New SX tutorial video series starting... part-1 is online - part 2 being added tonight

oh yeah!... the new system makes it so easy to knock them out, I did 2 over the wekend between other stuff.

Part-1 is up, zipped downloadable DIVX format .AVI video finished at 720 x 576 so you can watch it full-screen if you like and it still looks ok, (43mb d/load)

we've managed to get a better image for an even smaller filesize now by experimenting for ages with different custom renders - the video is a full 1/2 hour in length at only 42mb!


part-2 is being checked right now prior to rendering for the www and will DEFINATELY be added tonight



Parts 1 & 2 cover intro stuff... Intro to the arrage area, how the grid & snap all works both in the arrange & key edit windows (piano roll edit)... plus other little required bits and bobs noobs should know to get cracking & make some music inc' using the line tools various poermeatations for doing shit like drawing in gate-controller moves etc


Part-3 is going to be DRUM-MAP tutorial... Part-4 will move on to apply the same tools, snap & quantise tricks as used in arrange & edit windows to work with the track-automation.... then we'll move on, etc etc

i reckon it'll require mebbe 6 or 7 'intro' parts before we can get to the "Making a song from scratch using stuff we've previously learned"

Plus, Joy of joys, we managed to also get a system setup so SX can play VSTi's while being filmed with the screen-grab s/w, so it's going to be pretty cool the further in we go cos we can show stuff and you can hear it.


anyways, if you're a Cubase Noob, this isnt like a manual where you have to wade thru every tiny detail bit by bit just to glean the bits you DO need to do the work. The series only covers the required stuff to get working, you can look up tiny more obscure features in the manual.


cheers


next up for video is the final BCF footage for SX, and then an additional video for using 2 x BCF with SX & LOGIC, then we're back to new parts for the SX series... (somewhere we'll fit in Part-2 of the e-mu 1820m, patchmix s/w walkthru) then we'll be up to date.

stay tooned!

Really useful stuff, especially the snap part has some good tips even for experienced users.

hey, we got Part-2 done finaly last night, it just has to be rendered into a web-file so it'll definately be added tonight

it's long tho - a whole frikkin hour!!. We tried to make it shorter but there's just so much things inside the key-edit window to cover.

ok, it'll be up later tonight and it'll be around a 80-90mb d/load.

ah... now, after we rendered Part-2, we discovered that we could crisp the image better by adding .001 % sharpness to the whole video - so we're re-rendering right now and it'll be done in another hour or two - sorry for this extra delay but the image will be crisper so it's worth it.


we'll also re-render PART-1 with the SHARPNESS filter and re-add it for a crisper image after part-2 is uploaded.

cool...

though.. for me the video and audio got out of sync with a few seconds after the first 15 minutes or something....

Maybe its just an old codec or something, coz its the same with windows media player and bsplayer too..

Hi,
The tutorials are fantastic.

In Lesson 2 (key editor) I can't find "edit vst instrument"
I am using sx3 with latest update.
Help.
