Have you figured out how to bus the output of one track to another audio track and record it yet Eric? I should not be lazy and just read how. But I was curious if you'd figured that out yet.

No I havent had time to mess with that one yet. I am currently in the beginning phases of writing a new track, so I dont figure I'll get to that for a little while once my track arrangement is completed. If you figure it out, please do let us know!

Originally posted by excite331 I still don't 'trust' Cubase 4 and haven't upgraded from SX3. How many happy Cubase 4 users are there on here? 4.1 looks tempting but I still don't know....apart from drag and drop fx I'm not really that interested on anything else. But drag and drop fx.....arg, that alone is the outstanding reason by a long way that makes me want to upgrade.

wait till nuendo 4 comes out then get cubase if you really want to get it. They do this every time. Release a shit program and make the users beta testers until they get things patched up by thetime their flagship product gets released.

no.

lolz!

anyway... C4 is a major step up from SX3 in my oppinion. instrument channels, sidechaining and the quick edit panel thing would make it worthwhile for most people. it does have it's downside though - there is a bit of extra bloat.

Frankly, I couldn't care less about the bloat, my computer is fast enough to handle it. The only thing which steers me away from Cubase is the workflow. I hate having too many windows. This is all preference though. Infact, people with smaller monitors (I have a 22" LCD) would probably prefer the window style UI.

I wish there was a damn demo so I could try it on my machine.

That means they would have to bypass the usb dongle which won't be happening.
I'll try out 4.1 this weekend, much good comments!

Lots of people are having issues with the update being stupid. Errors occur when it tries to merge with your old settings.

I followed these instructions located here:

Everything is working fine now. Hope that fixes your VU meters.


Oh and side-chain is easy to do. Has to be a VST3 plug-in (of course). Open up the plug-in and press a button that looks like a little bracket "[" turned on it's side with an arrow pointing down into it.

That plug-in will now show up as a bus destination. Go to the track you want to key the compression and use a send. Simple.

Yeah it is super-simple now. Of course you can always use the old way using a Quadro FX channel or the Dual Stereo Panner method aas well.

One more MAJOR bug that was fixed that I had previously complained about on this forum:

The LFO & Delay rates in the new VSTi's (Prologue, Mystic & Spector) now shows a beat division value when set to MIDI/song sync! YES!!

DOPE!!! Didn't check for that yet. I'll have to go play with that.
