Groove agent se plus#
Hope this helps - let me know if it is unclear. Absolute 4 can be good value (especially if you managed to buy it in the recent 50 off sale) - it is cheaper than buying Groove Agent 5 and HALion 6 seperately, plus you get some chargeable expansions for Groove Agent and HALion, also The Grand 3, Retrologue 2 and Padshop 2 (plus a chargeable expansion). Basically, you are taking the output of GA and feeding, playing it thru your soundcard and then REFEEDING it back into your soundcard inputs which the channel with 'monitor' enabled is attempting to add to the audio siginal.
If you do this and still are getting clipping, make sure that you DON'T have the MONITOR button ENABLED on your MIDI track - that would produce what you are experiencing. The ability to use the acoustic agent style player with be. You then can control Groove Agent's volume using the GA1 fader (I am assuming for simplicity's sake that you haven't rerouted the outputs in GA to the other three channels). For my first Quick Tip video, I look at a feature I completely overlooked in the version 5 update. Thanks for the tip, I always wished I could use Groove Agent SE in other. This will prevent GA from having a 'double tracked' effect while you monitor the recording. Dunno if it was necessary, but, in the installer I downloaded from Steinberg Download Assistant, I activated the 'Install standalone', when I updated Groove Agent SE (still have Cubase AI installed, so, it only updated Groove Agent SE).
When you are done recording, DISABLE the MIDI IN on our midi track and ENABLE 'Groove Agent' on the MIDI OUT of your midi track.
While you are recording from GA, DISABLE the MIDI OUT and set MIDI IN to 'Groove Agent' on your midi track. You should have 5 channels on your mixer: A midi channel and 4 audio channel (I think it calls it GA1, GA2, GA3, GA4). Groove Agent SE has been included with Cubase for several years, but is often neglected, being used for presets and little else.This series will help you use.
