Expand Cubase color palettes by adjusting track and event colors and enlarging presets to 32 colors and four tints for a pastel-friendly workspace.

Explore how Cubase versions differ and how VC instruments, such as Groove Agent and Halion Sonic, shape your tools; upgrade to the Elements level and consider student versions for access.

Set up a Cubase project from scratch, record a foundational guitar track for a simple worship song, layer key instruments, edit for great takes, and mix, master, and export.

Organize your production with clear charts and planning center, ensuring arrangements, lyrics, and instrumental parts are transposed and shared for seamless collaboration.

Explore how external outboard tube microphone preamps deliver warmer, fuller sound and richer saturation, often outperforming built-in interface preamps for pro-grade recordings.

Set your metronome to 70 BPM, choose a time signature like 4/4 or 3/4, and adjust the click pattern, count-in, bars, and custom sounds for recording.

Record a rough vocal take in cubase to build a vocal guide over the instrumental track, then apply processing and reverb. Learn to link channels with a VCA for balance.

Save parts with distinct names or dates, use linear and cycle recording with markers for intro, verse, and chorus, and perform multiple takes with basic comping.

Explore MIDI comping methods in Cubase, from the built-in comp tool to a manual audition workflow across lanes, building a master take with sustain and velocity control.

Learn to edit piano MIDI velocity and other CC controls by adjusting individual notes or in bulk, using drag, double-click input, and relative changes across selections.

Learn to record drum tracks with a MIDI keyboard while exploring themes of faithfulness and the goodness of God expressed in song.

Edit midi drums by switching to a drum map and editing notes in the drum editor, then quantify with grid snapping and velocity adjustments for a natural, precise drum track.

Learn to configure audio inputs and buses for recording electric guitars in Cubase, set up mono and stereo guitar tracks, and arm recording with click and markers.

Record electric guitars in Cubase 12, 13, and 14, and complete a full song production for your next track.

Comp and edit electric guitar takes in Cubase using cycle recording and markers. Audition, mute, and apply crossfades, then duplicate for left-right stereo to tighten the performance.

Clean up and align all tracks in cubase by setting a common start time, snapping to the grid, trimming gaps, and applying fades to ensure on-time starts and endings.

Learn fundamental volume automation in Cubase, drawing precise changes with the pencil tool and Alt, and manage read and write modes with group faders or VCA tracks to control dynamics.

get a behind-the-scenes look at the shadow of your wings project, featuring piano foundation, automation on the lead violin, double-tracked guitars, muting decisions, and exporting for mastering in Cubase.

Explore a real Cubase project from rough takes to comping and organizing input tracks, exporting for pre-mastering and mastering with a multi-band compressor on the master bus.
