What a great tip on the Snap point, you have no idea how many times i Cut the beggining and the end of my Risers to be on the grid, lllllllllllollllllllll----Thanks Chris! 28 years of Cubase and allways learning. Thanks to you as well. You're great man!... :)
Sir please make a video on note expressions midi expressions, velocity, modulation, pitchband ,legoto notes, expression automation, and articulation assigning too 🙏
Hi Chris, you are doing a great job. Even though I have been using Cubase for 30 years, I can still learn new techniques. Thank you very much, best regards and all the best. Also Kris
I have been using Cubase since before version 5 and didn't know of some of these tips. My favorite was turning off the plugins to stop latency. That tip alone solved a long standing problem with my templates. Even though my template tracks were disabled I was still getting latency through the plugins on FX and group tracks. Turning off the plugins solved that problem. Thank you!!!
Wow, the metronome this is amazing!! I'm always writing 3/4 and 6/8 in 4/4 grids becuase I prefer it that way. But man, I didn't know about this! Your channel is the best
Hi Chris! It is possible to raise the Gain by clicking approximately in the middle of the event using the Pencil Tool. Then a blue line will appear in the middle of the event. And then it is possible to raise the Clip gain and lower it as needed. The prerequisite for this is that the Clip was recorded at least to -6 or -3 dB in Peak, but if not, it is always possible to set it to a higher Gain and then use the Pencil Tool to click approximately in the middle of the event and then you can raise the Gain and lower it him however you want. Greetings! :-)
Great tips! But when you set the grid to Relative snap you don't need to set a snap point in the sample editor for each file. So it's faster that way. Cheers
I found your tip for Pre-Gain interesting. I've been at this Cubase thing forever and I just finished a mix where I automated the pre-gain for exactly the reason you explained. Thanks for the tip about using the pen tool.
Thank you for taking the time to do these types of videos. Very informative, all great time savers and extremely useful. I will look into your classes.. I think if items like these are highlighted, I will spend the time.. thanks again..
Hello Chris, great video today! I am not at my studio computer right now, but I remember I had some issues trying to set the metronome for a song that was at 100 bpm in 12/8. After a lot of intents I ended setting 6/8 at 200 bpm. But I wasn't able to find a way to set 12/8 telling Cubase the eighth note must be at 100 bpm. I think Cubase takes the tempo understanding that it is always a quarter note.
You're confusing the preroll with secondary time display. Preroll is always in bar&beats, and in the second example you've just set 1 beat preroll instead of 1 second. The format seems to be Bars.Beats.Eighths.(unknown). I don't know what the 4th value represent, it is not 16ths notes, nor milliseconds as far as I can tell, but setting it in 1 makes a very very tiny preroll.
Wow i didn't knew of that matroname secrets,and very interesting that i could solve latency issues with plugins inserted,thats amazing secrtes you revealed... Thank you so much for supporting us to go next level of production and time saving! Lots of love from Bhutan ⛳ 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the tipp with the latency! I have to say that i was struggling two times with that problem and i had to setup a new projekt to rerecord some takes and had to import them into the mainprojekt. Nice to know that two clicks could save me an hour🤣
Great video Chris! Thanks. One question: why did you skip on the option to Constrain Delay Compensation - It turns down latency causing plugin, e.g., for me - Reverence.
Yes I agree. Not sure why Chris skipped that. For instance if we have more that 10 or 20 plugins runs in a mix and if we need to rerecord the vocals or instruments the best way is to click the delay compensation as it will cuts off the latency in a sec.
on/off for turning plugins OFF - brilliant! Using the LIVE button for keeping them on but eliminating latency - better!! Of course, the 6th secret little secret was setting your playhead preference to return to previous start point. Finally, the 7th super secret little secret was grabbing the '3 dots' and sliding right multiple times reveals multiple hidden toolbars! WHO KNEW?! Thanks yet again, Chris! 🙏
@@leonardovalvassori the 3 vertical dots to the right of a number of the toolbar icons. In Chris's video, he used the ones to the right of the metronome icons at the right of the lower toolbar. But they show up in a number of places on the upper and lower toolbars.
@@jeffschwisow Thanks Jeff;-- I 've known those for ever. I thought he may have been referring to the three dots that now appear on the project window focus outline;-- I thought I'd missed something.
Hi Chris, could you explain when you are using the clip gain automation during the gain stage process, also when? Because someone explain that you need to use pre gain on the mixer first then you can also use clip gain on the center square and finally the third one option is clip gain automation with pencil. Could you make it clear that gain stage process and when you are using three of different tools?
My quick tips: All 3 do the same thing so use whichever is easiest/quickest for you in each situation, however all are best used when the recording has a large dynamic range (goes loud then quiet) so you can smooth it out so the output into your insert effects has a consistent volume otherwise compressors etc will have to overwork and spoil the tone. For simply reducing the volume in the mix, it’s best to use the fader and not pre gain for that reason. Hope that helps 😉
Personally when i'm gain staging i'm doing it with the pre gain knob on the mix consol, then when i have a good balance i use the pencil on specific part, especially on vocal where the singer get's too loud i reduce some parts so my compressor doesn't have to work hard all the time.
Hello, excellent video, i love it, thanks. Could you make a video of cubase 12 key commands like the one did you use to move audio clips in the track in the second tip??? Please
OMG the snapfunction is very useful for me! but one queation, the "s" at the beginning in the sampleeditor is not visible at my cubase, do you know a possibillity to activate that?
Good one Chris, I discovered how useful Spectral Layers was in Cubase 11 for cleaning up bleed. The upgraded Pro version 8 is even better but the base version is great to learn what it will do and its potential. Any chance of an explore Chris>
The snap point change and the pen-tool clip gain automation went right into my current project! Thank-you Chris.

Great tip on the metronome. No more fast click on the double time!
Great tips! you answered the question was looking for, plus some bonus ones!
That's great! Glad I could help!

Awesome! As always Chris, you are a fountain of Cubase wisdom.
Glad you think so! You're welcome!
Thanks a lot for these very neat and super useful video... Kind regards and many blessings, MaxT
As usual, another very informative video. I always learn something new when I watch your stuff. Thanks!
Fantastic video Chris. As a long time Cubase user, there were a few of these I didn't know ... Thank you :)

Super duper tips Chris bro... I had no clue about the Latency (alt-bypass) wondered why it did not work when bypassed ...thank you ...God Bless.
You're welcome!
The tip on managing latency gave me new insights! Thanks!
Great tips! But when you set the grid to Relative snap you don't need to set a snap point in the sample editor for each file. So it's faster that way. Cheers
^^ this, i´m also a big fan of relative snap and use it all the time on events that does not start at the beat!
Just saw the half of the video and, at that point, I discovered the Snap point trick which is super useful!
Thanks!

Great little "Tutorial!" Thanks Chris! 20 minutes to save a lot of time laters while working in CUBASE
pure gold man i had no idea of those tricks ...the snap point was great thank you
tnks man, usefull tips that will be a time saver
nice tips as always Chris! I know the latency monitor in mixer console what don´t know is how to see latency introduced by vst intruments.
Thanks Chris for your Master Knowledge - I like that tip on Snap Point "S", all the 5 points are very helpful. Thanks for sharing cheers Bruce A.
As always, a super-useful video. Thank you!
very helpful video, great tips, thanks a lot!

Good job Chris ! It's always interesting. Bonne journée ! ☮
Wow, can't believe I didn't know about the Alt-click-to-disable feature, nor the latency analytics. Thanks for the time savings.
Metronome patterns really help me tnx
This is very valuable!!!
Oh Chris. The clip gain !! You rule 😊♥️😊

Great ingo. Thank you. Can I assume that this will apply to 12?
Most excellent, thank you!
