I've been in a commercial studio before and I'm sorry to say that's not how the "pros" do it. Not to take anything from your video though. It should help a lot of people.


Thats what automation is for man, ones the tracks are pasted out u can mute certain tracks etc automaticly(if u know cubase or protools u know this is fairly simple).

IF u have differnt seqences or bridges u just record the 8 bar loops of those and cut and past those where u want in the song. This is alot more flexable casue u can move the breakdowns around in the song(just cut and past the entire breakdown loops) Instead of sitting there and tracking out the ENTIRE thing in song mode on your MPC.


U gotta understand once tha track loops are pasted out they are the same as if u sat there and recorded each track for 5 mintues.

WHne u record each track for 5 mintutes ALLL ur recording is a loop!!!. THis tequniuqe cuts out that process

And im sorry man i dont know what studio you went too.
but this is how most professinals track . TIme is money and u will not see guys sitting there recording each indivualdal track for 5 mintues at a time
thats a waste.

man, i got it all figured, syncin and stuff. but where do i tell cubase
what inputs it's recording? i have midi'd it up and i have plugs comin out
of my 1k to inputs 3 and 4 of my soundcard (m-audio delta 1010lt). on
cool edit pro its easy just to assign the inputs you wanna record to each
track but i didnt get the midi to work on that one so i have to figure
this cubase out.... so where do you asign inputs for track on cubase?
