trill rear end posted:finally done with this one Hey, this is real good! Very Bloody Beetroots/Congorock. I'd play this track out for sure. Only thing about it is I think the breakdown at 2:51 comes too abruptly, same with the very end. Otherwise it's pretty sick.

'lo thread. I'm just getting into a bit of home music stuff having been playing with bands for years and nothing else. I've just ordered a decent firewire interface, mic and cubase 5 with the intent of recording my stuff. I mostly want to work with live guitars and vocals with some electronic elements thrown in, some light drum programming and synths. But asides from that, I want to dabble in doing some purely electronic stuff. So I'm working my way through this thread, and so far I've seen Cubase mentioned maybe twice if that, with the exception of it being listed in the OP. Is Cubase just not a good DAW for producing electronic stuff? I don't want to cripple my capabilities by using software that's not the best for job, and I'm willing to invest in a second DAW if needs be. However since I'm just learning all this I don't want to over-complicated things for myself initially either. I'm not completely clueless, I made quite a lot of stuff in FastTracker II many years ago, and have messed about with some earlier versions of Cubase, but Reason has overwhelmed me a little every time I've tried to learn that. I'm thinking Ableton Live might be a good option?

In that case Cubase is going to be far, far worse  .Do yourself a favor and get one of those "behind the manual" books, maybe there's a neat secondhand version for Cubase 4 floating around on Amazon. It'll do the job. quote:I'm thinking Ableton Live might be a good option? quote:Thankyou. I'll stick with learning one piece of software and not overly terrifying myself then. Sequencers will work for all kinds of music; it's whether they make your job easier or not. I've worked with Cubase (SX1, SX3) until 2006, then I switched to Live. If this scared you, make sure you don't open the plastic wrapping. Laserjet 4P fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jan 30, 2009 |

Cubase really isn't that scary. It does require some patience at first that you might not need with something like Ableton Live. With Live the whole program is designed to make certain things very easy, so you can get up and running quickly without even thinking about a manual. On the other hand as a result of this, if you want to do anything semi-unusual it's often impossible, difficult, or just doesn't really make sense. With Cubase you get more power and flexibility and it's relatively consistent with itself, but the tradeoff is that it's not quite as click-and-go up front. Even so, it's not the horrible nightmare that some people would have you believe everything except Live is.

Yoozer posted:Cubase is nothing like it. Eh, for what it's worth, I've been using Live and Sonar comfortably for years, and Reason's sequencer just never clicked for me. But yes, I agree that a full featured DAW package is probably the most complex thing you will do on your computer, short of full-fledged programming or maybe 3D rendering. And it's not HARD, most of it is pretty straightforward really, it's just that there's a lot there, and be prepared to spend a week or two just learning your way around before you're intuitively making music. I see there are some Cubase 4 tutorial DVDs on ebay selling for $20, that might also be a good investment in addition to a good book.

h_double posted:Eh, for what it's worth, I've been using Live and Sonar comfortably for years, and Reason's sequencer just never clicked for me. Reason is pretty rear end backwards as far as DAWs goes. It's closer to FL, being that it's mostly MIDI based, although now that FL has audio multi-tracking, Reason is basically just a softsynth suite with MIDI sequencing built in. Not that you didn't know any of this, just stating it for posterity. You'd get a lot more using a multi-track wave based type of DAW, imo. It's more practical in the long run. The thing that always killed me was like in the old Logic for PC... setting up the 'environment' before even getting a chance to drop in any audio, or do any real recording.

Actually, while on the topic of the Logic environment, is there a way to save default window settings to share between projects? For example I generally work on a widescreen monitor so I've got the piano roll popped out and the main stuff aligned below, and it's a bit of a hassle to adjust this every time I start a new project / unplug the monitor.

Spent a little while throwing together clips on one Kontact, then did a single take toying with those clips. This came out. The beginning is kinda retarded.

Yoozer posted:Cubase is nothing like it. Cheers. Yeah, I know Cubase is nothing like FastTracker. I have used earlier versions of Cubase (years ago, can't remember which ones) and didn't get on too badly with it. Reason just doesn't seem to click with me, stuff like the whole thing were you flipped the rack round and could see all the cables. Struck me as a weird UI decision, cables are great when you're using your hands; With a mouse there are more efficient ways of doing it.

I just picked up a Korg Microkontrol and have been toying around with renoise. I'm trying to figure out how to map controls on the Korg to different VST params. I had seen this program farmkontrol which seemed interesting, but to use the mapping it provides, it seems you need to know the various midi control codes that a vst connects it's params to. Is there a way to determine this? My current idea for a workflow was to sketch out bits on NitroTrackerDS, import them to Renoise to add arpeggiation/slides/volume control and then sequence these loops in another program. any thoughts?

Gareth Emery currently uses Cubase. I believe he is currently in the process of switching to Logic, but I would imagine it's pretty hard to switch DAWs after you've used one for so many years.

Sort of a stupid question but I remember seeing a video of some guy working on a DAW a little while back, he was doing some eq'ing and he did it by moving the mouse and "carving" the eq, like if you wanted a mid boost you would just sweep the mouse in an arc and the lows and highs would be cut off where the mouse moved. What program was it? I have no intention of changing from ableton any time soon but I remember seeing that and thinking "oh man that is so loving sweet".

Its a bit hard to visualise what your refering to here, do you mean drawing the envelopes, because , uh, Abletons pretty drat good at that. You can also gently caress around with recording automations live (You might even set up your x-y controller if you REALLY want to get into stunt eq.) edit: Also lol at the FL vs Live argument a while back, but you all get owned by Venetian Snares doing all his poo poo on loving Octamed tracker.The Moral of the story? gently caress tech wars, just use whatevers comfortable, even if it does mean making your spaz-core breaks on a 1980s tracker

There's a (now defunct) company called Elemental Audio that had an EQ that sounds like what you've described. I think you can still get it in places, but there's two of them.. Firium and Equim. Both are really phenominal EQs, and I use them religiously. If you're looking for a free GEQ that's interesting try the Nyquist EQ.

You can do this really easily in Ableton by just loading up an EQ8 in the effects bin of a channel and dragging one of the EQ band dots around with the mouse.

Like the guy above says Abletons EQ window is a bunch of little dots and you move the dots around and then adjust the parameter that says how much q they have. The thing I saw you just draw lines straight in the the EQ window as if it was Paint. Not functionally any different, but cool as hell.

There's a lot of EQs that allow you to do that. You were probably thinking of Firium, now known as FIREQ (linked above). CurveEQ is another alternative. edit: Just remembered I once used a plugin named Freeq Boy that did this also. Dicky B fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Feb 2, 2009 |
