Song: Pretty Old Song

June 21, 2014 Leave a comment

The new piece is a 6/8, and unlike the other 3/4 6/8 songs, this time I change the time signature in Cubase to 6/8 , as I am using Addictive Drums for drum ideas, and it seems to read 6/8 Midi better than 4/4 , which means when I play my piano on the 6/8 program, it fits into place properly. Chords start at the start of bars when using 6/8 , but when using 4/4, chords can appear on the 3rd or 2nd beat, not very ideal if I’m going to start building the track. So I chose 6/8 to build the track nicely as I am starting from scratch.

When time signature is 6/8, no need to use TRIPLET during quantize.. Only during 4/4 signature then you use TRIPLET for such signatures.

This is a 6/8 song, not standard 4/4, again I used the Cubase 4/4/ trick. In the drum software, I turn on ‘Shuffling’ max, in this case Fusion. Coupled with the 3/4 groove in ‘Groove Agent’.

This is a 3/4 , 6/8 song.. not a standard 4/4 song.

The trick when building this piece, I used the 4/4 signature in Cubase, but in drum groove design (i.e. Groove Agent), I turned on ‘Shuffling’ maxed out.

How to fix Problem with Shortcut for STEAM.lnk that Spectrasonics use?

June 19, 2014 Leave a comment

The STEAM.link file is usually stored in:

C:ProgramDataSpectrasonics

And can be modified to point to where your data files are. This allows you to separate your boot drive and your audio files efficiently on different disks.

Sometimes however, as Windows automatically rename your disks, you may have difficulties using the VST. Therefore, either use a reboot to fix the disk names, or edit the STEAM.lnk file to point to the right directory or drive.

How to re-sample project from a different bitrate in Cubase 5?

June 13, 2014 Leave a comment

During prompt when it asks to convert, say yes.

Do you want to keep the source files in the pool directory?

When it asks to replace, say yes. (and all old projects are gone, hit NO if you want old projects to work)

Do you want to keep audio events at their sample positions?

When it asks about position, say no *OR* hit ‘YES’ listen, then UNDO from the Edit menu if not correct.

Well apparently, there isn’t a monitor button on the Cuemix FX application provided. So all you need to do is to head to Windows > Sound Control Panel > Recording devices > Select your mic/line in > Listen > Listen to this device.

Stage 1:

Cymbal swell, （cymbal roll) found to do it with Superior drummer, cymbal sound (Ride 3 , B2). in 1/32 quantize, hit every mini beat, copy and paste. After that, use a curve line to draw the velocity from light to heavy.
At bottom right of Superior Drummer, select instrument, Ride 3, adjust pitch accordingly.
After that at the Envelope section, switch to Attack, and move right as much as possible, to remove the hit sound.
Finished and bounced.
