    strings

    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...

    surround sound on SB Live 5.1

    thanks for that, but it doesn't work in Cubase, as far as I can see you can't add virtual buses or whatever. Does anyone else know if what i'm asking is possible? If not I'll just have to not bother! cheers anyway

    surround sound on SB Live 5.1

    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...

    surround on a SB Live 5.1

    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...

    4 speaker mxing

    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...

    weird copy and paste thing in Cubase

    no, that doesn't seem to work - I tried ALT-dragging, alt+Ctrl+V, nothing, the event points (I mean the little dots that join the lines in pan/fade curves etc) still paste into the channel I copied from even though I selected a different audio channel to paste into. There most be some way of...

    weird copy and paste thing in Cubase

    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...

    soundfont player?

    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...

    The Big Boom...

    ooh resurrecting an old thread. i was interested to read poepl here talking about the Roland M-OC-1 orchestral module (or similar) as this is apparently the bit of kit used in Dave Fridmann's studio on stuff like the Flaming Lips. I love that sound and am wanting to try an recreate it...

    odd latency problem?

    well yeah, I know that 441.khz has to be resampled to play properly at 48khz, presumably with some loss of quality (aliasing or something?). but if everything's recorded at 48khz when running cubase at 48khz it should be ok yeah? but will there be a significant loss of quality (by this i mean...

    odd latency problem?

    cheers I'll try that out until I can afford a better card, but does that mean that to burn the result to WAV to put on an audio CD I'd have to knock it back down to 44.1KHZ 16bit? does this cause a problem later on?

    odd latency problem?

    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...

    help with midi recording.

    no, the double notes are definitely recorded: bringing up the midi track that has been recorded (i.e. double click on the section) and there are two notes where there should be one. First, the note where it should be on the timeline, of length x, then another note on the same note, same length...

    help with midi recording.

    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...
