Hello, I was finishing my orchestral template (finally) but I stumbled upon the realization that I actually need to up the VEPro plugin's Buffer Size to not have cracks in the audio when many tracks are playing at the same time. I'm using VEPro 6.5 (latest version before 7). My question is as...

Hello, I've searched on this topic but all answers are old (2 years old usually) or inconclusive. These questions are related to very big, high-track-count Orchestral Template projects with a lot of virtual instruments. I would really appreciate your help on this. As of now, using the latest...

I’ve been using REAPER continuously since January 2020. Since then, I’ve heavily customised it to my liking and pretty much built my professional career with it. I’m very fast with it and it can do pretty much anything I want it to, but here are the problems: 1. I’ve started getting a little...

Hi! I wanted to share this little thing I did to pay homage to the legendary film composer Harry Gregson-Williams with this re-imagined cue of Gone Baby Gone! This movie is a gem, and the score is pure magic! I hope you like it! Gone Baby Gone (re-imagined) - Homage to Harry Gregson-Williams...

Hi there! I often have to export stems either for clients, or for my mixing engineer. I'm using Cubase and VEPro (I have a networked PC hosting all my orchestral samples). I've set up my cubase template so each MIDI track (which sends to VEP) has a corresponding Audio track. However, that...

Hi, looking to let go of Cubase Pro 12 that I bought last year. I'm open to hearing offers, drop me a message. Will set up the whole process with the resale wizard on Steinberg's website. Looking @ 150-200 euros via paypal/stripe/wise. There's an add-on instrument called the Amped Elektra...

I Built An Entire Track From a Single Flute Sample Hello to everybody at VI-Control! In response to a challenge from a friend, I took a single flute sample and created an entire track including drums, bass, synth, guitar (sorta). Come check it out and let me know your thoughts! SMT

Hey, i got my hands on a good amount of money to upgrade my entire Setup (1400€), and i would like it to spend on a new CPU. I already looked up the DAWbench NI kontakt CPU ranking and im really impressed by the 2 new Intel top models. I want to create a BIG orchestral template (like blakus)...

Hello fellow composers, I really enjoy using the sampler track BUT: When it comes to archiving my sounds created with the sampler track, it becomes difficult - Track Archives refer to the location of the sample, even when choosing "Copy Media" - "Prepare archive" in the Audiopool works but then...

I'm trying again to give a second chance to an old iPad with Lemur installed, and I want to make a fader that picks up a value from the Cubase selected chanel fader. Right now I'm only able to send values from Lermur to Cubase, but when I move fader in Cubase, fader in Lemur doesn't respond...

Fellow Cubase users of all sorts. I wanted to see if you'd be in on a thread regarding all oddities surrounding Cubase Macros/PLE etc. A thread to collect philosophies, solutions and "aha!" moments regarding the complicated children. The unknown unknowns. Like "Oh yes that.. So back in 1594...

Hello guys, im a pop producer from Austria and i'd like to make a disabled template so that i have everything at hand when i need it. The problem is with group tracks. For some songs i only use Piano and Vocals and for other songs i use drums percussion orchestral sounds sound fx and so on. So i...

How are you finding interoperability between different notation programs? Finale v27 supports MusicXML 4, but if I want to transfer parts of scores between one of the other two big named notation apps, then compliance is a rather sketchy. Not everything comes in as expected, leaving lots of...

Sometimes it happened to me that when I duplicate an audio track (create an identical audio track) that the audio file in the new track and the previous track are always selected together. So basically you select always both files even if you only want to select one of them. The problem is you...

Selling my copy of Cubase Pro 13 license for 280€ / 300 USD. -> SOLD

So with the release of Steinberg's Cubase13 today (2nd November 2023), and the ongoing chat about its features and updates (click here) does anyone have any thoughts about: When Nuendo13 will likely be released What features will be added or updated to Nuendo13 in addition to those included...

I've just moved from Windows to Mac. Windows paths look different than Mac. So Kontakt Libraries (loaded via the browser, not licensed via Native Access), custom HALion presets, track presets in Cubase are all looking for a Windows path like "S:/Samples/[library]/samples..." while the location...

Hi! After several months of work, transcribing the orchestral sheet music, editing patiently the midi, the libraries, the project, adjusting every detail i could adjust, i present to you all, the biggest, longest, epic and cpu hungry project i have ever did! This is a mockup of 12 minutes of...

Hey there I was a Cubase user since I started. Then 7 years ago I switched to Ableton (wasn't doing a lot of picture based works back then). Whenever I do a project in Cubase, my sounddesign and my mixes sound boring and not cutting edge because I'm producing like an orchestral-composer, not...

Hey guys, As someone who primarily works on MacBooks, it frustrates me to no end that Cubase still doesn't have full Magic Trackpad support, compared to... every single DAW in existence. However, I just stumbled upon a post by a fellow Cubase user who took it upon himself to code a simple...

Hey there, I am not sure if I should spend the time and money to learn Dorico so I think it might be a good question to ask users here. 🙂 (I have been researching Finale, Sibelius and Dorico and think I will like Dorico the best.) **My style & current skills** I am a musician (songwriter...

Hello, I use both Cubase and Logic … but not together in the same workflow. I have an identical large orchestral template for both DAWs. Perhaps there is something wrong with me but every so often I will get “bored” of composing in Logic and switch to Cubase for a while, and visa-versa. My...

Hi fellow nerds, I've finally took the time to do a complete orchestral mockup. Learned a lot. Quite pleased with the result myself! Now I need a break. 😂 Thanks @NoamL for the extra pair of ears. Let me know what you think :) Cheers, Thomas

So, for those (like me) that either compose music and soundtracks or are involed with mixing and mastering, and wondering which route to take with their next high-end studio DAW computer, I thought perhaps a little objective Friday poll might help. I say 'high-end' because many of us need as...

Hey there fellow Cubase / Nuendo users, Noting that Steinberg introduced a new PLE bug since v12.0.40, details below, has anyone found a workaround for context sensitive Track Enable / Disable? Specifically, the PLE used to allow a track to be enabled or disabled when the Event Filters...

Hey all, hope you are having a great week! I keep hearing a lot of people say that Cubase's MIDI editing capabilities are better and/or more advanced than Studio One, but nobody has actually iterated on specially why and what kind of features that Cubase can do that S1 cannot, or does better...

How good does my workflow idea of writing in Staffpad - export - import into Cubase - finishing in Cubase work in reality? Are there a lot of errors regarding the MIDI/XML data? Does it require a lot of

Hi, I am planning to buy the Dell XPS Intel 13th gen family of desktop, with 32 GB RAM. Due to my office "work-from-home" I can only get Windows and not Apple products. Questions - 1. Is HP better than Dell XPS ? 2. Do i need to buy the GeForce 4080 16 GB ? I am not going to play intense...

Hello fellow composers, As the prices for a used CC121 are absurd and most other controllers (SSL UF8, Faderport etc) don't follow the selected track after bank 1 (channel 1-8) I'm interested in the Avid Artist Mix. Just realised that all the few latest EuCon versions don't support it anymore...

Hi there, Been on this forum for a good few years, but not been active for a good while. Big part of that is my mental health, and it REALLY gets in the way of me composing these days. Therefore, I have decided working with a fellow composer, is what I really miss, and would help inspire me...

Greetings, everyone. I've got a question about Cubase/VE Pro: About a year ago I switched over to Cubase/VE Pro from Logic for all my media scoring projects and have been super happy with it. I do miss a couple things from Logic however, such as the track stacks in Logic sending...

Hey guys, I don't know about you, but the default mapping of Tom Holkenborg's Percussion (dynamics mapped across the keyboard) never felt very natural to me, so I decided to remap it differently (one key for each drum / dynamic layers controlled by velocity) using Cubase's Transformer and MIDI...

I'm getting over 100ms latency with the stock Cubase Imager! Empty project, one audio track and only the Imager loaded. I've tested with other Imagers, both full-band and multiband, and I'm not getting anywhere close to the same numbers with those. Even with more cpu-intensive plugins like...

I've had a 12th gen for a little while and I always thought the DAW performance was unimpressive. I recently came across this recommendation to disable the e-cores in the bios. I did that and my peak/load meter on a large cubase project I've been working on dropped around 40%. I am also able...

Hi, I do more and more Dolby ATMOS mixing with my headphones. And to get the best immersive experience, I wanted to use the head tracking function of Cubase. To do this, I set up a python tool that uses a webcam to track my head movements during the mix. The project is host on GitHub...

Hey guys, I'm doing some research on remote MIDI controllers like TouchOSC and the Lemur. I see that I can program them to send MIDI signals, however each instrument of mine uses different articulations. For example, my piccolo has the "air" articulation which is just a breathy noise. Of course...

Update, 8:42pm MST (-7 GMT): I ran tests, see below. All cores run even, ZERO issues even maxed. Other 12th/13th Gen owners others are saying the same thing, no issues on their system. ======================================== Found this on Steinberg's site after watching a video on the "issue"...

I do a bit of songwriting here and there, and I'm wondering if there's a simple text panel or something in cubase that'll just let me write the words? Literally like notepad, only in the DAW. Anyone know of such a thing?

You have massive cubase session with tons of markers, signature- and tempo changes all over. It’s wild. Only midi, to keep things simple. Oceans of it! You suddenly decide you want to do double time for a part in the middle somewhere. Let’s say 40 to 80bpm. What’s your workflow that never...

Are these white bars normal in Cubase, It makes me think they're group together but when I look around I see nothing about them being grouped.

I know that Cubase, DP and Logic are the most popular programs used for scoring and composing here, however... I believe Ableton is underrated for these kinds of work. There are certain features that make it pretty useful for working with video and orchestral music: - warping is extremely...

Hi, I've a quick question regarding Midi CCs and articulations in Expression Maps. I have long and short articulations on the same instrument but different midi channels routed to different outputs. I use modulation and expression to control the dynamics of my long articulations and velocity to...

Hi Everyone, I was just listening to some old podcasts, and I came across an episode that I had forgotten about. In this episode, David Metzger talks about all his gear, his workflow, and how he has learned to be fast and productive. It's a delightful interview, and he seems like just a stellar...

Hello. It is the first time that I sell so I hope to do well and not screw up. I put plugins for sale that I no longer use and that, perhaps, other users can give a better life. I don't roll anymore. I leave you the list: PLUGIN ALLIANCE (License transfer is in charge of the buyer) - Ampeg...

Hello, I'm not sure it is the right forum to post this question, had to guess by elimination... A few days ago, I've watched this short James Newton Howard interview in his studio: As most of you already know, his main DAW is Cubase. But I noticed Ableton Live (if I am not mistaken) on the...

I exported from Cubase in MusicXML format. (Cubase pro 12) I just bought Dorico 4 Pro the other day. I just exported it in MusicXML format. I imported this in Dorico 4 Pro. Then, it is properly reflected until the middle of the song, but from the middle all bars are rests. There are supposed...

I have a Question regarding Track Archives in Cubase: Does anyone know if there's a website or company that is selling pre-made Track Archives of sample libraries patches? For example, if I bought a new library like "Jaeger" by Audio Imperia, then is there someone who already made Kontakt...

Anyone else using the Sideshowfx cubase pro profile for Cubase 12 with the Stream Deck XL ? I've noticed a lag whilst the profile loads and when you create text buttons, the text is applied/displayed slowly. Does anyone else get this?

So, i have recently started to use a laptop (Windows 11, Core i7 8750H 6 core/12 thread at 4.1GHz, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, and 4TB SSD) instead of a deaktop to allow for more portability. When at my home studio desk I have a 34" ultrawide I hook the laptop up to, as well as external hard drives...

Hello all, Cubase 11, windows 10 here! Cubase freezes up on copying (admittedly, I am copying the midi files from all of the project but still). I hit cntrl c and freeze - I’ve tried a lot of times , including deactivating third party plug ins .

Hey there! Just yesterday I was working on a project in Cubase with my Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 Server loaded. When I went to shut it down after finishing working on it for the day it crashed. (This isn't very unusual, I have an issue with my ram and since VEP uses a lot of it about 20% of the...

Hey guys! First of all I'm so sorry for my bad English, I'll try to explain my problem: The goal to achieve is to have a single instrument track on which to record all the midi notes (I prefer it instead of moving continuously on different tracks for each articulation), but at the same time...

Hey everybody, I have a question regarding using midi-loops (aka midi-data that triggers a specific VST) in Cubase. I find it really useful to be able to create these sort of 'mini-song fragments', which range from for example orchestral chord combinations with specific harp patters to stuff...

Hey guys, looking for a very simply fader controller to use with Logic and this caught my eye. I really like how it looks and how small it is, however it looks like it may only work with Cubase? If so can you suggest any good simple/cheap faders? Thanks

This relates to Cubase 12 Pro and 11 Pro and my system. Does anyone have system with a similar spec to the one below who is using Cubase 12/11 Pro? Motherboard: Asus Prime Z390-A CPU: Intel i9-9900K Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti WindForce X2 OC (GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD) RAM: 64GB o/s drive: Samsung...

I was going to release a new mockup but in light of the new CSS update 1.7 I will post about this one from a couple months ago. The truth is it has the same problem I am dealing with now. I am looking for a more convincing mix that sounds as realistic as yours does. Mine seems a little flat by...

Hey there! I've been having the weirdest problem with my template. The woodwinds I have loaded (Spitfire studio woodwinds professional) are acting quite weird with their keyswitching. Allow me to explain: First of all I run my template (cubase) trough a local vienna ensemble pro server, but I...

Hello, I hope you are doing well! I'm new to "Open Stage Control V1.17.0" and am currently using Cubase 10. I was wondering if it is possible to create a system in Open Stage Control to open a set group of MIDI or instrumental tracks with just one click (like you can with archive files in...

I'm currently on Windows 10 Pro 64 bit v1909. Do I need to upgrade at all? Do I need to upgrade to 21H2? and why? In particular, are there any known problems with the upgrade process or with any DAWs, audio interfaces, drivers, plug-ins etc after upgrading? Any help appreciated.

The state of play in terms of AVX/SSE adoption for mixing threads and audio engines is very uncertain, very few DAW developers promote this. What's the consensus in which DAWs use it and for waht purpose apart from a handleful of plugin developers? Now that Apple have moved to ARM do they...

So I'm thinking of trying out Cubase. What I want to know is if I buy it right now am I able to upgrade to either Artist or Pro? Also will there be a sale this summer and would I be able to upgrade to that sale price? Anyone know what day the sale would start if there is one? Any problems...

Hi everyone, Hope you're all well! Today i just got my Faderport V2, was stoked about it until I realised it works terribly with Cubase... No channel tracking which makes it awful to work with. It has an 8 channels bank system that only "moves" when used with the wheel or buttons... Anyways...

Hi, Dealing with visibility in Cubase... I use Open Stage Control to send CC to trigger Project Logical Editor's presets in a generic remote to show/hide folder tracks. That's ok. BUT... How to send those infos to O-S-C ? So that if i tweak visibility directly in Cubase, or just if i open a...

Hey all, When I export an audio from Cubase Pro 10.5, it sometimes pops, causing a break in the sound. I have no clue how to fix it. I host my libraries on an external hard drive (non-ssd). I do not have an audio interface, so I am using ASIOALL with my Realtek Audio Drivers/NVIDIA High...

I have a question relating to using instrument groups, sends and inserts. If I have, for example, three instrument tracks (audio or VSTi) that all belong to a logical group, say “Synths”, then I might create a group track and then route all three to that track. Now, let’s say I have a common...

Hi Everyone, Expression Map Creator (EMC) is a tool for quickly creating expression maps for use in Cubase. The reason for the creation of this tool is to save time setting up and maintaining expression maps, which is a cumbersome manual process. To achieve this EMC loads instruments and the...

Hi, Anyone here have a lemur example of simple muting and soloing tracks in cubase? I'm just starting with Lemur and have no scripting knowledge. I made some mute and solo buttons, they work a bit clumsy. I want them to behave just like in Cubase, pressing mute disables solo and the otherway...

I'm not a huge template guy, but I've just updated mine for general purpose scoring. What are some must-haves in your template?

Could anyone recommend one of these two MIDI controllers for use with Cubase and external hardware synths (mostly a Matrix 1000 in my case)? My general impression is that the Keylab may integrate better with Cubase, but the arp, scale and chord modes, and the full-sized keys on the Launchkey...

As I've been getting more into eurorack modular my workflow has been changing a bit, and I finally got to the point where I want to multitrack record into a DAW and then re-arrange things, cut some stuff up, and export a bunch of files. I mention Cubase (Pro)/Reaper/Bitwig because those are the...

Hello fellow composers, I use a touch controller with Cubase and would like to have a button to select the last midi controller (e.g. CC1, CC11) in the midi key editor to see its value for picking it up when writing new midi cc data to it. Does anyone have a solution for this? How do you do it...

I'm running a PC, so I don't have the convenient option of using Video Sync 5, but I need a way to use Cubase as a primary composing DAW, and Reaper as a secondary video player. After a long, hard search, I finally found the Project Synchronization Setup option, but have no idea where to go...
