12 and wanting to see what's new. Subscribed and Liked of course! I love that you did the tutorial with bass, since I'm a bass player too! Comp tool makes my bass parts sound brilliant. 😂. I use comp tool for rhythm guitar, solos, vocals, etc. I combine a technique I learned doing bass session work with an amazing producer, which means I almost *never* punch. Here are some more tips I've learned: * Just play through the entire part several times and never stop even if a mistake is made. For a guitar solo, I'll have the guitarist just run through the solo section 4 or 5 times. Once I have a "safe" take or a take with good energy, everything else is bonus. I can use the good take for most of the part and then comp in the tasty licks. Same with vocals and the comp tool is amazing at being able to just drop in an amazing vocal run to spice the track up. For bass, I get a little more obsessive of course - I might record 8 to 10 full takes of the song and then comp together the track. * The only time I'll punch is if one of the lanes just doesn't have what I need. It happens occasionally. It's super rare though, and sometimes depending on the part, I can just lift a bit from some other section, or use VariAudio or Free Warp to fix a little thing here and there. Between all these tools, I'm very efficient at getting really good parts, both from myself and my session players, with very little angst! * I generally always keep the grid on, snapping either to bar or beat. Then I use comp tool to get the coarse grained part I like. After that I go in and tweak things here and there with the grid off, or with a 1/16 quantize, dragging the comp separator bar - another magical thing I love about Cubase. So when you're doing your first pass of comping, just keep the snap on to quickly make your editorial choices. I didn't know about Cmd temporarily disabling the snap. TIL - thanks for that! * Always set up your markers first - it helps you keep track of where in the song you are. Also, I generally build a comp linearly like 4 bars or a section at a time. * I always colorize my editorial choices. I start with the default track background, then as I pick the parts I like, I color them yellow. I might have a couple of comp choices I like at any place in the track and I just color all the good ones yellow. Once I've made my first pass of choices, I listen to the track again from the top and I might choose a different lane here or there, or move a comp point etc. Iterate until you have what you like but don't obsess over it too much. Go with your gut when you have more than one comp choice you love - it'll all work out once you listen to the track in context. After I like my choices, I color them all light green. The reason I do all this is because if I accidentally click on a comp point to change the choice, I'll know which ones to go back to. What I didn't know until today was about the track versions - TIL! Thank you for that, I think it will transform the way I build songs. * Once I've made all my choices, I solo the track and listen to where the comp chooses a different lane. The comp tool is amazing but occasionally you'll end up with a pop of you're crossing lanes. I've been able to comp in between notes or riffs and it's almost always clean out of the box. If you get a pop or other artifact, then you drop in a crossover to get it nice and clean. I also sometimes go through and cut out the parts where the instrument isn't playing, and then fade in and out to get a nice clean noiseless part. I generally don't delete overlaps, but now that I know about track versions I might give that a try. Start with the take that has the best energy and groove, and use the comp tool for "flavor".

After 10 years of music production I wish I knew about this way earlier! I often run many takes of synth patches all run through many effects chains and manually scrub through it all to then arrange the best parts. I learned more about comping since I started a music engineering course this year and they use logic, which I really personally don't like, so knowing how to do this in Cubase will help me out so much at Uni and my own productions! You always teach me new things about Cubase :D Thank you

Hint: If you record in Loop Mode, Cubase automatically assigns Track Versios to Lanes. However, if you record different takes manually (like I do) You need to use the feature'Create Lanes from Track versions': Project Menu > Track Versions > Create Lanes from Versions. It took me a while to figure out why I had no Lanes to Comp even though I had recorded seven different takes...
