* I went a bit too fast on the first one (Track Headers) . Nothing wrong with what I have shown here, but "Track Versions" in Cubase is a bit closer to what SEIDS is showing on the Logic Side with Track Headers.

I also thought about the "Track versions" feature when I saw that part.. That switches between different versions of the whole track though instead of just the clip, so I think the way you did it was a bit more like the feature she shows off in Logic... However.. We've got BOTH track versions AND switching between different clips in Cubase.. They have that in Logic? ;P
You and Dom Segalas are my go-to for Cubase tips. I've been using Cubase 12 Pro for nearly 2 years now and still learning loads of sneaky tricks. For me, the workflow as an artist/Producer I've got into Cubase is awesome. I was shouting at the screen with a lot of these, namely the VariAudio section.
I’m glad you did a response video on this one. I won’t speak ill of anyone, as I am sure their intent in making a video like that was honest, and meant to be entertaining, but the unintended consequence of taking someone who clearly doesn’t know the ins-and-outs of Cubase, and inferring that they do, in order to “wow” them on all the tricks that someone very well versed in Logic, is that they are putting misinformation out there, for people under the guise of “expert advice”. “Oh my god!” And “Wow that’s CRAZY!!!” Reaction videos make great fanboy (Logic or Cubase) fodder, and the RUclips algorithm definitely loves that, but if I were to do a video like that, I would want to vet the information I was putting out, to make sure it was at least correct. Anyways, thanks for doing this video and not being a jerk about it. You handled it very politely, professionally, and set the record straight hopefully combatting some of the unintentional misinformation that is now out there. Kudos to you. 👍
Everybody thinks their DAW is the best and will always try to win people over to their side. Let me ask this question.. Your car goes in for a service, you get it back and the problem is even worse. Do you go back and blame the the mechanic who worked on your car, or the tools he used when he was working?... DAW's are tools, and they all have nearly the same features in 2024. When a new feature comes out, it's not long before the others have it as well. We must stop trying to find the "best" DAW, and rather get educated on the one you're already using. The guy with the guitar clearly didn't understand his tools and will forever be jumping from one DAW to another, when someone shows him something new. Learn your tools, learn your key commands, and learn to work faster and not harder. Great work Chris!
As a film composer I switched from Logic to Cubase for the option to export stems and master mix, with every option in between. The warp tool is incredible too.
@@korkenknopfus Greg is great. I actually asked him yesterday about the lack of summing folders in Cubase, during a live stream. No clear answer/alternative. That missing feature is crucial to me, and it's making me go back to Logic.
I’ve been using Cubase since 1990 on Atari ST. Love it. As Chris and Dom say, it’s the best. Maybe the girl should have done her video with Chris or Dom. But then it would have become pointless…In French we call it « mauvaise foi ».
i just love cubase... Ara integration, MIDI, It records "in the background" everything you play on the keyboard and if you forget a melody you made, just press a button and everything you played in that session is there. I just love
Loved this video :). as a longtime Logic User that switched back to Cubase after a 20 + year break !! I could never work in Logic again , but man there is a lot to set up and learn in Cubase before you can get a good workflow!! . were as Logic is just so easy to get started ..
Having worked through the 1400 page Cubase manual front to back I can assure you that Cubase is way deeper than most people know. I wonder if Logic Pro has anything like the Cubase MIDIremote feature. For me, that is the most important part of Cubase, although they could make improvements in usability.
I've been using Cubase professionally for 21 years and recently started working with Logic. Have you noticed it takes a lot more clicks, windows, and settings to achieve the same tasks? Cubase is (or at least seems to be) deeper that Logic, but you work faster in Logic and keeps you more creative.
You used to be able to navigate the menu bar on windows using the Alt key and the undescored letters, which you could do in very quick succession (less than a second). I hade so many options memorized until Steinberg removed that ability by putting the menu in the title bar instead, to imitate Mac
Yes, I can confirm this, I use both. Logic has no Macros !! no plugin searching etc. I hate Logic's very slow workflow and I don't need a Clip Loop Lounger and all the fancy "modern" Beatmaker and Session Player stuff in the new L11. In these days Cubase is way better in so many areas. Cubase is PRO now. Not Logic.
The way I have to switch between sweep mode or edit mode in a comp to do simple editing tasks like trimming edges makes me crazy. That and not being able to adjust clip gain on parts of a comp without flattening it. Things I'm so used to doing in Cubase. Logic is decent bang for the buck but I remain team Cubase.
Great video Chris and funny! You are totally right. I've been using Cubase since 2005 and I still learning! That why I got your Ultimate Guide To Cubase its awesome!!
In Cubase, we also have track alternatives (you just need to press the arrow to the left of the track name). It’s more similar than take folders. (thats a big feature in both DAWs)
Great video! In Logic you can click the Solo or Mute button on one channel and drag down or up and the other channels as well will be muted or soloed. That is great function. Hope one day Cubase will integrate that also.

Thanks a lot for the video I love cubase and I will always work with cubase. I started with cubase vst24/vst32/sx1/sx2/sx 4 and cubase 5 cubase then cubase 7 and now Im currently working with cubase 11 pro and im happy with it. thank you for sharing your knowledge. felicitation et beaucoup des courage a vous.
Chris, you are the epitome of class and patience. If I were in your shoes, I would’ve lost it! I can just imagine myself huffing and puffing through every second of that video, in frustration. Hats off to you for handling it so gracefully! :D
Great video - it's true, sometimes the software is so powerful that we don't know all it can do until someone shows us and let's us know how we can expedite our workflow.
@@mixdownonline Honestly, though, FlexPitch doesn't hold up. It is riddled with pops and distortion even when using it carefully. I used Melodyne when I'm in Logic.
This is great. I think DAW comparisons are really important. Too many engineers and producers end up with their first DAW and never get to see the other side of the tracks😂. Im a Logic user who came from Motu Digital Performer. The problem with so many DAWs is RUclips tutorial access. I got a deeper understanding of Logic from the very beginning because of this.
Great summary. I've been using Cubase since the early 1980's on the Atari ST in black and while with the big hardware dongle. It's obviously progressed over time and kept up with technology. It now does everything I could ever want and lots more. I'm sure Logic Pro is a good platform, but why would I need it. They both seem to have all the same features.
Seids is awesome and I love her content (even though it's super focused on Logic). But this is the perfect example of people knowing their tools really well but not being super aware of other options (Seids), someone who doesn't know their tools well (Seids' guest), and someone who knows their tools and many other industry options well (you). Loved seeing this because it really does show that MOST DAWs on the market can do some incredible stuff, and at the end of the day it's just preference and what you're used to. Cubase has literally thousands of features that no one will probably notice until they spend 30,000 hours in it.
Great video, I probably use Audio the Alignment on just about every Cubase session. As a Logic user as well, I can say that the Cubase Vari Audio suite is leaps and bounds more powerful than Flex Pitch in Logic.
Hey Chris, I work with both Pro Tools and other formats, though I’ve been leaning more towards Steinberg lately-thanks to clients like Pro Kay and Robin Thicke. It’s been a great change! I’m glad you explained these things. I need to share them with my fellow Logic Pro users. There are some fantastic features in Cubase/Nuendo that I hope will be resolved soon. We’ll see how that goes. I’d love to chat more. Between you, Greg, and @DomSigalas, you all made my transition four years ago so much easier.
I use Cubase and Logic, and these days I mostly use Cubase. It's true that the functions shown in Logic are all there in Cubase! Given that they do the same thing (more or less), it's interesting how Cubase seems to offer chargeable upgrades more frequently than Logic. Cubase does have new, useable features, but it also has quite a few bugs. I would say Logic has less bugs on balance. Just a personal opinion.
For stacked recordings there's the other feature of 'Track versions' which is different and not useful for comping after you've just done a bunch of takes with a loop function on but it's SUPER useful for midi tracks when you're writing lots of different lines and are not sure which you're going to stick with.
Chosing a DAW is a personal choice, mostly when you start to learn a DAW you continue with that DAW. The most important thing is the result you getting out of your DAW.
Chris you continue to hold it down for us Cubase users. Appreciate you so doing this as you always do! I dont use all these type of features but its good to add to the knowledge base. Blessings! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 💯
I'm an old Cubase user and i really don't have the time or patience to learn a new DAW. Plus, I've already spent enough on Cubase. It does everything that I want. I think it's amazing!
I used to work with Logic for a couple of years and I really loved it - absolutely great DAW. 5 years back I sold my Mac and switched back to PC and started my Cubase journey. It's amazing and I have no regrets that I said goodbye to Logic. To me both are great and it's worth trying both before making a decision "which one?".
Each to their own when it comes to DAWS as is the case with almost everything else out there. Some prefer Mazda, others prefer Toyota. Some prefer Roland, others prefer Yamaha. Some prefer Apple iPhone, others prefer Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel. It's all down to personal preference and what you get used to.
I worked with FL Estudio and then I moved to Estudio One. Then I had several performance problems in Estudio One after several years and I became stuck working with a Windows computer. Then I bought a MacBook Pro and tried to work with Logic Pro but it was very difficult for me in terms of the workflow of zooming and moving around the project. Apart from the fact that it does not have a search engine when I want to insert a compressor, some Plus In the large list that the Wave has, for example, it was very difficult for me to search among so many, however, I decided to switch to Cubase where I could find all the things that I needed a track of chords where I only drop the Sam or a part of a song and I can immediately see all the chords that make up that song that does not have it, that is to say one thing, it never can, it can be compared with Cubase, everything it has it has Cubase, those people who are criticizing, please hold their mouths hard and be silent, Cubase is daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Chris thank you for this coupd you continue this as a series of comparing daw common n secret function with cubase I am thinking of coming to cubase but have no clue of its power
I have a feeling this video will come eventually! Cubase isn't my DAW of choice, but I know it's one of those good, useful, feature-packed ones! Thanks for the clarification!
I actually quite like to Logic, it's a pretty solid DAW! I know at the end of the day it's all about personal preferences BUT Cubase it's definitely way more capable in terms of features haha. I love your videos! thanks to you, Dom and Greg I was able to quickly switch from Ableton/Logic and now I truly love Cubase and even used it on some of my own RUclips tutorial videos. Great work!
I’ve been a Logic Pro fan ever since my first MacBook but I recently remembered I had a free code for Cubase that came with an audio interface so I tried it out and not long after there was a sale on the upgrade to the top level so I grabbed it. I will say, I think Cubase probably has a lot more “pro" features than Logic but I find it way easier to find what I need in Logic, it’s just laid out more sensibly in my opinion. Granted, I’m more a hobbyist than a professional and I don’t really need that much as far as features. One main reason I’m trying to learn Cubase is it will run on a Windows laptop (which I hate Windows BTW) because my MacBook Pro screen just broke and I can still use it with a monitor but I needed something portable and had a Dell laptop laying around. Also, a shout out to Dom’s channel, he pretty much has a video for about every question I’ve had about Cubase.
I do all my song writing and editing in Studio One, but enjoy mixing in Cubase. For whatever reason I've just never jived with Cubase for writing. I find editing in S1 also quite a bit better for one reason: its editing window. I also like being able to adjust the fade parameters on the track and not have to go into an options menu like Cubase (maybe you can do that in Cubase too?). Either way, all the major DAWs are great (except for Luna, that program has a long way to go). Just demo them and pick which one that feels the most natural and gets out of your way.
i started on pro tools then went to studio one.....but the more ive worked in cubase..wow and joining your community has been a huge help. but cubase is so incredible does anyone really know everything about it ??
a function that is too often neglected and that we never talk about is the zoom memory. it is however very practical when we do a lot of editing. I invite you to go see what it is used for. Chris do you know it? In case it would be good to make a small video. I only know Cubase that does that.
12:03 - 12:12 Looking forward to this video Chris! :) I do it manually through my own experience (in sample editor), but I'm sure I'll learn a more effective or faster method from you. I will try this target based auto align process with rhythm guitar tracks.
OMG! Just because I do not know how to RTFM or watch Chris' videos does not mean it doesn't exist! I use lanes and strip silence all the time. Cubase is a vast program, and I am always learning new things. When people ask me what the best DAW is, I always tell them, "The one that works best for you." I did learn something from that Logic video, "DON'T DO DRUGS, KIDS."
Wanted to leave a comment here. When I do comping in Logic Pro when you right click it give you more options on how you want to bounce this track based off all the other little parts put together to make one. My favorite is to make new track and leave the old one so it will bounce everything to a new track and leave the old compiled tracks there. Then I will hide the old one just so I can go back later if I need to make a double take or something else.
u can actually do all of these in cubase without leaving the same track n u can toggle anytime between both the edited n unedited in just a click all on the same track
Actually there is something available in Logic but missing in Cubase: the command "select highest/lowest notes" in the selection. Very useful when you need to spread a chord voices to different tracks: you copy and paste the whole block chord and this way you can easily select and delete one by one the voices you don't need... I know that in Cubase there are workarounds but it would be nice to have such a command..
Each DAW has its pros and cons. I use multiple DAWs: Cubase, Bitwig Studio, Logic. Because Apple hardware is very expensive / overpriced I don't plan to use Logic as my main DAW, but I like its instruments, especially Studio Strings and Studio Bass from the latest Logic version. Studio instruments have many articulations. I like drum kits also, both acustic and electronic.
The best daw is.... the one with the least delay when recording. And no matter if we use plugins or cheap soundcard. pls Steinberg make an update for latency and the Cubase is the winner! keep on Chris and thanks for all those videos
Cubase still doesn't have basic functions such as midi transform and q flam. Midi information outside the region boundary is still visible when clips are manually shortened or cut using the range selection tool. Cubase doesn't have undo / redo changes for vst INSTRUMENT parameters as a part of the DAW (they had this in cubase 12 but they scrapped it for Cubase 13). Logic Pro has integrated stock and 3rd party midi fx directly on the channel strip. You can record the output of the midi FX directly on the track instead of routing the midi out. In logic pro, any parameter (that can be added as an automation) selected on the channel will show up in the automation lane. To do the same in Cubase you'll have to write enable a track and click on the things that need to be automated for them to show up in the automation lanes. In Logic Pro you can select all the midi and audio regions and match their names to their track in one click. This is a feature built into the software. In Cubase you'll have to make some sort of a macro which combines a PLE Preset and many other settings. In terms of production and quality of Life related features Cubase is lacking in many aspects. However, the sample manager (mediabay) and the plugins that cubase comes with are absolutely amazing. Lets hope these functions are added to Cubase in version 14. In my opinion Cubase is more inclined towards recording, Mixing and mastering related tasks. Logic Pro has adapted more towards the music production side of things based on its current set of features.
@@irhedentertainment2622 I didn't say Vst FX. If you can read properly then check what I've written. It says Vst instruments. Alt+z or Option+z used to work till Cubase 12 for instruments. They have discontinued that since Cubase 13 was launched.
Hi Chris, I love Cubase pro, really great DAW, im sure most are good once you get to know them, so much to learn, i did try ableton but found it to be confusing( was just kind of the wrong way around for me). i also use Reason but mainly to create or i use the VST version in Cubase. The Reason DAW is great for general recording and stuff but after using Cubase, i export all the tracks into Cubase and away i go,lol.......
cubase is really amazing, but the problem is it starts loading slowly. also, it's more stable than other daws. but the sound engine is absolutely superior
I‘m getting into Logic at the moment because a studio nearby has it - but Cubase has become so up to date during the past 5 years that it’s right up there with Logic (and has been so for longer actually!)
This was super fun! I enjoyed trying to figure out what the equivalent feature was in Cubase as you went along. That poor guy must still be on Cubase SX lol.... but in all fairness, yeah Cubase is sssssoooo deep its fun to discover things we didnt know it could do! So lets hope he didn't join the dark side just yet!
Take alternatives are not the same as selecting lanes as you described. Each take alternative can have multiple lanes in Logic (described in the cubase terms you described.
Great video! ... and then that guy started working for trailer music and the company asked him: Can you do batch export your stems? You worked in Cubase right? Shouldn't take longer then 3 minutes ....!" Guy going back to Cubase 🥳
Excellent video - it confirmed what I thought: most DAWs have more or less the same feature sets (implemented their own way, and at different points of development), just like consoles (API, Audient, Euphonix, Focusrite, Harrison, Neve, RND, Sony, Soundcraft, SSL, Yamaha, etc) pretty much all have similar feature sets - and are also highly customizable. What's surprising (and pathetic) is the all the fanboys of this or that other DAW rising up in arms to trash Logig Pro - I've been on a lot of different forums and can't say I've ever seen (or heard) Logic users trash (or feel the need to trash) other DAWs. Just a thought.
I think you better get in touch with that guy, so he can check out your videos, he's bound to learn a lot! It could be that he is using Cubase AI or LE (free with some hardware) ! 🤣
I’ve changed to Cubase last year after using Logic 9 and x for near 10 years, Logic is a horse power DAW with many tools and features, colors too. But when compared to Cubase it honestly feels like a Toy. Also being techie, Cubase is more reliable when mixing in raw audio terms. Not all DAW do or sound the same, no matter what many people say. (Pls don’t start arguing about phase experiments because i’m talking about real time sound translation, not exporting the same waveform which doesn’t make sense). Apple CoreAudio and AudioUnits framework are sound destructive. VST2 and 3 are far more reliable than AU. I even used StudioOne v3 for some time when i started buying Virtual Instruments and noticed that AU wrapping changed my synths sound in a very noticeable way. Cubase is the real deal and the Daddy DAW for critical audio nerds, in fact the CLab Logic Software which apple bought, ripped off many of the original Cubase features to coexist with it. I like to know how to use Logic and other daws but for me is a No look back decision.
She had to show the Bus Folders (Summing Stacks). Which you can also show or collapse the child tracks in the mixer which helps for a cleaner mixer view. That is the only thing I miss in Cubase coming from Logic. Actually AFAIK Cubase is the only DAW that does not have it.
I don't know Logic well, so I don't know this feature, but yes, it would've been cool to see features that Cubase doesn't have at all. I'm good witht that!
1. Busses channel in cubase called group track. 2. You can create multiple preset of mixer configurations (Customs what you want to see in mixer in a multiple preset/config.) BTW, folders only available on projects windows.. Hopes this can help you. :)
When it comes to DAWs there is no bad choice, it's all about learning your tools and knowing your software of choice by heart (except for if you choose Audacity... That was a bad choice!)

Cubase/Nuendo has always been underestimated…underrated.
Totally!
Funny how it's true...
Not in my mind it's not ;)
Cubase is for pros!
GROSSSSSSLY under-estimated !!! The other DAWs are trying to keep up, but . . . lemme stop here.

DAWS all do the same is just a fancy phrase.
AAMEN TO THAT!, This should stop the DAW polemic for all! Fantastic reply man!
The difference is, with cubase you have to pay for each major update, whereas some other DAWs including Logic have lifetime updates.

Hello Chris. I´m using Cubase since 2000. So 24 years and last but not least I don´t know all secrets. So I follow you 👍 and Dom Sigalas.👍
Same here since SX3. I follow both of them also.

Same here, I know a lot about Cubase, but still learning stuff...Cubase can go deep.

This is great. I think DAW comparisons are really important. Too many engineers and producers end up with their first DAW and never get to see the other side of the tracks😂. Im a Logic user who came from Motu Digital Performer. The problem with so many DAWs is RUclips tutorial access. I got a deeper understanding of Logic from the very beginning because of this.
I love both DAWs as a Logic user I leanred some new things. Good video
3:00 FYI there is a thing called track versions in Cubase, since like a decade ago.
Incredible tutorial.. I really enjoy watching it 😅😅
Thank you so much 😀
Great summary. I've been using Cubase since the early 1980's on the Atari ST in black and while with the big hardware dongle. It's obviously progressed over time and kept up with technology. It now does everything I could ever want and lots more. I'm sure Logic Pro is a good platform, but why would I need it. They both seem to have all the same features.
Seids is awesome and I love her content (even though it's super focused on Logic). But this is the perfect example of people knowing their tools really well but not being super aware of other options (Seids), someone who doesn't know their tools well (Seids' guest), and someone who knows their tools and many other industry options well (you). Loved seeing this because it really does show that MOST DAWs on the market can do some incredible stuff, and at the end of the day it's just preference and what you're used to.
Cubase has literally thousands of features that no one will probably notice until they spend 30,000 hours in it.
Yes, she is awesome, I like her content as well. Thanks Austin for your comment, I really appreciate it :-)
Great video, I probably use Audio the Alignment on just about every Cubase session. As a Logic user as well, I can say that the Cubase Vari Audio suite is leaps and bounds more powerful than Flex Pitch in Logic.
I couldn't be happier that I switched back to Cubase. Cubase 13 Pro fits like me like a glove (unlike OJ gloves.😊😊)
That is why I followed you, Chris. I want to be as good as you. You are my idol. That is why I bought all of your courses!!
Wow, thanks a lot Lyndon!
Noting gets by you Chris. Thanks for standing up for us Cubasers
Hey Chris,
I work with both Pro Tools and other formats, though I’ve been leaning more towards Steinberg lately-thanks to clients like Pro Kay and Robin Thicke. It’s been a great change!
I’m glad you explained these things. I need to share them with my fellow Logic Pro users. There are some fantastic features in Cubase/Nuendo that I hope will be resolved soon. We’ll see how that goes.
I’d love to chat more. Between you, Greg, and @DomSigalas, you all made my transition four years ago so much easier.
Glad you enjoyed this video, and that you like our Cubase content
@jmhorvat Hey Jean-Marie! Would love to see you doing a mix breakdown video using cubase sometime.
I never knew of the silence or comp feature. I cut and paste into a new lane manually. 😮 thank you for your video ❤
I use Cubase and Logic, and these days I mostly use Cubase. It's true that the functions shown in Logic are all there in Cubase! Given that they do the same thing (more or less), it's interesting how Cubase seems to offer chargeable upgrades more frequently than Logic. Cubase does have new, useable features, but it also has quite a few bugs. I would say Logic has less bugs on balance. Just a personal opinion.
Great vid and so amusing .. love your stuff Chris ..also watching your reaction to the guys working with Logic ..
For stacked recordings there's the other feature of 'Track versions' which is different and not useful for comping after you've just done a bunch of takes with a loop function on but it's SUPER useful for midi tracks when you're writing lots of different lines and are not sure which you're going to stick with.
Chosing a DAW is a personal choice, mostly when you start to learn a DAW you continue with that DAW.
The most important thing is the result you getting out of your DAW.
Chris you continue to hold it down for us Cubase users. Appreciate you so doing this as you always do! I dont use all these type of features but its good to add to the knowledge base. Blessings! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 💯
I appreciate that! Thanks a lot!
I loved this vid! Mainly cause I had no idea of the cool features each daw has
Well played! Correcting some gaps on the Cubase side while offering some Logic Pro tips via the other channel. Great video!
Thanks bro!
I actually was impressed how logic has the features I had on cubase since 2010
I'm an old Cubase user and i really don't have the time or patience to learn a new DAW. Plus, I've already spent enough on Cubase. It does everything that I want. I think it's amazing!
Yes, leave the "learning other DAWs" to me! Lol!
I used to work with Logic for a couple of years and I really loved it - absolutely great DAW. 5 years back I sold my Mac and switched back to PC and started my Cubase journey. It's amazing and I have no regrets that I said goodbye to Logic. To me both are great and it's worth trying both before making a decision "which one?".
I produce a lot of vocal harmonies especially acappella and audio alignment and variaudio is just soooo handy..een a Cubase user since SL2
Nice to see Cubase getting a fair shake here, Chris. As always, your output is up there, with the likes of Dom Siglas etc.
Cheers!
One of the main features I use Cubase for is variaudio! I think variaudio sounds extremely natural compared to logic's flexpitch!
Each to their own when it comes to DAWS as is the case with almost everything else out there. Some prefer Mazda, others prefer Toyota. Some prefer Roland, others prefer Yamaha. Some prefer Apple iPhone, others prefer Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel. It's all down to personal preference and what you get used to.
crazy becasue i was just looking into this being I have both however I love cubase way more but logic is dope for sure
Chris - a nice way to say "this guy has no clue!". Nice video.
I had used to teach Logic Pro. It's a relief now I don't have to and can use Nuendo ;)
I worked with FL Estudio and then I moved to Estudio One. Then I had several performance problems in Estudio One after several years and I became stuck working with a Windows computer. Then I bought a MacBook Pro and tried to work with Logic Pro but it was very difficult for me in terms of the workflow of zooming and moving around the project. Apart from the fact that it does not have a search engine when I want to insert a compressor, some Plus In the large list that the Wave has, for example, it was very difficult for me to search among so many, however, I decided to switch to Cubase where I could find all the things that I needed a track of chords where I only drop the Sam or a part of a song and I can immediately see all the chords that make up that song that does not have it, that is to say one thing, it never can, it can be compared with Cubase, everything it has it has Cubase, those people who are criticizing, please hold their mouths hard and be silent, Cubase is daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, Chris! Those are features that are used all the time.
When you did the vocals alignment, were those tracks Rex’ voice? It seems to.
Hey Chris thank you for this coupd you continue this as a series of comparing daw common n secret function with cubase
I am thinking of coming to cubase but have no clue of its power
The first feature is available in Cubase as track versions, not only clips and lanes
I have a feeling this video will come eventually! Cubase isn't my DAW of choice, but I know it's one of those good, useful, feature-packed ones! Thanks for the clarification!
I wasn't able to resist ;)
I did upgrade from Cubase 4 too Cubase 13 pro for only 99,- , I think that’s a big deal and I love the endless possibilities now in Cubase 13 🥳👏👌
That's a good deal, for sure! Have fun!
I actually quite like to Logic, it's a pretty solid DAW! I know at the end of the day it's all about personal preferences BUT Cubase it's definitely way more capable in terms of features haha. I love your videos! thanks to you, Dom and Greg I was able to quickly switch from Ableton/Logic and now I truly love Cubase and even used it on some of my own RUclips tutorial videos. Great work!
I have no doubt Logic is a soldi DAW, but I'm with you with Cubase! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been a Logic Pro fan ever since my first MacBook but I recently remembered I had a free code for Cubase that came with an audio interface so I tried it out and not long after there was a sale on the upgrade to the top level so I grabbed it. I will say, I think Cubase probably has a lot more “pro" features than Logic but I find it way easier to find what I need in Logic, it’s just laid out more sensibly in my opinion. Granted, I’m more a hobbyist than a professional and I don’t really need that much as far as features. One main reason I’m trying to learn Cubase is it will run on a Windows laptop (which I hate Windows BTW) because my MacBook Pro screen just broke and I can still use it with a monitor but I needed something portable and had a Dell laptop laying around. Also, a shout out to Dom’s channel, he pretty much has a video for about every question I’ve had about Cubase.
I do all my song writing and editing in Studio One, but enjoy mixing in Cubase. For whatever reason I've just never jived with Cubase for writing. I find editing in S1 also quite a bit better for one reason: its editing window. I also like being able to adjust the fade parameters on the track and not have to go into an options menu like Cubase (maybe you can do that in Cubase too?).
Either way, all the major DAWs are great (except for Luna, that program has a long way to go). Just demo them and pick which one that feels the most natural and gets out of your way.
I appreciate you sharing your experience! Thanks for watching!
i started on pro tools then went to studio one.....but the more ive worked in cubase..wow and joining your community has been a huge help. but cubase is so incredible does anyone really know everything about it ??
I choose Mulab, I use Nuendo if a plugin doesn't work, and the midi to score stuff is a cool.
a function that is too often neglected and that we never talk about is the zoom memory. it is however very practical when we do a lot of editing. I invite you to go see what it is used for.
Chris do you know it? In case it would be good to make a small video.
I only know Cubase that does that.
I first used cubase in 1989 on an Atari ST. I still don't know everything it can do. I've learned a lot from you Chris. You da man! 👍
Wow, that's impressive! Way longer than me!
@mixdownonline Well you seem to have caught up very well!! 🤟
Same here. I had the Atari STE it had build in midi connections and bombs 😂
@@LuisInocente 😅
12:03 - 12:12 Looking forward to this video Chris! :) I do it manually through my own experience (in sample editor), but I'm sure I'll learn a more effective or faster method from you. I will try this target based auto align process with rhythm guitar tracks.
OMG! Just because I do not know how to RTFM or watch Chris' videos does not mean it doesn't exist! I use lanes and strip silence all the time. Cubase is a vast program, and I am always learning new things. When people ask me what the best DAW is, I always tell them, "The one that works best for you."
I did learn something from that Logic video, "DON'T DO DRUGS, KIDS."
Wanted to leave a comment here. When I do comping in Logic Pro when you right click it give you more options on how you want to bounce this track based off all the other little parts put together to make one. My favorite is to make new track and leave the old one so it will bounce everything to a new track and leave the old compiled tracks there. Then I will hide the old one just so I can go back later if I need to make a double take or something else.
u can actually do all of these in cubase without leaving the same track n u can toggle anytime between both the edited n unedited in just a click all on the same track
Actually there is something available in Logic but missing in Cubase: the command "select highest/lowest notes" in the selection. Very useful when you need to spread a chord voices to different tracks: you copy and paste the whole block chord and this way you can easily select and delete one by one the voices you don't need...
I know that in Cubase there are workarounds but it would be nice to have such a command..
Each DAW has its pros and cons. I use multiple DAWs: Cubase, Bitwig Studio, Logic. Because Apple hardware is very expensive / overpriced I don't plan to use Logic as my main DAW, but I like its instruments, especially Studio Strings and Studio Bass from the latest Logic version. Studio instruments have many articulations. I like drum kits also, both acustic and electronic.
I agree, all DAW has its pros and cons
The best daw is.... the one with the least delay when recording. And no matter if we use plugins or cheap soundcard.
pls Steinberg make an update for latency and the Cubase is the winner!
keep on Chris and thanks for all those videos
You're welcome!
I feel it's satisfying to select with range tool and delete silences, kind of therapeutic. But just for a few tracks! haha
Cubase still doesn't have basic functions such as midi transform and q flam. Midi information outside the region boundary is still visible when clips are manually shortened or cut using the range selection tool. Cubase doesn't have undo / redo changes for vst INSTRUMENT parameters as a part of the DAW (they had this in cubase 12 but they scrapped it for Cubase 13). Logic Pro has integrated stock and 3rd party midi fx directly on the channel strip. You can record the output of the midi FX directly on the track instead of routing the midi out. In logic pro, any parameter (that can be added as an automation) selected on the channel will show up in the automation lane. To do the same in Cubase you'll have to write enable a track and click on the things that need to be automated for them to show up in the automation lanes. In Logic Pro you can select all the midi and audio regions and match their names to their track in one click. This is a feature built into the software. In Cubase you'll have to make some sort of a macro which combines a PLE Preset and many other settings.
In terms of production and quality of Life related features Cubase is lacking in many aspects. However, the sample manager (mediabay) and the plugins that cubase comes with are absolutely amazing.
Lets hope these functions are added to Cubase in version 14.
In my opinion Cubase is more inclined towards recording, Mixing and mastering related tasks. Logic Pro has adapted more towards the music production side of things based on its current set of features.
it does even fl studio does
Cubase have undo / redo changes for vst INSTRUMENT parameters. alt+z
u just don't know how.lol
@@irhedentertainment2622 I didn't say Vst FX. If you can read properly then check what I've written. It says Vst instruments. Alt+z or Option+z used to work till Cubase 12 for instruments. They have discontinued that since Cubase 13 was launched.
@@irhedentertainment2622 alt+z (undo/redo for the mix console) works fine for all effect plugins.
I think there is an option in settings to colorise new tracks in different colours. This might work for colorisation of lanes
Hi Chris, I love Cubase pro, really great DAW, im sure most are good once you get to know them, so much to learn, i did try ableton but found it to be confusing( was just kind of the wrong way around for me). i also use Reason but mainly to create or i use the VST version in Cubase. The Reason DAW is great for general recording and stuff but after using Cubase, i export all the tracks into Cubase and away i go,lol.......
Thanks for sharing!
Sweet Vid! where did you get that hat?😎 love it!
cubase is really amazing, but the problem is it starts loading slowly. also, it's more stable than other daws. but the sound engine is absolutely superior
You're right about the loading time that depends on how many plugins you have installed. Definattely has a solid engine!
I‘m getting into Logic at the moment because a studio nearby has it - but Cubase has become so up to date during the past 5 years that it’s right up there with Logic (and has been so for longer actually!)
like the 20 years old track lane feature that seems to be new feature in logic ;)
This was super fun! I enjoyed trying to figure out what the equivalent feature was in Cubase as you went along. That poor guy must still be on Cubase SX lol.... but in all fairness, yeah Cubase is sssssoooo deep its fun to discover things we didnt know it could do! So lets hope he didn't join the dark side just yet!
Glad you enjoyed it, bro!
It will be good to see some cubase Funktions be interpreted also by someone in logic
Take alternatives are not the same as selecting lanes as you described. Each take alternative can have multiple lanes in Logic (described in the cubase terms you described.
Great video! ... and then that guy started working for trailer music and the company asked him: Can you do batch export your stems? You worked in Cubase right? Shouldn't take longer then 3 minutes ....!"
Guy going back to Cubase 🥳
I use both and Cubase is better in almost every way from an audio perspective. Logic just has great stock instruments and effects.
I heard about Logic's stock intruments! Pretty cool!
Reaper user: "both DAWs are lacking."
Excellent video - it confirmed what I thought: most DAWs have more or less the same feature sets (implemented their own way, and at different points of development), just like consoles (API, Audient, Euphonix, Focusrite, Harrison, Neve, RND, Sony, Soundcraft, SSL, Yamaha, etc) pretty much all have similar feature sets - and are also highly customizable.
What's surprising (and pathetic) is the all the fanboys of this or that other DAW rising up in arms to trash Logig Pro - I've been on a lot of different forums and can't say I've ever seen (or heard) Logic users trash (or feel the need to trash) other DAWs. Just a thought.
I had to bookmark this one.
That guy with the guitar was so funny lol. Cubase user here since 2004, its simply the best daw out there. Great program to produce music with.
Content is everything
I think you better get in touch with that guy, so he can check out your videos, he's bound to learn a lot! It could be that he is using Cubase AI or LE (free with some hardware) ! 🤣
I'll give him a discount to my course ;)
perfect Example for DUNNING KRUGER!
I’ve changed to Cubase last year after using Logic 9 and x for near 10 years, Logic is a horse power DAW with many tools and features, colors too. But when compared to Cubase it honestly feels like a Toy. Also being techie, Cubase is more reliable when mixing in raw audio terms. Not all DAW do or sound the same, no matter what many people say. (Pls don’t start arguing about phase experiments because i’m talking about real time sound translation, not exporting the same waveform which doesn’t make sense). Apple CoreAudio and AudioUnits framework are sound destructive. VST2 and 3 are far more reliable than AU. I even used StudioOne v3 for some time when i started buying Virtual Instruments and noticed that AU wrapping changed my synths sound in a very noticeable way. Cubase is the real deal and the Daddy DAW for critical audio nerds, in fact the CLab Logic Software which apple bought, ripped off many of the original Cubase features to coexist with it. I like to know how to use Logic and other daws but for me is a No look back decision.
She had to show the Bus Folders (Summing Stacks). Which you can also show or collapse the child tracks in the mixer which helps for a cleaner mixer view. That is the only thing I miss in Cubase coming from Logic. Actually AFAIK Cubase is the only DAW that does not have it.
I don't know Logic well, so I don't know this feature, but yes, it would've been cool to see features that Cubase doesn't have at all. I'm good witht that!
@@mixdownonlineReaper also has this feature. Essentially, your folder tracks can be used like buses.
1. Busses channel in cubase called group track. 2. You can create multiple preset of mixer configurations (Customs what you want to see in mixer in a multiple preset/config.) BTW, folders only available on projects windows.. Hopes this can help you. :)
@@Nick-t5xnot helpful, they’re talking about folder bus feature which is not available in Cubase at all.
Okay I have a next mission for you. Convince flat earthers earth is a globe. 😂
When it comes to DAWs there is no bad choice, it's all about learning your tools and knowing your software of choice by heart (except for if you choose Audacity... That was a bad choice!)
This helping me make a decision
I love your all video keep posting ❤❤ and plz make more video lesson of cubase
I started shouting at my monitor when they got to the Detect Silence part, like why don't people RTFM 😡
