A NEW DAW OR GOOD OLE CUBASE?

I have to admit for many years I've been a fan of good ole CUBASE. I still use CUBASE today (as well as LOGIC PRO X).

Recently PRESONUS announced a new version of STUDIO ONE 3. After seeing the DAW advertised I thought I this looks interesting I will demo it. So that's what I did.

First impressions I do kinda like the interface. STUDIO ONE 3 comes with synths, drums & samplers:

 

  • Impact- Drums
  • Mai Tai 2- Polyphonic Synth
  • Mojito- Monophonic Synth
  • Presence XT- Synth & Sampler
  • Sample One- Sampler

The synths have some really good sounds.

Also are plenty of Effects including:

  • Ampire- Guitar Amp & Pedals
  • Auto filter
  • Bitcrusher
  • Channel Strip- EQ, Compressor & Expander
  • Chorus
  • Compressor
  • Delay
  • Distortion
  • EQ
  • Fat Channel- Gate, Compressor, EQ & Limiter
  • Flanger
  • Gate
  • Level Meter
  • Limiter
  • Multiband Dynamics-
  • Phase Meter
  • Phaser
  • Pipeline Stereo- Useful for connecting Analog Gear
  • Reverb
  • Rotor- Simulates a Rotary Speaker, based on the Leslie Cabinet
  • Scope
  • Spectrum Meter
  • Tone Generator- Sine, Rectangle, Pink Noise & White Noise
  • Tremolo
  • etc

A unique feature in STUDIO ONE 3 is called: Scratch Pad- The arrangement of your song on the left & scratch pad, on the right of the screen. Scratch Pad allows you to change the arrangement around etc without it effecting the progress on the song you have already made.

Also there is Automation etc.

Will all this though convince me to change from CUBASE to STUDIO ONE 3? PRESONUS's DAW offers a lot for the money & has some very good features. Maybe if did'nt use CUBASE I may well be tempted by STUDIO ONE 3. However, for now I'm sticking to good ole CUBASE.

Any of you tried PRESONUS STUDIO ONE 3? What are your thoughts?

Until next time

CUBASE & LOGIC PRO X- BYPASS ALL PLUGINS!

A few weeks ago someone posted in Facebook group about how to Bypass ALL plugins in Cubase 8.5. (As some of you may know i use Cubase 8.5 in the main studio). It's a lot quicker than turning off each individual plugin. Here's how to do this: CUBASE- Go to File  Key Commands  Mixer (Section) Bypass Inserts Type in box a key (e.g. B etc) Assign OK When you press that key all plugins should be bypassed on the mixer LOGIC PRO X- As far as i know at the moment you cannot just press one button/ key & turn all the plugins off simultaneously. You can row by row.  Here's a quick video tutorial : Hope this helps Until next time Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services) Youtube Instagram Soundbetter

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented  singer-songwriter, musician  & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment.   How did you get into music? I started playing guitar as soon as I could hold one pretty much because my dad was a guitar teacher, and I’ve always had a really deep connection to music. I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms.   What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES  (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK  (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
