Most DAWs have something like this, and Cubase’s isn’t even the best implementation (REAPER’s is). I don’t know of any other product that offers something as comprehensive as Q-Link, nor allows you to change the grouped parameter behaviour with a single easily-accessible click. Q-Link is not hotkey mapped by default, so I have mine set to option-q ( alt-q).
Q-Link can be turned on/off whenever you want so that you don’t accidentally make grouped parameter changes when you are doing other actions on selected tracks. Now all channels have the plugin and you can even adjust parameters in the plugin and have them sync’d across tracks. Maybe you have one of those fancy channel strip or console emulation plugins and you want it on every channel? Turn on Q-Link, Select the Channels you want, add the plugin to one channel. That’s right, if the same plugin is in the same slot, then you can change the same parameters in plugins across multiple tracks.Īdding/Removing plugins works as well. Q-Link links everything.įader/pan, channel rack parameters, I/O and ever plugin parameters. In fact, I don’t know of any that can replicate its behaviour. Q-Link is something that many DAWs can not do. The concept of selecting some channels and having them automatically group basic controls isn’t unusual. BANG Open the correct MixConsole and the context is presented to you. Multiple MixConsoles allow you to think in terms of context, “I wish to see this thing”. No more thinking in terms of process, “How do I get to X” or “What do I press to show…”. I believe this is the most under-rated feature in Cubase, and from what I’ve seen it’s also one of the most underutilized. There’s so many possibilities! If you’re reading and you have larger projects then I’m sure your eyes are wide right now, but even people with smaller projects will be able to appreciate how easy it is to access things by simply opening your customized MixConsole for that task. Maybe you want a mixer setup for only metering, or you want quick access to the channel strip? You could have a mixer setup for just your string section, one for only your master track, and one for that banging trap beat. There’s 4 available MixConsoles in Cubase, and they all can be setup differently. Here’s some cool features that I’ve covered before:Ĭubase has a mixer, and a mixer… and a mixer. I’m structuring the article and video based on the things where I feel that the usefulness significantly exceeds the amount of discussion I’ve seen regarding the feature. This article is about the features where I think the hype:leverage ratio is out of whack. There’s a lot more cool features than what I’m discussing here. So give me a few minutes of your time as I count down demonstrate the features that I think get too little recognition for how useful they are. Some of them are available in other DAWS, but I know of nothing that matches Cubase in the complete workflow. Cubase has some really neat features for when you’re mixing your project.
