Looking for some new pad sounds for your ambient-style productions in Cubase? We’ve got you covered! In this Cubase video tutorial series, sound design guru Gary Hiebner shows you how to design your own lush, ambient pads using what you already have in Cubase, including VIs like Retrologue and Padshop, along with sampling/resampling techniques and other tips. By the end of this Cubase sound design course, not only will you know enough to start designing your own unique pads and ambient textures for your very next track, you’ll also be much more familiar with these instruments in general, making sound design quicker and easier overall. These Cubase production videos are designed for Cubase users familiar with Cubase and looking to learn how to create new pad sounds. To kick things off, Gary briefly discusses pads in general, explaining what they are and how they’re typically used in most productions. He then familiarizes you with the virtual instruments in Cubase that he’ll be using throughout the course. Then he concentrates on using pads for a song’s intro, demonstrating how to layer various synth pads together to create a complex, evolving sound.
