The Ultimate Tip for Perfect Mixes Every Time in Cubase (A/B Referencing)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Hey guys! I created a poll a while ago about which DAW you guys are using and the vast majority seems to be using Cubase - which happens to be my favourite DAW too :) So I thought I'd do more videos on Cubase!
On this video, I show you how to do A/B referencing in Cubase when mixing, mastering and producing. This is one of my favourite Cubase Pro tricks of all time! And the best part is it's FREE to set up and use :)

Best Cubase tuition on TH-cam - no contest. This makes referencing while mixing a breeze.
Dom is a great musical polymath and teacher.
Just great ideas, Dom. You are helping so many people with these great tips. They are much appreciated!
This is so cool. Thank you so much :D I love how you're explaining things very nicely and are super excited about it, makes me feel good haha
Your videos are best gifts I'm getting over the year😃!
Absolutely phenomenal. This solved somerhing i have struggled with for years!
I do a lot of covers and am always going back and forth, this is just great!
What a great concept! Thanks for sharing it with us, Dom.
Thanks Gary!
Hey Dom, came from the Cubase tips video, just want to thank you for all the tips with great explanations..I am glad you have your own channel! I really dig the song Cosmic Parenthesis and the solo. Looking forward to more videos from you
Amazing tip Dom! thank you very much!
love you're tips Dom and the excellent and enthusiastic manner in which you present them. Being a Cubase user (for a hobby since Atari Cubase v2 on floppy ), I pick up new tips on 10.5 so quickly from you. Thankyou ! please accept my grateful appreciation.
Fantastic! I compare my mixes to reference tracks by other artists that have a 'sound' my clients want. This just made my life WAY easier.
Wow! Thanks for all your tips on how to get the most out of Cubase. I never knew what the multiband shaper could do before I watched your vid. Saved me a lot of time. Thanks again.:)
Once again a fantastic and helpful video full of practical information. Keep up the great work.
I keep coming back to this tutorial over and over again, each time when I have a brand new setup, or just forgotten how to set up Control Room. Happy New Year 🥳 Dom, all the best for 2022 ! Ronnie
Quite an efficient way to separate listening, I have been involved with this circumstance for many years, Dom. Much appreciated.
One of the best teachers for Cubase!Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Super helpful video. Been wondering how to use control room for separate mixes, this video cleared up that confusion.
Hey Dom,
thank you so much for this video, made my mixing a lot easier!
Great! I like the way you explain with positive energy. A/B reference is very useful in Control room. Appreciate!!
Hey I really like your videos! They're so helpful AND your so excited about this program, a program I've personally been struggling with, that you make me want to power through it and keep goong
Amazing! Having recently swapped over to cubase, then found your channel so have been binge watching your content. Thanks so much 🙏
I've tried unsuccessfully to do this before, but so simple following this step by step guide. thank you!
You're the best man! No lie. I learn so much with your videos it's crazy
If I am not mistaken, the only thing in your setup that is missing is level matching. The processed channel is way louder than the unprocessed one; so you don't fall for the louder-better illusion. Cheers from Serbia!
Have you a solution for this?
@DEEZ LIKES Forcibly modifying audio track gain is very dangerous.
You have a habit of making my life easier... Thank you!
Doing this for ages but needed the KeyCommand. Thank you. Versions is a good idea too, I was using the 3 other CUE's.
Great Info as usual...would love a tutorial on Blackbox!! Thanks Dom!
This helps so much! Thanx Dom!
Keep coming back to this video to improve my knowledge. Not only I can do A/B referencing, but now I can easily switch from one pair of monitors to another, I wanted to do that for years. Thanks, Dom.
Great stuff! Learning lots
Finally, somebody has shown me how to do this! A million thanks!
Awesome! Many thanks Dom!
Great trick which I'll put to a good use right now! Thanks a lot!
I have been practicing this technique since the control room was added to cubase, and I could not do without it so much it is practical.
Dom, this is a great example of learning how to get the most out of what you already have. You have definitely saved me some $$ with this tip as this solves a number of complexities in a very simple way. Brillant work -- thank you!
Awesome tip - thanks!
This is such a great vid, thanks so much. As in all your vids, you provide the best tips so quickly and clearly. Your vids completely take the place of the darn Cubase manual!
wow, this is super useful. Thanks!
Way to go Dom. Greetings from Athens, Greece :)
Great stuff again, Dom.
Having an average of 5 track versions of the same song to master in one session makes setting up Control a perfect reason to say a HUGE thank you to you Master Dom of Cubase and everything music production. Loving your Cubase tutorials, which are really helping me understand its functions way more clearly. I also love and need to setup my Keylab61mk11, so I’ll be going back to closely watch the ‘controller’ setup tutorial you made - which is also fantastic mate!
Great videos and great trick, I now use all the time. Thanks a lot
Thanks for the quality videos and Cubase tips!
Great contributions to the community Dom! Just a note re: other perspectives...I used similar to this previously but the missing element is loudness. Its vital to make equal loudness comparisons for anything except loudness which these days (loudness) is a moot point (level is now set by the streaming services etc and squished 'loud' mixes sound tiny). I ended up eventually using 'Reference' (Im not getting paid for it hehe) but Im sure the others are quite good and what it does give you is instant loudness levelling and a lot of other comparison eg dynamics/freq distribution etc. It saves so much time and so much faster to setup etc but if you dont want to spend $ this is a great way to get started; but you get what you pay for.
More than the referencing you have shown, is the fact that you cover aspects which are a bit blurry in the manual and give them real world application. Excellent!
Thanks, so clearly explained! Nice
Very good tips !!!
Nice Dom. You´ve just made my Cubase project Template even more sexy. We´ve been using Mute / Unmute /Solo and it´s OK so long as you don´t start turning on and off tracks in your mix. This is a much better solution... "All our times have come: DON´T FEAR THE CONTROL ROOM!".
Great tut!
Neat. Never thought of using that. But looks great!
Keep em coming!
As of 2021 still really helpful. Thanks a lot Dom!
This is great, thanks Dom.
Thank you Dom for yours perfects videos .
This is great Dom. Many thanks :)
awesome tip, thx, again!
Great job! Super. Thank You!
OMG Dom I knew this was a thing and could be done but had no idea how for years thank you so much.
Woohoo. I had to watch it many times to follow with setting it up. But I did it. Learned some other Cubase features along the way, like the keyboard shortcuts and routing the sound to a different output. Now to watch the other control room video, to see what more it can do for me. Thanks Dom.
Great tips, thank you Dom ;)
Great, Dom! Thank you.
uhhh wow !!
And funfact ; this stuff even works in Cubase 5.
just assigned a keycommand.
Really amazing detective work :-)
Works like a charm!
Thumbs up + subscribed !! :-)
Hey Dom. Very good tip.!
this is a very cool tip
Dammm only just seen this but this is so much easier than having a ref track at bottom and pressing solo as it always jumps and lags! You’re a life saver man always love you vids for workflow 🔥💯 keep well my guy
Hey Dom Thank U so much 4 ya work!!! One Love from Germany!!!!!
Damn that's fast to set up and it's working like a charm! Thanks a lot!!!
I should have explored your channel much earlier. Your advice is priceless! Esp this one. It makes referencing so much easier. Thx a ton, man!
I Love this Dom - you the Man
This is so cool. Thank you so much :D
Thanks! :) Great video!
Great vedio bro 😍😍😍
Yeeeeaaah!!!! Dooooom!! Friend, thank you sooooooo much!! It's so easy!
I use this, but the short cut is something I didn't use..... well I will be now! Awesome. Thanks Dom 😊 🙏
Thank you Dom , you are my teacher, thank you
thank you so helpful!
I have a much simpler way. Ctrl-Click a channel's solo button and it will be the only one soloed. So you can just Ctrl-Click the two solo buttons back and forth with all the same benefits. I always use a separate mixbus bus all my tracks go to instead of the stereo out. The mixbus does go to the stereo out which has no plugins on it. I mute the commercial reference track(s) and then can just toggle its solo button on and off which is better than my first way. So clicking the solo button on the reference track plays only the reference track while everything else is muted because of that one solo button, and when I hit solo again on the reference track that solo goes off and the mute which was also on the reference track automatically pops back on. Seamless switch between the two.
Yeah man. Great job
You 're THE BEST !!! Thank U
Very good tip :) thank you for that... very much
love this tip.
This is great!
Nice I was going to do this another way this seems better thank you
Until today I was scared of control room, and I laughed a lot of your intro, and ” I dont know what it is TURN IT OOOF ” 😂😂😂 I was whatced again, again,again. Totally AWESOME videos. Thx so much for sharing!
nice concept 🙂
Thank you very much nice tip :)
Amazing, thanks
Very useful 👍
Love you brother!
Dom, Love everything you do! It's a good tip that I will try. Question: Can you also do something similar by having a muted ref track in your project and using the Listen button to go straight to stereo out while bypassing everything on the master buss for similar effect? I don't know if its the same but I use all my cues while recording and was hoping not to burn one to ref. thoughts?
Good Stuff Boss !!!
Thanks mate.
Omg awesome brother what a wonderful video you just saved me some money here, lol!!!! amazing Dom
Thank You!
just great thank you so much
I would love to see a video explaining the colours on your meters :)
Great idea! I might do this, I know most people will find it a bit bored ng but thanks for noticing the colour scheme, it DOES serve a purpose indeed. ;)
great tip thanks for sharing!! do you have any upcoming tutorials on mastering ?
Glad you liked it Andy, yes, things on mastering are on my plans for sure :)
Thanks, Dom! This really helps!!! BTW, this set up works in Nuendo 11, as well...
