Steinberg Cubase vs logic

[xbitz]

chord track becomes fun from then on when the source is some audio material

Plus, you can set how closely I follow the chord track on a per-track basis (scale, scale-chord, chord, voice as become stricter and stricter) https://steinberg.help/cubase_pro_artis ... rd_track_r

so the tracks follow the chord track, and like other tracks, you can version the chord track as well

what Logic has that Cubase doesn't is the ability to place plugin modulators in MIDIFX slots. Fortunately, the plugin version of Mulab can handle it so

had to do a bit of wiring, but nah

edit: Can Does that gatekeeper plugin show the incoming audio signal?

^^^ nope ... If it showed up, just put it here

It's good because even a hobbyist can have a sense of achievement, but it's not like AI where you sit in a ready-made "typically" chord progression, that's not your own, RapidComposer can call ChatGPT for chord progressions, but somehow I don't like that.

By the way, it wasn't mentioned, but the closest thing to Cubase is EZkeys 2 with its Grid Editor.

check at 1:20, but Cubase can replay a given chord(+MIDI effects on it) with command+click on any note in the chord, and that's what's missing from this

Personally, I am against Piano Rolls in plug-ins, Lol. It's just a bit much for me. I prefer something a bit more utilitarian. It's part of the reason I disliked InstaChords 2 (which I also own).

Generally once I come up with the progression I don't really need the plug-in, per se. It's more of a shortcut or helper. I am fine dragging the MIDI to an Instrument Track and then working with it from then on out.

It's part of the reason most times I just play this stuff in with my keyboard, these days. The Key and Chord Features fundamental to this are already built into the hardware... so, I tend to skip the plugins/features and err on the side of simplicity.

I think once you develop some basic keyboarding skills and theory knowledge these utilities/features lose value, anyways.

Yeah I mean I second this. Was wanting someone to say it first. I use to go out of my way for scale tools etc. there’s a chance they helped kick me in the butt. I mean I loved them as recently as a year and a half ago. But I hated using them compared to logics piano roll. I started doing some cheese with the logic note collapse and writing notes before the region and then collapsing the scale and moving the region beginning past the scale notes. But eventually even this got tedious and buggy. So one day I just said I’m going to just learn the scales as I’m working on a project. I started with g minor with the fresh song I was working on and a year later I would say I’m a lot better off then any scale mode tool or anything. I see this as a great tool for beginners but a bad tool for intermediate producers and beyond. I’ve never seen someone I look up to break down their song and see scaler on it for example. Maybe how Ableton does it with the scale highlight in their piano roll is a better way to go about it. I believe cubase does this. S1 kinda does this although it makes your scale look like c Major or a minor. These highlight things are a great great way to learn imo though. I know I’ll get flamed for this post but on the genuine if this helps one person like it helped me that’s all I care about.
