Private music production/recording/mixing studio in the south of Holland.
I am a Musician's Institute educated guitar player in a band called 'Awash' and have been using my home studio mostly for producing tracks for that band in recent years. Over the years I've done a lot of stuff related to music and have picked up lots of tricks and ways of the trade.
On this channel I intend to post videos about the broader range of music related subjects that I'm currently involved with and am going through. This could be related to music production with Cubase, guitar playing, band related subjects, gear and anything else that I might come across on my journey.

Thank you Marten for your videos
You are welcome!
Great video. ❤❤
Thank you!
Nice content! Are you not too fond of Autocrossfades?
@@j.v.f.8736 nah, I want to be in control 😉.
Awesome information , thanks! And you had me laughing at "I meestal try" (12:38 ;) ) ; these speakers seems to be great value for money!
Ha ha … didn’t even realize 😉.
I listened back, I said “I may still try” 😅. Or at least tried to say that.
Hey, you are one of the very few people I have seen on YT that actually checked the results of the room EQ independently from the curve shown by the utility. Good show ;) I do that too, and sometimes there are differences worth noting. Also, I always find Adam to have too much sharp, not shiny, top. If I was you I'd build a resonant trap to tackle that low 40.8 resonance - a long tuned damped pipe/tube in the corners would do it (can be square or sewer pipe or ... ). I won't put an URL because YT but check out DIY Audio Helmholtz pipe-dreams. I use both Sonarworks and Arc 4, both are good. I have considered buying the A8H but want bigger bass. Those who live in big cities are lucky in terms of auditioning stuff. Also, 3 way always give better mid definition, in my limited - but long - experience. Cheers, thanks for the work.
Yes the actual results are never that flat line that SoundID targets 😉. I’ll read up on resonant traps but so far I understand that it would need to be pretty big to work on such a low frequency.
@@LanewoodStudios Yes quarter wavelength @ ~40Hz is around 2m so they can be say 30x30 x200 and stand in the corners (or buy fat pipes from hardware/builder store). Best if vent is at bottom to couple with mode. They don't have to kill it just reduce it to something better ;) I've done this to handle irritating modes, worth the effort.
@jrgroberts thanks for the tip!
All the examples may sound good quality wise but song quality and production elements are off lower quality than Suno. It is like it was trained by CC songs like from Jamendo or even hired musicians where the quality of songwriting is poor. I still prefer Suno thumbs down.
Suno is also the one I use most now. Better ‘songwriting’. But let’s see what this one is really like once it gets released. If ever 😉.
No offense but maybe try opening your mouth when speaking...
Wow... nice... Rock N ...
👍
Didn't you wanna try the best? Genelec the ones?
Some like Genelec and undoubtedly they can produce results. All the Genelecs I have auditioned that I can afford, I don't like - hyper hyped. I prefer Neumann at the same price points. YMMV obvs. Adam are a bit too bright for me.
Yes it’s quite a personal choice. Have always liked Adam’s myself.
@@LanewoodStudios Yes and easily trimmed with EQ as you did. The new series are much better than older models, I have been told (yet to audition). They have always had good imaging. In fact, now I can't hear above 12K Adam brightness might be just the thing ;)
Ha ha … yes maybe the Adam’s are for ‘older’ people 😉.
Excellent video. I don't see the P22A around a lot. I would agree with you on the sound of them, the low end isn't as defined, and can even be lean sounding. I have a pair of P22A and F5 and I love Adam Audio. Now I've got a good upgrade path for the future!
Thank you! Yes the P22A’s served me well for years. But it was time for an upgrade 😉.
So I've been trying this but every time I do nothing happens. I don't get that second menu that pops up after you click convert mono to stereo. Any ideas? There must be some other setting I've missed or something but I can't figure out what
Not sure. Maybe this can help you: forums.steinberg.net/t/convert-tracks-mono-to-multichannel-not-working-in-cubase-11/719992 It’s probably one of the pre-requisites which is not fulfilled.
I have a UR28m from Steinberg but I think it’s coming to the end of its life unfortunately. Been looking at an RME so this is handy….
Yes I would definitely check them out then.
Thank you very much for your great work and effort
@@harryvanlamoen8195 glad you enjoyed it!
This is a very logical and ENGINEERING sound way of assessing spectral analysis and processing tools. These tools can produce great results, and seem to be developing each year. It's a fascinating area, and since I work with so many other musicians this area comes up often enough. Thanks for working on this.
Thansks and you’re very welcome!
Great video thanks. When I got my Babyface Pro FS it was like having a new studio. Everything sounded so good. And for guitar recording it is so good. I use bottom shortcuts every day. A for headphone/vocal recording. B for monitors only. And Dim for open up Totalmix. I wasn't a Totalmix fan when I started strugling to figure it out. However today I can't imagine working in the studio without.
Yes it’s great once you ‘get’ it.
its only text to speech now on their website at least that's all I can find now. I think maybe they gave up on the music and just focus text to speech
Maybe they’re waiting for the results of the lawsuits against Udio/Suno 😬.
actually really good and still somehow complicated. I get stuck every time I make a change and I manage to do it, but how and why... I have no idea
You’ll get used to it when you use it more 😉.
In my opinion the stems from SpectralLayers are ok for analysing purposes or for rebalancing. They cannot replace real stems. Maybe "not yet".
I agree with you. Real stems are still better, but I am always amazed by how far we got already.
Have set and forgotten my TotalMix so always good to have a reminder! Cheers.
@@ThePlanarchist yes if you don’t need any changes than you can just leave it once setup. Maybe even the defaults will work for you.
Thank you!
@@AlexBallMusic 👍🙏
What should I do if I don't get a window when I drag a sample? How can I get it back?
Not sure I understand what you mean. Is it related to something I'm showing in this video?
@@LanewoodStudios I mean the window in which Cubase offers to change the sample parameters (sampler and bit depth), like in your video. I don't have this.
@@A.Stromouse ah yes now I understand, thanks. As you can see in that dialog window there is a checkbox called “Do not ask again”. I bet you once clicked that and now Cubase always chooses the settings that you selected back then. There is a way to restore that in the preferences but can’t remember the exact preference because I’m not at my DAW now. See if you can find it and otherwise I’ll look it up.
Ah, here it is: archive.steinberg.help/cubase_pro_artist/v9.5/en/cubase_nuendo/topics/importing_audio_and_midi/importing_audio_and_midi_setting_up_audio_file_import_options_t.html
@@LanewoodStudios thanks!
Thank you for developing this and making it free. But why in Hades do I need to enter credit card info to get a free plugin? Not OK.
Do you really? I don't remember having to do that.
@@LanewoodStudios You're right - my bad. It seemed like it was going to, but it didn't.
@@jimjohnson9785 thanks for reporting back!
that's great, but, I have songs, that I lost the midi to, my own songs, how could I get those MIDI files, from a finished song????
Yeah that's a challenge because Cubase does not really do polyphonic pitch detection. Maybe first separate the stems with SpectraLayers and then convert those to midi with either Cubase or melodyne in case of polyphonic stems. But expect to do a lot of 'manual labour' in that process. If someone else knows of a smoother way, I'm interested as well.
if you play something and record as midi event then you can drag this as a midi pattern in pattern option left up corner works on both guitar hai piano
@@shokishok967 👍
Awesome stuff. Very well done and easy to understand. Thank you.
You are very welcome. Glad you found it easy to understand!
former Universal Audio hardcore user here, I had massive issues with latency and driver an my PC. Now back on RME - and finally very happy.
Excellent!
Great video as always. One Question though. If I'm programming a chord progression using the Chord editor and want to go back to just putting in single notes, how do I do it? Do I have to create a new midi track? There doesn't seem to be a way to shut this editor off once you start using it. I also saw this issue on the Cubase forum. Might be worth mentioning if this is the case. Still in my top three. Keep up the great work.
I hadn't even noticed that because when I'm done I typically close the event (midi) editor. And if you then re-open, the chord editing selection is gone. So that is one way to get back to editing individual notes. Another way I found is to change the editing tool (that you have selected in your cursor) and then go back to the draw tool again. But if anyone knows more ways, let us know :).
Good job, very well explained. since your Totalmix does not have FX could be the perfect oportunity to use something like Waves Super Rack performer. I´d love to see the integration between the two softwares in terms of latency.
Thank you! I've never done anything with Waves Super Rack performer but will check it out thanks.
Thanks for the video. Just wish you would have done it a month sooner! 😂 I started pushing beyond basic recording TotalMix use when I began mastering some songs with WL and analog gear and reference trax. Banged my head against the wall for a while but finally got it working to my liking. It has given new life to an old Tascam 2516 board.
Ah well, it seems you figured it out all by yourself 😉.
This is fantastic for me. I can sing fine, but my voice is not great for some genres of music. Now I won't feel so limited when writing songs
Exactly!
Very well explained , thanks a lot
🙏
Thanks for the video. When my current interface dies I'll probably move to RME and will have to get my head around Totalmix so this will be very useful.
It's a great brand of audio interfaces that I've been using trouble free for over 20 years now. So highly recommended. And with these TotalMix basics, you should be set!
Ha, I'm still using a pair of 9632 PCI cards, 2x ADAT I/O, on Windows 11 and it is perfect
Yes those older cards are still supported! My first one I was taking about was a 9652 PCI. Not using it anymore but still supported.
Do you have a PCI slot on your motherboard or do you use an adapter ?
@@soshomusic not using it anymore. The new RME card that In talk about in the video has a PCI express interface. So that does still fit in my PC ;).
@@soshomusic I think I got the last motherboard ever made with PCI slots. GA-Z270M-D3H Gigabyte
Hi! For mastering I have created a folder in my hdd and put there all the mastering projects. I do in this way: export my mixed project converting it in WAV and then I open another project and import the WAV file and begin to master it by adding the plugins chain in stereo bus. Is it a right way to proceed?
Sure if it works fine for you. I would just make sure that all audio files of a Cubase project are under the Cubase folder for that project.
What do you use to route to your monitors - especially if you mix 5.1 or more?
I do only stereo myself at the moment and have a stereo monitor controller in between my audio interface and speakers.
Thanks for this 👍
@@JakeJacobMusic you’re welcome!
Have you used TotalMix before? What do you think about it?
I tried the demo. For me there is few things that are different than what I have in FLM. Like that chord pad thing where I can assign whatever chord I come up with to a pad. I am sold.
Great and enjoy!
I think the biggest issue that people don't realize is that if they don't upgrade by the shutdown date, they'll never be able to. For instance, anybody on Cubase 11.x and older would be stuck on their old version forever unless they bought a new license as a new customer with no upgrade pricing.
@@mjducharme now is definitely the time to start thinking about upgrading.
@@LanewoodStudios I think there's going to be a bad situation though because a lot of people are just seeing "end of elicenser - oh but my software will still work afterwards? nothing to worry about then".. and then in a couple years they'll suddenly want to buy an upgrade to the latest version, and find they can't, and then you'll have upset people.
@mjducharme I believe Steinberg have said to make sure you register your current copy with them and then handle any such situations on a “case by case” basis. But better to be ahead of this.
@@LanewoodStudios if that’s the case then that’s good - however in case you didn’t notice, they revised the website that you originally went through in your video to clearly indicate the following: After the eLicenser service ends, upgrading your eLicenser-based product to Steinberg Licensing will no longer be possible. For example, users of Cubase 11 (or earlier versions) will need to purchase a full version to update to the latest version.
@mjducharme ah yes I hadn’t seen that yet. If that is what they’re saying now then that will be the situation going forward. All the more reason to bring this to everyone’s attention so they can upgrade now if they still want to 👍.
Thanks for good tips! "Electric guitar is stepping on the vocal too much" haha everytime man.
Of course 😉. And you’re welcome!
This is amazing - most of this I had no idea about - will change my life!
@@dnaldoog3114 yes it is very useful!
the real pain are lyric glitches, like wrong pronunciation. Any idea how to solve this?
In a song with a vocal generated by Suno or Udio you mean? I would just record the vocal part with a real singer again ;).
Thank you!
👍
You did not mention if it can control the master volume channel? I have a presonus ioStation 24c and it does not control master ch I was thinking of getting the whole ssl 360 set uf8, and plug-in controller
@@DJ_ByPDipper ha frankly I do not even know, I’ll have to try it for you or someone else may reply. The fader of my stereo out channel is always at zero. I use a separate monitor controller for reducing volume if I need to.
Excellent tutorial, thanks.
@@user-du9bv3zv4e you’re welcome!
Question won't people try to use it's Web site to mimc other voices for scams
These are not the voices of famous people if that is what you mean.
@@LanewoodStudios I meant mimc voices for like prominenting scams and false stories. Sorry for bad spelling
@user-oj3nh9qe3l ah ok yes. Well Audimee does not provide copies of famous singers. Some of their vocalists do remind you of someone famous sometimes though.
This is amazing DAW to try, I'll definitely use it.
@@musicbykronix give it a go 👍
If steinberg notices you used your Steinberg license (not eLicencer) on 2 computers, is that a problem ? Or just do not use them together at the same time is that ok ?
@@bonno666 yes, you are able to activate the new licensing on three different systems. But just not to use them at the same time.
Are you using Adam Audio P22 monitors? Can you do a video on those?
