    In this video, I go step by step though the Ultimate Mixing Checklist in Cubase, though this process is the same for any DAW. This is the same mixing tips checklist we go through for every commercial project that leaves our studio. Learn about the top categories that can trip up most mixes and producers and ways to avoid them, and the top mixing techniques in Cubase that you can use in your own projects.

    I am really loving your videos! I just had a question, unfortunately I am at the point where a lot of my projects over the years have gotten nested and give me lots of anxiety lol. How would you recommend fixing this? I find cubase isn’t quite as straightforward with saving projects as Logic Pro, but I I really prefer cubase. Any info would be incredible. Thanks again!

    • @Featherlightstudio
      @Featherlightstudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Matt, If your referring to how Cubase actually 'Stores' the project on your hard disk, I find the most helpful thing at the start of a project is ALWAYS create a separate folder for each project, instead of the Cubase default of storing everything in the same default folder.
      The easiest way to do this on older projects that are nested in the default directory, is back the project up to a new project folder.

    • @DuroSamples
      @DuroSamples ปีที่แล้ว

      Open a project and go to file then go to Back Up project. Do this for all of them. In the future follow Steve's advice.
      Be organized.
      ALSO:
      Use your Batch Export for future compatibility scenarios. This is the best Archive method to ensure you can open DATA 20 years from now. All tracks will be rendered as Audio Stems even your grps, reverbs and delays fx...

    You mentioned using a separate 2 channel set up for mastering, but does that mean apart from having say a limiter on the stereo output all other plugins should be left out till the mastering ? Thanks

    • @Featherlightstudio
      @Featherlightstudio  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Generally yes, as you want to leave yourself more than enough headroom to work on your master file and if its squashed on the way out of the DAW, you kind of paint yourself into a corner before you start.

    Hi I thought the gain staging was done at the pre stage and not via the track fader, as the further done the fader you travel the closer the DB division becomes

    • @Featherlightstudio
      @Featherlightstudio  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On modern day DAW's almost all engines run at 32 bit now. Gain staging is cumulative so good gain staging at the beginning of the signal chain is just as important as it is through out each stage of the project.

  • @vaclav397
    @vaclav397 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi there
    Please explain why are all the faders in different positions if they should be in the zero position?
    I am new to Cubase. Thanks

    • @Featherlightstudio
      @Featherlightstudio  ปีที่แล้ว

      'Starting' with the faders in the zero position simply affords you a better overall perspective of what's actually on each channel. Before the Mix can be set ( Faders all different levels ) proper gain staging must be considered sense this affects the Mix directly. 05:44

    You're missing one very important advice, that should be right at the top of your list, for anyone using Cubase Pro or Nuendo. Turn on the ControlRoom feature!!!! And place any effect that you don't want to print (such as room correction EQ) there. That way you'll never run the risk of forgetting to turn it off, and accidentally print your mix with the room correction active. This happens all the time, and has ruined countless mixes.
    It's no fun sending away, or upload a mix, a mix only to find out that it sounds weird everywhere, but in your studio!

      Heh Jack, While each track can only have 1 VSTi, that VSTi track can have as many MIDI tracks controlling it as your computer can push. If the VSTi is multitimbral like Halion SE, Kontak, ect, you can have separate MIDI tracks controlling each VSTi part at the same time.

      @@jackc8120 as far as I know older synths like Sylenth weren't multitimbral like the newer Serum, Massive, ect, so you would have to load an instance of the synth for each track or part. Newer stuff like Omnisphere, ect you can load one instance and then create several MIDI tracks to control it.
