On the sound creation side of things, one of the bigger additions is the piano-based instrument Verve. There is a lot more to the Chord Track than this, as it can also be used as a powerful composition tool, but the audio-based chord detection alone is a really great feature – try it on your favourite song for some interesting insights into how they are written. The Chord Track can then be used to inform further edit choices. This ties in neatly with C12’s new Audio to MIDI function that can analyse any selected audio and turn it into Chord Events on the Chord Track. This makes musically appropriate edits easier (including pitch quantisation) and transposing audio to create harmony parts much quicker. Scale Assistant (introduced in C11 and previously available within the MIDI-based Key Editor) allows you to make changes that fit within the select key or scale. VariAudio, the pitch editing and correction engine in Cubase, had some great technical improvements in Cubase 10, and while C12 doesn’t expand on these, it adds Scale Assistant integration. Besides manual and hitpoint-based editing (and even quantisation), there are also many other creative uses of these features, and they get a big thumbs-up. There will obviously still be potential audio artefacts caused by the stretching process – though with small changes these are minimal – and slicing drums the conventional way still has its place, but this is a great option to have available. One important aspect of this is the addition of a Phase-Coherent AudioWarp button which allows you to avoid problems associated with warping a single performance recording captured with multiple microphones (such as a full drum kit). You’ll have to commit to their subscription model, which not everyone is a fan of.Ībleton Live has traditionally lacked a few features geared toward recording-heavy projects, but what it does, it does very well. They’ve been battling it out for years!Īn industry standard, particularly for larger studios. Please install it and see how it goes.If you already have the dongle (and a Mac), then Logic is an obvious alternative to Cubase. Try to resize your plugins and see if the black borders disappear.Īlso now Cubase has been updated to 12.0.30. Normally, if you set a negative value, the plugin window will reduce in size and some of the plugin GUI will be cropped, instead of having black borders. When you set HiDPI, the plugin GUI itself will keep the same size in pixels if it is not HiDPI compatible, or doesn’t communicate properly with Cubase, but the plugin window will increase in size according to the HiDPI value, creating the black borders. It all depends on how the plugins communicate with Cubase and vice-versa, and whether they are HiDPI compatible or not. The HiDPI setting is directly related to that behavior. If you resize them from their own handle, the window will follow, but if you use the window’s handle, the plugin GUI will keep the same size and only the window will become larger with black borders filling the gaps. Some plugins can be resized from both their own handle and Cubase’s plugin window handle. Let me know if there’s any info I could provide to ease up fixing the issue. I really hope that scaling issues will get finally sorted out, because since Cubase 10.5, I’ve stumbled upon a lot of those.Ĭonsidering that Steinberg are the developers and owners of the VST specification and independent Cubase scaling option is there for multiple major versions, it seems really wierd to have so much of those issues with so many plugin vendors. Plugins that are working okay are from FabFilter, tbProAudio, SoundToys (VST2), Black Rooster Audio (VST2), Native Instruments, IK Multimedia, brainworx, kHs, sound theory, Arturia, Softube, Melda, Baby Audio, Antares, Audified. The window enlarges in size with an empty background every time it opens: Window jumps in size and ALSO increases in size every time it opens:Ĭontent size jumps, but stays the same. Everytime the window opens, the final size stays the same: Changing internal scale fixes cropping until the next time the window is opened: Shrinked content, temporary fixable with plugin’s internal scaling setting. Issues, divided by categories (there are 5 issue types): So the issue is there only if Windows scale and Cubase scale are different. When Windows scaling is set to 100% and Cubase scaling set to System’s - mentioned plugins function correctly. I’ve reproduced the issue with 125, 150 and 175% scalingĬubase has HiDPI option activated and scaling is set to “-25%” Windows scaling set to any value other than 100%. I’ve found some issues related to the Cubase & plugins scaling.
