I've been using cubase for more than 10 years and only ever really scratched the surface for the way I make music (guitar based songs). The manual is daunting and other people present it as some kind of dark art ;) I recently got myself a midi keyboard and you have really helped me learn a lot of very practical features. Thank you for your clear and still interesting teaching style, you've really made a difference for me!!
how did I get by without this! Thank you very much, also found two of your other videos that demystified and inspired without even looking hard. Legend. Subscribed!
Your tutorials are brilliant! Is there any way you could spend some time doing an in-depth tutorial on controller setup, in regards to setting up a generic controller (I have the MPK2* keyboard), in addition to the Track and VST QCs?? How does the controller QC and Track/VST QCs work or override or work together when using them... Thanks again!
Cheers for this. I'm a guitarist (and wannabe singer) recording my own music. I have a nektar lx88+ which I mainly use for piano and I don't use the controls enough. I started with a Yamaha 4 track years ago and find eq easier with knobs rather than a mouse. Definitely going to set this up so thanks
I wish this worked in Cubase 13 in 2023 but I am not making the hardware talk to the software, except the one I set up using the traditional setup. In FL Studio if I browse to the parameter I want to control, I can link it up no problem. With the Quick Controls do I need a GUI with a knob or slider? What about if there's a button or just a menu item? In FL Studio I can assign hardware to control these elements as well. in Studio 1 I have a macro to do it also.
Great ideas about QC improvements! Hope Steinberg will see you)) I have another, but I dont know if it is possible: to use quick controls for 2 (or more) tracks at the same moment. Example: for 2 mixer channels if I assign volume faders on different CC/knobs on my external hardware, can I move the volume faders on those 2 channels with 2 different knobs in the same moment? :) I mean, can we use QC on 2 channels in the same moment? I dont think actually
I am right now finishing a comparision: 10 mixes with Lindell API and 10 mixes with Waves Scheps Omnichannel. Two very different plugins, but Lindell 50 is AMAZING. One of the best on the market. Next step: I will do 10 mixes with the UAD version of API channel strip and see what happens :)) great video as always, thank you very much!
You do a really great job, thanks I learned so much !! Do you know how to make great beat from scratch without using external materials like keyboard and pad but just Cubase and a mouse for beginners? I don't see a video on the topic like you could do, you seem so passionate about helping people.
This is the second request I have had for such a video, so I will upload one in the coming weeks. Be sure to hit that notification button as that is the only way I have of letting people know!
Thanks for these tutorials, and great ideas for QC !! ;) Would love some improvement for arranger track also (like triggering samples on tempo while playing few instruments tracks already ^^)
May I ask -- do you ever use Generic Remote? While, usable I find this very confusing at times to set a midi controller, lol. Apart, for what remains to be seen in the forthcoming edition of Cubase 12, I truly hope a more streamlined way to incorporate controllers in there system would be it -- people have been requesting such a feature for years to no avail. lol Thank you for your teachings!
In my current setup I have the P1 and Aura from Nektar and they both run pretty seamlessly with Cubase straight out the box without having to dive in to the Generic Remote stuff (other than for triggering the arranger track which I made a video about a few weeks ago), so rather selfishly I’m kinda hoping things don’t change in Cubase 12 too much on that front as I love the workflow 😅
Hi, this is a neat little trick. I was wondering if it's possible to assign custom key commands in Cubase to VST functions, for example assigning a certain key on the computer keyboard to switch a guitar effect on and off etc? If so, how? Thanks.
Cubase has 1000s of key commands that you can customise. I have not personally searched to see if you can turn a specific plug in on and off, but I’m sure there will be one in there somewhere. Just go Edit>Key Commands
Can we connect Komplete Kontrol keyboard to Nuendo/Cubase without the Native instruments menu so that we can use the keyboard to control the Steinberg menus?
I haven’t used a Komplete Kontrol keyboard in years so I’m not 100% sure... but I would assume that you should be able to map them to the Quick Controls the same way I did with my controllers here
For just starting out I wouldn’t say it is a need. I would recommend getting fully comfortable with the software before looking at different controller options. But I would say the P1 integration with Cubase is a lot deeper than other controllers I have used, so it is a great investment for sure
Once you get in the habit of using the P1 instead of the mouse, I swear it starts to make some of the more technical aspects of production feel just as fun as actually laying down the music!
@@Tutorial_ism there are track and vst quick controls and they share a similar setup ui. In cubase 10 the learn button does work but doesnt redraw the screen when you touch or turn a knob. In 11 it does but it does not enable the ok or apply buttonallowing it to be then saved/kept.
Sounds like a question for their tech support as I’m not sure what you mean, so unable to help I’m afraid. I was using the Quick Controls all through the couple of years I was on Cubase 10 without any problems though, so there is light at the end of the tunnel if that helps at all

Thank you so much Mark. It is always very humbling to hear these kind of comments. I’m just glad to be a small part of your musical journey!
Thanks a lot for this, man! I was absolutely thrilled to find a video that matches my setup - NEKTAR and Cubase. Thanks again!
Nice job demystifying these
Glad it helped mate
Video quality is looking ace lately, great job!
Thank you brother. It’s an honour to see you here man, love your videos!
Great work mate !
Once again Cee, your time will save my time. Cheers.
Quick controls are a god send!!!!
As always very useful and clear!! Thnx!
Cheers Robert. Glad it helped
Thanks alot bro! Peace for you!
Nice tutorial.very helpful and you are great.
Thanks mate

Thank you Mark. These are the types if comments that keep me motivated with making these videos. Thanks for the sub!
Hello my new friend !! I Like your videos . I use cubase for my production and will come back to see other your job !!! Hi from Italy
Thank you. Special Italian secret in my next video. Big Love from Hong Kong!
You are the best ! Period
Thanks mate
Great Job ! - lots of very useful info in there.
Thanks Jalusblu
Brilliant. Btw, you deserve CC121 (or whatever will follow after it being discontinued).
instant like! Thanks for adding it to our Cubase Nation Discord! Keep the Tutorials coming, bro!
Thanks for the support mate. Go check out the Discord for anyone reading this!

Good video man, thanks a bunch.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome! Gave me a few ideas on how to work with QC's more effectively. Thanks!
Yeah man. Get them in your workflow. Your future self with thank you for it!
Great video brother!

Hands on control definitely makes all the difference. Glad the video helped Sierra!
Longer video can be more enlightening but thankyou for teaching us , love bro
I will be doing a mix of long and short videos for sure.
Thank you very much, very useful your vídeo and very clear.
Could you help me? It dosn't work, something is wrong.
Hi Craig, Have you done a tut using CB13 it appears to be different from what you're explaining?
I wish this worked in Cubase 13 in 2023 but I am not making the hardware talk to the software, except the one I set up using the traditional setup.

I dont think actually
I hope so too. Yeah, there is a world of possibilities that could open up with some more flexibility from the QC
I would welcome very much this feature as it represents huge expansion of possibilities..can imagine lots of ways to use it.. Thanks
Yes, you can do so much with them!
Dude.... Steinberg should be paying you!
Haha. Thanks - but I think I might be a bit too rough around the edges for them!
I am right now finishing a comparision: 10 mixes with Lindell API and 10 mixes with Waves Scheps Omnichannel. Two very different plugins, but Lindell 50 is AMAZING. One of the best on the market. Next step: I will do 10 mixes with the UAD version of API channel strip and see what happens :)) great video as always, thank you very much!
I love the saturation from the pre-amp in the Lindell. Keep us updated on your comparison results!
You do a really great job, thanks I learned so much !!

Thanks mate. I kinda hot a workaround for the arranger track thing: ruclips.net/video/82rzL4NVmZM/видео.html

Would I need the p1 starting out? With Cubase.
For just starting out I wouldn’t say it is a need. I would recommend getting fully comfortable with the software before looking at different controller options. But I would say the P1 integration with Cubase is a lot deeper than other controllers I have used, so it is a great investment for sure
@@Tutorial_ism Can't wait for your learner tuts in Cubase as I don't know how to use suite.
I've a p1 doing jack shit for a year, thanks for the kick in the arse!
Once you get in the habit of using the P1 instead of the mouse, I swear it starts to make some of the more technical aspects of production feel just as fun as actually laying down the music!
@@Tutorial_ism great man, I'm looking forward!
What are you doing in kink Kong?
Before the pandemic hit I was a DJ. Right now I just get whatever production or mixing work I can get
@@Tutorial_ism Can't you do a friday home live DJ session for you subs or even event live Dj? Party night Frior Sat. :)
i wish you could set this for your favorite synth so you don't have to do it every time you load a synth
If only the quick control setup UI wasn't buggy as hell and crazy.
Oh really? What kind of bugs have you found?
@@Tutorial_ism there are track and vst quick controls and they share a similar setup ui. In cubase 10 the learn button does work but doesnt redraw the screen when you touch or turn a knob. In 11 it does but it does not enable the ok or apply buttonallowing it to be then saved/kept.
