Can someone explain side chaining in cubase 5 in a simple way please, i've never actually used it!
peace ♥
Side chaining in Cubase 5 is pretty simple. There's like a side, and then you put a chain on it. That's where the phrase, "Off the chain" comes from. It means when your chain is not sided (it is off the side). So to maintain a proper side chain functionings, you have to make sure your chain is not on the top, bottom, front, or back-- i.e. it must be on the left or right side (or both, which is called "bilateral side chaining").

So in Cubase 5- which is the "base of your cube, times 5"- you have to first find the length of a side of the cube you're working with, which ultimately is your monitor horizontal resolution. So for example, a 1366x768 monitor- working with Cubase 5- would be 3840 (i.e. 768*5). So then on the left or right or both sides of 3840, you put a chain.

Pretty simple, really.

its no different than any other daw.

Peace wins at Cubase!!

that's like saying "insert floppy disk and close door",
putting the disk in and getting up and closing the door
to the room in which you are in.

It's ok... not much has changed in the main program. New M4L stuff is nice.

I just bought Ableton, haven't played on it since version 2 and intend to use it to perform rather than produce (I write in Logic mostly)...anyone got any exciting tips?

put compressor on a send and send your drums to it for parallel compression, adjust send to suit!

Nice one, looks like some interesting stuff to get my teeth into (I'd spied that Tom Cosm guy already, his tutorials seem good and his accent makes me chuckle so I'll definitely be watching more).

I'd be really interested to peak at some of your project files for sure! hello-å†-tootdotcom.çøm
