I absolutely love Cubase but I have to say this. I really hope Beat Designer is improved in future versions of Cubase. We need per note parameter controls outside of just velocity. We need complete individualized flam for each instrument and note. We need complete individual swing per instrument. We need to be able to default the velocity value and click any portion of the steps to input notes at a consistent velocity. We also need Beat Designer and the rest of the mentioned features to exist inside of Groove Agent. Beat Designer is good but it could be great with further improvements.
I'm a long time Cubase user, but just been trying out Studio One... I wish Steinberg would implement features from the Studio One pattern designer into their midi plugins. It's so intuitive and flexible. I'd really like to be able to change the steps per lane to do polyrhythmic stuff in Beat Designer too.
Beat designer is key for my workflow. I definitely want them to add it to the lower zone and/or Groove Agent. Also ability to copy and paste within the patterns.
Amen to that Legos. If ever Dom's in Wales he better come to my house for a cuppa! I can show him my ZenStation then that I bought after he reviewed it. :)
I heard people talking about beat designer in the Steinberg forum. But I had no idea where to find it, or if I even had it in my Cubase. Another excellent tip. A very handy feature. Thx Dom.
I hope Cubase 12 gives this a bit of an update. I've used step sequencers my whole life, so I'm not partial to the diamond drum editor. Find this way easier, but seems dated. Thanks for the video.
I've browsed almost all of what RUclips has to offer - Hands down - this is the most essential Cubase production channel there is. Full stop. There is none better. We should be paying for this content (hey, I know there's a manual - but I learn through practice and observation, who wants to READ how to make AUDIO!?) Since I began making music 15+ years ago (and have been on many courses since, including Mastering Engineering) I have still always wanted to spend a day or more in a real studio and work on a project with a professional. I know there are many new resources that engineers have these days (like RUclips) that we never had before - But decades ago, in the good old days, pro-studios used to sometimes hired people that dreamed of being producers and engineers but had to prove themselves, be the dogsbody and learn by watching and looking over the shoulder of the lead engineer. Often they literally started as the coffee-boy or the unpaid assistant that had to record all the analogue settings at the end of the day! Personally, I think it would make a great to revive that idea in a video series - have an amateur come in and work on a project and to ask all the questions that a professional may not think to ask because they are no longer a beginner I'm being selfish, of course! It would be a dream come true to spend a day working with someone of your skill and edit it into a video. I would do anything to spend with you chatting about music production and working on something!
I tried reading the manual for beat designer, and it confused me, so I just continued to use the drum editor. I could put together beats with it, but it was not clear how to use them in a project. This video makes it much clearer and I can work with it now. Thanks, Dom.
what he says...im gonna try the beat designer again! thanks for this video Don! I wish Steiberg would re-write all their midi plugins, so its more intuitive to use, or open it for 3rd party designers like Logic. I really dont know any producers who use the midi plugins like the arp etc...they are all very confusing.
Wow! How fast is that creation technique! I can see myself using it just to get a song started even if replacing the sounds with other VST instruments later and fine tuning to sound more natural. Thanks a lot once again Dom!
I have opened this utility many times and always thought of it as a simplistic drum beat maker. It is much more than that and I thank you for showing its many features, including the experimental settings for changing quantization and swing.
I love your videos, everytime I watch and see your passion and enjoyment, it brings a smile to my face. Could you show us one day if you can create drum fills in beat designer.
Nuff respect , you do have a great gift bro in teaching cubase, you make it clear and simple and still very informative as always, good work bro, u're amongst one of the best I've come across. again Thanks very much. I'd confidently follow and recommend u to everyone towards a successful mastering of cubase. All your videos are made real simple for with perfect clarity for the understanding of even newbies. Thumbs up to u.
Dom. Another great video. I once again learned something new. Didn't even realise this existed. Really appreciate your videos Dom. Keep up the great work 🙂
Great video, as usual, thanks. Just a friendly tip regarding "80's," though: It should be "80s" without the apostrophe, which indicates possessive, like "Dom's video." The 80s don't possess your drum machine. And if you want to be a little fancier, use '80s, as the apostrophe there indicates an abbreviation, in this case abbreviating 1980s to '80s. You've provided lots of great tips for me, so I'm hoping this tip will be of value to you. Cheers!
I've just purchased the 80s drum kit , you've already helped me set up cubase with the modx , keep up the good work ! my request is you re create nik kershaws song Cloak and Dagger , it's amazing , it's like most of niks songs , its constantly evolving like its a live jam , making it so interesting . merry Christmas
If Steinberg updated Beat Designer with just a few more features (maybe note repeat like Studio One's and randomization/chance options like Ableton), we would see a mass migration to Cubase.
Hi Dom, this is great. I'd never looked in this section before but there's lads of new stuff (Chorder, etc.) How about some vids on these "hidden" items. I'm going to start opening everything from now on just to see what I didn't know existed! Thanks
Brill. Thanks Dom. How long has this been avaialble to use? Lol.... you know why I am laughing :) , this is so useful. Love your videos and thank you for making them!
Dom, I remember the 808 machine, and I'm sure it had an accent switch that you could adjust the accent amount with, how could this be implimented in Groovr Agent SE, or is that something that only the full version has?
Is there anyway to change the step value to add new notes (but not effect the previously programmed note values)? Like if you wanted to play triplets over 1/8 notes? Or change the total number of steps for one sound while not impacting the others (so it would loop sooner or later)?
Hi Dom, this is Chris from Sicily. Is it possible to drive the writing stes with some controller like the arturia beatstep pro for example? Have a nice day. Thank you for your work.
Ooomg thank you for your video! Boom! I wonder how can I use my keys or common drumpad hardware to add steps in the beat designer?(like ableton push) Is it possible?
Slmt siang brother..maaf mau nanya ini berlaku hnya untuk drum dari groove Agent atau sampel sampel drum lainnya. Soalnya saya pakai drum lain..pas mau pake beat desaigner..ngga ada bunyi drumnya..mohon solusinya brother 🙏
Hello Dom I have a questions When Cubese come have live performance mode like clip scenes and eurorack modular support ?? And what you Think about that ? If the 11.5 update it’s a major update .
My vocals choras with harmony clashing and cancelling each other please make a tutorial how upfront big stereo width choras and harmony mixing and lead vocal in the center 💕💕💕💕💌
Dom has taught me something new BOOM! 🤟 Haha 😂 love it! So my question which you've spoke about before is to do with the Chord pads, instead of using them as chords is it possible to make melodies with it using less notes? I've tried it many times on the circle of 5ths and chose notes what sound like it would work when I'm running through, but once I press play it doesn't sound as good as It did when I was selecting the notes, it's mostly strings I have this issue with, is this something you've experienced before or is it me being silly? Also I love your beard and I have grown mine to look like yours!
Hi Dom, I'm a fan of your videos and I have a question. Is there any advantage to using this instead of the default editor? Congratulations on the work and keep enlightening us.
Hi Dom. I recently purchased your 80s modern drums which I think are fantastic. How do you insert the drums as an instrument track as shown in this video? I have them as a midi track feeding into Halion Sonic SE. Also, your drum mapping only shows 8 of the 13 sounds in the cubase drum editor and the toms on B1 and C2 are identical.
As am an Indian National we use a lot of Desi beats with different time signature eg: 6/8 3/4 7/8 5/4 etc how and where can I find loops to fit cut and sample the loops into my Cubase 11 Pro pls kindly help 🙏 have a good and Safe year ahead 🙏
Q: why can't you make a tutorial with a Cubase delivered drum machine to make it a bit simpler for some us who don't have money to buy your drumkit, and have not much Cubase experience?
Midi inserts are not available on Elements, and can't upgrade because of the stupid dongle. Switched to Roland Zenbeats as it's complete, cheap, cross platform and no dongles!
I started dropping patherns using maschine ,this however makes maschine totally useless, beat designer was mentoined at the cubase course I had 4 years ago but as a not so usefull tool in cubase
For modern-day standards, this Beat designer is dated as hell. I hope in the next update they'll add randomization and step conditions at least. Not to mention individual track length. those would make a real BOOM
I don't have to pretend i love your tutorials but this beat design they need to improve it actually they need to change everything i think channel rack from fl studio is batter than this 🥺
I absolutely love Cubase but I have to say this. I really hope Beat Designer is improved in future versions of Cubase. We need per note parameter controls outside of just velocity.

Yes I absolutely Agree
@@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome he's not being spoiled since he's a paying customer.
Yes it would be nice if they overhauled Beat Designer and integrate it into Cubase modeling it after S1 Patterns and Logics excellent Step Editor.
Beat designer is key for my workflow. I definitely want them to add it to the lower zone and/or Groove Agent. Also ability to copy and paste within the patterns.
I learn from your channel everyday , you are the best teacher dom. God bless you.
Amen to that Legos. If ever Dom's in Wales he better come to my house for a cuppa! I can show him my ZenStation then that I bought after he reviewed it. :)
@@dazza1000 ❤❤
thank you sir ive been looking something like these for a very long time because i used this like in fl studio
Never spent much time with beat designer. Worth a another look.
I heard people talking about beat designer in the Steinberg forum. But I had no idea where to find it, or if I even had it in my Cubase. Another excellent tip. A very handy feature. Thx Dom.
I followed Dom here from his Cubasis videos. Really wish this was available in Cubasis.
Dom BOOM !!! Sigalas

great video Dom

Great video as usual. Off to try this now. Thanks so much.
Once again I learned something great thanks to you Dom! You're an amazing teacher and creator. Thank you
Very cool Dom, so many years Cubase user and didn't knew....
Awesome tutorial and well done

From me, yo have all OSCAR`S FROM WORLD, for great golden content you share. BOOOOM!!!
Superb tutorial. Thank you so much Dom.
Another very useful video that shows the power of Cubase. Very very interesting, thank you!
You sir, are a legend :) I have learned so much from your videos. cheers !
Dude I love you!!! 😂😂😂😂 you saved my hair!!! I was very stressed before this video…
Dom, you really need to release some T-shirt merch with a big "DS - BOOM!" across the front! 😎

Really appreciate your videos Dom. Keep up the great work 🙂
at minute 5 i nearly expected to start, "Don´t you want me"! :-D The Human League were awesome, Great Tut Dom, thanx!
Dom, really really ....... Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank You🍻😍
How can we have different subdivisions in a single loop. For example can we have the kick and snare in 8th notes and the hi hats in triplets?
this function have to be within the beat designer absolutely.
Great video, as usual, thanks. Just a friendly tip regarding "80's," though: It should be "80s" without the apostrophe, which indicates possessive, like "Dom's video." The 80s don't possess your drum machine. And if you want to be a little fancier, use '80s, as the apostrophe there indicates an abbreviation, in this case abbreviating 1980s to '80s.

Love you sir
its good for trap but agreed it needs more functions to fully use it! maybe a tip for version 12
If Steinberg updated Beat Designer with just a few more features (maybe note repeat like Studio One's and randomization/chance options like Ableton), we would see a mass migration to Cubase.
I want a new and improved beat designer too :)

Please make an template what u use for increasing your workflow
U are a cubase master ❤️
Love form india 🇮🇳 ❤️
Add probability and make it a power beat designer !!
what is the style (type of music like rock and pop) of the intro song (20 sec )! thanx for awesome tutorials
Slmt siang brother..maaf mau nanya ini berlaku hnya untuk drum dari groove Agent atau sampel sampel drum lainnya.

Is in in Cubase 3.3 on iPad
Hi Dom, I'm a fan of your videos and I have a question. Is there any advantage to using this instead of the default editor?
Congratulations on the work and keep enlightening us.
How do you match the metronome with the drum loops? Does it automatically fit into the tempo?
Sir plz tell how to change 4-4 beat 3-4 and 7-8
how can one adjust time signature and downbeat in beat designer?

In ten minutes :)
damn just when i was needing a drum tutorial on cubase and now my license is not working :'c
Oh no why???
restart!
It's like the new windows update blocked and broke my license and elicenser doesnt want to detect it, i'm getting back to protools :c
@@businessdealer2930 You know have to go online when updating elicenser?
Expectations for Cubase 11.5/12?
Sandboxing, leyering options, dual-mono, possibility to process folder (not just plugins inside folder, more advanced Direct offline processing
Macro buttons! Dock able windows
I started dropping patherns using maschine ,this however makes maschine totally useless, beat designer was mentoined at the cubase course I had 4 years ago but as a not so usefull tool in cubase
