Right, I watched the first few videos here on TH-cam and thought I'd carry on and get the whole course. I'm not even halfway through yet, but just wanted to take a moment to say that I've learnt so much already. Not quite sure how you do it, but you somehow manage to pack loads into each video without going too quickly whilst also covering basic stuff without it getting slow and laborious. Some experts forget what it's like to be a beginner and that can leave them unable to teach - here with have the subject knowledge and the ability to explain all rolled into one. I don't mean to gush, but this is great stuff! Thanks.
Thank you so much! Glad we could help. That means a lot to us :)
very helpful. explaining the things you likely find to be simple basic stuff like copy and pasting was invaluable information for me. thank you very much and im looking forward to the rest of these videos.
Have been struggling to figure out Cubase. You really helped.
Great refresher! Thanks I'm needing this (again)! LOL
Thank you very much mate for taking the time to show us how to use this pretty daunting at first program. 10/10.
Your explanation on how to get up and running is fantastic...super simple!! Thanks I appreciate it!!
You are so welcome!
Hi Jay many thanks for this tutorial iv been struggling a bit with Cubase 12 my first DAW etc and getting a bit down hearted with it but this episode really sorted out so much for me, it took me ten minutes to record my first tune its brilliant now nearly 2am and I’m just glued its fantastic thanks so much 👍👍😎✌
Very welcome Ray, glad it has been helpful :)
At last ! something simple, nice and clear. Prevents me from giving up Cubase on a trial version. Thank you so much
Glad we could help :)
You guys do great work. As far as I'm concerned this channel and your tutorials is the best way to learn Cubase 👍
Thanks so much Mike :)
@@Borntoproduce No probs - deserved 🙂
Très clair, merci!
Great job. Very helpful.
Welcome!
I've learnt just about all I need in the first 3 free lessons! Many thanks!
You're very welcome!
This was great!
Thank you very much. I've always wanted to do some audio recording as a bedroom guitarist. I don't understand why DAWs are so complicated but I guess it comes with the nature of music production lol. I will be following your guides! Again, thank you for this invaluable tutorial
Happy to help!
Thank you for this so helpful :)
Literally only watched 10 minutes of this video before work and how awesome and helpful it's already been made me sub to you. Thanks so much, I think I speak for all of us beginners when I say thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks a lot for this lesson 1, I'm definitely starting to use Cubase 12 thanks to your tutorial! :)
Welcome!
Thanks for putting this video up you've made a noob very happy
Welcome
i don't even use cubase but i'm watching this anyway, im such a madlad
(i'm only curious to see what it's like)
without a doubt that is the most enlightening tutorial i have ever seen/heard....thank you so much ... good man
Thank you, glad it helped )
Complete beginner, film maker, not even a musician. I was struggling, couldn't even get sound out of Cubase to begin with, your tutorial is by far the best, clearest, most straightforward online. You are the best, because you keep it simple and cover all aspects in detail. Well done. will be recommending you...
Great to hear!
Now if only cuBase itself was clear and straightforward. Sadly, I already uninstalled. Most DAWs Are overly complicated. Doesn't have to be, but the customer isn't the primary focus of most software is it. Anything besides an OS that needs a software installer assistant is too much for me. Lol
Thanks for this. I could follow everything and it all worked and made sense.
Great to hear!
You are a lifesaver! Thanks for being here!
You are so welcome!
More than that…. I LOVE you for doing this. I started on Cubase VST24 , moved thru SX up to Cubase 5x. Had to use Logic since 2008, so your lesson are invaluable now that I’ve rejoined with 12. Things have changed a lot but you are incredibly helpful. Steinberg always loved to hide fundamentals!
Thanks!
Super helpful. I decided to finally upgrade, since we can go Pro with monthly payments via Splice.
Thank you
Thank you so much for this very informative video!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought my CUBASE elements as I’m a complete beginner. This video was great and very helpful 🔥🔥
Glad it was helpful!
Could you explain about time signature and rhythm change in the same project..
Thnx 4 d nice review..
Hi Jay!
thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Excellent!!
combien de piece de téléchargement ya t il dans cubase pro 12
Thank you sir
Welcome
That's awesome...thnks
Glad you liked it
Thanks!
Welcome!
I use to use Cubase about 15 years ago on a Windows PC. When I went Mac I had nothing but hassles with ilok keys not working and versions not compatible with my OS. I've been trying to use Garage band but I always wanted to try Cubase again. I think I'm right in saying the ilok usb key is no longer needed(?) and you have tempted me in to buying Cubase 12 and to give it a go again. 👍🏻
Correct, Cubase 12 no longer needs the physical dongle :)
Hi brother. I really really want you to make a video about mixing the Vocal from the beginning to the end. Thanks 🙏
thanks.good work,
Thanks for watching!
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
No problem 😊
I watched many tutorial videos, for some reasons they seemed useless. But yours was amazing and straight to the point. For someone like me that is totally new to music production that was really helpful. I still have one problem. How to make the midi controller play all drum notes? I have this Omnitronic Key 288+ and I have the same problem with abelton and cubase. All the keys function properly in synth or piano mode, for some reason only a couple of keys function with drums!! If you know about this problem and have a solution it would be great to share it.
Thanks! Very glad the videos have been helpful. What sampler are you using? This should be easy in Groove Agent, You need to load all the samples to different pads (selsect all the samples you want to add, then drag them to the pads (i think you want the middle option)). Then you should have different drums on each key. Hope that helps
hi thanks for this video.. what do I do if my cubase is not recording instruments (like the kit 5) ? do i have to use midi for it to record ?
Hello again!
How do you get the notes played to appear on each colored block? For example, your Cubase shows C1, D1, F#1 on each block, while the ones on my end only have the colored blocks with no notes. Is there a button to turn that feature on?
Hi, im trying to learn how to mix music, i have the cubase 12 free trial, im struggling to find the samples as when i click on loops and samples nothing comes up. Any ideas where I can access samples within cubase? Thanks.
hi thanks for your brilliant tutorial . You've convinced me that i can use this software with your help thankyou . Can you please tell me which version to buy and how much and where is a reliable provider please . I'm not a big internet consumer . I normally go to a shop . Old school lol . Is it just software that i can buy and download now as i would really like to get started tonight if anyone reads this post and wouldn't mind giving me some sound advice . Thank in advance .
and have a great new year .
Hey Julian, thanks, glad we have been able to help. Yes, we would buy it direct from the Steinberg website, then you simply download their 'Steinberg Download Assistant', and you then you download and install it all from there. It's fairly straight forwards, just make sure you also download and install all of the 'additional contect' as there is a lot of very good stuff in there. As for the version, just start with the 'Elements' version, and if you find it is not enough then you can upgrade at a discounted price to the 'Artist version' which has a few more bells and whissles. If you are planning on doing much vocal work then the Artist version might be what you want, but again you can simply upgrade when the time is right and you won't be penalized for it. Hope that helps, good luck :)
@@Borntoproduce Hi thankyou so much for you reply i'm sincerely very grateful . I am quite new to using the internet as a consumer and probably a bit too cautious lol . But i'm so eager to get into this i'm a sax player myself , novice but not bad as a novice but not good enough to just get up and play in a band without rehearsal etc . But i tinkered with bass as a kid and just want to start put little tunes together and stuff . Something to do in my older years as a single guy living on my own lol . Beats sitting in front of the tv watching the days pass by . But honestly thankyou so much for you help . Have a great new year .
@@julianjulezstanleyredding5333 No problem, Happy New Year to you too :)
Hi, thank you for this really helpfull tutorial. But, on my Cubase, there is... : ...no "Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver" option for ASIO Driver (Only "No Driver"); ...only "No VST Instrument" option for "Instrument" when adding a new Track (No other options). I would really apreciate if you could help me out
I already have written my music by hand (notation) is there an option here that can help me?
Please answer that)
I don't have the "groove agent SE" on instrument. what should I do? I have to install sth on my cubase?
You need to install the additional content in the steinberg downoad assistant
Thanks for this tutorial! Quick question, As a beginner going from an analog 16 track recorder to Cubase, I plan to have a WIndows PC with 2 monitors. What would be the best use of the two monitors? In other words, what two simultaneous screens would give me the best "beginners" use as I record. I would be recording basic song structure such as 3-4 guitar/bass tracks, a keyboard (no midi), and a Boss DR-880 rhythm for drums.Hope that makes sense. TIA!
People have many different setups for 2 or more screens, but usually you eould have the project window on one and the mixer on the other. That's how I do it :)
If you want to be able to view and listen to this tutorial and running Cubase at the same time , check " Release driver when Application is in background " 2:35 then you can go back and forth.
cubase wont recognize my zoom b6, however in reaper it works just fine, any advice?
Cubase Elements 12 does supporting this plugin VST, VST2, VST3 ?
I can record analog sources using mics but I just cannot seem to add drum loops into my recording. I tried over and over as I watched this tutorial but when I drag a sample in, I only get a half bar if that. I can't seem to figure out how to extend it.
Hi, great work, I bought the course which in my opinion is good to start with, but the last few chapters were not very detailed, for example, topics such as modifying the voice for a correct pitch and how to use the groove agent plugin to create a groove are not covered more realistic drums with fills etc., even the mixing and mastering chapters are not very detailed. Is there an intermediate to advanced course where I can learn these things well?
Thanks, glad it helped. We do try and keep things fairly basic as it is for complete beginners, but great you want more. We actually do a follow up course on this, where we take the mix we made in this course and fine tune it so it's much more pro level. You can check it out here and see what you think. All the best www.borntoproduce.com/products/cubase-tutorial-beginner-to-pro-for-recording-artists?variant=41743787425965
Hey man thanks for the video I have a question is it true that the stock plugins in Cubase 12 are not M1 compatible I'm hearing all kinds of different conflictive things I haven't called Steinberg personally but I'm waiting to get a new M1 computer to update from Cubase 11.5 to Cubase 12 Thanks
Hey Frank, we don't have any access to info that you guys don't, but judging from the threads I have seen, it 'should' work. I also don't have a MAC to test this out on. It seems some people are only upgrading Cubase, and did not upgrade to the latest versions of the other plugins like halion and GA. I would guess the best thing to do is to completely remove Cubase and all assosiated plugins/instruments, and do a fresh install of everything from the steinberg download assistant. This is just a guess from what I am reading, but it seems logical. Good luck :)
Thought it was Ian Botham I swear was expecting cricket bat to come out not a DAW
haha I've heard that before hehe
😂
My steinberg ur22 is not showing in drop down Asio menu.
Drivers are up to date, windows 11 says interface is working fine.
Update/edit. Ignored windows 11, re installed drivers from disc. Bingo-back in business
Thank you for the video, it's very helpful! I've just got Cubase 12 Pro so I have a lot of learning to do. When I get to adding the virtual drum machine, I get stuck. When I click on Kit 1, there aren't any sounds available, like Pop Kit. Any ideas? Thank you for your time!
Hi Anthony, thanks, glad you are finding it helpful. Go to the Steinberg download assistant and make sure you have all the additional content installed. This will give you all the extra packs, drums etc :)
Thank you for the reply! I'll double check to make sure I have everything downloaded. I'm going to also purchase the beginner course on the website.
@@Borntoproduce
@@anthonybrashears8259 Thanks Anthony, enjoy :)
Thanks for this video. It helps me a lot to learn cubase. My cubase pro 12 Version has no samples of music or any instruments music. How should I add it??
You need to go to the Steinberg download assistant, fine your version aof Cubase, and download and install the additional content :)
Thanks
I purchased the BTP Cubase bundle and i'm still having issues. Is there a way I can get in touch with customer service?
Sorry to hear you're having issues. There is a contact form on our website, or you can ask your question here, or email info at borntoproduce dot com
Hello great video, I have 2 questions.
1:Cubase has a Competitive Crossgrade deal. I have a logic pro on my Mac but I want to switch to windows and choose for a completely new DAW, I think that Cubase is good for filmscoring etc. But what does the the competitive crossgrade entail?
2: I had read that you no longer need iLok for the cubase 12 pro. Can I still make a switch from PC to Mac later and install cubase 12 pro on my mac for free?
I don't know anything about the cross grade deal so you will have to ask Steinberg about that. Yes you can use Cubase on either Mac or PC or both as it's all done online and no longer needs the Elicenser USB dongle :)
@@Borntoproduce Thx for the fast reply. I have some paid plugins on Logic on my mac. Can I use these in Cubase on windows? If so, how do I transfer them from mac to windows?
@@erentosoundtracks7316 As long as the creator of those plugins give you a VST2 (or preferably VST3) version of the plugin you should be able to use in on a Windows PC. You will need to check, but normally that is the case
When i go in the studio set up menu i dont have the audio sistem part, i don't understand
Had this problem, and the bar was either in another screen or "behind" the application.
I am not getting any sound from my drum track but I do get sound from a midi I created.
Can we hear "Only Smoke Weed", please? 😎
mine brings up cakewalk for the drums
QUESTION: In 12 it does not always find my keyboard, a Yamaha. Never had an issue with 11. How do I add that?
If it's connected via USB it should be automatic. I don't know why it's not in your case. Best thing would be to contact Steinberg Support, as we don't have the answer
I'm getting an error message stating " vstsound is not a valid audio file and cannot be loaded"
What’s wrong if i can’t find any drums when I press ”Kit 1”?
Hello!
When Groove Agent SE pops up and I click Kit 1, I see no banks of sounds at all. The top just says "Load Kit..." Beneath that in a golden color reads "All Instrument Sets", but nothing loads. Is there a way to get the banks of sounds to load?
Thank you 🙏
Sounds like you need to install the additional content. Use the Stienberg Download Assistant, go to the version of Cubase you bought and you should see all the 'optional content'. I recommend installing it all as there are other very good sound banks :)
@@Borntoproduce Thank you! 🙏
Do you have to pay for the instruments? Because I’m on the trial and I don’t see anything?
You may need to download them from the Steinberg Download Manager - google it and install if not done so already
Hi! On my instrumentum drop down there is nothing listed only no vst instrumentum and external.. What do you think I should do?
Do I need Groove Agent?
I also don't have Loops and Samoles. Does the trial version not have those?
@@zenegyerekeknek Hey. Sounds like you need to install all the additional content. To do this, open/download the 'Steinberg Download Assistant', then go to 'Cubase' and select the version you own. On the right hand side you'll see all the available downloads, which includes and instruments and samples etc which you need to download. It auto installs them so it's pretty straight forwards.
great tutorial, but I did not have groove agent, or any of the sound samples, or any of the preset drum kits, ...
Try Steinberg Download Assistant and Steinberg Library Manager - both are downloadable and helpful.
Try Steinberg Download Assistant and Steinberg Library Manager - both are downloadable and helpful.
do you know why my cubase installation is missing all the VST instruments? 6:53 it only says "No VST Instrument", nothing else: there's no Groove Agent SE
Go to the Steinberg download assistant, go to your version of Cubase and install all optional content :)
Sir, I am Satyaban from India. I have a simple question, If I record on any track, I have to put the yellow speaker icon on to listen to the recorded audio. But when I want to play it back, I have to put that icon off, otherwise I cannot listen to the recorded audio. How to resolve it. Kindly advise. Regards.
That is correct Satyaban - it's the monitor button and it enables you to hear what you're recording over the rest of the track. Here's a useful video th-cam.com/video/3c9fyFjXiAk/w-d-xo.html
Mine doesn't record what I'm doing any ideas
Please why is my cubase showing cannot convert this type of file
I got to the create track and clicked instrument. But it only says No VST instrument. What am i doing wrong??
It sounds like no instruments have been installed. Get Steinberg Download Assistant installed and then install all the various VSTs that you need such as Groove Agent and Halion etc
@Born To Produce Okay thankyou so much! I've played guitar for 15 years but new to all this lmao
Hey, I'm having trouble with copying and pasting the kick drums. Any help you can provide? Great video for a complete noob like myself. Thanks
It would help to know what the specific issue you are having is? Copying most things in Cubase can be done easily by holding alt (option on a mac) and clicking and dragging the object you want to copy.
Awww. My is my groove SE empty? There are no banks of sounds when I click Kit 1
Go back to the 'steinberg download assistant', find your version of cubase and install all the 'additional content' :)
@@Borntoproduce I already did Sir. I think it has got to do with the default location. I installed it in different drive butt I can't find the option in Cubase where I can point directory of installed content.
@@Borntoproduce is there any way to download specific sound files? because I don't have 30gb worth of free space on my computer
what's a sound card
I realize this is from like a month ago, but in case you haven't found the answer, sound card is a common term for an audio interface. It's a thing you can use to plug your instruments into your PC, to allow their audio to be cleanly recorded.
Bro.. I tried everything I could but the sound is flickering everytime I open TH-cam to play a backing track.. or if I start guitar pro.. I think it is not taking input from multiple sources ( as in guitar and TH-cam/ Guitar Pro..
Please help - here's the video to show what the problem is
th-cam.com/video/PIMa4SDUmdw/w-d-xo.html
7:06 great so far but apparently you're using VSTs. My cubase doesn't have any sample and vsts in the libraries. Shouldn't we cover that please???
You need to open the Steinberg download assistant, go to the version of Cubase you bought and download all the additional content. Then you'll have all the content you need :)
Lost all my loops and instruments.................... So much problems with Cubase 12..... What can I do to get them back?
You'll need to download the Steinberg download assistant, from there click on your version of Cubase and all the packs, instruments etc are there for you to download
The app on youtube tutorial never looks like the one on your computer, done
It may depend on what version of Cubase you are using, but all the buttons and controls are in the same place. Is there anything specific that is not the same for you?
I've got a long way to go to sound like Infected Mushroom.
Where do I download cubase for Mac
I’m lost.
Why won’t someone do these videos for people trying to record live instruments being played by breathing humans. No drums computers no BPM. Just…. Record.
Exactly what we did here - read all the other comments
bra för dummies
Cubase is not stable system. Always giving a lot of issues. Worst DAW ever..
This was a mess. 8 minutes in and STILL haven't recorded / played a single note. A lot of scrolling all over the place.
Thank you
You're welcome
