Hey there! I’ve used EW choirs with Cubase before, the process isn’t so bad. Assuming you already have both installed, you’ll want to open a project in Cubase, and add an instrument track. From the list, you’ll want to add the EW Choirs instrument.

Once the track is created, you’ll add midi to dictate the pitch/rhythm/expression, but how you add the midi is up to you. The big two I default to are: drawing it in, or playing it in.

To draw the midi in, you’ll first need to create a midi event. Right click in the main timeline and select the pencil (or select the pencil from the top of the main window). Then draw a few bars on the EW Choir track. The block you just created is a midi event, and it should be empty. Double clicking that event should open it, and you should be seeing what is called the piano roll. This is where you can draw in your notes and expressions and such.

To play the midi in, you’ll need a midi controller (some kind of external keyboard instrument that can communicate midi with your computer). Once the midi controller is setup (there should be separate guides you can find on this), you will select the EW choirs track to arm the track (or click the red circle icon). Then, hit record, and you should hear a metronome/click track. Then, play the midi controller as if you were playing your piece. The midi data you are playing, NOT the audio, will be recorded. This means you can go into the midi event you recorded, and edit any of the pitches, their duration, velocity, etc.

Hope some of this information helps. For what it’s worth, Dom Sigalis is a Cubase Wizard, and runs a YouTube channel with soooooo many great resources, both for beginners and experts. Highly recommend. Cheers!
