Chris, this is excellent. You're fast becoming my go-to resource for Cubase information! When I finally get my new studio set up and upgrade from Cubase Pro 9.5 to 11, I might well look at taking your course. Thanks for all the great tutorials.
Tips from me: 1) set shortcut for _Write Automation - Selected Track_ to *W* 2) set shortcut for "Automation follows events", I use free key */* 3) enable "Show used automation automatically" 4) set bigger PPQ 5) increase automation resolution 6) and also it is possible to use line drawing tool for drawing cuts easily ??? Working with automation never was so pleasant
Chris... Just want to let you know that you are very interesting in your presentations, you are very animated while delivering a clear message which really works. I've checked out some other channels on automation and I almost fell asleep. Then made a search for yours and then boom!!! Less than 1 minute into the video and I'm loving it already... Can't wait to see the whole thing... Thanks Again Chris!!!
Hi Chris, fantastic Cubase tips. I wondered, would you be doing a video on the Cubase preferences list. A quick guide to each parameter. I can't seem to find any one who has. Oh dear, did I just hear your head hit the desk? 🤓 Your channel is the only one I watch about Cubase. Love it. 🥰
great tips! thank you. I have one easier way to do a thing - to sync audio to automation, you don't have to go to "edit", you can simply click on the icon on the automation panel right on the screen, near when it's written "touch". there's an icon there that does exactly that, I use it all the time
Is there a way yet to draw automation over multiple tracks the way that logic and pro tools allows? For example, selecting identical automation over adjacent tracks, and drawing it in one movement, with a mouse, without using additional VCA faders? That has been a workflow killer for me in cubase, and it has kept me from making a switch.
How can I see the automation labe for the last touched parameter? Or do I need to enable Write automation, move the parameter, close Write automation and then go to the automation lane to edit it?

Thank you for the video Chris! I was wondering if you or anyone in the comments could help me with a workaround for the following issue in cubase... Often times when I am working on a production I get to a point where i am decently into a mix and then the artist wants to re record a part. The problem I run into is that the inserts that I have used cause lets say 40-60ms of latency. Is there an option to disable the insert (like in pro tools) instead of just bypassing (which doesn't reduce latency) The only way so far that I have found to get rid of this latency is to delete the insert off of the channel which is kind of inconvenient when moving quickly with a client. Any insight would be much appreciated!
Can I setup cubase in "Import Options for MIDI Files" in a way that will use kontakt multipatch set up as if it was HALion ? I mean i save a kontakt multipatch with all the general midi I like and then cubase loads theme with program change on each track importing a midifile ready to be played as it does with HALion in the option "Import Options for MIDI Files" ? thanks
Great work Chris...I was wondering if you could expand this type of tutorial to cover Logical Editor and apply to automation eg You can compress velocities in midi events by applying eg 0.25 to get 4:1 compression...would be very cool...not only to scale, which moves the whole lot but be able to iteratively apply eg 1.25:1 to calm fader movements etc using a threshold...just a thought?
Great video! Thanks! Do you know when converting VST(Instrument track with MIDI events) into Audio event, the automation of the VST track would be reflected in that Audio event? Or, should I convert without automation, and then copy it to Audio track from VST one? thanks
Convert your VSTi MIDI by using "Render in Place" and keep the Processing to Dry, that will bounce your VST Channel on an Audio track and keep all automation and plugins as it was on your VSTi Channel :)
@@mixdownonline After responding, I just had to buy your course, even I have a subscription to Groove3. Is your course permanent, without expirations? Could I ask another questions from my course page? Thanks, Igor.

Hi Chris, great video! Just one question, which gain plugin to recommend for volume automation in cases where we're still in production mode and do not want to automate the faders yet? I have the free Bluecat gain tool but it just doesn't seem to work right in for automation. Thanks!
Hey Chris. I use Automation heaps but these tips I have never used- I will now. 1 quick question: Is there a way to make the automation curves brighter in their lane if you are using a darker color on your project channel? Thanx Heaps.
Hi, you show that a lot in your videos, but I can´t recreate it. How can I use the selection tool in Cubase for marking a certain area of a waveform and simultaniously cut the selection left and right like with the scissor symbol? Is this able with an additional key-command? Thank you :)
This is a complete novice question but see when i'm applying a volume automation point in the automation lane, clicking my initial marker always moves the volume slightly and it's super annoying. Is there a way I can place a first marker without it slightly altering the volume I've already set via fader?
Good night master, I didn’t make it to assist at 10:30 as at this hour I have self to teach another young people some secrets. Do my padawan trained eyes see some vocal throws in your track examples? 😸 By the way, if you have a receipt how to apply automation to some people with high decision attributions at work, it would be nice. I would trim and re trim them 😼😼 😹
Hi Chris! Great video!! But i still have a question. Is there a way to lock a minimum value. Let say i have a overhead track and i just want to bump the crash hits but i don’t want to be able to lower the volume under my initial volume. Thanks and you’re my Cubase ressource! :)
I would like to know if you can type in numbers for the waypoints points somewhere instead of having to drag them to a number all the time once the line starts moving around when writing automation etc.
@@MrBeattie2000 select the automation point(s) and use the black info lane at the top. you can type in exact values. the info lane is king for that kind of thing.
I have a question chris .When I was exporting my mix I lose reverb and delays which was on my vocal why? I tried to change settings but no change. Do you have solution for this please?
Hi Chris! At first thanks for the video. I am still confused about the Cubase Pro behaviour of the "touch-automation". Why the touch-automation is working in a different way then in Nuendo? Sadly it is not possible to use the touch-automation as written in the Cubase Pro/Nuendo manual. From the manual: “Touch: Writes automation data as long as you touch a parameter control, punches out when you release the control, and then sets the control to the previously set value.” Right now the written automation does not jump back to the previously set value which is really annoying. Why this is not working as described? Right now it is acting more like a latch mode. So, some other pro users told me that this is a reported bug which should be fixed in version 11. I am not sure right now - maybe you know more about it?!?
You're right, it doesn't work like on Nuendo, you need to have an automation point already for it to work. I don't mind that, but it would be nice to at least have to option to change it as described in the manual.
@@mixdownonline Yes . this is really annoying and for someone who has to work very single day with a DAW this is a no-go. Sadly the workaround takes too many steps (3 steps instead of just use the touch automation). This is a confirmed bug at Steinberg. So, I really hope that they will fix this very soon!!!
Thanks for the video, Chris! Very useful. One question if I may: is it possible to set automation relative to channel fader? I mean, if I have a volume automation on a track, can’t all the automation be linked to the channel fader so If I want to raise the volume of the hole track I won’t need to be selecting all the automation points? Thanks!
You're welcome! To answer your question, It cannot be done this way, that's why the Trim is available. When Trim is activated, the channel Fader controls the Trim level.
Looks like the same keyboard I use and it's from Logickeyboard specifically the Steinberg Nuendo/|Cubase model either for PC or Mac. logickeyboard.com/shop/cubase-nuendo-pc-2127p.html
How to overwrite MIDI automation without creating a new part, replacing or merging? I want to replace live in the controller lane as I record. Only way I can seem to do this is to delete, ANY automation data already there, then record new while having MERGE as the selected option. This is very annoying and it also doesn't show it LIVE only on the EVENT, not in the LANE.
Hi Chris. Is there a way with a single key command to toggle show/hide all automation for all tracks? I tried to do this with macros but I can’t get any results. In logic x you can simply press A to show/hide all tracks automation lanes. Thank you
In the project window, if you right click on any track in the white area near to the name etc., it gives you a menu and you can choose various options to show all selected tracks with automation data or all tracks with automation data. Only 2 clicks so nearly as good as a key command (maybe there is a key command also, can try search in key commands for “show automation data”)
@@mixdownonline yes...! Currently i am doing multitrack recordings for television show, but when they import tracks on FCP , they don't get Timecode to align them , even though i had set my project settings and start time of recording on timeline.
thanks for the video! very clear. i didn't really understand the trim mode before. another way to find your desired automation lane is to click + to add one, click the title, and just type in the search box what you need to find, or select it in the tree. but i think that the reveal option, or right clicking the control when possible is probably the fastest method.
Ηi Chris....one question...!!! i guess automation on plugins or volume affects the cpu very lightly...but if you have like 1000 automation moves on plugins and volume on a project...that will kill the cpu...i make orchestral music and (dont ask me why) i use volume automation a lot....i use automation more than i use modulation on each track...my faders are going up and down like crazy on every second...it makes strings sound great but it kills my cpu after a while...not very quicly....but it always happens in the end...!!! Actually i didnt ask you anything..!!!!! I only told you what i found out!!!!!!
It does the same thing, but this feature is good for all types of Automations and not only Volume automation. I did this with Volume Automation cause it's easier to understand the concept that way, but you can use Trim on a Frequency Band Automation of an EQ plugin for example :-)
If you want to raise or lower a track's volume over all but keep the relative volume automation you have done earlier, I think the answers in the video is not quite satisfactory. I would like to do that with a fader, not selecting ranges and modify with mouse wheel etc. A better answer can be to create a VCA fader, if you have Cubase pro. With that you can change the over all volume without messing with the previous volume automation.
Good observation, if you use Scale Vertically like shown in this video, that will be very close to Relative Volume Automation since it uses percentage values. A VCA fader is also a good option like you mention, but on my side, I never use a VCA Fader to control only one channel. If I only need to change automation by a few dbs, I don't care much if the automation stays to absolute values ;) That could be a good topic for a future video.
Hi Chris .....am using cubase 10.5 when im recording vocal , instrument and vocal are not matching voice are very slow , i dont know wht problem Help mi plz
Cubase and studio one have something in common they look like twins from thesame mother....no difference av never see two Daws that looks and act so much alike
Reduction is pathetic in cubase, setting it before you write there's no relevance unless you keep reperforming it over and over. Just a slider afterwards to adjust number of points like other daws would be nice.

If you want to raise or lower a track's volume over all but keep the relative volume automation you have done earlier, I think the answers in the video is not quite satisfactory. I would like to do that with a fader, not selecting ranges and modify with mouse wheel etc. A better answer can be to create a VCA fader, if you have Cubase pro. With that you can change the over all volume without messing with the previous volume automation.
A group track could also be a possibility. Just remember to to have effect returns in the same group track.
Good observation, if you use Scale Vertically like shown in this video, that will be very close to Relative Volume Automation since it uses percentage values. A VCA fader is also a good option like you mention, but on my side, I never use a VCA Fader to control only one channel. If I only need to change automation by a few dbs, I don't care much if the automation stays to absolute values ;) That could be a good topic for a future video.
we need same studio rack or instr rack as stock plug in 😭
Hi Chris .....am using cubase 10.5 when im recording vocal , instrument and vocal are not matching voice are very slow , i dont know wht problem Help mi plz
Is your Ultimate Cubase Mixing Master Class only for people who have Cubase PRO?
Cubase and studio one have something in common they look like twins from thesame mother....no difference av never see two Daws that looks and act so much alike
Reduction is pathetic in cubase, setting it before you write there's no relevance unless you keep reperforming it over and over.
Just a slider afterwards to adjust number of points like other daws would be nice.
I'm sorry, but you talk too fast and move the curser too quickly. I can't keep up with you.
Take a shot everytime he says the word automation
Thanks so much
