I always feel that the Cubase channel Strip is so Underrated.

Finally a producer how uses Cubase with a lot of knowledge and is entertaining at the same time (rare combo to find). Love your videos man, keep up the good work :)

This episode was great Dom! Sometimes you just need a reminder that what comes in your DAW is very much usable and possibly easier to get a great result quicker because of how it's laid out! Also Cubase has high quality processing out of the gate :0

Channel strip is the best tools of Cubase for my workflow

Cubase channel strip is a win win situation

Hello Dom, that was a great video, thank you.
Regarding 5:27 I would say it would be worth mentioning that, although the PRE section (pre gain+polarity+filters) lays together with the eq, it acts always before everything in the chain, independently if you put your channel strip before or after inserts. PRE section is always before everything. I had before this confusion and manual is not clear hear. Master Chris helped me to understand this a couple of years ago.

I’m guilty of kind of forgetting about the channel strip a lot of the time. This video is awesome. Makes me want to fire up the Mac and get mixing!

I tried to start using the Cubase Channel Strip years ago when it first came out, but never really got used to it and kept on building my own chains on inserts. I'm now persuaded to give it another go. Thanks for another great Cubase video.

your face expressions when you are mixing say everything about the passion for your job .. just lovely

This is totally timely Dom! As my computer is getting older I have been using more of the Cubase Plugins to save on CPU, especially in the tracking phase. I should have been using the channel strip more the whole time, it really is underrated. Great video man!

Steinberg made a wise choice making this so comprehensive. Many mixers have no need to go searching for ‘extensions’ while in a DAW. The fact any installation of the same version will have all these capabilities built in is a wonderful feature for those who travel.

The side-chain capability of the gate makes for a great noise reduction feature for guitars, placed last but triggered by the unamplified guitar. The range chosen for the Hold control of the ‘standard’ compressor is just begging for an update. My Hold values are typically 50-200ms, all of which are at the first 2% of the knob rotation. I’m sure that’s just an error.

The sound of the tube compressor is pure gold.

[ROQSTAR]

Tube Compressor and Channel Strip are amazing!

I just absolutely love the native plugins available in cubases channel strip. I just completely believe that using these adds ultra stability to the platform. Nothing is more stable than native plugs and they are so good!

[TheDeepBlueProject]

channel strip presets...I know what i will do this weekend ;) Nice video Dom !!

[LindaMissad]

Dom, you make this soo easy to understand. Thank you for the clarity. I have never really used it, but now I'm going to explore it more.

[duartecancela]

A real men's happiness when he is doing what is like! Thanks for your tutorials.

Im using the Strip when doing final mixing and adding vocals in Cubase, afte Producing in Bitwig...looping the Mix through my analog gear and then adding acustica audio on the stereo out inserts....but the Strip....makes final mixing and vocals...super super fast, you can really get to that final sound on each bus....so much easier than pulling up all these different plugins..especially in the final mastering stages, thats the value I see in the youve colored your whole mix with your prefered 3rd party plugins/and or/tracking each bus through analog

[timweinheimer]

Thanks for reminding me of the channel strip. I have glanced over this too many times.Cheers Dom

[AndiPicker]

I started using Channel Strip after I reviewed Harrison Mixbuss for a magazine and realised how slick the "restricted" workflow model can be. Good vid, and I love how you bop along to the music -

[Phileosophos]

Yet AGAIN I learn about a TON of stuff already built into Cubase that I knew nothing about. Thanks again, Dom!
