You’re not alone with this problem — Cubase is fine for MIDI editing, but its notation side is pretty weak, especially for complex drum parts like those Meshuggah-style grooves. Even with different drum maps, the printed score often ends up messy and hard to read.
The easiest workflow is to export the MIDI from Cubase and open it in a dedicated notation program. <strong data-start=”395″ data-end=”408″>MuseScore is a great free option: it handles drum notation well, lets you clean up rhythms, set proper sticking and voices, and produces readable scores. If you want something more advanced, <strong data-start=”590″ data-end=”600″>Dorico is excellent for drums and odd meters, with very smart MIDI import. <strong data-start=”669″ data-end=”681″>Sibelius and <strong data-start=”686″ data-end=”696″>Finale also work, but usually need more manual cleanup.
In short, Cubase isn’t the right tool for this job — a notation program will save you a lot of time and frustration.
