I’ve allways struggled with the surplus of data when doing this. I do a lot of orchestral projects, and MIDI CC controlling is paramount. And I do it everytime as you posted, all steps involved, but when I’m replacing CC’s I get all that jumbled up line like the OP showed. It’s a pain having to manually clean up the curve afterwards. How do you do it?
Hey, have you followed all of the steps outlined in the solution summary above? They have to be all done or it won’t work. Also note that it only works for one part at the time and inside the key editor.
As an alterantive you can remove CC data (potentially automating this with the logical editor) before you record new data.
Yes, I’ve been doing it for some time now, on the hope it will work somehow. My problem is when recording a second pass, only with MIDI cc’s, changing what was previously recorded in a first pass when I was also playing the notes, and refining some cc curves. Then I get the jumbled lines like shown above, in between every point I record in a new position Cubase kind of returns to the original curve, and so those amounts of garbage data pile up. It’s like I needed the value to stay at last position even when I’m not moving the cc fader! Because when I’m moving it all’s fine and dandy, the moment I stop moving it returns to the original curve.
Removing all cc data is not a productive alternative, sometimes all I want is to reshape little patches of data, and not full takes. I remember it working as expected in Nuendo 10, but by now can’t be sure if it’s not my memory playing tricks.(I’m a Nuendo user)
Hi,
Preferences > Record > MIDI > Replace Recording in Editors. Set this option to Controller. Then you can record a new take of the CCs, without overwritting the MIDI Notes.
