Dom, Please keep digging deep into the features, functions, and any related keystrokes, especially the ones that show what Cubase can do compared to it's competitors I have learned a lot watching your videos (Go Deeper!!!) JG
Nice Doubling with a third above! But I have one idea for a better colouring : Choose the right key in the chord-track and then change the colour of the notes to CHORD-TRACK ( the right key/scale!) Then you see all the notes in the right scale in green. (but you can choose the colour individually if you don't like this setting ) The multi colours choosen in the video are not the best choice... Or WHAT DO YOU THINK? SLASHGAD 🌈
Hi Dom. This was a wonderful video. I tried my best to repeat the steps you made in this video and I don’t know where I went wrong. I could not get the vocals to work like you did to safe my life. I’ve been trying for a few days now. I must be missing a step somewhere. I just dont know what I am missing but I will keep trying.
If you are having the same problem as I was then look at the scale assistant little white triangle and click on it and , " tarrah " , all is revealed .
Scale assistant is activated, Snap is also activated, but he transpose the notes wherever he want and ignores the scale. All those in Cubase 13.)) But only as I activated the tab with chords and used it a little bit, it began to work.
Hi Dom, love your videos they are very helpful. I see here that the keyboard changes colour with the notes. Is that a Cubase feature, or did you edit the video ... and if it is a feature, how do you turn it on, please?
This looks great. There is no key of A# Major though. I wish these softwares would take this into account as what tends to happen is students then come to music theory class having used the software and are confused. Thanks for the video, looks like a great tool. I'm thinking of switching to Cubase from DP.
You have two options under (Editor Scale) First one to select the Root key the second to select the Scale so you can choose any scale from any Key! If you want to add a custom scale.... Cubase allows you to do that by select "Set up Musical scales" then you can add your custom scale from there.
In my cubase 12 when duplicate file variaudio has changes it is automatically changes the original track variaudio... How to reset to have the original setting back...
If you start off in the minor let’s say G minor and you move to C major what is going to keep the two-part harmony respectful of the minor scale moving to a major scale?
Hey dom. For some reason I can't make it so that my variaudio previews the pitch of the note when I move it. I'm sure it used to?! I've been all around google trying to find an answer but to no avail
Hi, I've been searching high and low for an example like this. Great. However, the reason that I was looking is to find out what the colour relationship in variaudio segment colours is? In chord track mode the colours are simple. Red is out of tune, Green is in the chord and light blue is in the key of the piece So in pitch mode, it's not the case. I saw in your video there are dark blue, light, and dark brown. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's probably something like the first, second, and third notes of the scale and so on. So which is which? How do the colours relate to the pitch? Please answer as I've been searching for hours...........
Hi Dom, does VariAudio follow the Hermode Tuning settings? Does it rely on referencing a midi track to work? I'm editing polyphonic vocal music-with each voice on its own track-and while I would love to be able to tune to different temperaments-which, as far as I understand, is not possible with VariAudio-Hermode tuning is the next best option to get that special flavour in the fifths and thirds. I haven't been able to manually achieve what I want with the Quantize Pitch node because it only enables quantization by percentage. I would love to have the flexibility to manually fine tune the note up or down, rather than in one direction only. Can you shed some light on the relationship between Hermode Tuning and VariAudio?
Hi Dom. How can I return to start position on stop If I'm in variaudio editor on audio event or track? It was worked fine last version, but I cannot do this on cubase 12.
A# major does not exist theoretically you should really correct it to B-flat major with the relative minor being G minor. Your videos are absolutely superb and I do subscribe having been a professional ranger since 1968.
Hi Dom, Great vid. Do you know if it is possible to change the tuning base grid for VariAudio? It seems to be locked into A=440. I record a lot of material at A=432.
Hi Dom great instruction as usual. One question - when you move the notes up and down how do I get to hear the note as you move? I'm pretty new to the Pro version and wonder how to set it up to here the note changes?
I don't know if you found this a few months later, but there's a button called acoustic feedback. It looks like a speaker with sound coming out in the front and back of it that's on the toolbar section of the editing window.
Hi Dom, am from India i have cubase 12f. I do enjoy your videos however I have a question though, I duplicated a vocal track and then used various audio to create a harmony but both tracks were changed in pitch not just the duplicated one. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.
Hello Dom & Cubase company. greetings to all of you ❤️ May i ask if i upgrade my Cubase 11 Pro to 12 pro. the third party plugins like. EZ BASS, Superior drummer etc still can use？ And also Thank you for this video Tutorial. i only used variaudio for my tuning vocals this vids helps alot.
@benjaminmarschner Seriously Man. i do really Thank you for all of your time to reply for my comment. Seriously deep from my heart. i THANK YOU. ❤️❤️❤️ But this is the last Question. if you will reply on this. i will say Thank you and never bothered you again. Q - if i have a Unfinished proj from my Cubase 11 Pro and i will upgrade to new vers. the proj from 11 are still there / Can open in Cubase 12 pro?
Hi Dom, love your videos. I am Cubase Elements 12 user and there is no way to find how to create harmonies with it. I can only find the pitch corrector but it does not work for harmonies when trying to do a 3rd and 5th. When I purchased the software I thought it was possible but now I am at the end of my research, not finding help, which is why I would really appreciate every kind of tip you could give me. Thanks in advance!!!
Thanks for a great video Dom! Just one question. When you have a duplicate of a original song track (3:00) and change it in Vari Audio, do you first have to save the original song track and import it as a new song track? Why I am asking is because, If I edit and do some pitch corrections in an duplicate in Cubase 11 it change the original as well. Thanks Peter
I think you need to select your duplicate and change to “ real copy or copies” - for the future you may want to change your preferences to not create “shared copies” when duplicating.
@@STONE1888 I think my comment was deleted because I added a link, but there isn't one. I was thinking there was because I never have to change it, but then I remembered I use MIDI mostly. You will have to keep manually changing the audio to a real copy.
Hi Dom, great stuff. I do enjoy your videos however I have a question though, I duplicated a vocal track and then used various audio to create a harmony but both tracks were changed in pitch not just the duplicated one. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.
Like so many of these sorts of video, lots on what you can do, not so much on exactly how to. If you know your way around the program, then you don't really need the video. If you are less familiar, then all sorts of principal steps are glossed over.
Trying to create harmonies - I duplicate a vocal track that Ii edited with "]variaudio[/- Wenn I try to create a second voice harmony on the duplicated track lowerin or lifting the pitches with variaudio all changes also change the original vocal track. What am I doing wrong???? desperately......
Hi Dom, thanks for the great videos. I have tried the variaudio scale assistant but the track that I duplicate says linked to the original. Any changes that I make are applied to both tracks. Have I missed a step?
I solved it! there's a tab that comes up asking you either to continue, new version or cancel. You need to select new version so you can work on the tracks individually. Nothing to do with preferences
@@DaveAppleyard Hi David, I have the same problem. I don't see that tab you are talking about. I just just right-click the track I want to duplicate and there it goes. Can you please help and explain when and where you get that tab ? Thanks.
You should create a new version of your audio clip You can convert a shared copy to a real copy by selecting “Convert to Real Copy” from the Functions submenu on the Edit menu. This creates a new version of the clip (that can be edited independently) and adds this to the Pool.
Sorry this is killing me. The relative major of G min is not A#. It's B flat major. Whew. OK, please continue. And for those that don't know, the relative minor of A# major is F## (double sharp). I know...semantics.
nooooo please!!! G minor relative to A# major no no no no.....that's relative of B flat major! even on the piano could be same keys speaking of harmony is a huge error, mostly because the key of A# major doesn'exist! if you think 5th circle, major keys with # are G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#.....A# can't be possible because music grammar doesn't allow double sharps or double bb into clef, so de facto it doesn't exist, you can use either C# major or Dd major but some keys cannot be used at all, e.g G# or A# major, you'll use Ab or Bb major instead.
I am total stupid I guess, but I still wonder why does this "videos to help" us runs on time limit? you cant even see what the person is doing in the video...why so rush? he clicks and then he talks then I see a user interface I don't know about...I cant see the thing you see... period and that is frustrating with this kind of help :(
Sorry Dom, Have to say the same as comments below. as usual when attempting to follow this instruction vid, you can't ...doesn't work the same and very frustrating, I love your work mate but you should try following your own vids ... bet you can't get Va to work either ....
Please don't quantize individual pitches. You'll take all the natural nuances out of the vocal performance. Too bad they didn't use this tool on Beauty & The Beast. Emma Watson's voice would have sounded much more natural instead the autotuned, digital mess they released.
Warning: Cubase 12 is not gettin all shortcuts, preferences, templates or anything from Cubase 11, and once you install cubase 12 you can NOT open cubase 11.
Cubase 12 imported all settings, templates etc on first launch for me, even recent projects in the Hub. This is strange! Also Cubase 11 and 12 use different license system, on the e- licenser you will have the Cubase 11 license, instead on Steinberg Activation Manager you have 12.

This is false. Cubase 11 and 12 run perfectly side by side on my end. I just copied key commands preset folder from 11 to 12 and all key commands from 11 work on 12.
well thats the end of real singers lets be honest only the old bands still play new bands last 1 song,lol they cant play live pmsl this aint a new thing you had it since cubase 5 and lets be honest about the real world singers they cant sing wink xx and its sad because the real people that can sing with heart dont stand a chance any more
