I like the way the tutor is working, discovering ways to make things work. I learnt a lot. It’s a shame that the videos keep stopping due to the website being so slow. Best fixed as no one likes stalling videos.
Excellent tutorial as usual Nate. I especially like the midi tips. Thank you.
good course . very helpful to know how to use same Kontakt plug with 1 midi channel on different strings with expression ,took a while to work it out in Logic though . I skipped quite a lot as once I understood the technique there was no need to watch all his edits on every track .Are the vocal samples from a pack for sale somewhere ? Brilliant Thanks 
Hi there @sundles (Craig S3)
My ears telling me that the vocals are coming from this pack
I own this one & there’s an entire folder for Dmin vocals & Add Libs in this pack matching the provided sample.
It’s definitely a good pack IMO, check it out, the pack is available here on Sonic Academy :
yep got it thanks and yes they are good ! another thing I noticed in this course … he purged kontakkt ,if I do this does that mean only the samples in the song are being used leaving memory spare for other stuff ? it doesn’t mess up anything in future projects ,if you see what I mean ? many thanks Stepane :
Hey again @sundles
Yes, the “Purge” feature within NI Kontakt is intended to work dynamically on your active session, it’s just to save RAM & processing power by unloading the Kontakt Instrument samples that you’re not using in this session from memory.
So when you load a new instrument in Kontakt you can see the amount of RAM used by all samples in the “Memory” field, if you use the “Purge All Samples” option, you will see that it falls down to zero. Now if you play any new Midi notes on a controller or if you just playback your Midi sequence from your DAW, Kontakt will only load those samples into memory, therefore saving RAM.
This won’t affect the Kontakt instrument library, so no worries for other projects. Even loading the same instrument again in your instance of Kontakt or in a new one will load all the samples again in fact, and you’ll need to purge this second instance of the instruments too if needed.
It’s also good to know that the Purge options are not only usable per Kontakt instrument but for a all rack as well, click on the “New Instrument” menu ( the Floppy Disk Icon ) and you should find a “Global Purge” Menu that will offer the same options for the all Kontakt rack.
Hope that helps Cheers !

Protocultures voice itself could be an amazing bass sample… great tutorial
Very interesting!!!
This genre is awesome! I love this tutorial.
good!
Super useful!
Another great tutorial - would love to see more like this.
Cool!Thank you so much!!
VERY informative! A couple of tips.
1.) Instead of extracting automation, just have automation record to Automation track.
Click “MIDI”, choose “CC Automation Setup” and set it to “Automation Track” instead of “MIDI Part”
Now you can record directly to the Automation Track.
2.) Instead of deleting tracks, or disabling, flushing libraries etc. you can just Right-Click the track and Disable it then Hide it.
All of the VST instruments & automation associated with that track will also be disabled.
Great Stuff! Keep it coming!

there is a great product called Vienna Ensemble Pro that helps offload the cpu of orchestral samples in your DAW - find out more - plus on youtube there is videos showing from users how even on a single computer you reduce CPU load tremendously using VEP…
I am not affiliated. I found this indepedently a few days ago - hope Protoculture explores this software in his tutorial series
could be a game changer
Super! thanks
I like this course. Learned a lot of useful Cubase tips & trick!
Crying in Ableton over here. I guess I’ll have to get Cubase to get this awesome workflow.
Great tutorial and information!

Always worth trying to translate projects to your own DAW and tools IMHO, even if it’s not always easy, it’s quite an efficient way to make the techniques yours, you don’t have to aim to the exact same result.
Also, keep to mind that Nate has been working for years with Steinberg Cubase as his main DAW at the time this course was recorded ( he’s now mainly using Bitwig Studio I believe ), so what could be perceive as an “awesome” workflow has also to do do with the tutor’s experience with Cubase, and everything installed and configured to work smoothly 
Get a demo first if you’re interested I’d say, Cubase is certainly a very efficient DAW, but definitely not as intuitive as Ableton Live and the installation isn’t that smooth either.
There are courses for Cubase on the website though if you decide to take the plunge
