This is a neat little color pack I made for Cubase. For me, the default colors were not enough as I tend to have a lot of tracks, often with the same instruments, but with variations. It takes a considerable long time to make a set of new colors so I thought I would share it with you guys so you don’t need to do this yourself.
The pack consists of 19 different main colors with 9 additional shades of each color. Once you install the colors I suggest you do not tamper too much with the intensity/brightness as this can cause some of the colors to look alike. Yes, I did this myself and had to redo everything.
UPDATE: This update includes the old file with the old legacy colors in case you need it.
I do not have the privilege to test this on a mac or different versions of Cubase. If you are able to successfully apply these colors on another system please share how you did it.
As I have tested these colors down to Cubase SX2 to make sure they work n every version of Cubase up to Cubase Pro 9.
Hope you enjoy it!
but on existing projects: only the “old” colors show up.
But the colors are only available in new projects.
At the bottom of your colour list is the Project Colours menu…open this and then from options select “Load program defaults to current set”.
Be aware that this will mess up any colour selecting you have already done…this is presumably why Cubase doesn’t do it by default.
But, since I changed to this new color scheme, I no longer have those options there, only the new colors are there and “default color”, which does nothing…
That´s why.
In the meantime I´ll refert back to the default Steinberg color scheme, unless you have another good tip for me (I´m serious here).
