Dear Friends,
Before Genos, I used my midi keyboard and Cuebase to create my music. As you know, I used to record track by track manually.
After Genos, story has changed when it integrates well with Cubase. I can now record a style performance (all 16 channels) as a single huge track in Cubase and then dissolve them into separate tracks. Later, I can edit each track, add VSTi tracks, ...etc.
I dislike using the Genos midi sequencer so I stick with using an existing style or create my own since recording channels in style creator is a lot smoother than inside the sequencer.
My recording workflow:
1) I use an existing style or create my own style to represent my idea.
2) Once I am satisfied with the style after testing it with several different instruments, I start to add basic mixing to each channel using Genos mixer.
3) When all good, I begin to record the entire style performance in Cubase as a single gigantic track that includes all the Genos channels.
4) I use the dissolve/split function in Cubase to split each channel in its own track.
5) I edit, add, remove, ...etc. when necessary.
6) I add advanced mixing inside Cubase for final result.
7) I master the final result.
Convert the project to audio (wav) file.
The goal is to fully utilize Genos in your studio recording.With that amazing integration with Cubase, you no longer have to record each track individually as you used to do in the past.
I would like to know if someone else is using similar approach or have different workflows.
Please share your preferred recording workflow in Genos and DAW.
Regards,
A.M.
