Recording a MIDI track with ANY channel enabled let’s you record all available MIDI channels from an external Synth/Sequencer or similar situation. Then you can dissolve that track into several MIDI tracks to have them played from Cubase. And the ANY track get’s muted automatically. Good one!
This functionality is especially useful for those of us that set up large orchestral MIDI templates. Opening a new sequence based off a template with dozens of Kontakts and sample patches can take 30 seconds - or several minutes even - if it’s a big template. It will take much less time if you’re not forced to load all the plug-ins and samples off the bat. Only a few seconds to get the session open. Then you just “re-enable” the instruments you need as you go.
The only time it takes to re-enable an instrument track is the time it takes to load the plug-ins and/or samples (ie: Kontakt) within. So not long. A few seconds tops.
I suppose it’s true that it allowed it before. I always struggled getting it to work with workspaces, AOT, maximize, minimize etc …
It actually “works” now.
Haven’t been able to find any documentation about this in the Manual, but the meters in the Mixer Bridge now apparently show the compression gain reduction levels if a compressor is used in the rack.
In channel editor you can now access the “pan” of sends by clicking on the word “Sends”
Instead of dragging the mouse pointer down three centimeters and clicking on pan tab…
How huge is that?
Also same behavior by clicking on inserts. Shifts between plugins and routing…
In the EQ area of the channel strip, there are separate knobs for Gain, Freq and Q (4 Bands!)… = Channel EQ.
now we have a mixing console just like in the old analog days.
