More on the Loupedeck with Cubase pleeease! This is the ONLY video I found showing Cubase. Perfect solution for those of us who do video Premiere Pro and audio with Cubase 🤩

I’ve been using Cubase for 10 years and your channel is constantly teaching me new and cool stuff. Appreciate all your video tutorials and demos like this

I do love the CC121. I've never been good with key commands but this really speeds things up, especially opening the VST instruments, which I use all the time

DOM....Make right away a vid about LOUPEDECK CT controller, PLEASE ...that looks pretty impresive. THANKS for this video

Yes to Loupedeck video! Thanks for all the informative videos.

Killin' video as always Dom! Awesome work!

Dom, I'm really interested in the Loopedeck CT, so I would like to see a more specific video about it!

Thank you, Dom for another great video! We would like to see individual videos for each controller. Stay safe!

Love the customisable Loupedeck. I use Metagrid on my iPad which has a similar approach and can add anything from CC & note data, keyboard shortcuts and even Logical Editor presets.

Dude! Who wouldn't love to see a detailed review on that loop deck! Looks very promising.

i love my CC121......i only wish there was a way to operate the low and high cut pre filter buttons and it would be awesome if the function knob acted as an Alt button for the four function knobs which would allow us to have eight functions assigned instead of just four..... i use it for 1 and 2: set snap value up or down, 3: activate and deactivate cycle follows range markers and 4: open/close right zone and the function knob controls my main mix volume... i'd be interested to know more about how the banks option in the 121 work because i haven't got a clue

You have very nice informative channel helping us all to get more from our device.

Is there any good tip for the midi editor like ghost scale or tips on the chord track ? Thanks for all your videos you are a big help

Another great vid to help me decide my move from Studio One. I asked in your Mixer vid, but this is more relevant here... 1. Does the CC121 keep you off the mouse and keyboard for the most part? Does the pan work with the panning & width of the combined panner? 2. I'm also considering a Console 1 and Console 1 Fader combo. I know you don't have the Fader, but what would you miss if you only had the C1 and not the CC121? 3. I have a lot of 3rd party, non Softube plugins, like the PA SSL plugin you used the CC121 on. Have you mapped any 3rd party plugins to the CC121 or C1? If so, is it a similar experience to controlling Cubase or Softube plugins? Thanks!

I got mine when it came out too. Love it.

Please can make a video about the detailed use of "Softube console 1MK2".. Thank you Dom !!😃👊

Great Video! And YES....please make dedicated reviews of each of those 3 controllers, as well as the TC collection you have peeking over your shoulder.

Hiii Dom.. just can't wait to see how exciting this gets just as all your other stuff... Specially wanna know a reasonably priced controller for the cubase mixer.. God bless & Love from Sri Lanka... Rezi Ahamed...!

Hi Dom. I considered the CC121 and Softube Console 1, however, I have just bought a NEKTAR Panorama P1 Control Surface and I must say it is a fantastic piece of kit . It works brilliantly with Cubase Pro 10.5. It maps really well and has an easy learning curve. I wasn't expecting this controller to work as well as it does but it really is worth a look and is another one to consider. Great value for money too being considerably cheaper than the CC121 or the Softube. Cheers.

I love Softube Console 1 and their faders! I use them all the time!

PEace Dom! I would LOVE to see a Loupedeck CT tutorial.

Thank you so much for your video!! Very informative and well done! I'm still trying to setup for quality live music streaming. Do you do live sessions? And what's your setup/flow for being able to do so (playing for your audience, talking to them, ability to listen to yourself play via headphones or monitors without doubling up, etc) thank you!

Groovy video. Thanks.

4:05 I KNEW IT! Lol! I never worked with the CC121 but I have to say that the AI Knob must be very nice to work with. Awesome video Dom, you Rock!

Yes, a video on the Loupedeck would be great. Does the software for it allow you to control the speed/acceleration of a knob that is mapped to any zoom setting?

I'm up for an in depth review of the Loupedeck CT and Cubase. Been considering it for a while to use with Premiere Pro, Lightroom and AE. Nice reviews dude

Dom, I recently bought a Tascam model 12 mixer that also acts as an interface and Cubase Daw controller using Mackie Control to connect both. All works, transport controls work, panning, record enable, etc all works as expected. The problem I have is when I load up a vst to any Cubase track, the Model 12 fader for the track raises and lowers volume, but at the same time it seems to raise and lower the pitch for the loaded instrument. It’s like the faders have both velocity and pitch controls assigned to it. Is there a setting I can check in Cubase to disassociate pitch mapping from the Mod 12 faders?

You got in my head, man. After this video I ordered a CC121 then quickly ended up grabbing a used Console1 mk2 with the Fader 1 combo- within 24 hours.

Hey Dom, A deeper dive into your experience with Loupedeck would be highly appreciated! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about CC121 and Console1, too! :-)

I very much would like to see a video on Console 1! I have one and would love to see how you are using it with Cubase. Do you use it on Audio/Instrument tracks only or do you also use it on Groups/FX channels (or Masterbus even)? Tips and tricks are appreciated! Also, I wonder if you can use the CC121 with the new Cubase comparison EQ? I am thinking of buying one after seeing this video. Thanks for another great video!

I'd love to know more about how you use and customise the Loupedeck Dom

I have another perhaps silly question. I am really new to being able to do quality recordings. I want to invest in hs8 monitors and understand that it gives the true, flat sound you need to hear. When I am mixing on the montage and cubase, will I be able to hear the effects I put into place like reverb, resonance, shape, depth, decay, etc through the monitors? Or do they inhibit the sound I'm trying to make? I assume I must take into account that consumer speakers will amplify certain frequencies and with monitors, I should mix using less of certain effects that I would use before because currently, I'm using consumer surround sound speakers. And from what I understand, are built to add bass and other ear pleasing frequencies.

Hi Dom, thanks for this video. I have CC121 and was wondering what other surface to buy, your input was great, I've ordered a softube. Please make a video on Loupedeck CT.

Man, I wish cubase would make dedicated controllers again! That ableton push is such an INCREDIBLE demonstration of what's possible. Sometimes I'm trying to get some controller to work and I just feel like selling every damn thing and getting the Push 2 and a good laptop 😂

Did you ever make a full video dedicated to LOOPDECK CT? I am thinking about getting one because of it's compatibility with all the programs I use. It supports Cubase and I LOVE THIS.

Ordered a Steinberg CC121 before you finished explaining how it work hahaha. Nice upgrade for my TP+AI controllers :) Thank you Dom!!

Using the Stream Deck and I love it. Just waiting for Dom to fully review the Loupedeck CT. I rely on Dom's opinions to make studio purchases. Thank you my friend.

On my side I control Cubase with a combination of Avid Artist (using Eucon protocol), which is pretty limited integration wise, but I love the 8 motorized faders + the LCD screens which allow me to look where I am in my session without looking at Cubase, and a Stream Deck XL from Elgato, which I use in combination with Keyboard Maestro for very advanced macros.

You are great!Super Dom Sigalas!Respect!

When you scrolled with the Loupedeck, it looked as though it kept going. Then when you did it the other way, it went back to zero. Is it possible to scroll the dial slowly (or quickly) without it being in "runaway" mode? Meaning, I would be able to quickly scroll the dial to a place I want to edit, and it stops when I stop? Like the jog wheel on the faderport v2? I'm hoping yes, because I love all of the utility to be had with this unit. I REALLY hope to hear from you, and thank you for always making GREAT videos!

On my CC121, I use the assignable buttons to zoom in/out and up/down. Huge time saver.

Did you ever make a full video on the Loopdeck CT with Cubase??? I would REALLY like one! 🙏🏽

Hi Dom, I wonder if the knobs on cc121 can be assigned to other plugins like a ssl channel strip? Can I use the eq knobs on cc121 on another eq?

Great vid! A video on the Console One would be cool, please ;)

Hahahaha......I was looking for a way to control my metronome volume about an hour ago. I've had a CC121 for years and didn't realise you could do that. And I only clicked on this video by accident! Thank you.

CC121 is like a tank. I had my for over 10 years and still my favourite for Cubase. Highly recommended.

OK very cool video, Dom! If you make more detailed video about SoftTube Console, it is will be very great !

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to assign custom key commands in Cubase to VST functions, for example assigning a certain key on the computer keyboard to switch a guitar effect on and off etc? If so, how? Thanks.

Thank you very much for your video! I work with Cubase 10 pro. Can I use cc121 to record and modify the MODULATION (MIDI CC1) or EXPRESSION (MIDI CC11) in Cubase? If it is possible, can I modify the Modulation and Expression in already recorded MIDI tracks? Thanks!

Great video Dom. I'm a user of the CC121 and have been for many years. It was a great investment. It was nice to know that you use it and have been for many years too. I think I might re-assign one of my function buttons after watching what you do with yours! 👍 Just a side note Dom. I have mentioned it in the comments of your A/B video (which you link to in this one) for reference tracks. You need to make clear that the blue button marked Cues (in the Control Room) needs to be to activated for it to work as you have shown in the video. Just a thought... 😉

Hi, love all you videos... Does your transport controls work with the Loupedeck CT? My doesn't work. Do you know this issue? Best regards

If Softube was smart, they would send Dom a fader ASAP! Thank you for another awesome video.

The Loop Deck looks amazing! I would be interested in seeing more of it

About Loupedeck. Does it work also to control VST and automation via midi signals with the knobs ?

Great video thank you, just getting back into music production after many years away from it. Gonna look into the Steinberg controller. Also, love the look of the keyboard you have, where did u get it from? Thanks again :D

Thanks Dom. I'm digging the typewriter button keyboard : ) I'm using the discontinued Steinberg CMC controllers (CH, QC, and PD). You can still find them on ebay sometimes. I wish Steinberg would come out with a faderport like controller or a cheaper nuage alternative. What do you think about the Softube 1 Fader?

Great video Dom. I've used many controllers too. Mackie MCU are junk, used several of them and they die after continuous use (backlights and faders). Just switched to the SSL Nucleus2 for console-like control. I still require two hands worth of faders during mixing! Console 1 is on the list as a nice plugin interface (use a lot of UA plugins here). Also have the StreamDeck, which is a great little macro button controller for both Cubase and Wavelab and relatively inexpensive. A bit like the Loupedeck, but smaller and also fully customisable with LCD buttons and pages.

Dom, thanks for the vid! My 2 questions concern Loupedeck, and I want only one controller on my desk: a) do I get the basic CC121 transport and metronome usability also on Loupedeck in a good way? b) can I manually change the English keyboard layout to my German one, changing the original Loupedeck Cubase template after importing it?

Dom I am interested in dedicated videos for the softube , thanks for your passion for music and sound!!!

I use an old Mackie Control and are happy with it. I decided for years for the Mackie Control because I need the ability to solo and mute several channels at the same time which isn't easy with a one channel controller.

Loop deck looks very interesting ... hey dom i need an help on the cubase.. i was drawing notes on 6/8 time signature at 70 bpm, snap on grid, Grid type is beat, on a 1/8 dotted note.. my problem is grid lines or the quantize or not accordingly alligned to the beats on this time signature ? why ? and how to achieve it ..? i,m not able to draw the notes to the beats can i send you the screen shots of this problem which i,m facing ?

Hi Dom! First of all thank you for all your videos and I wish you make deeply video how to use Softubr Console 1 with Cubase and if you may answer please, what headphones model you using for mixing and mastering? Is it Sennheiser HD650 maybe? Thank you

Loupe deck looks interesting with Cubase I would like for you to do to a review And also the Nektar Aura.

Hi Dom! Thank you for this gear review. I've tried to find a way to buy CC121 but it seems that it's impossible at now... do you know if Steinberg is going to produce this gear again..? Thanks again

Dom- you’re a treasure to Cubase lifers like me.

Console 1 looks great, I was thinking about buying it for months. I have now decided against it simply because it only controls Softube plugins. I want something to control Cubase EQ, pass filters, panning and track levels..... My search continues. I also want to continue to use the amazing plugins I have in my work flow. Thank you for the clarity

Yes, please make a video for the loupedeck CT.

i really enjoy the behringer xtouch i use with cubase was a small learning curve but wasnt too bad.

I looked at many controllers over the years. Back in the 1999, I had one which I believe was made by Digitech. Some stuff worked, some didn't -- it wasn't exactly what one would consider to be "compatible" with Cubase (although you must remember that in those days I was working with Cubase 3.7 VST that a computer builder gave to me, saying "I can't make head or tail out of this.") This was my introduction to many, many versions of Cubase over the years, all the way up to my current one -- Cubase 11 Pro. 22 years later, I am totally sold on Cubase. I wish I could say the same about the controllers.

Hi there, I’d like to ask how to setup Cubase 10.5 to mix 5.1 channel mix. What interface would you recommend for this 5.1 channel? Jan

Question: i use cubase pro 10.5 and serato sample... but for some reason i can't drag & Drop a simple Wave file from cubase into the serator plugin... any idea why? .. it also doesn't workl with dragging from cubase window into maschine plugin Thx & Rock on!

Hi. I have a brand new Arturia Keylab 88 Mk 2. I bought it because of all in one functions (good keys, pads, faders and knobs). But I discovered a lot of problems when I connected it in Cubase 11. I have a Faderport 16 also for mixing. It is connected with Mackie Control in Cubase and faders and transport buttons (play, stop, forward and so on) are working good. I need the Arturia’s faders and knobs just as a VST instruments CC controllers. I use a Spitfire instruments and always need CC 1, CC 11, CC 21 and more… I connected my Arturia in Cubase same way as a Faderport 16 (Mackie Control) and use a DAW mode. When I push a Arturia transport buttons (play, stop, forward) and move faders up and down, Faderport 16 faders are mowing same time and buttons are on. I tried to setup Arturia in Cubase in Generic Mode, then Track Quick Controls and VST Quick Controls mode, but no results. In Arturia MIDI Control center I have changed faders and knobs address (CC function) but in Cubase it works just in User Mode without transport buttons, track controls and global controls. My question is: How can I activate Arturia faders and knobs as a CC controllers, and transport buttons (play, stop, forward and so on) in DAW mode (no user mode), and same time use a faderport 16 faders as a mixer? I don’t need Faderport transport buttons. I need just Arturia transport buttons. Thank you

Hi, I would also appreciate you making a video about Loupedeck CT for controlling Cubase. Regards from Germany!

Right,, som years later. What Control surface do you recommend today? OS X Ventura, M1 and Cubase 12?

I bought the CTRL49M-AUDIO it was made to work with its own softwere called VIP .since my computer chrushed down it was impossible to reinstall the VIP which was bad aniway I work directly using learn cc . for some reason it allways learn the new cc but it rolls up another function that was not intended. and if I dont keep a notebook with all the controls written on paper it gets in a way I use the mouse ...

wow. How you configurate a loupdesk, like zoom and so on? Can ypu made a video tutor please? Thanks

Is there a way to set up cubase for live performance as ableton's layout? Like to use it with APC 40?

I just bought a loupe deck CT. It is arriving next week. Thanks for this video. I wondered what computer keyboard you are using. That thing looks sweet. Let us know. Thanks!

Thanks for the vids Dom! Just wondering which orchestral/string vst instruments would you start off with for Cubase?

Do you have any presets for the Softube counsel one?

What midi KEYBOARD controller with the Lightguide do you use...I saw a Cubase logo on one in a previous video of yours...?

Q: do you know of a controller that will allow us to control the sample start position in cubases Sampler and Halion. This can only be done with a mouse and ive been emailing cubase for years to make a machine that can control it. Apparently it hasnt been done becuase its not a midi value therefore non assignable? Thanks in advance. Greetings from LA

Have you tried the Faderport 16? Chris Miles from Mixdown online demoed it recently. I wish we had something like the Novation SL MxIII that had full Cubase integration.

Yes, please make a Loupedeck CT video.

Nice controllers! For those on a budget, I can offer up these cheaper alternatives that I have and find useful: -Steinberg CMC series They don't actually make these anymore, but you can find used ones eBay or elsewhere. I'll state right out that I went all-in on these years ago and have every model they made, and don't use most on them. Their touch-faders look way cool but are kinda useless in practice. The ones I still use regularly are the CMC-AI (mainly for the AI knob controller that does the same mouse-over control that the CC121 does in this video), and the CMC-TP for transport control. I also use the CMC-PD to lay down quick beats, but there are other solutions out there for that;. my CMC-PD happens to still be set up in my CMC rack so it's handy. -Presonus Faderport This gives me the motorized single fader that follows whatever track you're currently on. Its transport controls are ok as well...not as tightly integrated to Cubase as the CMC-TP, but y Presonus is on the opposite side of my desk as my CMC-TP, so I have transport control capabilities wherever I happen to be facing. -Streamdeck Cheaper alternative to the Loupedeck...no variable controllers, just buttons you can assign images and keystroke macros to. I could easily live without this, but it is handy now and then. I suppose if you have a bunch of custom macros you use often and would be happier with a dedicated controller for them rather than using the keyboard it might be more useful. Just tossing it out there for what its worth in case you can pick these up cheap.

How do you mix backing vocals for acapella mixes?

Hi Dom, really appreciate your videos! I need to know this: when you go through each track, do the EQ parameters (gain, freq, Q) update on the controller? I understand that it does show which eq-band is on/off - but couldn't understand if the VALUES update (through the LEDs on the eq knobs). Thank you!

Hello, Which midi keyboard do you suggest for cubase software. I mean the integration etc. 25 or 32 keys

Hi thank you for your videos. I have bought 1 years ago presonus faderport 8 . I dont know why it doesnt feat with my cubase 9 and later with cubase 10 and 10.5 . It is thr same problem. The midi control doesnt work when you want to make life dinamic or expression with strings and effect. when I bought it was written that it works with many DAW like cubase, studio one etc. But it doesnt. Please can you help me in some way. Thank you

There is a question i've always had: can you use Nuendo to make music with the same features than in Cubase? If that's true, why some videogame composers use both Cubase and Nuendo if it's posible to make all the music just with Nuendo? Thank you so much!

I think the CC 121 needs an update to control de HPF and the LPF on the eq section. What do you think dom? I use filters in every track. Thank you so much

great video dom, as always! can you talk about how those interfaces controlls the sends gain, please.

I like this one 😀

do you know what steinberg is going to replace the cc121 with it seems discontinued

Hi Dom - please can you do a more detailed demo of Loupedeck (or have you already)? Many thanks!

Do you know if there is a wireless pedal for the iPad that can be used with the iC Pro app to Play, Pause and Record and also Undo and Redo, move between tracks, etc? Thanks for the video!

What about the Cmc series? I always thought they looked useful as far as customizing a desk setup especially in a space-limited area like I work in.

Dom ...I would love to see a video on the Console 1 and how you use it.

Can I use the big knob on the Loupedeck like the AI knob on the cubase controller, controling the parameter the mouse is over?

Can somebody tell me which midicontroller (with faders) will work on my very old Cubase SL3?? Novation etc doesn't seem to work cause SL3 is so aged. But I love it! Hope someone knows.
