Great tips. Not as important for mixing, but i always add an arranger track that highlights verse, chorus etc. Love having that on top of the project with everything in folders like you do. Makes it very easy to loop a section by just clicked the arranger track, and hotkey to loop the section.
Great tips as always Chris! Big fan here and long time subscriber. Your videos definitely help me with creating and mixing my music in Cubase so I can share my ideas with the world on my channel. Thanks once again and keep up great work.
Great video great tips - How do you make your wav lines look so good mine look flat and ugly. Is this a Nuendo feature or is there a configuration in 10.5 PRO also? Thank you for your great work.
I have a question. I’m working with a song that has a lot of dynamic changes. For example, different drums are used in different sections. Different instrumentation and pads on different verses. Even different vocals and chops. In this setting, would it still be best to categorize / group according to drums, bass, mids, and vocals? Or do you think it might make more sense to almost categorize according to section with those groups as sub groups within the section? Example: VERSE 1 GROUP (sub group of bass, mid, drums, vox) and then CHORUS (bass, mid, drums, vox)? I noticed this feels more organized to my brain but it obviously takes longer since I’m having to mix each individual section with their sub groups accordingly. Yet on the flip side, if I have ONLY the broad group stacks of bass, drums, mids, vox - I run into the issue of mixing the drums for verse 1 but then those general group effects applied don’t translate well to the drums in the chorus… and so on… does that make sense? What are your thoughts on this? 🤔
Thanks Chris, great advice and tips. Nice handling of the FX channels routing. I'll have to try that. The only thing I'd add is that if a track is going to be removed from visibility it be muted or disabled. I've had invisible tracks I'd forgotten about playing until I get to, "wtf is that?"
Hi Chris: You used FX tracks for, what I’m assuming,real instruments. Is it necessary to use FX tracks on VST instruments, or can skip FX tracks and just use the inserts already in the VST track?
Hi Chris, thanks for this video an the tips. Greatly appreciated. I wondered how you could also color the whole tab where the trackname is? I have Artist 9.5 and only the small part left from the trackname is colored.
Hi, thanks for the video, about time I get more organized, but my question is; When using a DAW, My tracks go to groups, then to my main mix groups, next to the Main Mix bus, then lastly to the Master out. Why is the main mix bus necessary? Can't everything just be done in the Master Bus? Looking forward to hearing why. Cheers.
Good question, the answer is not that easy... I would probably go with a Neve or SSL Channel Strip emulation since there's no Console emulation plugin in Cubase...The BX Console N and even the Waves Sheps Omni Channel would be a good choice.
I am going to buy your complete course. Clearly you have put so much work in to helping us weekend warriors and its the least I can do to give back. I expect it will be money well spent! Keep up the good work.
You should update your free mix template file that you provide on your website. It lacks organization and missing lots of routings and stuff. Kinda hard to figure everything out when we’re not familiar with your own organization
@Chris Selim Mix Bus and Master - what's the difference between them. For what do you need a "mix bus" before the master? @09:27 2nd question - why do you send all the tracks to a bust and then to the bus specific for those instruments? What's the usefulness of that first bus? Thanks!

Dude, good tutorials. I'm getting a lot of good info to supplement reading through the Cubase 10 manual. I'm new to Cubase from Pro Tools. Say, how do you separate your faders in the mix console like you did at 4:21 in the video. I've been trying to replicate that and can't seem to find it. I would like to do something similar in my workflow.
Actually, on that session, all tracks were sent to me in "stereo". I didn't record this project. I usually record my guitars in mono but even if you record a mono signal on a stereo track, it doesn't matter much, the channel will be stereo but the signal is still a mono signal.
If you sent me a message on my personal FB page, that's probably why I didn't answer... I keep this page for personal stuff only... Send me an email info@mixdownonline.com and I'll be happy to get back to you asap :-)

YOU ROCK CHRIS! You are without a doubt in my opinion the best source on learning about Cubase and music production in general.
Thanks for the nice comment, you made my day :-)
Agreed, if I come across something that I don't know. I first look it up on Chris's channel and it's always here or something similar.
This is just what i needed, just upgraded to Cubase 10, and need to organize. You are the patron saint of Cubase, thanks, and keep the videos coming.
Thanks man
Patron Saint of Cubase, well said :)
Great stuff! 👍🏽 Definitely going to help me get going here.
I really appreciate these tips and your free goodies. Thanks man!!!!

Thank you Chris, very helpful your tutorial... in general all your tutorials 👌😊👋

Lol... You're right, that can definitely happen... I think deleting tracks is the way to go as far as I'm concerned :-)

I put my drums in blue, too. Blue track drum brother. Big smile
Lol
Great - thanks again, Chris :-)

It's mainly to use the Master Out for Reference Plugins only in case someone doesn't use Cubase Pro with Control Room.
@@mixdownonline Thanks very much, great video!
5:35 not sure, do hidden Tracks not still take up performance? I would probably disable them first. This way you also won't accidentally unmute them.
Not if there's no plugins on those tracks... Sti not my favorite approach, deleting unused tracks works best for me.
Great videos Chris, so much appreciate all the knowledge sharing! If you could only buy / own one 3rd party plugin, what you buy?

do you use some separate mix groups for OV,SNARE and kicks? or you have just a general drum group??
I do have a general MIX Buss Drum Group and also drum component sub groups.. I made a free mini course on my Mix Template mixdown.online/free

@@mixdownonline Rad. Thanks man!
Thnx a lot Chris, just a question, i notice that you record the guitars in stereo track. Why do you do that?

@@mixdownonline Thank you so much !!! Love your work !

What about adding an arranger track instead of a marker track to write in the sections of the song?
Arranger track can be usefull when arranging a song but useless when mixing imo
Why have both a drum bus and mix drum group?
How to avoid CPU overload while Mixing as well as Recording?
While mixing, bring your buffer size up... While recording, don't record in a session full of plugins... In both cases, a faster computer helps a lot
