Cubase ai 6 torrent how to#
The sounds in this song are all made using Cubase instruments, or a free instrument called Vital, which we show you how to download and install (this is one of the best synths around so totally worth it). There are a few really important plugin effects like EQ, compression, delay & reverb that are important, even at the beginner stage, so we focus on teaching the basic uses of these. This is not black magic, this is just easy to understand, simple, repeatable steps. Once you have this you can then use this as a musical framework to make many other musical elements for your track. Cubase makes this easy, and you will leave this module with a simple 'step by step' process, you can use in any project to come up with your own original chord progressions. Many people new to music production stay away from making their own chord progressions and melodies. Here you will start to learn how to navigate Cubase's interface, importing sounds and instruments, and editing them to create the elements of your track. Making a basic beat in the first lesson and adding to it as the tutorial progresses. If Live mode is activated, there is no latency, which is better for live processing.You'll get started with Cubase in the easiest way possible. Look-ahead produces more accurate processing, but adds a specific amount of latency as a trade-off. If this button is activated, the look-ahead feature of the effect is deactivated. As a general guideline, RMS mode works better on material with few transients such as vocals, and Peak mode works better for percussive material with a lot of transient peaks. RMS mode operates using the average power of the audio signal as a basis, whereas Peak mode operates more on peak levels. A value of 0 is pure peak and 100 pure RMS. Analysis (Pure Peak to Pure RMS)ĭetermines whether the input signal is analyzed according to peak or RMS values, or a mixture of both. If the Auto button is activated, the plug-in automatically finds the best release setting for the audio material. Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level when the signal drops below the threshold. Short hold times are useful for DJ-style ducking, while longer hold times are required for music ducking, for example, when working on a documentary film. Sets the time the applied compression affects the signal after exceeding the threshold. If the attack time is long, more of the early part of the signal passes through unprocessed. Attack (0.1 to 100 ms)ĭetermines how fast the compressor responds to signals above the set threshold. If the Auto button is activated, the knob becomes dark and the output is automatically adjusted for gain loss. Make-Up (0 to 24 dB or Auto mode)Ĭompensates for output gain loss, caused by compression. If Soft Knee is activated, the onset of compression is more gradual, producing a less drastic result. If this button is deactivated, signals above the threshold are compressed instantly according to the set ratio (hard knee). A ratio of 3:1 means that for every 3 dB the input level increases, the output level increases by 1 dB. Sets the amount of gain reduction applied to signals above the set threshold. Only signal levels above the set threshold are processed. Threshold (-60 to 0 dB)ĭetermines the level where the compressor kicks in. Compressor also features a Gain Reduction meter that shows the amount of gain reduction in dB, Soft knee/ Hard knee compression modes, and a program-dependent auto feature for the Release parameter. Compressor features a separate display that graphically illustrates the compressor curve that is shaped according to the Threshold and Ratio parameter settings.
