8/3/2019 The 10 Fastest Ways to Learn Cubase
2/13
#1 Watch Killing With Cubase series.I've put together twenty or so videos that cover what I
consider to be the crucial elements of Cubase. They are
highly informal. I screw up the names of various Cubase
windows. I ramble a bit. However, I also give you my
hardcore opinion on exactly what works in Cubase for me.
#2 Use The Getting Started PDF Included
With CubaseCubase comes with a PDF for getting started. It's going toknock out all your basic day-to-day stuff. I'd say that 95%
of the functionality you need for your next session is
covered here. The people that struggle for three months
with Cubase seem all fall under the Ignored-Getting-
Started-PDF category.
#3 Outside GuidesWhen I jumped into Cubase SX3 back in 2005, I bought a
set of instructional videos on Ebay. They were long,
boring, and hard to watch. I forced myself to use them,
but ultimately I don't remember much from the videos.
Really, they were more of a demonstration of what is
capable....kinda like Eddie Van Halen playing through aguitar emulator plugin. Yeah, that's one way of doing it. I
got a feeling I'm doing to end up with something different.
I would place the video instruction I purchased in the
Attempting To Be Thorough Class. It was trying to cover
everything. Learning the possibilities is great.....maybe
even required. Attempting total mastery of ALL functions
is completely unnecessary, impractical, and inefficient.
That's like test driving EVERY woman on Earth before you
buy one.
The other style of video I've encountered is what I'm
putting in the Rehashed Basics Class. These are often
much more personable ways of learning the same stuff
covered in the included Cubase guide. These videos are
generally pleasant to watch. They often have some
personal anecdotes that are insanely helpful. The not
comprehensive nature of these videos makes them better
as you actually get someone with an opinion. A little bias
is good if the person as a similar workflow to what you
want to do.
A downside to these more personal videos is there are
often details missing that the manual wouldn't miss. I
personally use Cubase each and every day and make a
living with it, but there are many little details that I don't
know. I screw up all the time when teaching Cubase, but
all these deta ils are so miniscule that they don't affect my
results.
My advice is to save your money and use a blend of video
tutorials and the Cubase Getting Started PDF that comes
bundled with every copy of Cubase.
#4 It IS LearningSome people mistake learning recording software with
something fun. It's not.. It's much like on a lazy day when
the remote is 6 away. You've got to muster up the
strength and find the will to actually get your butt off the
couch.
I recommend setting your alarm clock, getting up a bit
early, and just plan on a hard day of work.
If you approach this as pain-in-the ass job that you have
to simply bust through with effort, you'll be surprised how
quickly you get it done. I don't see an alternative.

3/13
#5 Cubase Is OverbuiltCubase is kinda li ke a real army hummer. It has a winch, a
rocket launcher, multiple spare tires, bullet-proof glass, a
flare gun, and two dozen other items that could be fun on
a boring Saturday. With that said, I drove 10 hours
yesterday, saw probably 50 military hummers on the
highway, and not one of them was shooting at insurgents.
They were using the same features as I was in my Civic.
For my task, I simply had to hold a hold down a gas pedal
and use the steering wheel to get back on center after
grazing the concrete side rails in between naps. Simpleenough....until I need my rocket launcher. Cubase is the
same. If you don't need the rocket launcher, don't bother
fiddling with it until you are ready.
#6 Learn The ShortcutsI know some people that complain that they mix up the
hardcore features with the day-to-day stuff. I don't have
this problem at a ll. I think a major reason for this is I
made a point to learn the shortcuts early. In particular, I'm
talking about the number key row above the letters. When
you get these down, you can work extremely fast in
Cubase without an ounce of thought. The helicopter tool
throws people off. You can see my Killing With Cubase
video tutorial on this one. You won't figure that one out byust tinkering, most likely.
#7 Use Custom ShortcutsSetting up custom shortcuts in Cubase takes 2 seconds
once you understand it...which takes 2 minutes, maybe.
Note: For this sort of thing, see your real-deal manual.
When you find that you use something constantly, go
ahead and assign it an unused keystroke or just override
something you don't use. It's rather impressive what you
can call up via shortcuts.
This is where things get interesting. Steinberg makes
Cubase to be a dangerous weapon for everyone doing hip
hop remixing to death meta l to folk music. Your way ofworking will be different than mine. If you find you are
being slowed down somewhere, speed it up. Create a
shortcut for it.
#8 You Can't Try CubaseQuite a few people are using X and decide they want to
try Cubase. That's impossible. You either use it or you
don't. Breaking off a little piece of Cubase and taking a
bite is kinda like flying with just a rudder and a landing
gear. Dive in all the way and DO IT or don't.
#9 Why Switch?This is the big one. If you are already using X (Pro Tools,
Logic, Sonar, Reaper, Digital Performer, etc....stuff I
consider to be Real Deal Software) and decide you want
to USE Cubase (not try it), you should probably make a
quick list of how you are limited. I have a hard time
believing that any of these programs are remotely
limiting. Cheaper stuff may be. Not sure.
I knew back in the day when I was using Sonic Foundry
Vegas (back before Sony bought it and before it had any
real video capabilities) I realized that there were many
things I was missing out just on just by talking to people.
The big one for me was an advanced MIDI Sequencer. The
other was the dramatically faster editing within Cubase.
Use The Cubase ForumEven though I'm pretty freakin' handy with Cubase in a
session (a zil lion hours of anything will do that to you), I
don't know much about it. Kinda like how humans know
extremely little about what's really under the ocean,

there's a whole bunch of Cubase stuff that I'm rather
clueless on, too.
While I'm POSITIVE that there are e lements of Cubase
that would make my life easier, I don't make much time to
get serious with learning them. I have mixing deadlines
and articles that need to go up Tuesday morning.
When there is a feature that I suspect Cubase has and
using it would save me more time than doing the task
manually, I check Google or the big manual. It's shockinghow often Cubase has it taken care of. Every once in a
blue moon I like to do a lit tle homework and understand a
new feature just to see what it can do for me. Otherwise,
it's back to work.
Deciding when to invest time into searching and learning
a better, faster method is tricky. It's sometimes easy to
spend two hours and not come up with a better method
than you have now. Other times you find a 30 second tip
that saves you six hours of work that day and any other
day you need to handle the task.

If cubase is like a hummy, acid must be
like an abrams Tank . Think about it,
we have the ability to zoom in just by
dragging the scroll wheel, just like how a
tank would move it's turrent and use i t's
camera about. Both can use the sametools, and both can run over clay-mores
and what not, but acid backs things up
every time you move the cursor, if you
want. So a tank has more security than a
hummy. Of course the hummy will get
you there faster, but tank technology is
catching up, and a tank can go through
more terrain (can't wait to see what acid
8 will do, maybe it'll be voice activated).
Cubase might be more customizable, just
like a hummy, but acid is like a tank,
where you sit in your driver position and
only a few things are customizable. Yes
yes yes, I could go on for days...... In theend if you want to learn cubase first you
gotta get your head around how it works,
I still remember the first time I got into
it. I couldn't even record something, it

must've took me a whole week to figure

cubase there's also the whole file
management system which, is unknown
to me. But yea, I'm a tank person. Cool

I'm with Brandon, I've always been drawn
to Cubase because it seemed to workintuitively, have everything (and more)
you'll ever need and the further I get into
it, the more I find things that make me
go, "Woah! I've wished my DAW could do
that for ages... now I know it does!" That
said, with the immense lists and varieties
of functions (setting up midi control for
the editing/arrangement window was the
most fun so far) the included
documentation really is your best friend...
a quick fiund search in the .pdf and your
usually where you need to be in the
comprehensive operation manual. It also
has a very impressive output/monitor mixcapability, providing your interface
supports multiple outs from the computer.
Nad above all I think I just like the
aesthetic and feel: it's German, precise,
concise, understated and focussed on
funtionality.

I've had a different experience with the
videos. I thought the ones from AskVideo
were fantastic. Sure you don't remember
everything ... but you get an overview of
all the features and then when you wantto do something and you're not sure how,
you suddenly remember ... "Oh! that's on
the video." Then you have the reference,
right there. I love Cubase. I'm always
finding deeper things ... like using the
'Input transformer' to limit what i s coming
in on a midi track or how friggin' easy it i s
to sequence hardware and record it in
real time on a track in Cubase. Internal
summing ... using 'dummy' output busses
... to record your VSTi tracks in real time
to audio without having to render is
amazing. Most of all I love the midi
functionality. I always steer anyonestarting out towards Reaper ... but once
you've got the time and money sunk in
Cubase, I don't think you every would
want to go back. I al so own Reaper, Acid
Pro 6 and Ableton 6 ... and they most ly
gather digital dust ... although I'm not
above rewiring Acid from time to time
when I want to use it's great pitch and
tempo stretching. Were money no object,
I'd also get ProTools as I think it has
some mixing capabilities beyond anything
else ... the ability to set up multiple fader
groups so you can adjust different groups
of channels together once you have their
relative levels with one another set ...and then there's Transfuser! The Cubase
Forum has some absolute gurus who love

knowledge. There is one guy called

Yeah, I use Acid for a few tasks and it
feels as agile as a Abrahms tank. Some ofthe most elementary things, like starting
and stopping playback, seems
unnecesarily complex or unintuitive. I can
right click in Cubase and it performs
common tasks the same as MS Word or
Excel. I dont' have to think about what I
am doing. When I'm in Acid I have to
concentrate on everything but the music.
I'm sure it's just lack of experience - but
that being said, it amazes me that people
can shift between 15 di fferent programs
without going nuts.

I 1st got started with Cubase LE, jumped
straight into Cubase Studio 4, upgraded
to Cubase 5 64 bit, and now I'm waiting
for Cubase 6 to get delivered. I
absolutely love this platform and couldn't
imagine using anything else. The more I
use it, the more I learn about it's
capabilities and I'm far from mastering it.
Kudos to Steinberg!

Just curious. Can't Cubase do this by
linking channels or are you talking about
something more fancy?
You may think it's necessary to try out
every woman on Earth. We'll say each
woman can be tried in 3 weeks. My super
quick math says it would take
200,000,000 years to do it.
Most likely. I'd guess that all programs
feel natural once you use them
enough.Then again, I find video editing in
Premiere to be TOTALLY cumbersome.
I've taken many hours to look and find a
way to find shortcuts and such so I don't
have to perform 3-4 tasks to get to the
spot I want to be and such. These
shortcuts for speedy workflow just don't
seem to be there.So maybe some
programs just are slow and force you to
use to much of the brain. Not sure.
Agreed! Maybe it's because I'm multi-
tasking to the max now, but if I had to
learn one more damn program, it had
better do something breathtaking.
Great point. I think this is going to be the
case with any good software. The
differences between the top stuff now are
so slight that it's not even that
the ability to set up
multiple fader groups so
you can adjust d ifferent
groups of channels together
once you have their relative
levels with one another set

yes, you can "link" channels in cubase .
but then you have to un-link if you want
to make any change to relative volumes
then remember to re-link them . possible,
but probably the long way around .much
more usable / time-friendly >> hit F4,
create bus (3 seconds) then set desired
channel outputs to that bus . now you
have a fader to control the group . as a
powerful extention, you can even bus
busses !

but what i said was "multiple fader
groups." You can link as many faders as
you like in Cubase, but only in one group
at a time. In PT you can have multiple
groups of faders.For example, link all the
drum tracks coming into your drum buss
after you have set the individual track
levels. Do the same for other groups of
say, guitars. Now you can change the
track levels coming into the buss for each
group for mixing while keeping thebalance of the tracks the same.There are
situations where easily reseting the
levels of tracks within the buss is better
than simply adusting the output levels of
the buss. Think about sends. Post fader
sends levels from the individual tracks
will get changed in the mix ... increased
or decreased ... when you use the buss
level to change the group in the mix. But
if you have the track faders 'ganged' in
the buss, the relative send level of each
track can be maintained.AFAIK, this is an
exclusive feature of PTPrado
brandondrury - 11-16-2011, 01:28 AM
I see. Thanks for the explanation. On my
more complex mixes I do find this to be a
bit of a pain. When I've got a vocal track
flowing into a chorus_vocal bus into a
vocal bus it can get maddening trying to
track back where I used the send.
Of course, in these cases, I find that
simpler is better 99% of the time and I
just undo all that dumb processing I did
previously.

LRM - 11-16-2011, 01:43 AM
I'm not sure I get you...
Do you essentially mean linking a single
fader - or multiple faders - into multiple
fader groups and each fader group has
exclusive control over that fader - or
faders?
Or do you mean as you first state it,
having multiple groups of linked faders?
As to the latter, you are not limited tohaving just one group (at least not with
Cubase 6), you can have multiple sets of
different faders independently linked. But
you can't link one fader or set of faders
more than once.
To me though, for the most part linking
tracks is a limi ted function better done
through group tracks or additional buses
in Cubase. You can assign a
track/group/bus output to a group track
or bus or use a sends to up to 8 different
group tracks or buses - pre as well as
post fader.

Yes, an individual track can belong to
more than one group at the same time.
So you can, for example, have a group for
snare top and snare bottom but also havea larger group containing those snares
and all other drum tracks. Additionally
you can have your sends linked for the
group, so if you use send 2 on al l tracks
to send to a plate, those individual track
amounts can be adjusted within the
group and retain their relative levels.
Finally, you can create VCA mix t racks
which provide a virtual fader that moves
all the track levels in the group.
See this video: Pro Tools 9 - Creating and
Using Edit & Mix Groups - Mac OS X &
Win 7 - YouTube
Note how the group membership info and
whether the group is active or not is
clearly displayed in the track itself in the
mixer. Notice how many more colors you
can use to create easy visualization of
groups beyond Cubase's 16 tracks.
I love Cubase, but there is no question
that Pro Tools is the superior platform for
mixing.

Interesting. I'm not sold yet. What else
does Pro Tools do better?
The only difference I see in what Pro
Tools does is the way the sends are
handled. I'm guessing this would save me
10 seconds of time on a 5 hour mix and it
won't sound any better. If I understandyou correctly, we are talking the different
between Pro Tools getting 999 out of
1,000 and Cubase getting 997 out of
1,000.

So I watched the video and got it now. To
a certain degree, it's looks more like it
encompasses track linking, groups, folder
tracks and send buses while staying
within a track linking view and literally
controlling the track faders with a group.I can see some advantage to it in certain
cases but my method of chaining groups
and folders and buses gets me "almost"
all of the same functionality within less
space and less faders... even if it might
be costing me more brain cell fry
stepping forwards and backwards through
the chains than the way PT9 allows you
to do it.
hmm...If this is new to PT9, I'm
wondering though if Cubase 6 doesn't
have the missing functionality stashed
away somewhere that I haven't looked
into yet. Probably not but now I'm going
have to go look tonight anyhow.

It all boils down to a couple of things ...
once we are agreed that it is better to
adjust levels inside the buss as opposed
to with the buss fader.Cubase channels
can be linked or unlinked. Channels can
only belong to one group. There is no
way to acitvate or deactivate a group:
unlink it and it is gone. There is no
visualization of what is linked or what itis linked to: you don't know until you
select one of the channels and they all
highlight. There is no 'master fader' for
the linked groups, i.e., VCA channels,
which can be automated.Pro Tools does
all the above. IMO these are powerful
and efficient mixing tools. If when you
see and understand from the video what
they do and you then see no use or
advantage for your work flow, then you
will be satisfied without them.I have and
use Cubase 6, but wish it also contained
similar tools.This lenghty digression
arose because I stated I wished Cubase
had faders groups like Pro Tools, you
asked the question ' ... something more
fancy?' and someone replied Cubase can
do the same thing.I think it is clear to all
now that what Cubase can do is not the
not the same thing.I think everyone
would agree that what Pro Tools does
with this is better, but how much better
or how much more useful is another
question.For recording and mixing bands,
maybe not so much. For dance music or
post production, maybe a lot.BTW, this
thread has gotten me around to making a
feature request on the Cubase
forum.Anyway, peace to all. Prdo

Don't get me wrong, I'm not denying the
functionality being useful and for some
things (maybe a lot) even better and
beyond Cubase's functionality - and if I
ahd the chance I'd probably play with it
to see how it would suit how I do things.
hehe - all this also reminds me of the
back and forth that went on over MIDI
Tracks vs. Instrument Tracks.
If it's been that long and not a pointed
out feature of Cubase,I can't see it be ing
hidden in there somewhere. oh well...
I think since PT 7. But I'm
not sure
