By popular demand, I decided to make my Logical Editor recipes available to all of you for FREE here: www.domsigalas.com/store/cubase-logical-editor-commands-pack-14-useful-recipes Since there is no specific way to import these to Cubase, please read the instructions, but you might have to do some research on where to copy them on your specific system (which is the reason why I didn't share in the first place!). Enjoy and feel free to modify those and make them your own. Cheers, Dom

Dom, my Monogram setup is en route and will arrive any day now. I cannot wait to map Cubase Logical Editor actions and key commands to my new Monogram buttons and wheels. I used the discount code you gave us - much appreciated. I think it goes without saying that if you go nuts mapping cmds to your Monogram controllers, every creative on the planet would love a video on it …

Hi Dom, Thank you for your sharing, the installation went well in Cubabase 10.5 but the color change doesn't work. Do you think colorization doesn't work because I'm on version 10.5?

One thing I use in Logical Editor regularly is to randomize velocities on off-beats for more realism on drums or ostinato string runs.

Logical Editor been around ever since the Atari days, and its SOOO usefull when working with midi events, like when you fast create a static drum track on your keybed/controller using fixed velocities and timings .. this is not very interesting, but you only have to make a couple of logic presets once, and all you have to do to is press a couple keys to make it "groovey. You can randomize the timings like eg. +/- 5 on eg. hat events, randomize the velocities for certain of beat events, etc. etc. It will take a bit of foot work, but can make your life so much easier. If you often get midi material from clients or your own fast recorded stuff and need to match it to certain software instruments you use, you can very fast get a horrible played midi track that doesn't match your instrument very good to be straightened out so it triggers eg the different sample layers in a useful way. The logic editor is more powerful than most people think, no its not a python/lua script but for most jobs it has enough power to speed up some very cumbersome manual editing, or complete re-recordings to have a useful project in half an hour that would otherwise have taken hours to clean up manually in event/key editor, like straightening or thinning out cc's. It might look cumbersome for some, but it is exactly like Dom shows here pretty "Logical" .. pun intended :) to use. The idea of the Logical Editor goes back to the 80'ies. Its designed as a intermediate advanced power tool without being a Swiss army knife like Python/Lua that not all will have the technical knowledge or interest in to learn.

I actually had this issue today. Had a client listen to the mix and ask that the programmed drums rimshot snare hits be a little more varied. I went back and drew in the changes... but would've been a life saver to just highlight them and apply off-beat changes!! Genius!

Can't tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing. For a long time, I felt that I made the wrong choice with Cubase, but thanks to your videos, I see that I've made the best choice. In fact, after watching your video on Cubase 11 yesterday, I upgraded to it without the usual hesitation I've gone through in the past. Thanks so much for your generosity. And yes, I found the logical editor quite daunting and haven't used it. That changes today.

Are you kidding? 😊 Cubase is a gift from heaven and a lot of professional producers and film composers use it. It's the number one competitor to pro tools and it's the primary choice of most solo/home studio professional producers. (You don't know what you have! 😄)

Dear Dom, I knew about the logical editor. My music computering teacher, back in France, in the Conservatory I was, was teaching us Cubase. I'm using the Logical editor, as an Orchestal mockup and movie composer, to add some "real player randomness" to midi events (like, +10/-10 velocity, +10/-10 ticks in positioning). I'm also having it for "rainbow colorize" my tracks (you select a track, then start the logical editor, and boom, every following track after the one you select is colored with the last color+1. It's beautiful. I'm also using the hide empty tracks when my 5000 tracks (midi, Audio, VCA, FX all together) Orchestal template is a bit heavy to handle. And at the end of a project, to relieve my computer, I'm using the delete empty track command. Of course, all of this put in macros !

This is helpful if working on a project by a client,, but completely unnecessary for ones own project if they use a template. Got to love the power of templates!

Excellent! I learned earlier today that the Logical Editor is the best way to edit track names after rendering virtual instruments.

damn! I've been using cubase since 2003 and am definitely going to start using this now, thankyou so much.

I love the logical editor. I have a 'humanize midi' preset i use that sets random velocity +/- 7, and offsets timing +/- 5. one click EZ

I've used it and played around with it, but never got a real grip on it. This video has clarified a few more things. Thanks :)

never knew about it but really really excited to master this. Thanks Dom. Just upgraded from Mojave to Monterey, and 10.5 Pro to 12 Pro. No hitches and really excited. Very excitable person. I really appreciate your videos......

Your tutorial that I deserve the most from any teacher

Dom, this is Amazing. I have been a Cubase user since the year 2000 and I have never used it. OMG, this is great. I will be using this from now on!

Definitely a professional way to work

Hey guys. Dom's presets work great-thanx heaps Dom. On my PC I added the folder to C:\\Users\\your\_username\*\\AppData\\Roaming\\Steinberg\\Cubase 11_64\\Presets\\Project Logical Editor. I saved a test preset from logical editor & searched for the folder that it was saved into after having trouble pasting Dom's folder into the correct place. :)

Have used the midi logical editor, but never the project logical editor. Thanks so much for the heads up!

😱once again thank you for your work, you are an educator my friend. I hope Steinberg really appreciate you as much as we do.

Thank you, Dom! I was my suggestion to made this video)

Efficiency Power right there!

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I appreciate the great work you do to make Cubase Pro more useable. I just set up an Inserts Bypass macro and accidentally deleted it. Your macro is much better.

oh my God! I've been using cubase since beta till now, and I always afraid to look inside of logical editor. thank you so much, this is the most useful info I've ever watch! looking forward for your next stunning sharing.

You are really showing people the magic of Cubase. Oh gosh… I use the logical editor for all kinds of things…. Removing certain sysex messages. Batch Changing pitch, randomizing velocities, randomizing positions, (for certain plugins that have expressions) adding expressions for certain notes. I would not be a useful producer without this feature. Cubase has so many great features. I usually have all tracks that are bused together in a group track in the same folder. And then I have a track color scheme for the different elements of a song. Drums are red, vocals are purple, vocal effects are light blue. Cubase is really the best DAW.

Sweet glad I'm the 1 outta 10 cubase users who knew most of these but did learn something 🤘

I really enjoy your "BOOM". 😁☺️👍

This color coding trick is insane, you can do it all with one shortcut for the whole session with a Macro!

Wow super nice! The Logical Editor is a real time saver👌

First time using Logical Editor following this video, And really felt that "BOOM" :) Such a great feature, definitely will use it again, will learn how to... Thank you so much for opening that door.

TOP STUFF MATE, LOVE YOUR TIPS...Work flow is greater with your knowledge

i appreciate that you have a more inviting dressing and surrounding . Thanks and Blessings!!!

BECAUSE OF YOUR DETAILED VIDEOS I AM A FAITHFUL CUBASE USER FOR MANY YEARS AND ENJOY LEARNING MORE AND MORE BY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS!! THANKS SO MUCH!!

Thanks a lot Dom! This video is incredibly useful and thank you very much for also providing us the xlm file.

Another thing to note is that you can actually create Key Commands to trigger these Logical Editor presets, or take it even further and create a Key Command that can perform a chain of Logical Editor functions such as coloring all the tracks at the same time.

@Wellness-Wanderer

That's a really great idea! Also you can take things even further. . . . Use Cubase Generic Remote to map something like a Korg nanoPAD to the Logical editor Presets that you use the most. . . . Device: "Command" -----> Channel/Category: "Process Logical Preset" -----> Value/Action: [choose the preset from the dropdown list] :) (You can use any cheap midi pad for this but if you use the nanoPAD then you can even use the scenes function to create groups of pad presets).

@@Wellness-Wanderer here's a trick most people don't know. Not only can you map MIDI to these functions (like you mentioned); you can also map MIDI to virtual banks of MIDI in Cubase. You can use a single MIDI controller to control many Logical Editor presets and chains simply by creating virtual MIDI banks in Cubase. Cubase is just that beastly of a DAW.

Absolutely fantastic, one of those features I just never bothered to get into, but dear lord how much time you can save!

First time Dom i never was aware of it. Thanks!

Love it. This struck a chord. Thanks Dom!

Note to self: Dont be afraid Dom has your back

Wow, it's mind blowing ! Thank you so much, Dom !

Hey this is a great video thanks Dom. Crazy about Cubase.

MIND SUCCESSFULLY BLOWN! amazing!!!

Very good. I use the logical editor all the time to quickly remove very short random glitches from my Midi Guitar input. Saves me tons of editing time.

This was Great!! Looking forward to all of your workshops.

Dom, as usual, another fantastic tutorial!! I love watching all the videos put out by you and Chris. All this information really helps all of us. Thanks so much!!

This is a fantastic time saver and essential to music production organization. Great job Dom

Amazing!!! I have to start using this feature A LOT more, since it´s a real time-saver as you said, Dome. Thanks a lot for your great videos!!

Thank you very much Dom for the free Logical Editor recipes. This is very useful, few clicks then Booommm! It really saves massive time. 👏👏👏👍👍I’m now using your free recipes in my workflow. I will also make my own recipes.

Soooooo useful! Thanks Dom!

Thanks Dom, very helpful tips

Thanks Dom. I've watched several videos on this subject and never really understood how to be a creative user, but the way you explain it I now have a much better understanding of how to go about achieving tasks with this tool. Thanks again!

Thank you ! Brother for sharing your knowledge with us !🙏

This was my first time seeing the Logical Editor in action!! I had no idea. Been using Cubase for almost 5-6 years and didn't know that this existed. Super helpful!! The one with the automatic colouring that you did really blew me away. Love the energy and love the videos, as always! Cheers Dom!

Thanks Dom, great video. You are a wealth of knowledge!

Thank You, Dom. It is a really great video and informative.

Fantastic way to save time ! Thanks a lot

After recently getting back into music creation and buying Cubase, these vids are gold. Well done Dom, very much appreciated. 🤟

I love the autocolor mode of Reaper, you have to do nothing. It colors the track automatically by name, BOOOOOOM!

This is AWESOME insight for all us Cubase geeks around & Thanks millions Dom for another killer lesson... God Bless & Cheers.... :)

In postproduction the renaming options for eg cycle markers with this logical editor is a lifesaver !

Yes I’ve known about logical editor from its first Introduction to Cubase. I had a very small dabble over the years. I started using more of the logical presets in the drop down menu. This video now has inspired me to set up a couple of presets now. Thanks Dom.

Dom, this was much needed. I've been using the Project Logical Editor, but haven't gone as deep. This demonstration has definitely shown how intricate we can get with it. THANKS!!!

I knew about this years ago, but I couldn’t just get it. This was sooo helpful. Dom you’re as awesome as usual!!

The logical editor has always seemed very intimidating to me, this video made it make sense, and gave me ideas on how I can utilize it in my own workflow. Thanks for being amazing as you always are, Dom!

I've been using the PLE to automatically colour all my tracks for a couple of years now. I have a macro to do all the different groups at once and programmed that to a button on my midi controller to make it even easier. Works like a dream.

I just experienced its power the first time like a month ago give or take, and it struck me as interesting. My inner macro/quick command fanboy self was intrigued.. Presets of actions and commands put in to two clicks sign me up.

Totally new to me! Great video as always Dom, thanks!!

Great video Dom. I really like the Bypass Insert Command. I assigned this command to the function #4 on my CC121. Works great.

what a fantastic video dom, thank you very much, i´m using the logical editor all the time for midi related tasks, but i would have never thought of using it to color code and put my channels into folders, wow, what a time-saver, thanks for the inspiration!!

Really helpful.Thanks a lot

Thank you so much, I had no idea how to work with the logic editor, now I just wanna try lots of things!

The logical editor is powerful - up to a point. But getting the level of control you need with just one level of and/or is tricky. I wish Cubase supported an actual scripting language like Python or Lua so we could really automate production.

Wow! Had many aha moments! You explain it so well. Huge thanks!

Thank you for the presets.Great video very helpful.This was my first time using the editor.I'm now a subscriber to your channel.Thank you.

Just fantastic Dom. This video has really inspired me to use the Project Logical Editor. I have seen Greg Ondo use this many times in his forums, however, it looked to be one very complicated beast! But not now. Thank you.

Setting up a touch screen with OSC to control these commands, next level. I need to look into this and how to do it. One press on a s custom screen, it'll be crazy....

I've looked into the PLE a bit before, but gave up at the complexity. Now I will definitely dive in! Thanks.

I'm a Nuendo user and I have heard about the PLE before, but never really dive into it cause at first it did look intimidating and the tutorials I've seen before didn't really explained it with such ease. So thank you! :D

Damn! That colour coding trick is AMAZING! I wish I knew this earlier. Awesome, I will use this all the time now! Thanks Dom! You're awesome :)

Thank you very much!!! Cubase is #1!!!

Time saver suggestion for you - instead of hiding track by name and trying to think of all the various generic drum names to have in your session - create a custom colour like DrumsRed and then toggle the hide by the track colour.

Fantastic! Thanks!!!

Thank you so much!
