OK, I have been using Cubase non stop for the past 6 hour or so since release! and I can finally say i’m more than happy!. This is the biggest Cubase update ever in my opinion!
Notable features…
Asio delay compensation
this works like a dream… finally after 10 years of using cubase, I can write melodies without having to open the piano roll to fix the delay! been waiting a long time for this! Lived upto my expectations and more!
Mediabay always on top
Finally! I now have a new workflow for building sample loops, I just add an audio track and track and drop one-shots directly onto the audiochan… I couldn’t do this yesterday because the loop browser diddnt have always on top!
Mediabay Shuffle
Found some really great samples thanks to this! such a small yet massive feature
Mixer
the mixer DOES need a little refinement, however… you can adjust it into something quite workable! I find turning on exclusive + fixed tracks works well with the Channel settings page sitting Directly above it… (we need more key commands! please keycommands for everything)
Default preset for plugins
Works exactly as i hoped it would!..
Asio Guard
this does seem to actually work! I opened a project that had regular dropouts in 6.5 and it worked perfectly!
plugin choose
also a great addition, press the button, type 2 chars of the plugin name. press enter… and it’s loaded…
all in all i’m happy… (I wasn’t earlier but i am now… it just takes some time to get used to!)
how did you get the asio delay compensation to work?
i switched it on in recording midi prefs… but didn´t change a thing.
recorded midi notes still too early.
I have been working with Logic and Cubase for years but have never come across this term in reference to MIDI.
I understand delay compensation for plugins when I’m mixing.
When I’m recording MIDI it always replays exactly as I played it in (MIDI jitter aside) is this “Asio delay compensation” in reference to recording MIDI whilst plugins are also in the channels path?
I never have any plugins running when I’m recording MIDI parts or audio parts as they all get added at the final mix stage, is this why I’ve never had this issue.
I’m somewhat confused by this new feature in Cubase 7 - what am I missing?
tmy
if you have not encountered this then that’s good!
however for me, up until today. any time i would record midi, the notes would record early in the project and I would have to manually go in and adjust it. It’s to do with the asio latency, if you work at a low latency you will be fine. however I run at 16ms… and my UAD plugins add a bunch of extra latency also… the result for me (and quite a few others) was significantly early midi!
Well, everything seems to work here, accept for my cc121 having some issues (not working at all on some projects)
really have to adjust to the new mixer’s appearance.
I wish I could see more faders in one screen, but maybe the channel view will be useful for that.
I am quite overwhelmed with all the possibilities…
I am working on 2X24" and 19" and I think I am gonna need the 19" a lot more now
such a small yet massive feature
