People ask me whether solely rap about Cubase
but in my head I only listen to delays from MultiTap.
Actualy this should have been my echo
but I'd rather create some new sounds in Padshop 2.
Hello and welcome to this new video.
Cubase 10.5 has been released.
In this video we are going to have a look at
the highlights and some of the new functions.
You have already glanced at one of the biggest highlights
in the intro of this video:
Padshop 2.
Steinberg created this new version of Padshop
and added many new functions
to the Padshop and Padshop Pro.
One of the new features
is the new Spectral Oscillator.
It is working in the frequency domain
and contains high end pitch shifting
and time stretching algorithms.
This allows us to actually stop the playback speed
at any position in the sample
and create a sound from
a specific frequency spectrum.
Furthermore you can import
any audio sample from Cubase
directly into Padshop 2 via drag & drop
and create a variety of sounds
with your custom samples.
Additionally Padshop 2 contains
a new powerful arpeggiator,
an equalizer, an algorithmic reverb,
and many other new features.
Steinberg asked me to produce a demo track
for the new version of Cubase.
In this demo track I focussed on
the new features in Padshop 2
and recorded many samples in a forest
to turn them into instruments.
[Sample]
[Padshop 2 Preset]
When creating this demo project
I have spend a lot if time with Padshop 2.
Therefore I also created
a video course on Padshop 2
about how to create your own sounds and presets.
This video course is available
on www.padshop-class.com (in english)
and this can be your fast and easy
start into creating your own sounds
with Padshop 2.
In this lesson I will show you how to turn
this sample into this sound
using Padshop.
Furthermore you can find
some of my presets for Padshop 2
for free on my website.
Even more presets are included in the video course.
For the release of this course
I would like to raffle 5 courses
until Friday, 22 November 2019.
You can enter the raffle using this link.
You should be at least 13 years old to enter
and I wish you good luck!
Back to Cubase.
In my opinion, it is very important
to have a fast workflow
in the DAW of your choice.
This workflow is influenced by the handling
in the micro perspective, for example
when cutting or selecting events.
Cubase 10.5 allows us to combine selection tools.
This means I can now combine the tools
object selection and range selection
with one button in the toolbar.
When moving the mouse on an event
I can use the object selection tool
in the lower area and range selection
in the upper area.
This allows us to work faster in Cubase,
and improves the workflow
when using different tools
on events in the project.
In Cubase 10.5 there are so many small
improvements and new functions,
that I cannot cover all of them in this video.
But I would like to give you a quick
overview of some of them.
In Cubase 10.5 you can now
render videos, which is a great feature
when composing music
especially for videos.
And there are a lot new functions
in the score editor.
I personally like, that I can
change the pitch of a note
only by using my mouse wheel.
And in the program settings
you can now also find the function
to color tracks in the Mix Console.
This can help to find tracks faster
and adds a nice look to the Mix Console.
You can also find a new feature
in the Channel Equalizer in Cubase.
Now the frequency spectrum
of another channel can be displayed
in any Channel Equalizer
at the same time.
This helps us to detect frequency masking
and to adjust the settings effectively.
With only one click into the upper area
you can switch to the EQ
of the other channel and also edit
this equalizer.
This is a great feature to enhance
the mixing workflow in Cubase.
[Spectral Comparison EQ]
Another new feature in Cubase 10.5
is kind of hidden but in my opinion
it is very useful:
I talk about the Safe Mode.
You can run this mode
by pressing the keys
SHIFT + ALT + CTRL
when starting up Cubase.
This way this window opens up
and I can select in which way
I want the Safe Mode to run.
In the case of issues caused by
third-party plugins, which can
cause problems when starting Cubase,
you can now run Cubase
with stock plugins only.
This way Cubase can be started
in any case.
And there is another workflow feature
which allows us to import
new kinds of tracks into a project.
This function has been improved.
Now you can import nearly
any kind of tracks
from other projects.
Especially for FX and group channels
I often missed this function.
With Cubase 10.5 it will become
much easier to copy a mix
of an existing project into a new one.
The new import window lets you chose
the source and destination tracks
and the import position.
You can import at the playback position,
relative to the start of the project
or at an absolute position.
Furthermore you can find a new
creative audio effect in Cubase 10.5:
A delay effect called MultiTap.
The realisation about all the functions
and possibilities with this plugin
felt like a mindblow to me.
This delay effect lets you
chose the timing and effects
for every single delay step separetly.
MultiTap contains 14 different
effect modules which can be
assigned at different positions
in the signal chain and onto
single delay steps.
[MultiTap]
That's how MultiTap sounds.
It contains many high-quality presets
which you can use to design
really creative sound effects.
All right. In my opinion, these are
the most important new functions in Cubase.
That's quite a list of features.
So which are my personal highlights?
At the top of my list is
the new Padshop 2.
This allows us to create many interesting
sounds from our custom samples.
Personally, I really like the features
that enhance my workflow
when mixing my projects.
This is why I really like
the track import improvements
and also the EQ Comparison Mode.
It helps a lot to display different
frequency spectrums at the same time
and to switch between them with one click.
And the new audio effect MultiTap
is one of my favorite highlights.
I think that this plugin is great for
sound designing and experimenting with
the many possibilities when combining
the different modules.
You can create new and interesting sounds.
So you can find the price for the
update, upgrade or full version
following this link to the Steinberg website.
I personally think, Cubase 10.5
has quite a lot of improvements
and new features to enhance
every area of music production.
This video is coming to an end
and I'd like to thank you for watching.
Have fun with Cubase 10.5
and see you in the next video.
