I am using a piano VST instrument with Cubase and my piano part I recorded plays back very lound in the mix so I want to turn it down but the problem I have is that then when I want to play a new part the piano is too soft because I had to lower it to fit in the mix. Is there a way to leave the playback volume at a different setting to the midi that is already recorded? This way, the midi I recorded can be at one level and then when I am playing back or recording new parts I can have another level without having to change the level back and forth. I am sure the anwser must be simple but I can’t figure it out.
Listen mode is probably the easiest way, once set up.
Else, if Control Room isn’t available in the Cubase edition, another option would be to create an additional FX track with no plugin on it. Then send from the original VSTi track to that FX track, setting it pre fader and adjust to taste.
When done recording, simply bypass the send.
Hi Phil. Listen mode does not work for me. I had to activate control room and I admit that I have never used it before but wanted to give it a try. That said, I activated L on my piano track but it did nothing at all so not sure if I am doing something wrong?
here is a pic of my mixer, you will see L activated on the Addictive Keys track
