Cinematic Studio Strings: Cubase Track Presets
For those of you who are following my course at digitalcomposing.com and are using Cubase, here are some Track Presets for CSS.
They are divided in 3 categories (as shown in the course): long, short and pizzicato. The longs include legato, legato tremolo and legato marcato. The shorts have staccatissimo, staccato, sforzando and spiccato loaded. There's also a 4th category that will just load everything.
The presets will load in a disabled state to save RAM.
The Expression Maps are already set within the presets.
Only the close+main mics are enabled (because the room mic doesn't sound really good.)
Kontakt instances are purged (I like to be efficient!)
They are color-coded as per my taste. Deal with it.
Negative delays are set as per the CSS manual.
Vibrato is set to CC14 and is set to 40 (to avoid the Parkinson Orchestra.)
Pre-gain is +3dB and track faders are at -6dB.
If you don't know what Track Presets are, just watch this video:
I also have the matching Track Presets for CSSS. Shout if you want them!
