Thank you for introducing

So It Would Not Work With Auto Tune Pitch Correction Plugin ? Thanks And One More Question What If You Audio Interface Does NOT Have a Direct Monitoring Button And The Direct Monitoring Button Is Grayed Out ? I Have Been Trying To Figuer This Out Foreve

Hello Steve, Trying out my new YC-88/61 setup. Love the keyboard and thanks to you I am learning how to navigate an already great live keyboard. When my house gig resumes in 2 weeks I am ready to take the new duo out to the gig. Presently I am using a Nord Stage 4 88 and a Nord Stage 3 73 Compact for my upper keyboard. I was a big Yamaha user for many years from all the motifs to the stage pianos. I got spoiled by the Nords over the last 8 years but it was your PodCast that told me to gig the YC a try. I did find out one real important thing. Going out of the XLR's verses the ¼" outputs is huge. I could not believe the difference. Fortunately my Ashley 308B line mixer has channels one and two switchable between ¼" or XLR. Then I run that signal through a Focusrite ISA 2 preamp and into a DBX intelligent EQ, and finally to a Warm Audio Bus Summing unit. I then run out of the bus Summing via XLR into a Presonus Temblor Sub and up to my Space Station. It's quite a setup and is actually a small set up that's very portable. I can see by your videos you are a very talented player with nice chops. I would love to catch up to you at a gig. Let me know where your band is playing. I'm in North Carolina but would make a trip out to meet in person. Thank you so much for being a great teacher and keep up the good work. Rocky

Cubase Chord Pads ended up dismally disppointing me becuz for YEARSSS the software FORCES us to use chord VOICINGS of its own. It was so frustrating to have a software dictate to me which voicings I am FORCED to use to play the Eb Major chord. I could Not even REDUCE the notes in the chord or do ANYTHING i really wanted with Cubase' forced-voicings 🙄😒🤕🤕 after 3 years i finally had to give up using chord pads and go to Scaler (yeah . . . THIRD-party plugin JUST to be able to play my preferred VOICING of the Eb Major chord 🤕🙄🙄). Scaler also showed me some flames due to . . . you're Not gonna believe this: It cannot transpose MULTIPLE chords stored on its Chord Pads. You must transpose the chords ONE by ONE . . . the most MUNDANE and easy operation (transposing notes/chords) . . . is STILL Not possible in Scaler in June 2024 😁😂😂.

Thank you for this indepth review. Super helpful! Maybe I missed it, but I'm struggling to save my volume controller setting globally. Is it only possible to save at the patch level? I'd like to set my voume/expression pedal (via the Controller 2 port) to always control All Volumes - that way I can swell organ, or boost volume for solos on any sound on any patch. However, I'm struggling to find out how to save it that way. I can select that option on one patch and save the patch that way, but I can't figure out how to save this setting as a global setting. Do you know if that's possible, and if so how to do it? Thank oyu so much for reading this lengthy comment ... :). Again, GREAT job on a super helpful video!

GREAT video!!!

I think the lesson here is that unless you are a professional or want to take the risk of keeping up with the obligatory hectic pace of these vids, not to go anywhere near templates as they seem user unfriendly - using them can lead to disaster with many ways to go wrong in a maze of minutiae. As the same organising structures are used throughout the Cubase program, I suggest users like me (I don't use audio tracks btw) default to minimal, or no involvement with the project options that Cubase offers.

great tutorial!!

how did you end the tempo detection session? ie. which button did you press? :)

do you have keyboard command shortcut like "b" for example that bounces the audio or renders in place? (rare bounce and render in place the same thing?) and ifso which one and what do you assign it to and where in the key commands assign window? thanks in advance, joey :)

I had my phone connected to play music to channel 5/6 via mini jack cable ( throgh phone's headphone jack ). Cannot hear or control volume while using headphones but it works when I connect speakers though the output, is that normal? Used without USB cable plugged in. By the way, thank you for the in depth review of the mixer, answered so many questions. 😊

Excellent video. Would have been good to have a Master Plan v Ozone comparison at the end.

I just want to say Thank you! I just found this. Great work.

Thank you

Thank you so much! So clear straight to the point, I understand much more than ever. For a real word hands on approach this is great! better than anything else I have seen anywhere, much appreciation for your effort, great stuff. Thanks again Michael Melbourne Australia

I am just days from upgrading from a mac mini 2018 with i3 intel cpu to a mac studio m2 max. I am hoping it will beat the mac mini m2 pro in every regard. I am not looking to do video straight away, but I don't want to get caught out when I get to that stage.

You are a lifesaver!! GREAT videos!!

Love this! 😎👍 I've been using the Sub Master idea for a few years now. This idea has enhanced and increased my workflow. Brilliant!

You absolutely deserve a greater sub count, I find your videos to be my go to cubase tutorials. Thank You for your work

Is it possible to export multiply tracks with different length, without adjusting markers for each one?

I love Cubase and it's currently my DAW of choice. However, when it comes to tempo detection and tempo matching, other DAWs like FL Studio make it much simpler and faster to undertake. 2 to 3 clicks and you are done. Save for this in my view, Cubase is the best.

Great info and what a difference! night and day in my opinion. For those of us that don't have a tape machine, is there an online mastering service that we can send our mix or stems to that can perform this? Thanks

Top Class!

very helpful man thanks

Which one is better for DJs who use an external mixer with their controller?

Hey, I enjoy your videos and live learned a lot! I'm curious on your recommendations on bass strings that would be best for the deep low old school country sound? Thank you

Could you play both music from a phone and an electric guitar and listen to them on headphones? Is the channel for a guitar pre-amp? I’m mainly looking for something to practice at night on headphones.

Nuwce comparison, but the real thing to compare is the sound engine... It has been changed.... I did a null test using basic serum saw wave. And there are differences

Thanks for this! I have a CK61 (and am thinking about upgrading to YC88). My CK61 can connect to the iPad in a similar way AND the A/D input also gets routed into the iPad (so that I can use iPad apps for effects for external gear). I saw in a different vid that as of three years ago, the YC88 is not capable of doing this. Have there been any updates for the YC series that enables A/D input audio to be routed through USB? Or is this one of the set advantages of the CK series compared to the YC?

Great guitar tone, works so well in this song.

That is exactly what it's like.

this is one of the best comparison videos of audio components I've ever seen. Thanks @featherlitestudio!

Great tutorial on Frequency 2. Thanks again Steve

OK I am using this keyboard for a while. but tip #1 already blew my mind. Thank you!

Great video !

This is my go to EQ so this has been very useful: thanks Steve. Pity about the third example being rap crap but 🤷‍♂️

Would of been nice to leave the plugin in white color mode so we could see it better . Just saying .

Great channel

Longtime user of Frequency as a de-esser. One other feature that most de-essers don't have is a release time. I always set my release time for de-essing to somewhere between 1ms and 15ms, depending on the tempo and phrasing. Anything slower makes the vocal sound like its oscillating between syllables.

Great video! I’ve always understood the uses for dynamic REDUCTION, but this is a good explanation of uses for dynamic increase. I would love to see you tackle the Quadrafuzz plugin.

Is the Master EQ saved unto a live set?

Great video, very helpful especially the section on tempo detection.

Another excellent video from Steve and very clear explanations, as usual, of some of the features of that amazing EQ. We have several fancy EQ plugins in our studio, but our frequent go-to is still the stock Frequency2 in Cubase because of the versatile features you explained so clearly. We love using the M/S and sidechain functions on it as well. And I liked the sound of the first country song there!

Great use of the Swiss army knife. Excellent demo. Since I'm using Studio One 6.6 and not Cubase, I'm doing a similar action with my SSL X-DynEQ. However I'm also doing mid side EQ on top of it, so EQ, compressor, expander, with designated areas of stereo, L/R, M/S setting per band of which there's 24 bands.

great explanation!! very good video!

Great video but I did have to search RTA 😂 It might only be me that didn’t know what it is. It means Real Time Analyzer

Thank you for sharing your thoughts of why you choose different settings. I have used that same Yamaha pedal for almost 30 years now! But I usually only use it for expression or to adjust the live sound of part A/B or just the organ. I am exciting to get home tonight and try it as a Wah pedal.

Vinyl Jacket Records & 4k Film Sound Studios.... - Not all Monterey OS works with firewire and adapters. Double checking another Mac Book Pro Reloading Mojave but they Monterey and Mojave Audio and Video MacBooks will never get online ever and never use Apple ID... It gets hacked all the time.

Im guessing you're on pro 13?

The answer is YES! The Apple Corporate lunatics have removed the lines of code for the macOS audio core necessary for Firewire audio gear to continue to work. CEO Tim Cook came to Apple with the intent to destroy Macintosh, and by removing optical disk data support the CEO has effectively killed all educational and business uses of Macintosh Computers. CEO wants to have an "iCloud" environment where users rely completely on the data storage of iCloud with its monthly data storage costs. Monterey is the last macOS to make Firewire audio gear work. Apple is condemning all firewire devices to the landfill. Apple is a heartless and cruel company that hates its consumers. Consider Apple vandalizes the macOS system software of computers that are six years old and throttles six-year-old computers to about half-speed essentially ruining Macintosh computers for most users. Although Mac computers are excellent hardware, DO NOT BUY MACINTOSH COMPUTERS OR YOU WILL BE SORRY! Macintosh Computer sales are plummeting year over year as a result of Apple's CEO's madness to destroy what could have been a very viable and profitable computer company. I have used Macintosh Computers from the VERY FIRST 1984 AD 128K original Macintosh. In conclusion, having evil people rule the nation and corporations have disastrous consequences.
