Today we'll look at the ways in which we add all different types of Tracks into our Cubase project!
Althea shares how to route audio to a mix track and how to bounce from there using Cubase.
This post includes a video guide to making your orchestral mockups sound better, as taught by the Berklee Film Scoring Department.
Audio Routing in Cubase
Film scoring professionals often receive stereo audio files with sound effects and time tracks panned to opposite sides. This allows scorers to easily isolate sound effects and time tracks! In this video, Althea explains the isolation process.
The Tempo Warp tool in Cubase allows users to warp musical timebase events to follow linear events or timecode positions!
In this video, we go over the basics of importing and exporting tempo tracks/tempo maps into Cubase!
In this video, Althea shows us how to use the new Cubase 10.5 export video feature!
In this video, Althea walks us through creating Syncpoint Markers in Cubase.
When working with video in Cubase, you may need to adjust the frame rate of your project or the SMPTE timecode value at the project start.
This post covers the basics of importing video into Cubase efficiently and neatly.

When working with video in Cubase, one may need to change the tempo of empty/negative bars without altering the alignment of the video and its audio track.
Of you were to simple adjust the tempo at bar -1 to match the tempo of bar 1, the video would not be aligned at bar 1. Follow these steps to ensure that your video stays aligned with its audio when you adjust the tempo of negative bars:

Here's a video tutorial going over the basics of setting up time signatures in Cubase.
Time Signature Setup Steps:
The Tempo Track Editor provides an overview of the project tempo settings & you can edit tempo events here.
Whether you are syncing your click to an audio recording or to a picture, this tutorial will help you learn how to create a tempo map for your music using MIDI Tap Tempo in Cubase. You can either use an external MIDI keyboard or an in-house keyboard within Cubase!
For Film Scoring students at Berklee using Cubase in their work and major, we purchase the FIlm Scoring Bundle as part of our Major Package Bundle! How exciting! Within this FS (Film Scoring) Major Bundle, we purchased a library of instruments known as Vienna Instruments. The FS Department designed and built specific Expression Maps for us to use for said Vienna Instrument sounds, so today we will be learning how to download those Expression Maps and what they do!
For Film Scoring students at Berklee using Cubase in their work and major, we are required to work from a Cubase Profile Template that the Film Scoring department so kindly created for us! It's extremely helpful for getting up and running in Cubase!
This guide is for students who are looking to learn how to create new Cubase Templates. Templates helps us to start fresh on a new project, but with a few essentials already established! This example I made is making a template for a vocal and acoustic guitar.
