probably not gonna be much help to you but for that sort of stuff i use a vst sampler... in my case Battery 3
Other than that you could just drop the audio sample in on an audio track and play it like that?

Thank you for your reply. I will use Battery. I just wondered if there was something easier I was missing.

Dammit I like Cubase but I just can't get the workflow down. It seems a bit overly complicated but I really like the built in FX.

I keep feeling tempted to go back to FL just because it's easier for me. But love of the internal fx keeps me coming back to Cubase, even though I can't get a single song done in it.

Hey, your following the same path as me, altho i went via reason to Cubase...
Stick at it, in 6 months or whatever youll get there, the workflow is different to FL therefore it will take some time to get used to...once you do, i think youll probably stick with Cubase...
good luck

Errr... just... import the audio sample? And move it to wherever in the track you want it to play?

Is there a sound browser in Cubase? Or something similar?

lol.

In FL Studio, this was a simple matter - just add a sampler channel and then drag and drop the sample.

and in cubase its just as simple. just add an audio channel and drag n drop the sample.

u can drag n drop any audio file from any windows folder right into the sequencer, it even makes a new audio track for you if you dont drag it into one. or file -> import. it cant get more simple.

'sound browser' in cubase = file -> import.

if you insist on having a constant bar on the left side of the screen that always shows samples like FL, use battery, it has that

Thank you for answering my questions. I'm not really a production noob... Just a Cubase noob.

Thanks again. I'm going to use battery because I like to easily browse and switch samples.

Technically you don't even need to create an audio track first, it'll create one automatically for you if you import a sample and don't have an audio track selected.

For a sample browser... the import dialog works fine for me. It's got live preview and everything, it's even got a position trackbar for long samples. If you wanna speed things up, just set up a key mapping so it comes up whenever you press the enter key (or whatever key you want).

Assuming we're talking about *ahem* legal solutions, Battery isn't really the greatest solution to such a simple problem considering its price tag. If you really need an out-of-band browser, just use Windows Explorer, the drag-and-drop works fine from it.

yeah since ive switched from FL i kinda missed the easy swaping of samples you dont get using audio tracks , but ive really got used to it, i just pick good samples, its SUPER rare i ever get the urge to change a sample halfway thru the song after ive started arrangment.

Thanks Mysitcal and Digi. Digi - I like using battery for drums too. As for the price, I got it new in the box on ebay for about $100 US a year ago. I was disappointed when I had trouble getting it to work in FL like it works in Cubase. Got to love ebay... And www.zzounds.com is another place I like to get cheap stuff. Free shipping there on most hardware too.

Neither of us use battery.
