Hi Lee
I am getting my head around cubase slowly
Yes ,I record all the midi into the Genos song recorder and then transport that to or Import to Cubase for a tidy up.
Once the song is in cubase I pull the drop down on each channel and choose Genos workstation
The whole tune plays then and you can edit.
You have to make Cubase recognize the Genos and put the sound list in from the Yamaha site.
Even with the patch list in It does not show the sounds as you would think but you can rectify that If you wish to .
I leave that alone and all plays ok as when you imported over.
I am now recording each track to audio ,so I can mix the tune better and maybe add a vst
I am having boring fun at the moment. as I have put a couple of decent commercial songs through my speakers so as to get an idea of where I am.
Now I have eleven tracks In front of me and now have to get my song as close as possible. Seems a daunting task at the moment.
Before I just had a fiddle, put a song through a limiter and amplify to get a sound that is near to whatever!!!
I am now watching videos to get a handle on this mixing side.
I do use IK Multimedia's Mix and match and that does a good job in sorting you out, because It learns from a couple of commercial tracks and compares yours,then matches.
It Is never as good as the commercial song but It gets near to It as possible.
Once putting through something like Mastermatch it is still not loud as the commercial track which I find a little funny..
So all I do is put it through a limiter and amplify.
Now I have been watching videos, it is possible to get quality and louder mixes, but It will take me time for all to sink in.
I have finished Oxygene 8 and now I want to posh it up a little
I played my raw version on my Marantz stereo and the bass thundered and rumbled which I did not like.
So I have to find the offending bass areas and make sure nothing is fighting each other in there.
Now there Is a niggle with Yamaha Styles.The kick drums are way to high In my opinion
It's all a worry ain't It
all the best
John
