If you don't use master bus processing, this can work well: keep the reference track muted, and when you solo it, it will play and all the other tracks will be muted. Simple A/B'ingĬubase's Pro's Cue Sends can be used to monitor your reference tracks via the Control Room without the signal flowing through your project's master stereo bus - but while this side-steps any bus processing, it also skips the loudness metering, and it uses up one of only four available Cue Sends.An obvious approach is to put references on a track in your mix project and align the clips with the relevant parts of the arrangement. Several plug-in options exist, including Mastering The Mix's Reference, Melda's MCompare, and ADPTR's Metric AB, but you may be able to do what you want using Cubase alone. When Sample Magic announced that they'd soon stop supporting their Magic AB plug-in, some of you asked me to recommend other mix-referencing tools.

I miss these Cubase features the most (hopefully S1 updates will give some of these): Tracks for video files, Variaudio when working with tuning, adding fx offline workflow, giving random values of velocity and timing to midi notes, the tracks view is a bit cleaner to my eyes, able pitch bend up and down, able to change the pitch "tape-mode" where files slow down or are faster depending the values, Cubase interface stays snappier even with big projects, CPU handling is still a little better.Cubase offers various options for comparing your mixes with reference tracks. Here are some of the thing I like in S1: Transform instrument tracks to audio and back, I like the mixer GUI better, drag and drop everything, quickly select tracks and they are grouped, the midi editor looks clean with tabs, channel pre-gain, my legacy Faderport works(!), instrument preset system is great, 0.5 and smaller upgrades usually give some really useful new features (for free), bus channels have a console emulations called "Mix FX" with crosstalk, I can actually open the fx plugin when clicking the sends. I don't use expression maps personally, so I don't care about those. Cubase is the king if you love HUGE 600-1000+ track projects, but I found the modular way to build the template in Studio One, so performance is not an issue.

However, within a few months, I've been using Studio One more, because some of the workflow things just work for me so well, that when using Cubase I really miss those. I'm switching between Cubase and S1 constantly.

#Cubase 4 control room plus
The marketing department seems to be focusing on film composers, which is a plus in a way, as it suggests that future features will focus on "composers" (could be "just marketing", I know).ĭo you guys have suggestions and things to mind before making a decision? S1 runs smoother than Cubase on my system, don't know why.Ĭubase: Expression Mapping and other additional MIDI features, great chord features S1 doesn't have yet (insert chords, drop notes, etc.). Mousewheel-Scrolling through your tracks seems to be a nightmare with such low speed in larger arrangements though. Studio One: Seems to be laid out very nicely and has a lot of functions. Having tried both out, I'm still very uncertain of what to go for in the end. I already downloaded and started two "free 30 day trials". Yep, I'm "that guy" using FL Studio composing film music.

Coming from FL Studio I now want to switch my DAW to something more capable for the orchestral genre.
