I would like to ask how you can select tracks (MIDI tracks, that is) and use their volume sliders on the mixer simultaneously. I know you can create a group track, but that only seems to be the case for Audio tracks. I also remember there is a way to do what I am looking for (used to do it years ago) but I forgot how to do it. :eek: Any help will be much appreciated. I use Cubase SX v3.

any help would be greatly appreciated. ]]> Cubase wild_eyed http://forum.recordingreview.com/showthread.php?t=24344 http://forum.recordingreview.com/showthread.php?t=24311&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:34:32 GMT adat>fostex vf160>. with the fostex i used sonic foundry (now sony) vegas video for editing/mixing so i do have some working knowledge of non-linear editing. my new setup is a Zoom R16 interface w/ Cubase LE 4 along with a powerful pc, tube mic preamps, ribbon/condensor mics, etc...and using these together are fantastic and my first session this weekend with a band was a breeze. question 1: the limitation of LE 4 is that you have 8 instrument tracks and with my interface i can record 8 tracks simulataneously. i know this may be obvious but i dont know so i'm going to ask. can i take the tracks that i've recorded under instrument tracks and move them into audio track slots (limited to 48) to free up the instrument tracks to record more but still have what i recorded in the audio tracks? question 2: aside some limitation like i described above and some other options i read in a comparison chart, what's the big perk to upgrade to Cubase 5 from LE 4.

I started on tape machines>adat>fostex vf160>. with the fostex i used sonic foundry (now sony) vegas video for editing/mixing so i do have some working knowledge of non-linear editing.

another newbee question..

are there cretain protocols for recording levels ?? for example Always do this and Never do that ??

let me explain...

as a very first recording in cubase i decide to record (in real time) Four seperate Audio tracks ie Bass,Acoustic Guitar,Tom Tom, and Acoustic lead..

i simply recorded each track in real time using a standard Mic in my bedroom without paying any attention to input levels..

what i`ve found is that some of the instruments are Obviously louder than others,,BTW its of no consequence because this was only an experimet to get things going but i`d rather learn the proper way to do it now instead of making massive mistakes that will make it harder in the future and save alot of wasted recording time...What i found when i tried this "First time recording" was that i had NO room left on the input faders to take some instruments DOWN or others UP therefore the mix was wrong from the very beginning

So were do i start when recording Audio levels ?? in other words where do you guys start when you set levels for producing a proper recording..


Thanks in advance

Also, I've been pulling my hair out trying to play VSTi's. Added more RAM and stored my VST plugins on a faster SATA external HD and I'm still having problems recording. Actually I'm having problems recording a simple plain MIDI track without plugins even! All that happens is it seems to clip, and then stops recording but keeps playing. I don't seem to be able to record a clip of more than 10secs. Most of the time it quits recording (all by itself) after 2 secs! :confused::confused::confused:

I'm using a stock soundcard (ASIO Multimedia) in a 1.6Ghz processor with 1.5GB of RAM (Upgrading to 2GB whenever my other mem stick shows up). I understand that the specs seem pretty minimal but is it that I have no problems running Reason 4.0 and only Nuendo seems to have major issues. I opened the VST performance window too and the only thing that happens whenever this skipping or ceasing of recording happens is the red light for CPU light up briefly. My system performance is usually between 3-7% when I check it with Task Manager.

Someone help cos I've been spending money I don't have on what could possibly be a total waste of time.:( ]]> Cubase Vanan http://forum.recordingreview.com/showthread.php?t=24306 http://forum.recordingreview.com/showthread.php?t=24303&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:47:09 GMT I've been playing with the settings of the standard Cubase LE4 reverb, it's called Roomworks something. I know it's a really basic reverb, but do you have any tips for making it sound good?

What I've been trying is to add one insert with a short delay time (around .6) and a lot of mix (over 50) as my basic delay. Then I've added one or two other inserts of the same Roomworks effect with different settings to try to create a reverb. Everything sounds like I'm in the bathroom.

Any advice? (I'm sure a lot of you are going to say: "Buy a decent reverb plugin")

If I run one mic through my Mic200 preamp and into the 'line in' input on the Alpha, and another through the xlr mic input, how do i record both signals together on one track in Cubase LE4? And/or, is it possible to record seperate tracks for them at once without more hardware? ]]> Cubase reinmj http://forum.recordingreview.com/showthread.php?t=24299
