never thought id be confessing my love to an internet stranger but here we are, this is so much more efficient than the manual cut and slipping notes way, thank you!
if you want an effed up warped recording
Thanks a lot for that clear and concise video. Would be useful to have a similar video on how to "time correct" a whole-band performance (e.g. drum + bass + guitar + keys) based on a Tempo track extracted from, for example, the drum performance to retain the overall "human" feel but make the whole band tighter. May be very useful when you're only mixing and have to live with the recorded tracks you were given ...
This is game changing. I’ve spent so much time editing and hating the result
If you listen to the edited kick you will listen stranges pre ringing or something...
I can't believe every single time I watch one of your video's, I discover a Cubase feature that I never heard of... My gosh, this one again! So useful! Cubase = the goat
Thank you so much DOM for all these wonderful videos!!!!
Perfect timing! Pardon the pun...
Just as I was looking at this last night
Thanks Dom! 😊
Every Time on my Crosstrainer-Training i pick up one of these fantastic Dom (the Man) Video and i stop much more clever than i´d started my training. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this Dom! I usually time correct drums the long hard way! Gotta LOVE Cubase! I really LOVE these types of videos! I've learned so much for you! Thank you for all you do!
Awesome video, Dom! Thanks so much for this.
It was a great experience watch this class. Thank you Dom!
Dom is the ultimate legend!!
Thank you Dom for this nice and helpul video.
great one Dom ... thanks
Dude, thank you so much! This is a huge game changer for me
Very helpful Dom.
Thank you, once again you helped me improve.
Your videos, as always, very useful, BUT I NEED THIS T-SHIRT, its beautiful!!!
Wow this was really helpful!!!
thanks! great tutorial!
Thank you very much Dom for sharing this=)
Thanks, awesome ! very useful !!! :D
Awesome!!!🌟🌟💯💯
Superb sir❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you❤
thanks a lot
Brill gonna speed up my production big time
It is features like this that make me keep wondering why producers keep using Pro Tools. Of course a producer could use this on first pass of tracks to bounce out repaired drum tracks and bring into PT for the rest of the work.
Best!
Hello Dom! Always nice to see videos from you. Some are really helpful, even for a very old Cubase user. Unfortunately, I cannot update past the v10, so I was wondering if using the warp tool under the arranger window is off-limits for our version. Was a very nice approach of tighten a drum performance, due to the difficulties (at least mine lack) using the quantize setup window to do the same. Thank you!
dom, could you make a video about phase aligning multitrack drums in cubase? dragging it manually will make it unable to group-edit it like you did in the video. thanks a lot!

If the drums werent recorded to a click am i right in thinking you work from the tempo track instead and then theres a function that will stretch the drums if you deactivate/fix the tempo?
Hi mate, I'm just starting out, do you have a video on doing techno builds, prior to a break, or as part of break leading in to the main verse??
DOM, What about latency when using outboard gear such as compressors? I seen videos but like to have more detailed video. Keep up the excellent videos!!!
Cubase has latency compensation - no need to do anything.
Awesome! I´m working on a track with real drums and a real bass but they couldn´t perform together, so bass notes are also not as tight with the kick as I want them to be. I can do this with the bass accordingly, right?
Hey Dom, can you show an easy and quick way to comp multi-track drums? Say something like 10 drum tracks with 6 lanes of tracks to comp from?
Thanks for the tutorials Dom. The quantization works as it should, but I get an unpleasant sound like in "reverse" in some transients. Why does this happen to me? please
What about live recordings with the full band? Would you group all tracks together (including guitars, bass, vocals etc.) or just the drums?
Tank you but I can't see buttons "group editing "when I create the directory...
This is a great video. However, on Cubase 12 Artist, I can't seem to find this function. Is this a Pro version only feature?
Hi Dom. Is it important to consider 96khz file recordings for this new function?
Compared to the past, when a part was usually just moved around during editing, with the warp function I guess Timestretching happens.
I think a workflow for this could be, record at 96khz, edit, and after the mix do the conversion at 48khz.
What do you think?
Thank you for your videos always passionate and very well explained!
I would love to hear domi´s answer but i think actually the bit depth is important for timestreching, so 32 bit float would do!
I've NEVER heard flex time edit drums correctly in any DAW, it especially messes up room mics and overheads and leaves odd artifacts. Can you slice and edit beat detective style in Cubase?
Does this also work on audio instruments and vocals?
Thanks Dom
How to make MIDI out of audio, but I need all the instruments of the drum kit falls in to a right notes? (If it’s make sense) thanks again
Here the drummer played to click i presume. How do you do this after importing a totally free recorded drum multi waw not recorded w click?
What algarhythm are you using? I switched to elastique pro time formant. i got error message Time align has has been deactivated because pitch falls outside preset range. I hit Q nothing is moved
What if, let‘s say, the snare and kick should be in sync but the drummer hits the snare a bit later. If I warp all the tracks the kick would change as well and not be on time anymore. Can you like choose only a few selected tracks before warping?
Is there a workaround for this with Cubase Artist? Sadly Groupediting is only available with Cubase Pro :(
Thanks! How do you handle a situation where - lets say - bar 1 contains a fill with 16th notes, so you quantize that, but then bar 2 contains a triplet fill? If you then quantize bar 2 hitting Q, how do you prevent bar 1 from being re-quantized?
Presumably you would just need to deactivate group editing.
@@MrMikomi definitely still want the quantization to happen vertically across all tracks, so group editing needs to be on. Just don't want bar 1 re-quantized.
@@NikolajChristensen Use the scissor tool to make that bar its own audio event and quantize separately.
when i do this it tells me to make hitpoints before using audio warp quantize.
Hey guys. There is no option on the folder track for phase coherent audio warp. using Cubase 11 pro. Any ideas? Thanks
How do you move selected tracks to folder on a MacBook please?
What are your thoughts with the group editing way of editing drums where you set the hit points priority (kick, snare, etc) and then slice, quantize and cross fade? I do both. But the method you are explaining is cleaner looking.
But What about the phase then?
@@suyashmishra6083 it is still phase coherent. Doesn’t change phase. You group and by giving priority for example to the kick. It will move the kick with the rest of the audios relative to the kick. It does not for example quantize to grid the room mic (which has a normal delay compared to the kick).
@@DiegoParedes got it :)
Thanks!
I prefer slices myself, even though this is much cleaner, I still lose some audio quality even with the phase coherent editing button enabled. I havent played around with the algorithms though, maybe "Standard - Drums" would do something nice
@@DiegoParedes All DaWs do this, and they all sound bad when they do it!
Hi Dom - how would you go about doing this for say an entire live concert that has 20-25 songs all at different tempos? Would you have to break it apart and work on each song as its own project and then somehow put them all back together again so it plays as a continuous show, or is there a way to change the tempo before each song and then grid just that song to that new tempo without affecting the others?
Might be better off quantising the audio 🤷🏻♂️🤔
Why not just set a tempo change in the tempo track? (Ctrl/Cmd + T)
@@alexmoore7517 That's what I was wondering how to do or if that's the most efficient way to do it.
Cut the songs into separate clips and set tempo markers at the start of each track so that tempo changes in the previous tracks do not affect them. No need for separate project files.
hi, show me how to mix the trap bits. I buy cubase 12 pro. but I can't do anything sounds bad. help please. I don't want to be disappointed and move to a FL studio.
Which Cubase version is it?
What version of Cubase are you using?
@DomSigalas what you do after all time corrections? Do you bounce, render in place or nothing? I'm asking because after bounce I hear phase issues.
I hope you will find time to answer 😊
How do you set the granularity if you dont want to make it sound like a drum machine and hit on all perfect 16th but just want to tighten a little sloppy beat up a bit ?
Maybe you can create Hitpoints and create warp markers from the hit points and then set quantisation to 80%?
This not available on cubase 11 pro?!
The function came out in version 12, so no. You can do that old school: cut, crossfade, slip edit
Lots of glitches... :( WHYYYYY!
why would you time stretch drums😢 slip editing only!!!
This is how to fix off time, stretching or shrinking back into time my opinion.
This doesn't sound like a real drummer to me. It's a bounced VST Instrument performance, right?
What the VST instrument made loads of mistakes?
