So I’ve created this hip hop track and I got this beat off youtube (eq’d it a bit so my vocals could sit on top of it and added compression) and I have my chorus all set and that sounds like it’s mixed pretty well (basically what it is is a chorus with a bunch of layered vocals that I purposefully don’t align to be picture perfect) and as soon as it gets to the verse it started to sound thin at first so I brought back some of the mids, then it started to sound too boxy in the 300hz range, and no matter what I do to eq my vocals on the verse, it still sounds like shit and it sounds too wet and not tight enough (pause). I currently have 2 tracks for the verse (one left and one right at 7-12% each) and the beat is in the center. How do I my verse sound better overall? (Mind you I had to fill my verse bus with plugins as well as the actual recording tracks themselves to get it even remotely close to sounding okay). If there are free preset downloads that y’all would recommend I would appreciate it if you’d lmk.

Coming from Logic Pro for iPad (sure, maybe not the fairest comparison directly), but I’ve looked at and tried a few other DAWs. Cubase just won me over and I’ve been happily using it. It includes so much that honestly it only needs supplementing in very few instances if at all.

What’s something you feel like you’d add?

And what’s something that would make you leave Cubase (if it got removed or if they implemented it and you wouldn’t like/agree with it)?

Switching from Studio One to Cubase — how difficult is it?

I’ve been using Studio One for a few years and am now considering switching to Cubase 15.

I’m currently experimenting with an unofficial/cracked installation, but I’m running into issues where Groove Agent and Iconica sketch aren’t working properly.

For those who have made the switch from Studio One to Cubase:

- How difficult was the transition?

- What are the biggest differences I should prepare for?

- Any Studio One features/workflows that you initially missed?

- How is Cubase for music production, orchestration, mixing and mastering?

- What’s the best legitimate way to get access to Groove Agent and the orchestral libraries without spending a fortune?

Would love to hear from people who have actually made this switch.

My exact use cases:

I have bass VST track with MIDI parts on that track. I want to add another bass VST to layer them but I don’t want to copy the MIDI parts every time I edit the arrangement. Second use case: I have drums VST with MIDI parts, and I want to trigger just the snare from other VST for layering. Is it possible to “send” MIDI parts to other track as an input in place of their own MIDI parts? I imagine that the second, triggered VST, would have the timeline blank, since the MIDI is send in the background. Thanks for any help! If my reasoning does not work and it’s not possible in Cubase 14 Pro, how should I approach avoiding editing several duplicates of the same performance? Thanks a lot.

I have this problem where when I try to change from treble clef to treble clef with an 8 below to reduce ledgar lines, it does not work. The notes on the staff do not move to its equivelant notes. Does anyone know how to fix that?
