Cubase user here. I love it. Great Video.

It seems like everyone is missing the point here. It's not about the DAW, it's about the process. That and inadvertently showing how important it is to get a great sound/tone in the recording phase. Great video series, keep it up!

Learning from Glenn's recent tutorial videos my mixes sound 1000% better no BS!

listen to his drum mixing tutorials but not his guitar ones. your mixes will sound even better then

I really love Reaper, you can't beat it for the price, all the features, updates, the community and it's very intuitive, I previously used Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools and even Fruity Loops and Magix Samplitude, but since i found Reaper, I stayed there!

Reaper is awesome.

I use Logic. But I don't care what is used in tutorials. They're all pretty much the same. A DAW might have a unique way of doing things, but there's always a work around no matter which workstation you use. So use whatever the hell you want. haha

Munkey Metal Covers - cubase has something called VariAudio 3 now in cubase 10. I have logic as well, but have not found a workaround. I agree that a DAW is a DAW, but cubase has some really cool features that I cannot find in other DAWs. Checkout VariAudio 3 and let me know if logic can do the same. Been trying to figure it out.

@@jeffreydan Well I don't know how they compare because I don't use Logic's pitch editor; I use Melodyne if I ever tune anything. But Logic has Flex Pitch. But I don't think we should be discussing pitch correction in SMG's comment section. Glenn might ban us from commenting. haha \m/

Haha.. been doing the same thing.. I’m on Logic Pro 8 and using a 2008 iMac.. can’t even go online within to download plugins so it’s totally what came with the software.. I don’t have expensive gear, I’m using a prosonus 24 bit 8 channel fire pod interface.. drum mics were just a cheap set offline, but they were 100 times better than regular dynamic mics.. I also have the apex205 ribbon mic (as recommended by this channel) for the room mic.. I made a sub kick from an old snare drum shell and 12 inch speaker and for vocals I actually have some decent mics compliments of a great price from a mate that is one of the top sales reps for rode mics here in Australia.. an NTK and an NTK/K2.. I usually put the NTK in the normal position and suspend the k2 upside down above it almost touching.. that gets a good vocal sound I think.. I’ve been watching these vids and my mix is sounding 100% better so regardless of the DAW, as someone already said there is always some kind of way to work around it for pretty much the same result.. I do have a question though.. my guitar rig is POD x3 pro rack unit into a positive grid bias rack amp.. when I recorded, I just did D.I straight out of the POD and left the bias amp out of it.. things I’ve been seeing and reading suggest I should’ve actually gone from the pod into the amp and D.I from that.. is that right?? Because I’m having issues with guitar sound and something I watched said the pod in particular can be shit to D.I from because it gets too saturated and electronicy sounding which seems to be creating some frequency issues in the mix making it sound like it’s kind an of distorting to much or something like that..if I had gone through the bias amp, would that have been better and given me a better guitar tone to start/work wth?? Cheers in advance for any help...

Please keep this video series coming. I am actually recoding drums on cubase at the moment and this really helps. Thanks.

I’m using Logic Pro x, and your videos have made a huge difference in “glueing” my drums together Thanks!

These videos have definitely leveled up my game! thank you so much for taking the time to put this together and sharing it with the world!

Thank you for the knowledge and help Glenn! Your videos have helped make my mixes sound so amazing! I use Cubase and bought a Reaper license last year solely because of your using it. Love them both equally!

Using Cubase Essentials and Reaper. Thanks for these great tutorials! I've learnt a lot from watching you mixing these drums!

THANK YOU so much Glenn!! This 2 videos are so helpful!! please keep on!

I'm using Cubase. Your videos are really helpful no matter the DAW. Also haista vittu Glenn!

Glenn I loved this! Please keep it up!!

What a cool voice and delivery you have, perfect for a metal radio station haha.

Longtime Cubase user, and recently stared using Logic Pro and Cubase 10.... I am actually refreshed that someone that does Metal is finally using Cubase in tutorials. Thank you!!!

This is seriously an amazing tutorial and has improved my mixing in Cubase.

Im all about logic more of a learning curve than other daws I've used but so worth it, i love it how they keep adding amazing plugins in the daw itself, love the latest vintage EQs they added .

There's the content that I like! Nice job Glenn!

Hell yeah this is amazing! Can’t wait to try it on my covers!

Perfect! This is all great information. Thanks Glenn.

awesome video! I LOVE parallel compressing ... scheps parallel particles is wonderfull for basically everything i love it ... totally recommended for parallel compression!!

Great drum sound Glenn!

I totally appreciate you! You've helped me to clean up my mixes tremendously! 🔥🔥🔥

Glenn, you do love toms, because they are fricking loud now! Well done.

Started withTracktion7, then upgraded to waveform9 and thanks to you for 3 months now- Reaper. and I'm digging this Cubase! Like "Munkey Metal Covers" says it's ALL good! Thank You Glenn for every tutorial you have ever made. -JGH

I am using Pro Tools 12 (2018). The principles you show in your videos should work across most DAW's. Keep up the good work!

The whole drum track turned out so well

These tuts are fenomenal. I hope that after the drums will be the rest of the band :)

I use Studio One. I like the features. Great tutorials!

Pro tools for me but as many say (& its true) its what your comfortable with. Thanx!!!!! so much for these informative videos!!! luvluvluvem! Between you and Warren, the mixing world is opening up more and more every day!

This is what I’ve been looking for!

Awesome process!!

Thank you for asking! I use Cubase but it really does not matter which DAW you use in the videos, they are all very helpful and I really appreciate the drum recording videos, thanks!

Brilliant part 2, man. 12/10 this time round IMO. I use Cubase but TBH I don't think it matters what DAW you do these sorts of tutorials on. Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, whatever. The moves you're demonstrating here will, I'm sure, work just as effectively in any of them. It's the moves that matter, and especially your commentary on them, not the DAW.

Reaper user here. Great videos! I keep learning lots from these videos.

I've recently switched to band lab's cakewalk. I learnt on pro tools and reaper, used reaper at home, used pro tools while I was in college, but recently revamped my pc and swapped over to cakewalk after hearing good things. I love the UI, the stock plugins kick ass, and learning curve for a new DAW is pretty easy, having some past experience. Aside from a few things I'm figuring out here and there, I'm really impressed so far. Even comes with its own version of guitar rig and it's surprisingly good. I'd highly recommend checking it out, as it's free :)

I’m a cubase user. Thank you dude so much for these vids. Learned so much perfect instruction🤘🏻🤘🏻

Great info as always, I really really appreciate you doing this! Hug you Glenn!

Thanks, man!! Actually SUPER thanks for your work!!!

Cubase user here too, learning a lot from your vids, thanks man

Do more of this Glenn!

I've been using Logic for almost 10 years now, absolutely love it! It works almost exactly the way I want it to. Reaper and Cubase are great too, and I've been meaning to look into Studio One!

Really nice, Glen. That's what I call premium, high quality, triple A+ content. Thanks for sharing. Though I absolutely prefer Reaper, I tend to leave my comfort zone every once in a while too and experiment with Cubase and Logic (if I have to ;) ) So I don't have a problem with you using Steinberg's DAW for this, if anything I appreciate it. Especially since your steps can be followed and "translated into Reaper" easily imho. Great video ... Love it..!

I'm am really looking forward to seeing studio set ups . I am starting from scratch and any info how others do it would be gold dust to me !!!

Thank you so much Glenn, great series!! I use Cubase Pro 10, and I love it. I just subscribed to your freakin' awesome channel. Greetings from Berlin. 😎 ✌️

I am very new to recording so far using reaper! The stereo field for these drums feels so nice!

Cubase 10.5. So this video is literal gold for me. I'd love to see you do the same treatment to a set of VST drums in Superior Drummer 3 (also within Cubase). Apartment Recording life requires a virtual drummer. Stoked you're using Cubase! These two vids alone have completely reshaped my mix. *high fives you so hard it stings for a solid minute afterward*

What do you do with a drummer that can’t count to four? Teach him to play waltz.

I work with ProTools would be great to see your approach there! occasionally I also use Ableton for some projects with more electronic stuff involved.

Cubase Pro, left the pro tools world back 15 years ago.

I'm on Ableton, after working with several others I just somehow settled into this one. The launchpad is super fucking cool, too.

I've been using logic since 2010 when i started my music course at college. Where as i didn't do very well in the studio engineering part of the course, I'm still learning new things from it and I still believe there are a tonne of things with logic that I still have no idea about. What love to hear your vies on logic

I use studio one 3 for mixing my drums! Absolutely love it.

Man when he's muting/unmuting around 17:40 you can hear the cymbals pump hard in the smasher. Drums still sound mad nasty! Thanks Glenn!

Reaper! Love these videos!

I've been using Studio One 4 for about a year now, and I love it. Workflow is great, and the stock EQ and Compression are some of the better plugins I've used stock or third party. All I really use beyond the stock plugins with it are BiasAmp/FX, GGD through Kontakt, and a few Waves like the SSL E-Channel, G Buss Comp, and Scheps 73 M/S EQ. Even the stock VST Instruments are great, and you can get a ton of really cool sounds without ever even using third party stuff.

I've been using Studio One 3 Pro for 3 years and still loving it. Stock plugins are always usefull, I use them mostly for neutral treatment or fx like phaser.

I use Cubase. Your videos are very interesting and educational. Thank you very much. Keep it up! GREAT!!!

Cubase and Pro Tools. Thanks for the video. Awesome stuff.

I'm not even using a digital audio workstation! I'm on a 4 track cassette recorder at the moment. Working with it really makes you rethink the way you engineer and route things.

A DAW is a DAW imo, I use Ableton 10 suite and Samplitude Pro X4 suite, the stock plugs in both are great. Another cracking video Glenn!!!

I followed this to make a preset on Superios Drummer and it ended sounding great! I'll try to get some raw drum recordings to keep practicing! Thanks Glenn!!!!!!

I was a Logic user before Apple bought it...it was fantastic. Then I made the switch to Cubase. Coming from the days of physical faders, early Cubase caught my attention with its mixer. I have also added Audition, FL Studio, and Reason to my arsenal. Glenn you really have me thinking about adding Reason and Studio One as well!

Love the channel! Noob question from a fairly experienced person. I've been doing broadcast mixing for most of my career, and have always mixed to 0VU@-20dBFS to keep the CRTC happy. This usually has my 2-mix meters peaking between -12 and -10. I've recently gotten back to working on music, so how hot do you like to hit your 2-mix?

Reason 10 but sure the workflow can be done in about every Daw when you got the good infos... Thanks Glenn for these!

I'm working on ableton love these videos!!!!

I have several DAW programs but my workhorse is still Sonar Cakewalk Producer. It's the one I have invested the most time in as well as outfitted with 3rd party plugins. It has always served me well. That said, it doesn't matter what you have but how you use it. Glenn is proving that.

Mixcraft on the go, Studio One and Reaper at home, then , on your recommendation, just purchased Harrison Mixbus. Really excited to record the new album with Harrison

I use studio one. Love it.

I've been using Mixcraft by Acoustica since about 2009 I'm currently on version 8. (home not pro) I've recorded everything from single guitars to a full live band setting. It does what I need it to and I'm just used to the workflow. I would love to try others if I had the cash lol.

I use Reaper. And Thank you for all the tutorials!

HI Glenn, Love the show. I understand your teaching well. I'm originally from MI, Det. area music scene & my wife being a Canadian. lol (this is long. Very Sorry) I do have a question about a DAW that I am currently using. It's a bit of a learning curve from the others I have used. It's Harrison Mixbus v5. I saw your comparison videos with Mixbus vs Reaper and that's where my question comes from. I currently live in FL and my MI band and I are currently writing/recording across states. The the timing and scheduling sucks. I usually do most of the mixing from here. When I get a song, most of the tracks are usable, we've been working together forever, however sometimes I would will get a kick or snare track that is weird. (bad mic etc..) I could have the drummer retrack it but it will take more time to get it back. I would like the option to Quickly replace it even if we end up redoing it later. I have "Reagate" from Reaper and I understand how to use the midi out option in the plugin to trigger a sample, however, I can not figure out the correct routing while using it in Harrison Mixbus. (their forums have nothing) I know I could do it in Reaper and then import it after, but I know there's a way to just do it in Harrison Mixbus and Its driving me nuts the I haven't solved it. I'm sure its Operator error on my part. If you have any tips it would be much appreciated. If not. I understand. Thanks again for your videos 3 times a week we love them

I saw a video where you were talking about starting on Cakewalk sonar years ago. Have you tried it since BandLab bought it and made it available for free? I’d love to see you do a video on it. I’ve been using since it was sonar x1. Great DAW.

I use cubase. I've been on it for about 3 years now. Really liking this series Glenn.

Thanks for that, man. Very helpful. But where is the following video, "next week"? :C

I've used Reason for years. Sometime Logic Pro but Reason has always been my go-to.

Hi Glenn, ¿What about recording drums with one mic,?

I absolutely agree about getting stagnant with one DAW. That's how I was with FL Studio before moving to REAPER once I saw it do everything I needed in your videos (and for an amazing price). I don't mind what DAW you use for tutorials, since it's the technique that's important and should apply to all applications.

Glen how do you feel about Superior drummer 3? I use it for the tracker program with REAPER but keep the overheads real no sound libraries for the cymbals at all 4 behringer C4s for HH RD and 2 overhead. It sounds really good with my band I am in right now. The room we rehearse and record at is in a old retired elementary school classroom lots of room. So the brick walls are not the best for sound and money is tight. I just started learning more about recording better just looking to see what vst's are great for mic'd up guitars with sm57's I am sure you have that video here, and drum plugs mixing techniques you have helped us as a band here in Michigan a lot to say the least Your Channel is so fucking kick ass too man!!! I just discovered you like a week ago. Cheers!!!!

Hey Glenn. *Do you ever automate EQ as part of your mixing process ?* I’ll automate strip levels, sends and turning inserts on and off, but I’ve never thought about automating eq changes other than for effects, like a sweeping low pass, If you do automate EQ tweaks in a mix, Where, when and how ?? #FYG

I am currently in school, we use ProTools, though if you have tips for using Reaper or more Cubase I am definitely down!

Very good , useful couple of videos Glenn . Also thought i'd let you know that i was talking to my friend Nige Halford ( Robs little brother ) at his bands gig a couple of nights ago and told him to recommend you to Rob / the band as a choice for possible producer for the next priest album . Will also mention you to Ian Hill next time i see him in the pub , but he hasn't been in for a while

Currently using Logic Pro X. My UR44 came with Cubase AI - looking forward to trying it out! But AI doesn't include the vintage compressor, so I might upgrade to Elements.

I'm fairly new to the recording game. I've used qbase and cakewalk before, but with a limited set up (2 input interface, crappy computer). I'm using Reaper now and doing live drums, so these tutorials have been great.

Hey Glenn! Keep using Cubase as much as you can, please man! Really informative tutorials, as usual, so big 'Thanks' from me.
