    Noob question: can Cubase projects created on a Windows computer be opened on a Mac?

    Hey, I use Cubase 5 on a 64 bit Windows 7 computer, and I'm mostly likely going to buy a Macbook soon. Can I continue working on the Cubase projects I started on my Windows on my Mac? Thanks, Devin

    I'm switching to Apple. Can I still use my Cubase project files on it?

    Hello, I currently have Windows 7 64 bit and run Cubase 5 on it. My computer has had a nasty history of being targeted by Trojans and malware, so I've decided to purchase a Macbook so I don't have to worry about viruses. I know Cubase 5 is also compatible with Apple computers, but can I...

    Audio mixdown glitches

    Hey guys well I was able to solve the problem (strangely) by increasing the bitrate. The version that has been since released on CD no longer has the glitch. However, I had to lower the bitrate from 320 to 160 in order to upload some of the tracks onto my Reverbnation page, and unfortunately the...

    Is it best to write the music first or the lyrics?

    I always write the tunes and the chords first, usually simulataneously. This is a question only amateurs ask; write more and you will develop your own methods.

    Audio mixdown glitches

    I'm finishing up a project, and I've been mixing songs down to mp3s just to listen to them in their roughly mixed state. My new songs extensively use the Groove Agent ONE VST plugin, and I packed all of the drum pads with drum samples in most of the tracks. The problem is when I mix my songs...

    Problem with panning in Groove Agent ONE

    I figured it out: I must have had write automation on. At least I figured out what that feature was for via this misstep.

    Problem with panning in Groove Agent ONE

    I'm using Cubase Studio 5 with Groove Agent ONE. Okay, I have this problem where the panning of a certain pad changes as the song is played. A hand clap sample that is intended to stay at 50% Right changes at certain points to 65% Right to 100% Left at other points, etc. Furthermore, the...

    I lost my elicenser. What will happen if I buy a new one?

    Okay, so I lost my Cubase elicenser while traveling. If I buy a new one, will it be like I had never lost it? Will I have to reinstall Cubase or make a new account? I know these questions sound silly, but the thing costs 43 bucks (plus shipping and handling). This shouldn't require a lot to...

    All of the Halionone, Prologue, and Groove Agent One instruments are gone??!?

    The strange thing is the instruments still play, however, when I go to change the preset either all of the instruments are missing or just a select few available. What is going one? How I can I recover the instruments? Is it just a search setting or something? I've been tinkering with this for...

    What effect would I use to level the volume of a vocal track

    A lot of the vocal tracks that I have been recording have several "peaks and valleys" in volume. What should I use to remedy that? I'm using Cubase 5, by the way.

    Which comes first, the music or the lyrics?

    I always start out every composition with a chord progression or keyboard motif. From there I develop a melody and then eventually lyrics. Music first.

    I am getting an ungodly amount of hiss....

    Recently, I was asked by a folk group to record them. I accepted their request, and during my fall break (I'm in college) I decided to buy some additional equipment to help record them. Today, after buying a new dynamic mic, stand, etc I decided to do a test recording with my new equipment. The...

    My project keeps speeding up at a certain point

    For a ten second interval in my project my project increases in speed and then slowly decreases back to the song's original tempo, much to my frustration. What do you think the problem is? It's affecting my ability to finish the song. Thanks, D. Lundy (I'm using Cubase 5)

    Could I use a sampler to perform my material live

    I want to start performing my music live, but the only friends that I have that play musical instruments play guitar, which is unfortunate since my music is generally based around keyboards, percussion, and ambient sounds. In order to promote my 2nd LP (which I am in the process of recording)...
