@KHS,
Don’t get Beerbong (and me) wrong.
FYI, I compose music for Commercials and Short films, so I rarely use loops. I come from a Classical Music background (my personal favorites are Chopin, Mozart, Schumann, Gabriel Fauré, Saint Saens).
So for me loops are repetitive and kill your creativity spectrum and realism (they’re very limiting).
By Drawing clips, content wise, I’m talking about One-Shots Clips, Midi Clips, and even stereo Recordings Clips.
PS: I do use lots of custom-made one-shots (I create my own batch of kicks, snares, and Fx), and it’s way faster when your DAWs lets you draw them swiftly and precisely on the Grid, change their volume / fades…
Instead of adding a VSTi like Battery, dropping them, assigning them, and recording them with Midi notes. So the Draw tool for drawing One-shot Clips is very important to my workflow.
@-steve-
That’s not the same thing, not as precise because when I duplicate a clip, I dont have direct control over the length of the clip I want to lay down. When drawing, I can control the length directly (+ see “PS:” written above about One-Shots).
PS: I’m not just starting using Cubase, I’ve used it since v5.5, and if I recall correctly I even used it before times to times back in the “SX” days
