Steinberg has released Cubase 14

[qtheerearranger]

sooooo im 2 weeks into cubase now and i have to say its the best decision i have ever made. for me the only real area I would like to see improvements in is just baking some features from backbone and halion into the default sampler track such as the pitch detection and set root key from pitch detection - considering we cant send from media bay to halion or backbone but can to sampler track this is something i loved about logics sampler that i would love to see in cubase.

key commands need to be worked on. i havent gotten deep in the macro shortcut system to make custom commands. I plan to do so eventually. I'm a bit of a macro wizard in s1 so i assume i can do a lot of cool stuff in cubase that i would benefit from. but when i looked at it with a quick glance it seemed to be half as good as s1s macro system. theres too many key commands that are singular functions though and arent toggle functions or on off functions of some sort. again im smart enough to know macro system probably fixes a lot of this but these are pretty basic commands in 2024.

the amount of logical editor things ive searched for that arent presets in cubase is kinda weird to me. but after two weeks ive gotten pretty much everything i would need so it wasnt hard. cubase goes hard in this area. like i love the logical editor so much.

i would like more themes from cubase themselves

can i easily add black and white to my color pallete? of rgb colors thats been confusing to me i like to keep my busses black and folders white but ive just been doing that with set to default color and setting those as default colors in the settings.

Well you can go adjust the color schemes directly in the preferences, and it sounds like you need to open the track color setup and just look at it (its pretty self-explanatory inside).

I can't believe I have to come here to ask this, but how do you remove a send on Cubase 14?

-edit- nevermind, go to arrow, choose 'no bus'. that was tripping me up far longer than it should have

Got it yesterday, only had a very small play with it, but liking what I see and hear so far. Finally can rearrange channels in mixer, small thing but love it. Haven't tested pattern/drum machine thing but knowing will be useful for me. Gagging to use the new delay and shimmer FX too, I always rated their multitap delay but too fiddly and unintuitive for real precision sound-mangling delay IMO, whereas the new one looks very straight forward.

Took me quite a while getting very frustrated trying to find the non-existent modulators. After I'd actually tried and failed in the manual, I went back to the Steinberg site to watch the vids (didn't help because the tab wasn't there in mine) I reread the sales blurb - modulators only in Pro, not Artist. . Sometimes I'm a fkn numbnut and should learn to read before I buy . A shame, as I was looking forward to those, but not anything I'd find useful enough for the $500 upgrade to pro, so I can live without happily enough. Plenty of other useful features this time around, way better upgrade than 13 was.

I wonder why nobody is mentioning the drum synths they offer for the new drum machine...

I am really impressed so far how good they sound... (haven´t dived in too much though)
Everything 3rd party I tried or implementations into i.e. Bitwig and Ableton are 1. very basic and/or 2. sound very artificial while the new Cubase modules sound immediately like using my favourite samples but with tons of control...
There are of course many much more advanced Kick synths... but for Hihats, Snares, Claps etc... this is by a ton the best I heard so far...

Did I got the wrong impression here??

The same goes for the new Shimmer reverb... this is easily on par with my favourite which is Valhalla Shimmer but it seems with more control...
What do you think about this???

Probably Yamaha had something to do with the sound design, seeing as they own steinberg

Delete-key usually works as well.

5 days into cubase i thought things would start to make sense - they haven't

its more powerful then Studio One - 100%!!! But its the way you work in that daw has serious moments that take you out of the flow. it is easily the most ive ever focused on learning a new daw. bitwigs modulation system and macro system was a joke to learn compared to cubase for me.

cubase huge pros -
1. the time stretching algorithms
2. Modulators specifically the envelope follower (i can do stepped automation [sequencer] and lfo shaped automation and even skew it in a lot of daws but i cant envelope follow)
2. sampler
3. better fx

presonus pls u got the zplane stem splitter get their algorithms we could be caught up on point 1 asap! bitwig even has better stretching then s1.

also u can tell the presonus devs worked on cubase. i thought i read a while ago some of the presonus devs still do contract work for steinberg here and there? is this true?

im going to stay on s1 right now and maybe spend an hour each day in cubase. I would love to feel more comfortable in it but I have work i need to get done so this is as far as i can take the test now.

Don't give up. I moved from FL STUDIO to Cubase

FL studio piano roll was so simple and fast to do stuff in, and I'd just drop clips in playlist, I was so use to the workflow

However I had some serious problems with stability and other things, so I tried cubase
it took months but eventually it feels like home now, it feels like what I always wanted FL studio to be, and I'm more fast than I was using FL studio now

I can so quickly throw down tracks, render to audio, flip, turn into sample, get things done it just feels great to use now lol

I went back to s1 and it was crash city so I went back to cubase. Honestly the only thing that I can say I don’t like is the lack of folder bus tracks. I wish I could have folders with routing and inserts etc. cubase piano roll is next level when you start to find some good logical editor stuff

I use that so much that i decided to put 'Render-in-place' under a key command

Mines CMD+R to Render, CMD+Shift+R to open the Render settings first.. I just wish you had the option to render it starting from bar 1 regardless of where the first region starts. I like to keep everything lined up at the start (in case I send these to someone else or have to use another DAW in the future), and that would make bouncing out instrument tracks so much quicker then having the use the Export function.

You can, by using range tool and drawing a range starting from bar 1 and render.

Yeah I figured it out last night. I just add a blank 1 bar region at the start of every track. I can't believe I didn't think to try that until now. These are all instrument tracks so the regions don't start until there's stuff to be played. Sometimes the tracks might not start until bar 33 or 80 or something, but with the empty region at the start it works great. I rendered out 13 tracks in one shot last night, and along with getting a perfect copy, the render process duplicates the whole channel with the inserts so it saves me ALL the work I did this weekend exporting the tracks in 4 different projects hah.

Prior to this, since the Export Mixdown command goes through the channel strip itself, I'd have to go in, take a screenshot of the mix console, then put all the instrument track faders back up to 0db before bouncing (and do it Dry bypassing inserts), then create all the new tracks, drag/drop the audio in and go set up the whole mix again. Rendering, grabs everything post Inserts, so you don't need to mess with levels after. When it duplicates the track, you can literally pick up right where you left off.

DAWproject Support? That surprised me! Good on you Steinberg

Steinberg's download assistant has been a mess for me, constant errors and failed downloads despite reinstalling all the supporting apps manually a few times. Sent support a mail and they said 'Hey, here's a new version of DA, download this" > 'Gets exact same errors'
