| Cubase has been around for a while now. I remember using its ancestor, the Pro 24 software, on my Atari ST in 1987 to create musical arrangements for composition assignments during my university training years. Since then, many things have changed, and Cubase has made the transition from a MIDI sequencer to a Virtual Studio Technology (VST) software. This installment of Cubase grows on the knowledge Steinberg has acquired from years of user comments like yours and dedicated development teams. If you are new to Cubase, you can expect this software to help you through your entire musical creation process. If you are a veteran Cubase user, you will find many of the things you loved and a few new features, as usual, that have made their way into the standard music producer toolbox over the years. Hopefully, in both cases, this book will help you to get the most out of this great tool.
Like any software, as it allows you to do more things and do them in a more intuitive way, the learning curve becomes more and more abrupt. You will find extensive documentation on all available features found in Cubase on the CD-ROM provided with the software, but you will have to sift through thousands of pages of electronic documentation. For most users, this might seem like an overwhelming task. Cubase 4 Power! will provide you with the most important features and some lesser-known features in step-by-step examples, as well as online resources that complement this book. |
