I was watching you last night on that cubase 11 tutorial and you made me cry with how beautiful the teaching and music you created, it was like the perfect training session I have ever had, your a gifted man and I'm so happy to have found you
Really nice idea for this kind of video. I've been producing for the last couple of years and I think one of the major mistakes beginners make is, that they're trying to get their hands on the "best" software version and/or the best plugins possible (or pirating lol!), because they think that only 'then' they're going to achieve the sound they need. Many people don't know or perhaps don't believe/understand that you can achieve a great sound using only stock plugins. I know producers who used to make tutorial mixing and whole production videos by using only free plugins and really cheap/beginner hardware and it sounded great. So my tipp on all new beginners. Don't go and buy/pirate the pro version of Cubase [any DAW you like] and try to get your hands on a gold/platinum pack of a VST Plugin manufacturer it's not worth your time and money unless you've been doing music production for quite amount of time then go ahead, but for all you beginners out there: Watch tutorials and only use your stock plugins and maybe download some great free ones. My suggestion: TDR Nova [best Free EQ on the market] Lisp by Sleepy Time DSP [an easy to handle De-esser] VST Instruments by Ample Sounds [some nice sounding vst instruments such ass e-bass and acoustic guitars!]
We use Frequency ALL the time in our productions - it combines some of the best features of some great 3rd party EQ plug-ins and it is STOCK in Cubase. Quadrafuzz and Chopper are really useful as well. I could go on and on as Cubase comes with so many excellent quality, easy to use plug-ins. We would be well-served by getting familiar with the stock content before spending loads of money on stuff that's out there that Cubase probably already does quite well. Dom's tutorials are awesome, by the way!
You're fantastic. I am new at sound engineering. I have some very basic knowledge of cubase. I have learned SO much from your vidoes. VERY helpful. Thanks, Dom!
I’ve exclusively used the Cubase stock plugins for the last 10+ years and never had the need for third party plugins. I’ve recently started using some third party plugins such as Waves Dynamic EQ and few Izotope plugins to complement the Cubase plugins.
Was sorting plugins I'd never really used, specifically looking for a multiband compressor, when I realised the stock one in cubase had more of the functionality I was looking for than the Waves one, or the IK Multimedia one. It was only then that I noticed the MB envelope shaper, still haven't found a use for it, but I might go looking now you've posted this :-) Also, I forgot I had 'Frequency and given the extended features of that, including the piano keyboard reference, it's a blessing. Enjoy your music, bro
Cubase's plugins are out of this world. I recently switched to Cubase from years of Studio One and before that FL. I never expected Cubase to feel like such a step up compared to other daws ( personally ofcourse ). Thanks for giving the hardstyle community a shoutout btw hehe
Hey Dom, thank you for reminding me of these awesome stock plugins. One thing I'd like to mention. That is the video you did using Frequency and its ability to sidechain frequency out of the way of one another. Allowing a more separation and balanced mix. You rock brother. 💪💪💪
I am still on Cubase 5, so I'm enjoying your video quite a lot. 12:57 > The top end is fantastic in cubase. I use the default EQ all the time when I'm mixing. Also love that little keyboard on the EQ and it is interacting with the material and the bands that you activate. Cool idea and really handy. Thumbs up from me !
I still have Cubase 5 but haven't used it in forever. Lol I also have Reason 9.5, Studio One 4, Sonar Platinum, Ableton Live 10 and Cakewalk by Bandlab. I use all of them but, I'll probably go buy Cubase Pro 10. I am addicted to all of them.
YES! More knowledge gained! So much so, that I hope I can retain it all and actually put it into use! I had NO IDEA that Quadrafuzz could do anything, but add distortion. My gosh, you can add a delay to particular frequency section only?! !!! Thanks so much for your time and knowledge sharing again Dom!
Dom, the vintage and tube compressors - those are exceptionally good! And maximizer in modern mode, try to use it as an effect in parallel on drums or synthesizers, it can blow your mid!
Great Video Dom as always. I think I also have a tip for You. For Haas effect You can use Mixer Delay in Cubase. It's much faster and it also has distance calculator built in. I use it all the time :)
frequency is an incredible simple but powerful tool, it takes something from sonnox eq, something from proQ3, also from waves hybrid.... It has all you need to fix problems like stationary waves or resonances, due to very narrow cuts...and it has linear phase and mid side too! Maybe is not the best when adding colors, compared to other like maag eq or gml, it would be interesting if steinberg would implement something like waves hybrid, another modeled eq type directly in frequency for example tube eq with artifacts.... Another great stock plug in in cubase are loopmash, very creative and manglin', and Midi Gate...it works perfectly!
extremely helpful Mr. Sigalas. I can also understand you very well although I don't speak English every day now. You can pack so many tips and tricks into a few minutes, it is a real pleasure to listen - every second seems valuable in this video.
Great Video 😊😊😊... The Best DAW is a very subjective statement couse we all experience things different, but Cubase is the most complete DAW at the moment and that's a fact...
That super wide trick is very cool. Last year I decided to master my stock plugins and ditch third party subscriptions. Not saying we shouldn't use third party but if you can master stock then you'll know when to dip into third party and actually understand what you're doing. This vid was great. Still plugins I'm not using obviously.
When I saw your post, my first thought was the multiband envelope shaper. That plugin is amazing, and like you said, it blew my mind when I found out about it because it saved me on a poorly recorded drum track!
Thank you very much. Love these kind of videos appreciating what we already have in a world where videos are usually only made for new stuff did sale. Thanks
Gave you a like and then had to leave this comment. Bro I love that you groove while exploring the options! This video came in just in time while I’m mixing and you introduced me to plugins I’ve seen but not used as you have. Thanks, keep it up!
Great information! I have been a long time Cubase user. Cubase VST 3.0. By far my favorite DAW. I just fired up the studio after a long break. I look forward to doing some really cool projects.
Excellent video man - I have used all of these in Nuendo but you use them differently and really effectively. Quadrafuzz and Frequency are my faves. I also like the Vintage comp a lot.
I'm fairly new to Cubase Pro but one thing I think that would be great with plug-ins would be the facility to just select a different tab in the top right corner to switch to any other plug-in that you have in your project, instead of having separate windows for each plug-in. This may be possible and maybe I just haven't found how to do this yet? DP has this feature, it's efficient and it makes life easier.
nice!! quadrafuzz 2 gets a lot of hate from loads of people who are stuck on the ease of use of the first one but V2 is just as simple to use, it just has far more flexibility.....
Maaaaan Dooom!!! glad and happy to see you on tutorials. thank you so so so so much. Super great effect my music sound great since I follow your tutorials.
That was a great video! I just started using Cubase again. My last version was V5, so it's been a while.I'm excited to put these plugins to use, so thanks for showing them here. Also, thanks for wearing the Atari shirt. My first midi system was an Atari with Hybrid Arts SMPTE track.
Dom, you are amazing. I just discovered you!! Loved and learned on each video. My request would be to cover ALL the Cubase stock effects and processors especially the ones on the channel strip. For example I never knew about the QuadraFuzz or Destroyer. I don’t often use fuzz because they are too harsh to my ears. I’ll give these a look hopefully today on a guitar track I just recorded.
Agree completely. I use the stock plugins from Cubase and they are second to none and I also have Pro Tools so I can compare with those stock plugins and they fall way short. The only Cubase stock plugin I think could use some improvement is the stock compressor. But then there's the tube compressor and OMG!
Pfff..fine...one more channel I had to subscribe to now that I'm getting back in the studio after many years and I just bought Cubase 10. Taking notes here, well done sir :)
3rd time I watched this and got more tips. Thanks it’s very useful. Can you do more videos on the Cubase stock plugins. The compressors (normal, tube and vintage), the reverbs for vox, guitar, drums. & Best Saturation stock plugins. Or just treatments for vox, guitars, bass & drums with the stock plugins. Thanks again!
Subscribed, very good video which showed me plugins I never used in Cubase. I have one question regarding Hass effect and that stereo delay plugin trick you showed. To ddo this do put that delay plugin as FX channel and route your vocals (classic normal way) or you just put stereo delay directly on vocal track? Thank you. Lucas
Thanks Dom, for being inspiring. It's very obvious that you are passionate about what you do and have genuine fun creating with no boundaries. I've been a Cubase user since VST-5 came with my Tascam USB 1.0 Interface waaay back in the day. :-) I've been a pro user and upgraded every year since. Many times I get frustrated because the program is so vast I feel overwhelmed when I need to take small ideas and grow them in to something better. I've watched so many beginner tutorials and then I lose interest after trying to make things work trying to form what I've learned around what I need out of a DAW. Sometimes I'm more concerned about doing it "right" and getthung up in setting up the initial tracks that I lose my inspiration and have to come back later. Cubase has gotten much more workflow-friendly over the years. I'm looking forward to working with Cubase 10.5 and my new UR44c. (Finally I've found an audio interface that just WORKS with Cubase right out of the box...no fiddling with software, buffer sizes, ASIO driver compatibility, etc.) You are obviously very talented and yet seem very down to earth. Practical Music. Your ideas are relatable and something I can hold on to and have fun with! We seem to share the same approach to music "Fun with Excellence". Carry on, good man. I'm really glad I found your channel. P.S. Your Atari and Commodore 64 shirts are the BEST!
QUESTION DOM!! Can you do a video on how to get your delay to come in after the vocals so you dont have a delay on the complete vocal. would that be some sort of compression trick you have me thinking since i have been watching you thank you in advance.
I was watching you last night on that cubase 11 tutorial and you made me cry with how beautiful the teaching and music you created, it was like the perfect training session I have ever had, your a gifted man and I'm so happy to have found you
0:48 Multiband Envelope Shaper
4:00 Quadrafuzz
7:01 Stereo Delay
9:14 Distroyer
11:47 Frequency
Just Channel Strip in Cubase is amazing too.
Really inspired by you Dom you always give new information great job 😍😍😍

Mind already blown from the first plugin. Cubase user since 10 years just got 10.5 pro and excited asf
Great video, bro, glad to have found your channel, I'm looking forward to seeing and learning from your other videos as well :)
Great video! Thank you for not talking to much and for letting us hear the results. This is really informative and even enjoyable to follow.
You're fantastic. I am new at sound engineering. I have some very basic knowledge of cubase. I have learned SO much from your vidoes. VERY helpful. Thanks, Dom!

As a beginner I really enjoyed all. Thank you. I'm using Cubase 10.5. I think there are a lot of things I need to learn.
I'm in the same situation... re-learning after 10 years and almost 60 to boot.
Frequency eq definitely cannot live without this
Hey Dom, thank you for reminding me of these awesome stock plugins. One thing I'd like to mention. That is the video you did using Frequency and its ability to sidechain frequency out of the way of one another. Allowing a more separation and balanced mix. You rock brother. 💪💪💪
Ι had been using the vintage quadrafuzz on bass for years, having it redesigned it for Cubase 10 proved it still has potential!
Dom - dude the excitement you display is infectious - love your videos man
Thanks for sharing. Yes, I should use the stock plugins more. I use Frequency all the time, and yes, It put that little extra on the mix.
I am still on Cubase 5, so I'm enjoying your video quite a lot.
12:57 > The top end is fantastic in cubase. I use the default EQ
all the time when I'm mixing.
Also love that little keyboard on the EQ and it is interacting with the material and
the bands that you activate. Cool idea and really handy.
Thumbs up from me !
I still have Cubase 5 but haven't used it in forever. Lol
I also have Reason 9.5, Studio One 4, Sonar Platinum, Ableton Live 10 and Cakewalk by Bandlab. I use all of them but, I'll probably go buy Cubase Pro 10. I am addicted to all of them.
YES! More knowledge gained! So much so, that I hope I can retain it all and actually put it into use! I had NO IDEA that Quadrafuzz could do anything, but add distortion.

Dom, the vintage and tube compressors - those are exceptionally good!
And maximizer in modern mode, try to use it as an effect in parallel on drums or synthesizers, it can blow your mid!
100% agreed! And the Modern mode on the Maximizer is indeed killer!!!
Maximizer definitely helps my POS drumkit sound much better, almost a miracle worker on snares.
I use that maximiser all the time -- it alm,ost feels like cheating!
I use Cubase for years, always using the stock plugins.
Great Video Dom as always. I think I also have a tip for You. For Haas effect You can use Mixer Delay in Cubase. It's much faster and it also has distance calculator built in. I use it all the time :)
frequency is awesome, i use it on everything , great dynamic eq too
One of the best Cubase channels! Keep on doing your good work! I have used Cubase since Atari days and I think it’s the best
Cubase stock plugins are very underrated and are so good that you actually dont need anything else. 👍✌
I'm on Cubase LE and I quite okay with them. There are lots of 80's and 90's instruments I can play with.
And not to forget the Multi-Tap-Delay, which can do almost everything. 😉
Of course! This deserves a video on its own!
frequency is an incredible simple but powerful tool, it takes something from sonnox eq, something from proQ3, also from waves hybrid....
It has all you need to fix problems like stationary waves or resonances, due to very narrow cuts...and it has linear phase and mid side too!

Thank you Andrea! Glad you found it useful! And so glad I sound clear to you as I am not native either hahaha
@@DomSigalas I see, therefore your wind blows 😆
Great selection, Dom! I agree, these plugins are great and unfortunately forgotten most of the time. Also, beautiful view! Cheers!
Another really cool plugin is the MonoToStereo plugin, super simple but really great for vocals and even guitars
Watched a lot of your Cubase videos. This was one of your best. I have been convinced!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks Dom!
Great Video 😊😊😊... The Best DAW is a very subjective statement couse we all experience things different, but Cubase is the most complete DAW at the moment and that's a fact...
Got the cubase11 pro cuz of you,now I've to learn this new daw,but it's ok, it's my fav daw now, thank you

I love quadrafuzz! use it often on bass and electric guitar. it can give so much body and saturation! and thanks for the tip with the haas effect!
Quadrafuz 2 and the multi and envelope shaper have been my goto plug-ins for many years.
Thanks you for your great videos, which have shown me the power of Cubase, even though I’ve been using it since 1994!
Awesome video 👍😎. Thank you. Keep up the good work 😃
Great list! Loopmash is another favorite. It can do some crazy things.
Wow, Dom, it is your usual very high quality vidz again!!!
Thanks a lot!!! You inspire us ALWAYS!!!
Adri from Holland
Thanks Adri!!!!
the tube compressor amazing
Thank you very much. Love these kind of videos appreciating what we already have in a world where videos are usually only made for new stuff did sale. Thanks

Εισαι αρχηγος! All your cubase videos has something interesting to show ! Ευχαριστούμε!
Man Dom you look like. your having so much fun ...great to see .. keep on making music man ....
Thanks Brian! Glad it comes out this way :) you too!
Excellent video man - I have used all of these in Nuendo but you use them differently and really effectively. Quadrafuzz and Frequency are my faves. I also like the Vintage comp a lot.
The only stereo delay I ever use is the stock one... it's fantastic on vocals and guitar solos. It's my 'go-to and then stop' delay.
Just a great video. So much enthusiasm and great tips. Thanks so much!
Hey Dom, plug-in #5 ain't normal. It seems to be the most versatile. Keep up the good work!
My mind is completely blown. So informative. Cubase is deep. Thinking it’s time to update my dinosaur Cubase 7 ;-)
I still use SX!😂
I'm fairly new to Cubase Pro but one thing I think that would be great with plug-ins would be the facility to just select a different tab in the top right corner to switch to any other plug-in that you have in your project, instead of having separate windows for each plug-in.

Great video, honestly I have tons of plugins but Frequency is definitely my go to.
You are the man my friend, I never know this plugins were present in Cubase.
Great video, this channel is so legit
Maaaaan Dooom!!! glad and happy to see you on tutorials. thank you so so so so much. Super great effect my music sound great since I follow your tutorials.
Oh man that’s so good to hear!!!
Great Video,thanks! I'm still pretty impressed by that Haas-Effect :-D But one of the greatest plugins, I love to use in cubase is the multitap delay.
Dude your a Genius ... in the true sense:)
This is godsend channel, I apply the stereodelay technique to my lead guitar channel to get wide sound.
Frequency is the main EQ I use on top of effects
Before effects it's normally the standard eq
JUST WHAT I NEEDED THIS MORNING IN 2021 :-) THANKS SO MUCH, DOM FOR ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO
Haas effect is really eye opening :) thx man
That was a great video! I just started using Cubase again. My last version was V5, so it's been a while.I'm excited to put these plugins to use, so thanks for showing them here. Also, thanks for wearing the Atari shirt. My first midi system was an Atari with Hybrid Arts SMPTE track.

good stuffs over here all the time thanks for your help bruh!!!!!❣❤❤ Love from india
Only one of them I was using, now I am asking my self why😄?Thanks Dom you are always my best teacher, Thanks a lot, from Algeria
When i saw the Delay trick, i thought "ok I love this guy". Thank you maaaan
Stereo EVERYTHING :) Happy you liked the tip :)
@@DomSigalas Yeah I will really try it on EVERYTHING
Great channel man!

one plugin I really miss from Steinberg is the ME Spectralizer. Simple but effective. Used it on both guitars an kick
Top video as always Dom, thanks as always
Cubase comes along with some great plugins and I do appreciate to be remembered about that fact. Appreciation... luckily no blown mind. ;)
Incredibly informative and very useful, many thanks.
Pfff..fine...one more channel I had to subscribe to now that I'm getting back in the studio after many years and I just bought Cubase 10. Taking notes here, well done sir :)
