It's the most GRUNGEical time of the year [Cubase Pro 13 Music Production | UK]
Просмотров 353 месяца назад
In this music production stream, we're getting GRUNGY. We're using Cubase 13 Pro because we make smart choices in life. This video is a re-upload of the live stream as there was an odd audio glitch during the broadcast. Oops. I can't answer ALL your questions, but I can certainly try. Here's some stuff I know about: - Cubase - Music Composition - Music Production - Sound Design - Chord Theory -...

    28:00, I have noticed that you usually use the vintage compressor instead of the other. Is there any reason to do so? I usually struggle with the Cubase compressor to get a decent sound. Is the vintage compressor easier to use? I don't quite understand its parameters.

    • @LTGuitarist
      @LTGuitarist 11 дней назад

      Great question - yes, you're right, I do use the vintage compressor a lot. Compressor plugins are interesting because they all basically do the same thing, they just achieve it in a slightly different way or try to emulate a specific piece of famous kit. The good news is that once you learn the settings for one compressor, you basically know how they all work. The bad news is that it's hard to know which compressor to use and when! I do like the basic compressor in Cubase, but I found the presets for bass and drums in the vintage compressor to be more satisfying. I like the tube compressor for guitars as well! Hope that helps!

      @@LTGuitarist I tried using the Cubase compressor (not the vintage one, the other) for louder drums but usually I get a sound that feels weaker when compressed, I don't know why, like if part of the frequencies get lost. The compressor with threshold, analysis, etc., seems by far more complex than the vintage one, that is why I asked. Maybe the vintage one is simpler to use. Like I say, with the other I struggle a lot to make the sounds louder. I read a book about mixing but I'm still without knowing what I'm doing wrong when compressing. For melodic instruments I use the multiband compressor and I get louder sounds easily but for percussive sounds such as drums with a normal compressor I find it very difficult.

    @asamiyashin444 28 дней назад

    I liked the chords analysis at the end. I was wondering which chords were the non-diatonic ones and which function they played. I always like to know the theory behind "weird" chords. I have composed for a long time basically with diatonic chords and I like to test new chords which are non-diatonic, so these things are very helpful. I don't understand very well the function of slash chords, though. I have been experimenting with them but the sound changes are sometimes too subtle and I don't get how that translates into bass lines (sometimes with a bunch of notes, and not just the root). And these days I'm experimenting with open voicings with pads/strings and I don't understand very well how they work, because if one wants to have them not too low and not too high, that is, in the same register more or less, inversions are mandatory, but that changes the bass note and sometimes I want it to be the root. I see that you don't usually use open voicings in your composition streamings so I guess it would be a good idea to do one about them?

    What if you DONT KNOW how to do all that?? How can you track the time signature and bpm in Cubase to tell you what it is ?

    • @LTGuitarist
      @LTGuitarist 28 дней назад

      So the time sig is always 4/4 when you start a new project and the BPM is always 120. Both of those are in the transport panel (the moveable box with the play and stop buttons, etc) and you can change them by clicking and typing in new numbers. If you want to alter them through the course of a piece then you need to use tempo or time signature tracks, as per this video. Hope that helps, happy to answer any more questions!

    • @LTGuitarist
      @LTGuitarist Месяц назад

      I'd love to try and help :) So I'm anti-Behringer in general. They're affordable, sure, but in my experience the price isn't worth what you sacrifice in build quality. They're also not very nice people. So, that aside... I love the monologue. Great value for the price, it integrates with other gear really well. You can set up sequences or play it live like a keyboard. I love the sound of it too, big fan. The only downside is the small sized keys, as my hands are particularly large, but that's not a problem for everyone. Hope that helps, I'd love to know how you get on!

    12:15, That made me startle. I didn't expect my nickname to be mentioned here 😮. I remember I asked that question about intros time ago. My nickname is because I was living in Japan and I picked the surname Asamiya from the 80's live action series "Sukeban Deka" and Shin is a name I thought as a nickname. The surname comes first because in Japan they write it that way but I should have put Shin Asamiya 😅. I usually watch your streams after, here, in RUclips, but as I said before I think I'm missing some of them because I can't find them in the channel or the streams playlist.

    • @LTGuitarist
      @LTGuitarist Месяц назад

      Hey! Yeah it's weird hearing your own name when you don't expect to XD All the live streams are archived in the playlist - it's currently the 3rd row on my Channel: ruclips.net/p/PLf_o4hrSq6nQDDLaHCuqpRQzfxrqgVwou :) I've just double-checked, that is all of them. There's also the Live tab on my Channel but that won't include streams that had to be uploaded manually.

      @asamiyashin444 Месяц назад

      ​​@@LTGuitarist And about the playlist, yes, that is the one I have in my favourites but I think that around 300 is a very low number for the streamings you have been doing. Sometimes I see a notification of a live stream and then I search for it in the playlist later and I can't find it there. That is why I thought that some of them could be missing from the playlist. And in your channel videos tab it seems that not all the videos are listed. I have seen that in other channels as well. I don't know if it is some configuration or if RUclips does it automatically but I like browsing all the videos to see if I missed some interesting one and on those channels I can't.

      Ok, so I had a rummage (it took ages) and there were about 40 vids that were, for no real reason, not on the playlist. I've added them now. Also worth remembering that the streams have been monthly for a while now, so obviously fewer than before !
