Synopsis

Cubase SX is a radical new Cubase which takes professional software-based music creation and production into the 21st century. The digital desktop recording studio is now, more than ever, a reality and Steinberg have managed to streamline the operation of SX so that it is faster and more logical to use while also increasing its power and flexibility.

The Fast Guide to Cubase SX provides all the information you need to quickly master the essentials of the software and also explores advanced techniques. The book covers all the important aspects of the program including recording and editing in the Project window, mixing in the Mixer, audio looping and editing in the Sample editor, and detailed MIDI editing in the the MIDI editors. Installation and setting up are explained and detailed information on audio and MIDI recording techniques, EQ, compression, gating, limiting, effects and mix automation are all featured. Projects throughout the book describe Cubase SX in a number of recording and editing situations, providing valuable practical insights into how best to use the program for specific tasks.

The Fast Guide to Cubase SX is not a retread of the manual. It is designed to be the ideal companion to Steinberg’s user documentation and suits all levels of users, from the home sound recordist/musician to the advanced audio professional.
