Moonhare is the home recording studio of Darren Tansley built at the back of a 600 year old farm cottage in deepest, darkest East Anglia in the summer of 2017. If you like what you see the tip jar is here:- www.buymeacoffee.com/MoonhareStudio.
Darren spent his twenties and thirties touring with a variety of bands across the UK, Europe and Australia playing everywhere from back rooms of pubs to Arenas. His previous bands include Blyth Power, The Wickermen, Jilt, Jack's Family and Pavlov's Cat. He writes for theatre and podcast as well as being invited to provide piano, keys and orchestral mockups for other artist's albums. He also uses his music to raise money for wildlife charities. When Covid is over he may even get to do some gigs again (remember live music?).
Moonhare Studio is based around a windows 10, Scan 3XS i7 gen 10 laptop with 64GB RAM, Cubase Pro 12, M-Audio Oxygen 88, Icon Qcon ProX 16 channel motorised desk, Korg NanoKontrol 2 and Steinberg CC121 controllers.

4 years in the future. Thanks bro.
thank you
Does anyone know how to do this with the pan rotor knobs? I have to spin it like crazy to turn the pan left or right.. Thx!
I know it can be a bit of a pain. One thing you could try is briefly swapping the rotary controls for the faders while you are panning but that may be a bit cumbersome. Anyway see about 4 mins in on the link below for that function kzread.info/dash/bejne/fHxrus-Dj7HVedo.htmlsi=TtcBrAYgLr75lhzG
@@MoonhareStudio Thanks! Ill check it out!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Being a Cubase user and just recentely getting my NanoKontrol2, this has been extremely helpful! Thanks for taking the time!
Glad it helped. This is a great unit for the money. Wouldn't be without it.
why the f*** did this video not come sooner bro youre a life saver
When I open the control room there is no master just an empty VSTi probably because I’m using the Artist version Any help please? ☹️
I'm afraid Cubase Artist does not feature the Control Room - that is only in Pro. That means that there must be something else wrong. You need to go back through your settings. I did a response to someone else a while ago who was using Elements so you could see if any of that helps. Otherwise I'm not sure: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWuGsMOck6aZj8o.htmlsi=hfKvkCnA12poPRMF
Man you are genius
Thank you so much for breaking this down. I was beginning to think I was going crazy, but turns out it was just a midi issue. No triangle corners to be seen! Now I have a new skill for my Cubase pocket. I appreciate this!
Glad to help. I only post these because they have caused me hours of hassle and I assume others may have the same problem.
Nice one D glad to see you back online again , hope this will be a regular thing again :-)
Thanks for the kind words Darren, loved doing this interview - you rock!
I love these two!! Great interview Darren…more please 🙏 ✨
Thanks so much. On point no bulls*** awesome.
Love you
thx for the overview. i may have missed this, but are you able to save different pad banks on the unit?
Not quite sure I know what you mean but if you have it set in standard mode then you have to bank up and down to get to different groups of channels on your mixer. If you connect more than one you effectively turn them into a 16 channel (or more) mixer controller. If you're programming different controls like I do in CC mode to act as shortcuts to various functions you can save the layout for later recall and could therefore load in the layout of choice at the start of your session.
Thanks you saved me, I'm very very very bad at hardware 😂
Glad to help out. Great gadget but pretty poor indtructions.
Brilliant quick but detailed explanation.
Hope it helped. Came up in a conversation with a friend who was new to Cubase and I thought she can`t be the only one with this issue.
I just plugged mine in this morning (I use Logic) opened the configuration app typed in the CC values, opened Logic & set the transport buttons I use & I was done. 15mins. I didnt know there was an option to hold buttons for a daw xD This is a brilliant video for the set up!! thanks a million for this! I learned things as I didnt read the manual. xD
Thanks for that. I am really glad it went smoothly for your set up. The manuals are never very good for DAW controllers!
@@MoonhareStudio hence why I never even looked at it xD haha thats so true!
Hi, you have been so helpful, I thought I would bother you again. With that in mind, my Econ will no longer add markers. I have layer 2 lit, but no function. Icon told me to remove all Cubase preferences, that seems to be. a massive pain. I figured I could reset the Qcon, but can't find imap to do that. Any solution? Thank you again. Jay
Thank you so much, Darren!
Hope it was useful. They've updated again in Cubase so I may have to do another!
@@MoonhareStudio I was following it on Cubase 12 and didn't notice much difference. What have they changed?
thank you so much man! i'm learning cubase coming from ableton live and it is so different haha
Good luck then. This particular issue catches a lot of us out even when we've been using Cubase for years!
God bless you, man! Thank you!
You're welcome.
Re thks ! Same problem with icon p1-m and same solution !!!
It is a problem with all sorts of midi controllers, not just Icon but glad this helped.
Excellent thank you
This cheap little piece of kit is certainly a useful tool on my desk.
Late to this but really useful and details! - thanks!
Thanks. Probably needs an update again for Cubase users but finding the time.....
WOW weee a marvellous peak into dear ole Tom's musical act of creation here, thank U
Thanks. It was a real blast delving into this. Still every bit a masrepiece of inventiveness by all concerned.
Hi Darren. First I want to thank you for this very detailed video. I'm actually using the Nanocontrol on Reason. Is it the same for all this set up? Thanks a lot
Thanks for watching. I wish I could be more help but I don't actually have any experience with using Reason so I can't really comment on this. The basic setup stuff should work but might be worth seeing if anyone out there has done a more specific video for Reason.
@@MoonhareStudio thanks anyway. I was thinking to include Cubase in my set of working programs so this video is actually an amazing guide. I will try to find something about reason and its functions. Have a great life 🙌🙌
hi thanks for this video. I have also a icon q con pro x and it since 2 month. But in cubase 11 it does not work. Just in cubase 10.5, i wanted to upgrade today, but the erase button does not work. I do not ordered the new panel yet, cause i did not know to this.
Hi there. I have used the Qcon in Cubase 11 (I'm now on 12) so it should work. You should check the setup again in Studio Setup to make sure you do have your Mackie Controller selected and set to the Qcon. Is the issue that the whole unit is not working or is it that some features do not work?
Hi, thanks for your answer. Yes everything is set fine in the studio preferences. Macki Control is set up with the icon q con pro x and the midi setup ist also made. If did a firmware update and it works but unfortunately my keyboard was not working anymore. As i did the same in cubase 10.5 everything worked finde. But i like to use cubase 11 cause of same features there. But many thanks!!! @@MoonhareStudio
Great video . Tnx . Problem solved 👍
Simple but utterly infuriating!
Wao thks ! You saved me !!!!
Ues it is a pain. Glad it helped
Thank you so much!!!!
Glad it helped out. Enjoy!
Very useful! Thank you!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank You :)
Glad it helped.
Thanks for this very clear explanation
Thanks for watching. Glad it helped.
Thanks for the video! Is it possible to map those pan controls to some virtual synth knobs, like Filter Cut-Off? It looks like those knobs may have a "notch" in the middle, that can be not very comfortable for that?
Hi there - the pan knobs could definitely be used for that sort of function and I can confirm that there is no notch or click at the 12 o'clock centre position so I think it would work well.
Thank you! @@MoonhareStudio
This is awesome
OMG! imagine something so simple !
hi, I watch all of your video about qcon pro. But why the function keys are not editable on my cubase controll pannel? This option was seen on controll panel but not clikable. Any help from you?
On a motorbike in France for 2 weeks so can't help you straight away but if you are still having problems on my return I will try to offer assistance. Apologies Darren
I knew Tubular Bells are complex but have no idea how complex they are. Thanks 👍
Yes it was fascinsting pulling it all apart. Thanks for watching.
hahah I have a piece of tape on one of the legs. Thought I was alone on this. Solid video
Now I have an Pro XS extender it has solved the problem!
Otter Chase sounds brilliant Darren. Best of luck
Really clever idea and such a worthy cause. Thanks for sharing!
I'm just too lazy to run a marathon!
@@MoonhareStudio I am of the mind that I’m not running unless someone or something is chasing me. The “add an instrument “ idea is much better all round! lol ✌️
Great cause,Darren. Best of luck 🤞
Thanks. We have a very different landscape here but no less beautiful or important for wildlife.
4 years later and you’ve just saved my frustration. Knew you could do it but didn’t realise it was that easy. Current Cubase 12 too so still working. Thank you!!
I'm shocked it still works but glad it helped you out.
nice
Life saver! I was pulling my hair out.
Yes it is a really annoying but simple issue. Glad it helped you out.
I wish you would make such a detailed video using Digital Peformer!
Yeah... sorry about that. Don't use Digital Performer so I can't help you there.
Thank you! Perfect :)
Always happy when it helps someone out.
