Cubase Editors Explained®
-
5:38 Introduction
Mark introduces you to the multiple editor views available in Cubase 7 and how they interact with each other.
-
9:44 Edit In Place Overview
While being introduced to the Edit In-Place editor found within the Project Window, we’ll look at how we can edit MIDI data directly without the need to open an independent edit window.
-
5:07 The In Place Editor in Action
Mark explores using the In Place Editor to integrate multiple controller event data to modify MIDI notes recorded. Mark also looks at copying notes between tracks using independent In Place Editors.
-
5:08 Adapting In Place Editing
Mark now looks at adding, deleting, adapting and editing within this editor. Additionally, Mark looks at how the snap function dictates how edited notes update.
-
6:51 Drum Editor Overview
Mark now uses the drum editor to build up a drum pattern and how we set it to automatically open when a GM drum map is used. Additionally, we look at the way in which the data columns are presented.
-
13:41 Drum Editor Functions
We now take a comprehensive look at the available edit functions available to us within the drum editor. We build up a drum groove from scratch whilst incorporating a quantize map from an audio track. Also, we look at speeding up the process of energizing a pedestrian hi-hat pattern by using the ‘Function / Velocity’ operation.
-
11:04 Drum Editing
In this video Mark takes on further information concerning editing a drum pattern to make it sound more lifelike. In particular, Mark looks at adapting the Snap and Quantize functions to create a realistic performance.
-
7:01 Drum Editor Mapping
Mark looks at how utilizing and adapting drum maps helps us record and play back particular drum strikes. We look at how we link a drum map to a nominated VSTi.
-
6:24 List Editor Overview
We now take an overview look at another editor here and discover how it both differs and mirrors other editor windows. We do this by inspecting a bass midi file.
-
10:01 List Editor in Action
Mark explores how the List Editor can be used to not only insert new midi notes, but also how we can add in different types of midi data. Additionally, we look at general editor window preferences.
-
6:42 Key Editor Overview
Mark takes an overview look at the Key Editor that acts like a ‘full version’ of the In Place Editor with extra functions. We take in information about some of the tool bar options that make using all of the editors easier.
-
6:44 Linking Editor Functions
Mark examines linking functions between the different Cubase editors. Additionally, we take in information about some of the functions available to make identifying musical performances easier to understand. We also look at using multiple drum lanes to focus on individual drum sounds.
-
8:14 Key Editing Multiple Parts
Mark explores editing more than one performance at a time. For ease, we do this by setting up individual tracks with distinct colours that make identifying the different tracks easier within one editing window.
-
7:24 Key Editor Inspector
We now look at the inspector within the Key Editor so that we can understand what is possible when we want to transpose notes. We also look at the Independent Track Loop function that makes auditioning a specific range within a midi event. Additionally, we take in information about how to manually add chords rather than single notes.
-
7:46 Automating Notes
Mark examines using Cubase controller functions to make a tambourine pattern ‘breathe’ with more life redolent of a real performance. Additionally, we look at utilizing Note Expression to make a bass line sound more real too.
-
6:01 Logical Editor
Mark explores using the Logical Editor and look at a preset to help us understand how it can be used to ‘isolate’ user defined parameters that subsequently get adjusted to create a MIDI action.
-
7:32 Score Editor Overview
Here, we take on overview of the Score Editor and how it operates. We look at how we can adapt it to look the way we want it to be presented.
-
7:58 Sample Editor
Mark takes a look at what is possible within the audio sample editor and how it differs but still runs in parallel with the Audio Part Editor.
-
3:59 Audio Part Editor
Mark digs deeper into how the Audio Part Editor allows us to edit multiple audio files within one ‘container’.
-
2:03 Video Editing Setup
We now explore integrating video within a Cubase project, how to set it up and issues of which we need to be aware.
-
5:54 Using Video in Cubase
We move forward here and look at how to integrate video into Cubase and how to set it up so that it displays useful information pertinent to synchronizing with audio.
-
2:51 Video Viewing
Learn how we require the floating video panel to be open to be able to view a video brought in to Cubase on its own distinct video track.
-
5:52 Converting MIDI
We finish here by reflecting on some of the functions discussed during the course and introducing some further ideas too. In particular, we look at converting a piano midi performance into a nylon string guitar performance by using Note Expression. Finally, we look at converting the piano performance into a guitar tab format within the Score Editor.

Superb, thorough tutorial
An excellent, methodical tutorial. Best viewed as a unit, the pieces work exceedingly well together. There are a lot of "I'll get to this in a later tutorial"s that might be an issue for someone watching some of them in isolation, but if you want to take an afternoon and get a comprehensive overview of Cubase's editors, you really couldn't ask for better. Extra thumbs up for the presenter's clear delivery and understated sense of humor.

Cubase editor depth!
I've used Cubase for about 1,000 hours and watched at least 20 hours of professional quality video instruction for it. Despite all this I never learned some of the critical details in this tutorial about so many of the editors. This new knowledge is already radically changing my workflow! This tutorial fills a tremendous void regarding Cubase editor usage. Thank you!

Concise and coherent
Cubase ... like other flagship DAWs, is an incredibly deep program. The BFM is over 1200 pages and does not always exhaustively explicate all of its deeper features ... event when the several hundred pages of supplemental manuals are taken into account. This tutorial does a very good job of 'introducing' some of the deeper features of the many editors available in Cubase and is worthwhile for the intermediate or advanced user as prologue or 'refresher.' I have only given it 4 stars because it has on irritating aspect and one major deficiency in my view. Irritatingly it often cross references things it glosses over to "other Groove3 tutorials" without specify which ones and in which tutorial of that one the requisite information is to be found. The deficiency is the shallow attention paid to the Logical Editor, ultimately Cubase's most powerful and compelling feature, particularly for MIDI editing. It deserves 3 or 4 dedicated tutorials, not the glossed over 'intro' provided. Nonetheless, 4 stars is 4 stars.

Tons of info, pay attention!
Alot of good information here, don't be put off with it being Cubase 7, it still applies to Cubase 8+. The only issues I had were the strong British accent, you really have to pay attention and the disorganized/confusing titles used for each video, they do not flow well and it's not always easy to know which videos are related because of this. Using titles like this would have been much clearer. Edit in Place - Overview Edit in Place - In Action Edit in Place - Adapting Drum Editor - Overview etc.... Regardless, well worth your time to watch entire series.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
Having a father with a recording studio and having played guitar since being a 14 year old kid, I quickly got into recording. But, the purchase of a Tascam 244 Portastudio was a breakthrough in realizing what I wanted to do.
2. What training have you had?
I taught myself to play guitar and keyboards and found it a remarkably calming and mathematical experience learning the rules of intervals within a scale and how they can take you to any chord.
3. When did you get into recording?
The purchase of the cassette based Tascam 244 lasted a fair few years until I moved up to a Roland VS880 which then linked in to building a purpose built commercial multimedia studio around 15 years ago mainly running Steinberg and Adobe software.
4. People you have worked with/for?
Thankfully, nobody famous enough to have an ego. Instead 100's of happy Joe Public clients.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
My degree is in English and Teaching and I was a grammar school teacher for over 10 years before changing direction and working solely from my studio. recording music and filming for clients.
