It can not pan a mono track because there’s only 1 channel. Stereo Effects in CubaseĮvery effect that you put on a mono track is mono. A 0 means that you’re on your own and need to buy entirely third-party products to complete a production, and a 100 means that you’d be a moron if you replaced any of these plug-ins without trying them out really well first.
#CUBASE 9 PRO MANUAL FULL#
The overall rating is based how well the full package of Cubase Pro fulfills the needs of a musician, producer or recordist. This means that the ‘90 plug-in’ is fantastic when you need it, and the ‘48 plug-in’ is just good enough even if you use it constantly.
You may see me rate something that few people would use often as a 90, and another plug-in that’s very useful as a 48. I only consider Magneto II in the context of saturation effects, and Pitch Correct in the context of pitch correction effects. While I may use Magneto II on every project in Cubase, and never use Pitch Correct that does not affect their rating. There is one other thing about these ratings that is very important: they are contextual to the class of process. If the amp/cabinet type displays were better then I may have given it another 2-3 points. If you could load impulses, I’d probably have given it another 5 points. When I learned that you could drag the graphical display elements, I added 2 more points. I originally had this labelled a 4, but when I tried it with bass guitar I knocked it up to a 6. I felt it was usable in some certain cases, a failure for it’s main task, and had an excellent GUI. So for instance let’s take AmpSimulator right below. So… I use a scale of 0-100, and I modify my base rating as I’m going. Sometimes it’s something small that may make me want to knock down the rating a bit, or something fairly major that makes me wanna knock it up… but not a full point. Often I’ll learn something about them that I missed in my initial experience with the plug-in. I already have a good idea of what I think about these plug-ins from hours of use already, but while writing this up I am constantly checking the manual, videos and using them.
So why don’t I just leave it at a scale of 0-10? Why good man, thank you for asking! 10: I would pay for this at competitive market price.9: I often would select this over a paid plug-in of decent repute, OR a 7/8 with a really good GUI or some other very unique feature.
7-8: Good with some unique feature, great GUI or other area of excellence.Whether it’s a 4, 5 or 6 depends largely on the GUI. 2-3: There might be a redeeming quality that is rarely useful, but mostly garbage tier.I may give a full point of ‘1’ if it seems like they put in some semblance of thought in to the concept. 0-1: Garbage Tier plug-in that almost always does more harm than good.First I start out with my rough rating on a piece of paper on a scale of 0-10. These are my subjective evaluations of these products, but the ratings are not random. There’s going to be arbitrary ratings of ‘78’ or ‘33’ instead of ‘30’ or ‘80’. So hang on tight! (and please read the ‘Rating’ section first!)ġ-100? Great. So now I’m going to review the included audio effects in the latest from Steinberg: Cubase 9 Pro. In a close second Place are the Digital Performer series. The Studio One Effects Review and Studio One Instruments Review appear to have been one of the more popular posts on my blog according to analytics.
