IS this the right thread? I'm using Cubase anyways... Can anyone recommend a good (orchestral) string plugin, synth or sample based, soundfont or VSTi? There are quite a lot out there so does anyone like a particular one that actually sounds good - a lot of demos I've tried are pretty crummy...

I posted this in the cubase forum and got no reply, maybe someone here can help I currently have a SB Live 5.1 running wi2th cubase SX - yes, I am saving for a decent card! But I'm interested in trying cubase out on surround sound stuff - i.e 4 speaker quad. Reading the documentation, SX has...

I currently have a SB Live 5.1 running wi2th cubase SX - yes, I am saving for a decent card! But I'm interested in trying cubase out on surround sound stuff - i.e 4 speaker quad. Reading the documentation, SX has surround routing capability - however, on the Master Outputs panel, I only have one...

OK, bear in mind that i'm quite a novice at mixing: I'm a big fan of the flaming lips. a while back they did an album, Zaireeka, that involves 4 cds that are meant to be played simultaneously meaning you get kind of 8 speaker surround sound. so i thought i'd experiment, but have a go at a 2 cd...

this is an odd and stupid problem I'm having with Cubase SX but it's really bugging me. If I draw an event curve/line in the Project window (main view) - e.q. a series of event points that define a pan or fade, I cannot copy and paste this event series to another pan / fade variable that...

Hi. Is there any VST instrument or tool out there that would allow me to play Soundfont sounds as a VSTi rather than merely as a Midi Track. I.e. play soundfonts through a VST instrument channel that I can apply audio effects to, rather than having yo record each MIDI track as audio once...

if running cubase SX with a soundblaster live (yeah, I know it's crappy). using the built in directX full duplex driver setting in SX, the sync is lost after about 30 sec when recording audio live to harddrive, even with only a MIDI click track running. the multimedia driver works ok, but...

I'm having trouble using Cubase SX with my evolution MK249c midi controller. I have the latest drivers from evolution's website, and I'm using SX on Windows 2000. Whenever I record MIDI in realtime using the keyboard, doublew notes are always recorded. What I mean is on the MIDI track screen...

I have heard talk/read things about an old piece of kit called the Maestro rhythm unit (?), possibly (from what i gather) an old drum machine type thing. can anyone tell me a bit about this, what it does, what it sounds like? I know this is a bit off topic for the homerecording forums, but, hey...

um, ok, this is a weird one, but this seemed the best place for it: if anyone out there is familiar with the last two flaming lips albums, they'll know there is a lot of nice string, brass and flute stuff on it - all of which is I guess done by synths : - there are no extra musicians listed in...

this is no doubt one to amuse the old hands.... is there any piece of software, preferably cheap and simple, that can recognise the basic key of a sample fed into it. Not transcribing intricate passages of sampled music, but basically telling me what key/chord a simple guitar strum is in... you...

sorry if this is the wrong forum but: what would people recommend as a very good bass plugin, be it VST or directX or whatever. either bass guitar-type, or synth-based bass. thanks for any help

now this is a weird question, but: anyone know of a cubase VST/directx plug-in that simulates a quica - you know that strange instrument used a lot in bossa nova music that sounds like an orangutan call? i was considering adapting the general midi sound (two samples) but i'd be nice to get a...

when recording audio direct into cubase, if I take the audio file, p[rocess it in, sya soundforge, then reimport it (under a different name) it's out of synch. I presume this is because when recording, cubase starts recording slightly before the L marker - is this value of pre-record the same as...

don't know if this is the right place to post this so let me know if i should move it on. Anyways, I'm quite interested in attempting (attempting, mind :) )to build myself a theremin. I've done a bity of internet searching and there are quite a few circuit diagrams available (either free or...
