Cubase 7 - What do you want?

[muziksculp]

Any clues if Steinberg will be releasing Nuendo 6 before Cubase 7 ?

If they do that, we can most likely see some of the new Nuendo 6 features in Cubase 7.

I would like some improvements on external effects, hey we are on gearslutz aren't we?

1) option of saving external effects routing with project
2) If the external effect plugin window had a little note pad we could write down the settings of the hardware there.
3) Bounce channel in place; better freeze function that puts the the new audio file in the project for further editing and processing (would not mind if it was on a new channel). I would however would like to indicate what range to bounce as I often have more songs in one project.
4) Option of mid-side (de)coder for the external plug ins and yes, why not also for all other inserts!

Furthermore:
improved zooming functions
improved group editting (for instance variaudio or free warp on more audio tracks at the same time. ie in case more microphones where used on one sound source)
A ruler track (seconds and or bars and beats) that can be set to zero anywhere in the project.

These are very, very useful and great ideas that I would love to see in the next version.

I think a pitch envelope feature is necessary: Cubase Pitch Envelope Automation

[wakestyle]

Like SB will ever read this anyways but..

Implement the 5 star rating system with plugins, and when you hover over the plugin you can get a small description of your own or a factory description.

Some plugins can have cryptic names.

Multi-touch support for the Slate Raven thing? I'm a very happy user of 6.

There can be few thing i want in c7 but one thing i surely DONT want in cubase 7 is the DONGLE

Drawing a startpoint on a track so you can bounce the track from that location. Now I have to record the start to be able to bounce all tracks from same starting-location.

This is how it used to work: http://www.jakerock.com/DIYAUDIO_art...rom_cubase.htm

Why don't you press "2" (i dont know what the tool is called) then select the length you wanna bounce and done?

4) "hot plug" support for USB devices, so I don't have to restart cubase if I plug something like a keyboard in.

Yeah, tempo control would be great, dialing in numerical values or scrollwheeling with the mouse is clumsy.

But hot-swapping USB devices is no problem, I do it all the time with my keyboards.

No one else would find this useful? Cubase 7 - What do you want?

[gomfist]

i think cubase works internally at 32bit float so it doesnt need that? it cant be overgained... but i am not sure..


thats my request:

I would like to be able to drag the end of an audio part along the Quantize Grid and have it pitch up or down in order to get to the right speed, WITHOUT granular timestretching.

Sound example:

Zippyshare.com - example1-01.mp3

1. normal beat - wrong tempo

2. time stretched Beat with MPEX (artifacts are introduced)

3. Pitched Beat (no artifacts)


I have a few reasons for this request, which I personally consider extremely important.
1) Sound FX. There's no reason why many sound FX couldn't be pitched up or down to fit tempo. Granular timestretching doesn't always suffice!
2) Drum Loops. I appreciate that for most people most of the time, drums are adequately catered for by other features. I need more control and flexibility.
3) DJ-style purposes. Even if only to tempo-sync' a reference track, it would be a nice addition and a major feature enhancement. Ableton Live can do it!

I'm desperately hoping this will already be a planned addition to the feature set, but I didn't find any information on it.

The TImestretch algorithsm do get better and better but still - sometimes I want that VIntage sound and quickly.

[dark blue man]

I mentioned this on another board and don't know if anyone else has suggested anything similar but:

I think it would be nice if all samples you load into Grove Agent One gave you the option to copy them to the pool and working folder, which could then be edited in Cubase's wave editor. Simple but I think that would be useful.

Note, I'm not talking about preset kits, though I don't really see why not.

that's always been there if you're talking about vsti's (midi); seeing your post, you indeed are.

but another pitch envelope-related feature would be nice-- to be able to draw a pitch envelope directly on audio events (and be able to set the algo to do this, either classic sampler-style up/downsample that changes the duration, or a time-preserving algorithm like mpex).

it does work @ 32fp internally, but not all plugins do, and some that do work at 32fp actually react differently to high modulation signals on purpose (vintage modelling ones). so yeah, the in-between plugins gain monitoring would be a nice and handy feature, esp. if you're into crazy sounddesign and plugin chaining.

if you're on c6, and go into the pool, and change the algo for the respective sample to 'tape', wouldn't it do this?
what i'd actually like to see is being able to change the samplerate this way in musical related increments (semitones); i think someone mentioned using calculator to count the length change needed for a certain transposition but meh that's not very conducive to creativity.

i can do this using autohotkey scripting.

[korgroland]

I would like to see a quick and easy auto punch feature added. I record myself alot, and that was always very handy on my old AW-4416.

[unspoken]

Multi-touch support and separate window with assignable buttons for various commands and macros. This would be great for touch monitors.

it wont do it.. tape is again some algorithm that mimics plain and simple resampling but is adding some stuff like upspeed etc.. its not the same its again an algorithm. and this added stuff makes it useless for breaks.

Maybe not exactly what you want but there's always the punch-in at locator feature.

[wakestyle]

The inclusion of LAME mp3 encoder.
Rename multiple tracks at once
More options to in the create new tracks menu - like naming schemes and defining of input/output routing

Getting rid of the necessity of the routing page and simply use assignments on tracks - I think this makes sense
project dependent hardware setting (latency, recording settings, offsets)

Midi recording offset per-device setting (already mentioned)

Track "transformer" as mentioned similar to Logics

Oh, and Folders within Folders

If you mean track folders, that is already possible.

[lukasbrooklyn]

btw. it would be well appreciated if c7 reverted to the way overlapping events had been displayed in C5 and prior. the way the overlaps are either not displayed, or displayed in a completely eye-fatiguing way, is a real eyesore / workflow hinderance. fix that please. :/ (or is there a workaround?)

really? cubase´s fraunhofer mp3 encoder sounds very good, or not?

in the routing dialog you can use your own setup presets, very handy I think.

oh, in Cubase there´s also a (much better, great functionality) plugin called "transformer", or use "project logical editor" e.g.

[mindsound]

I'm actually excited. We're only 26 days away from all this wishing and hoping being over! I thought the US presidential election was long. This is longer. Anyway, Dec. 5th can't get here quick enough for me. I am ready for some new stuff. CUBASE 7 is going to make my xmas very happy!

[Sir Chris]

Don't know if it was mentioned already but would be cool if Cubase 7 would include a button to activate/deactivate summing on mixer view. But guess that would be more luxury thing.

@ Undertow. So it is so it is. I was sure I had tried that several times before with no success.

Nightshifter

In critical listening tests there can be a big difference. But it's not about if one is better or not, its that there is no choice to use 3rd party encoder. Why should we be forced to wait (or use another program) when LAME is available for free and is more frequently updated?

Nightshifter

I don't get it.

Nightshifter

Handy maybe but no different than having to setup them up per project. If routing went direct to the tracks from the drivers there would be no need for presets.

Not even close to what I'm talking about.

[GearNerd]

I would pay double for Cubase, if I didn´t have to use the freaking dongle!

I´m serious, I would!
