The Score Editor The Score Editor in Cubase Elements is a streamlined and simplified, yet powerful notation environment derived from bigger Cubase versions. Completely integrated within Cubase Essential, the Score Editor lets you view and edit music in the form of scores. A few clicks are all it takes to adapt the view to show recorded MIDI performances correctly and print them on demand for others including soloists, orchestras and choirs. Handy functions such as display quantization and transposition make this task even easier. MIDI Sequencing At
the heart of MIDI sequencing in Cubase is the Key Editor: a breathtakingly
powerful yet transparent tool which offers functional wealth that opens
up virtually limitless possibilities for songwriters and composers.
This is where melodies, chords, arrangements and performances take shape,
and where ideas are sketched out, developed and taken to their full
potential. Entering, cutting, moving and transposing individual notes
or whole chords, editing any of the hundreds of MIDI parameters available
or reworking even the most subtle nuances of a MIDI performance are
just some of the tasks for which the Key Editor has been developed and
refined continuously by Steinberg for over two decades. The Key Editor’s
Inspector provides smooth and intuitive access to the most important
MIDI tools and functions, including Quantize, Transpose, Length and
many more in one central spot. With
24 physical inputs and outputs, 8 insert effect slots per channel, 8
FX send and return channels as well as 16 groups/busses and an unrivaled
routing between audio channels, busses, groups and FX returns mean that
Cubase Elements 6 is fully equipped to master even demanding situations,
like the recording of a whole band. The system-wide automatic latency
compensation synchronizes all audio streams in your system automatically. The
Cubase Sample Editor offers creative freedom while editing audio. A
full editing toolset provides a huge range of functions that not only
cover common editing tasks right down to the sample level. The loop
functions are a boon for anyone using loops in their project, including
fully automatic hit-point recognition and excellent beat-slicing. Cubase
Elements 6 delivers three exceptional rich virtual instruments right
out of the box. Over 550 mind-blowing presets spanning across the HALion
Sonic SE virtual instrument, the Prologue synthesizer and the MPC-style
Groove Agent ONE drum machine HALion
Sonic SE is a streamlined version of HALion Sonic, Steinberg’s
premier VST workstation. Incorporating the same pristine audio and synth
engine as its award-winning brother, HALion Sonic SE offers tight integration
with Cubase Elements 6 and production-ready sounds and instruments that
will truly inspire your creative work. Equipped with detailed acoustic
instruments and brilliant synthesizers, the SE version is an extensive
pool of sounds for everyday studio work. Intuitive handling, instant
playability and VST 3.5 support make this new instrument the perfect
choice for productive songwriting or just playing along. Groove
Agent ONE pairs powerful drum sampling with detailed sound shaping —
seamlessly integrated into Cubase. Not only does it boast sliced loop
and MPC-import but rocks right out of the box with its own custom library
of only the finest acoustic, urban, hip hop and dance drum kits. Each
of its virtual pads features a complete sound processing section that
gives full control of textures, timbres and expressive qualities of
each drum sound. Creation of custom kits with drag and drop from the
MediaBay allows an extremely fluid and easy workflow. Cubase Elements 6 comes with an impressive arsenal of high-quality VST effect processors, including EQ, Dynamics, Modulation, Reverb, Filters, Distortion and special effects. Cubase Elements 6 offers a total of 33 real-time audio effects right out of the box. Each comes with great-sounding presets, which really allow experiencing the excellent quality of these effects from the first moment on. AmpSimulator MediaBay — database for sound management To
keep up with the ever-growing number of sounds, samples, loops and presets,
Cubase Elements 6 is equipped with a powerful media file management
system known as MediaBay. MediaBay is the central place for browsing,
searching, managing and categorizing any type of media file. This includes
audio and MIDI files, instrument and plug-in presets, video data and
even project files. On-the-fly pitch correction Designed for vocal and solo instrument recordings, the new PitchCorrect VST 3 plug-in brings easy and automatic intonation control and scale correction of vocal and monophonic instrument recordings to Cubase. PitchCorrect is based on the acclaimed Yamaha Pitch Fix technology and constantly detects the pitch of the input material and immediately corrects it to match to the closest pitch of a user-specified scale, including minor, major, chromatic and custom scales. AmpSimulator Amp Simulator is a great sounding guitar amp and speaker simulation for quickly laying down guitar tracks without additional equipment. It features various amp and cabinet models to choose from and is also workin fine for giving the bass an extra punch. The Project Assistant The
Project Assistant provides a wealth of ready-made template for different
styles and scopes like recording, mixing, producing and mastering. The
templates contain the number of channels, effects, dynamics, amp simulators
and channel inserts - tailored to your particular needs. Creating customized
user templates and integrating those into the Launch browser makes recording
with a DAW software and audio interface just that easy. Start up Cubase
Elements, go to Project Assistant and select a template from the list.
A new project is created with the necessary number of tracks, audio
input and output routings, all effects, amp simulator, sounds and much
more. Thanks to this assistant, initializing a Cubase Project from scratch
even saves professionals a lot of time — and as we all know, time
is money. |
