@Carlo Filingeri yeah it’s really good how it can just auto detect the keyswitches for some libraries I’ve found it does that with some of the East West I tried .

@Ken Pedraza Cubase does not have a dedicated Retrospective Record button for audio like it does for MIDI, because continuously recording raw audio to disk would consume massive amounts of system resources. Instead, Cubase utilizes a powerful Audio Pre-Record Buffer to capture spontaneous audio ideas. Configuring this feature allows you to recover inspiration you sang or played while practicing before actually hitting the record button. How Audio Pre-Record Works When the pre-record buffer is enabled, Cubase constantly listens and stores the last few seconds of incoming audio on armed tracks, even while you are just playing or singing along in Stop mode or during playback. When you start recording after the fact, Cubase will append the audio captured in the buffer to the beginning of your new audio event. Configure the Pre-Record Buffer To ensure enough time is saved in the buffer: 1. Go to Transport > Project Settings (or press Shift + S). 2. Look for the Record Audio Pre-Record (seconds) field. 3. Enter the number of seconds you want to hold in the background (you can set this up to 60 seconds). 4. Click OK. Capture Your Idea 1. Make sure your desired Audio Track is Record Enabled (the red record light is on). 2. Play or sing along to your track or a click while Cubase is stopped or during playback. 3. When you stumble upon a take you want to keep, simply press the Record button (or hit **Asterisk/NumPad ***) while your idea is still fresh. 4. Stop recording. 5. Select the newly created audio event and click and drag its left edge outwards. You will reveal the audio you performed right before you hit record, up to the length you set in your Pre-Record settings.

@Elena Thompson let us all know what score you get

I've added so much more to this in the last few days. Ear Training for Intervals, Modes and Chord Quality Arpeggio practice and lots more options in scale practice to help towards ABRSM Piano Grade, plus all progress is tracked and you can send a link to your piano teacher for them to check your progress and ensure you are doing the practice you need

@Lex Windle I think it’s very unlikely you’ll get any placements without pitching. If you’ve got so many tracks ready then yeah I think start to pitch these to libraries

@Lex Windle I would highly recommend joining Alex’s Audio Artist Rize programme where there is guidance on networking etc plus the zoom calls with Alex would be great place to ask for more guidance

For me the very thin small grey font you’ve used was almost unreadable for me on my phone, haven’t tried on desktop pc but I mostly browse on my phone. The YouTube video didn’t seem too bad as long as it doesn’t start suggesting other content when it finishes and people can’t click up and end up in YouTube and get stuck in that rabbit hole

@David Garcia yes much easier to read now on mobile

With the amount of releases being added to streaming platforms it’s unlikely to get noticed in my opinion. Have you got a goal or purpose in mind for the music, do you want to licence it or are you just composing for fun?

@Paolo Beaupérin You’ll find some posts on here about demo reels and portfolios. In my experience and from what people have told me YT is a bad platform for a portfolio as with the other videos it suggests to viewers they are likely to be taken away from your music. You also don’t have a way of tracking if people you’ve sent a link to it have viewed it however with tools like reelcraftee you can create a demoreel specifically for a person or company and view tracking metrics to see if they watch them and for how long.
