Just done a few tracks in Ableton and, while there are many things I miss, Group Effects is an absolutely killer feature. Similar to extended fx chains in Studio One in that it allows you to set up very quickly all kinds of serial and parallel chains. Mostly things that are possible in Cubase using duplicates or group and fx channels, but with much easier workflow.
A few examples:
- splitting things into different frequency bands and applying different processing to each
- loudness matching using things like TBPro Audio ABLM (where you put one instance before and one after the plug-in(s) of interest, and it’s very nice to have a one-click bypass for the chain)
- even simple things like compress and add some slapback, reverb, chorus, but maybe you want to experiment with the order of these things or serial/parallel.
So if this is possible in S1, why not Cubase? Any prospects of this arriving soon? Would be nice for stability to have it built in.
Or maybe better to look at 3rd party alternatives like Bluecat Patchwork or DDMF Metaplugin. Anyone have experience with these in Cubase 12 (M1 Mac here) to share?
