Hi Sonic Academy Team

 

I recently found time to dig into SA. It is not possible to find words for my appreciation of your work and quality!

 

I have (since I checked a lot in little time) some requests.


1. Delay Trick in Cubase
In tutorial 87 (of Tech Tips Volume 8) you showed Delay Tricks in Ableton. The used delay tool had a „repitch“ function. How do you do this in Cubase, or which VST is providing „repitch“?

 

2. Multiband Gating in Cubase
In tutorial 95 (of Tech Tips Volume 9) you explained Multi Band Gating in Locig Pro. How do you do this in Cubase?

 

3. Macro Controller in Cubase
In „Advanced Techniques – Drums, Breaks & Builds“ (tutorial 08) you assigned several functions/knobs to one macro controller (Ableton). How can you do this in Cubase?

 

4. Bass Processor in Cubase
In „Mixing – Creating Space“ (tutorial bass 09) you created a bass processor in Ableton? How do you do this in Cubase (how can you split a channel in order to work on each independently)?

 

In addition to this I would like to ask you the following

 

5. Why do you keep percussion loops generally outside of the drum group?

6. Is there a waveshaper for vst as in the Ableton saturator?

7. How did you create the guitar loops in "How to make Disco Loops" (is this possible only with midi and vst)?

 

I am one of your biggest admirors and appreciate your work. Because of you the quality of music increases – and you know that too! I kindly ask you to help me with my questions. I have put a lot of effort in following and understanding your tutorials and need the answers to complete „my studies“.

 

Thank you so much in advance!!

2. Multiband Gating in Cubase

3. Macro Controller in Cubase

4. Bass Processor in Cubase



you need a FX chaniner/ rack plugin



Check here and here>> The Newest Plugins, VST, AU & AAX Music Software - Page 1 of 546



Ill have a further look myself and see if i can get some more concrete info





5. Why do you keep percussion loops generally outside of the drum group?



I tend to process main drums and percs separately… using different reverbs and compression etc. just really to keep them grouped for easier processing.



6. Is there a waveshaper for vst as in the Ableton saturator?



Not sure ill have a look.



7. How did you create the guitar loops in “How to make Disco Loops” (is this possible only with midi and vst)?



Used a real guitar for that… you could try something like this
